Aaron Hartman, MD discusses perceived declines and abnormalities in modern testosterone levels, contrasting current younger mens readings with historical norms (1950s–60s) and linking hormonal shifts to rising infertility, PCOS, pre-diabetes, and younger-onset, hormone-related cancers in women. The segment presents clinical observations and anecdotal comparisons rather than formal study data.
