In this episode, Dr. Brandon & Dr. Morgentaler talk about the truth behind testosterone levels, including PSA changes, low testosterone treatment, and whether higher testosterone actually means better health or greater masculinity.

00:00 Testosterone and PSA Explained — Why TRT can raise PSA in deficient men and why the increase doesn't necessarily signal prostate cancer.

04:33 Debunking the Testosterone Craze — Why "maxing out" testosterone isn't necessarily healthier and how deficiency differs from normal variation.

08:45 Marriage, Stress, and T Fluctuations — How marriage, fatherhood, sleep, stress, and daily fluctuations may influence testosterone levels.

15:23 Normal Range Myths — Why differences within the normal testosterone range may have little clinical significance.

17:33 Who Should Treat — Why testosterone treatment may extend beyond men with severe or anatomical hypogonadism.

21:49 Weight Loss vs TRT — Whether men with obesity and low testosterone should lose weight first or use TRT alongside lifestyle changes.
