In this segment, Dr. Anne Truong advises viewers who are concerned about low testosterone to stop cannabis use for 90 days, emphasizing that young, athletic individuals can often reverse the effect. She recommends obtaining a testosterone panel without needing a physician’s order, specifically requesting total testosterone, free testosterone, and sex hormone‑binding globulin (SHBG). Dr. Truong also points viewers to another video where she outlines the full set of blood tests needed for evaluating erectile dysfunction, encouraging them to review that resource for a comprehensive work‑up.

Stop the weed, give it 90 days and see where you're at. You're young, you're athletic. You should be able to reverse that. No problem. Get your testosterone level checked by bloodwork. You go get the bloodwork done. In fact, you don't even need an order for bloodwork for testosterone. And one of my videos, I talk about the bloodwork that you need to get if you have ED. So look for that video. But if you're going to get testosterone level, you should be getting a total testosterone, free testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG, on your blood work to look at your testosterone.
