Testosterone Myth Versus Fact
A growing number of men seem to be in a panic about their testosterone levels. Social media platforms are full of posts from guys who are convinced that they don’t have enough of this hormone in their bodies and that their sex and dating lives are suffering because of it. The result is that more and more men are seeking to boost their testosterone, and companies are eager to cash in on this by selling hormone supplements. But do these guys really have low testosterone in the first place? Are some of them pushing their hormones to dangerous levels? Today’s show is all about what men need to know about testosterone. My guest is Dr. Justin Dubin, a Urologist who specializes in men’s health at Memorial Healthcare System in South Florida. Dr. Dubin is passionate about men’s health and education with the goal of improving the lives of men and their partners. He co-hosts the podcast Man Up: A Doctor’s Guide to Men’s Health. Some of the topics we cover in this episode include: What’s fueling all of this anxiety over testosterone levels in men? What percentage of men actually have low testosterone? Are there any risks of having too much testosterone in the body? How can men maintain healthy testosterone levels as they age? Is there any truth to the claim that abstaining from masturbation boosts testosterone? You can find more about Dr. Dubin’s work here. Got a sex question?
