Low testosterone has become one of the biggest topics in men's health, but for many people, hormones aren't the real problem.
In this episode, Eric Bach explains why so many men jump straight to TRT, peptides, and supplements before fixing the habits that actually determine long-term health and performance. He breaks down the biggest lifestyle factors that influence hormone function, including sleep, strength training, nutrition, stress management, alcohol, and recovery, while explaining why blood work should always come before treatment.
