Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Sat, 18 Oct 2025
Testosterone replacement therapy is one of the most misunderstood areas in men’s health today. That’s why I sat down with Dr. Eric Serrano, one of the leading voices in human evolution and longevity, to unpack the truth about TRT, when it’s necessary, how it should be approached, and what too many people get wrong.

Dr. Serrano and I discuss why proper testing, individualized protocols, and lifestyle foundations such as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and stress management must come first before any therapy begins.

This conversation is about looking beyond quick fixes and understanding what it truly means to optimize health from the inside out.

Key Takeaways:

  • Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) must be assessed holistically, considering lifestyle factors, hormonal balance, and personalized needs.

  • Regular exercise, faith, and community engagement play crucial roles in achieving longevity and enhancing life quality.

  • Different forms of testosterone administration (injections, creams, orals) should be personalized based on individual health goals and biological responses.

  • Dr. Serrano highlights the effectiveness of strategic cycling in hormone therapies to maintain optimal results and avoid dependency.

  • The importance of personalized healthcare plans is paramount, as everyone’s biochemical makeup and health goals are unique.

Turning Autism Complexity into Clarity: How Science, Data, and AI Are Transforming Care

Fri, 10 Oct 2025

 

What if the story of autism could shift from confusion and limitation to clarity and hope? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Theresa Lyons, founder of Navigating AWEtism and a scientist with both professional expertise and personal experience as a parent.

Our conversation unpacks the multidimensional nature of autism — from genetic and environmental influences to the critical role of gut health, diet, and supportive healthcare networks. Dr. Lyons emphasizes why early diagnosis matters and why focusing on root causes, rather than symptoms alone, can change the trajectory for families.

We also discuss innovative approaches, including how treatments like Leucovorin may impact speech development, and explore the idea that autism may not always be lifelong. Dr. Lyons makes a compelling case for parents becoming informed advocates, armed with science-backed tools to help their children thrive.

Listeners will walk away with fresh insights, renewed hope, and a deeper understanding of how autism care can move beyond labels to unlock potential.

Key Takeaways:

  • Early Diagnosis is Key: Autism can be reliably diagnosed as early as 18 months, which can significantly affect outcomes by allowing earlier intervention.

  • Multidimensional Causes: Autism results from a mixture of genetic and environmental factors, making personalized and multifaceted treatment approaches essential.

  • Gut-Brain Connection: The gut's health is fundamental, with issues like leaky gut and dietary sensitivities notably affecting autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms.

  • Holistic Management Strategies: Dr. Lyons suggests a seven-step matrix addressing areas such as diet, healthcare teams, supplements, probiotics, educational approaches, mindset, and celebrating success.

  • Recent Advances in Treatment: The FDA approval of Leucovorin for children with autism underscores progress toward treating specific symptoms linked to folate metabolism.
