Most TRT clinics don’t have a testosterone problem—they have a standards problem. In this solo episode, Dave Lee recaps a month of travel and teaching (Melbourne’s Trinitas Trade Expo and the Silverback Summit in Orlando) and shares what still shocks him every time he steps outside his “echo chamber”: the abysmally low standard of care that has become normal in men’s health—globally. Dave breaks down the biggest TRT red flags he’s seeing in December 2025, including: The “Burger, Fries, and Coke” protocol: a cookie-cutter combo of testosterone + AI + hCG sold by default because it’s profitable—not because it’s indicated Clinics using fear-based selling (“You’ll get infertile,” “You’ll grow boobs”) to upsell ancillaries before you even know what you need Minimal lab work that only checks if you “qualify,” not what’s actually driving symptoms (and why comprehensive assessment matters) The newer trend: clinics that push peptides on everyone—often as trendy add-ons rather than targeted tools tied to a real need Why prophylactic aromatase inhibitor use is one of the clearest warning signs of poor care The red flag that shows up later: no real follow-up, support, or education—leaving you to crowdsource your health online This episode is a practical checklist for anyone considering TRT (or already on it) who wants to identify clinics that prioritize outcomes over upsells—and find care that’s individualized, evidence-informed, and actually supportive.

In this solo episode, Dave Lee tackles one of the trickiest parts of hormone optimization that doesn’t show up on lab work: your mind. He breaks down the placebo and nocebo effects, what “psychosomatic” actually means, and why your symptoms are real even when they’re driven by the brain—not just the bloodwork. Dave explains how anxiety, over-monitoring every sensation, and trying to micromanage your TRT protocol from Reddit can completely derail your results, even when you’re working with a great provider. He lays out what it looks like to be a compliant, self-aware patient, why you must outsource protocol design to a competent clinician, and how to regulate your reactions so you don’t turn a good treatment plan into a car crash. This is a must-listen for both patients and providers navigating the messy intersection of biology, psychology, and hormone replacement therapy.

Amy Stuttle talks with Scott Brunner, CEO of the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, to cut through the noise on compounded medications. They unpack why compounding surged with GLP-1 shortages, the real difference between compounded and counterfeit, and how regulation works (FDA oversight vs. FDA approval, USP standards, batch testing). Scott explains when customization helps—think thyroid, testosterone for women, and alternative GLP-1 delivery—and what recent lawsuits and price drops signal for patients. They also cover peptide policy shifts and the looming fight over desiccated thyroid access. Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding Click Here Advocate to keep your thyroid medication!

Testosterone Replacement Therapy can feel confusing—especially with conflicting advice online. In this beginner-friendly episode, Dave Lee explains what TRT is, when it’s truly needed, and why it’s a lifelong medical therapy. He covers the core decision point (optimize lifestyle first vs. start TRT), what “good” protocols look like (stable levels via frequent low-dose injections or 20% trans-scrotal cream), and the red flags to avoid (infrequent injections, cookie-cutter add-ons like routine HCG and aromatase inhibitors, pellets/patches/gels with poor efficacy). Dave lays out the habits that make TRT work—sleep, protein-forward nutrition, steps, cardio, and resistance training—and clears up the biggest myth around fertility, including how it can usually be restored while staying on treatment. If you’re considering TRT or just had low T labs, this is your practical roadmap—and why working with a true expert matters.

Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertility—what it is, when to seek help, and why “optimize first” beats “wait and see.” Gabriela explains how the healthcare system’s 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3–4 months.
