Magnesium is another good

one.

Then we look at actual medical treatments.

There's a number of them.

You can do HMG, HCG, clomiphene, or zuclomiphene, or N-clomiphene.

Those two are isomers of each other.

Um, of those, uh, HCG and Clomid or Zucolafine are both FDA approved.

Yeah, they could have been running low T

And any, um, any, any common supplements that people can take if they're interested in making sure they're optimizing their hormones?

Yeah, absolutely.

So for testosterone specifically, there's four big ones.

Uh, vitamin D is huge.

Um, almost everyone's deficient in vitamin D. Zinc is another one, boron is one, and magnesium.

So those are three, those are four of the vitamins and minerals that really respond, or excuse me, that really help promote, uh, testosterone production as well as free testosterone release.

Uh, when we look at vitamin D, there's a range of normal, again, just like testosterone, from 30 to 70 if you look at it.

How do they get in touch with someone like yourself? What does that process look like? And then if you could just lay out some of the different therapies or treatments that are the most common that have the greatest impact.

It could be depression.

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, there's usually a big mental part that has to do with it.

And it kind of has what I call the circular mechanism.

And so, for instance, you have an issue performing once.

And so at that next time that the opportunity is available, that becomes a forethought.

Okay, is that gonna happen again? Am I gonna have performance issues again? And you start to focus more on the anxiety about the event than the actual event itself.

so are you as much a therapist as somebody who's prescribing

Y- you're saying that, that almost speaks to, um, how much guys don't wanna talk about this issue they're having with somebody face to face?

Yeah.

I mean, in my conversations with guys, one of the things they often t- tell me is like, "Man, I, I really don't feel comfortable talking about this.

I've never talked to... talked about this," because men are very different than women.

You know, women will, they'll get together, and they'll talk about what's going on in life and what's going on in their situations, uh, personally and intimately, and guys will just avoid it.

Um, you know, because it's not like the old locker room days when everything's kind of a competition or kind of a big deal.

Um, later on in life, it's just not like that.

Well, uh, is there anything to this that, that it's more than just maybe a, a, if I'm using this word correctly, a physiological issue that a lot of times something that might be involved is more emotional? It could be depression.
