The next system is the hormone system. The hormone system. We do blood work to assess your testosterone level, your estradiol level, your insulin level, your thyroid level, as well as your growth hormone level, to ensure that the hormones that are released from the brain to testicles are releasing the appropriate amount and that it synchronizes. So that's why to address the hormone, you gotta do the blood work. And if you're low in testosterone or you're symptomatic in low testosterone, we replace the testosterone hormone. And again, sleeping is important to reset your hormone level. That's how your body heals at nighttime.
