STOP Treating Low Testosterone As Depression: The 160 Reading Navy Doctor Refused | Tim Parlatore

A Navy captain with 24 years of service went to medical for exhaustion, weight gain, and low mood, and was told to see a therapist and eat less. When he asked for a testosterone test his physician asked whether he had erectile dysfunction, and refused to order it when he said no. His level came back at 160; the cutoff we use in this country is 300. I've treated this population for 15 years, and roughly 27% of operators test below that number. Tim Parlatore is the attorney who wrote the Pentagon memo that now puts testosterone on the annual physical, and we get into what it says and why most men never have this hormone checked again after they leave pediatrics.Studies & ReferencesCardiovascular Safety of Testosterone-Replacement Therapy - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37326322/You Can Conquer Trauma and PTSD with Chris Frueh, PhD - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0olunOZM2lcSupport Kaczkowski Family's GoFundMe campaignhttps://impact.navysealfoundation.org/campaign/827807/donate?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioWant ad-free episodes?
