You do a great job of helping us understand different connections and things that may be connected to each other.
We hear so much about testosterone, and I'm wondering, is there a connection for men and testosterone and cardiovascular health? Is there any kind of an overlap or connection on that, Dr.
Well, there's so many connections and I think we forget that everything is connected, right? Like when we go to the specialist, we're just treating one thing.
I call it silo medicine, right? So we get one doctor in this silo for this thing and he doesn't talk to the other doctor in the silo for this other thing.
And And I think Dr. Aaron and I do a really good job of kind of bringing all of those silos together and at least like making tunnels between all of them so that we realize that there's a connection.
And when we when it comes to cardiovascular disease, we surely need to talk about things like diabetes and hormone health and gut health and a bunch of other things that kind of all wrap together to create a healthy, a healthy human body.
Everything must be connected in some way, somehow, wouldn't you? I mean, obviously you think that also.
And I think, you know, we've in, in our reductionistic medicine model, we had to do it because we're all specialists, right? We had to get to the specialist and they have to, you know, be a specialist in their area and an expert and, and really deep dive and, and, and that sometimes leaves a little bit to be desired.
So when men come to the office, you know, we've got bad blood sugars, we've got abdominal weight gain, you know, and, and men are like, gosh, my clothes just don't fit the same anymore.
