MEET THE GUEST
Shalin Shah is the CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals and a leader in metabolic and men’s health. He spearheaded the FDA approval of the first oral testosterone therapy for men with low testosterone. With a mission to make hormone health more accessible, Shalin advocates for education, innovation, and redefining testosterone therapy as a foundation for longevity and quality of life.


What We Talk About:

  • Why testosterone levels are rapidly declining in both men and women.

  • The connection between low testosterone, obesity, and chronic metabolic disease.

  • How environmental toxins, plastics, and fragrances disrupt hormones.

  • The symptoms and early warning signs of testosterone deficiency.

  • Why younger men are now showing record-low testosterone levels.

  • What to test for: total vs. free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, and estradiol.

  • The problem with “normal” lab ranges and how they’ve shifted over time.

  • Comparing injections, gels, pellets, and oral testosterone therapy.

  • Why oral testosterone is changing the future of hormone replacement.

  • The safety differences between delivery methods and how to minimize side effects.

  • Myths about testosterone and heart disease, cardiovascular risk, and prostate cancer.

  • How testosterone impacts mood, energy, metabolism, and longevity.

  • The fertility question: how TRT affects sperm count and new studies addressing it.

  • Why testing testosterone should be part of standard preventive care.

  • The future of hormone optimization for women and the FDA’s changing approach.
