Testosterone, PTSD, and the Connection the VA Is Missing

About this episode

The episode discusses the overlooked connection between low testosterone and mental health issues in veterans, based on a survey of 555 veterans.

We surveyed 555 veterans about depression, anxiety, and hormones. The connection we found is one the VA is completely missing.The men with the worst low testosterone symptoms were almost always the same men drowning in depression, and almost none of them were being treated for it. Here is the data, the science, and what we are doing about it.Veteran Hormone Health Assessment: https://linktw.in/YWTQLdCore Medical Group (Hormone Replacement Therapy)https://linktw.in/zJucWt
