Chapters

Sexual HRT is regenerative. You've lost your ovaries or your testicles ability to make testosterone. Your brain's ability to tell the testicles, make testosterone, and you start degenerating quickly. We look at what happens with men with low T. They get more aggressive prostate cancer, they have more heart disease, they have more obesity and more frailty. They have more fractures. We'll restore that. All those things go down now. The testosterone does not protect against prostate cancer, nor does it cause it. But men with low testosterone have the most aggressive prostate cancer. Testosterone replacement does not cause prostate cancer, but it's not protective either.
