Key Takeaways:

Low Testosterone is a major health risk • . Low T is linked to an increased risk of bone fracture, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
TRT is often protective. • Contrary to the long-standing myth, replacing low testosterone to a healthy range does 
not • increase the risk of cardiac events. It is, in fact, protective against cardiovascular disease.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a canary in the coal mine. • ED can predict a heart attack within 3 to 5 years.
Men can maintain high T levels. • Testosterone levels in a healthy 75-year-old can be just as good as in a man in his 20s.
The solution is often concurrent. • For an obese or overweight man with low T, concurrent treatment with TRT and a lifestyle intervention is often the most responsible approach to provide the motivation needed for weight loss.
Low-dose daily Cialis • (2.5mg to 5mg) may be a viable preemptive strategy for cardiovascular health due to its blood flow benefits.

Cancel Your Fear of Dying: How to Live Fully by Facing Death | Elena Brower

In a powerful episode of the Dr. Gabrielle Lyon show, I sit down with my mentor, Dr. Donald Layman, to directly address some of the most common protein myths. We react to a controversial clip from the Huberman Lab podcast with Dr. Christopher Gardner, offering a different perspective on the conversation about protein intake, metabolic science, and dietary guidelines.

Dr. Layman, a pioneer in protein research, breaks down the outdated science behind the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), the flaws of nitrogen balance studies, and why a protein-conscious approach is crucial for your long-term health, not just for building muscle.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to cut through the confusion and understand what the science really says about protein, from its role in metabolism to why a grain-based diet may be leaving you deficient.
