Minisode 105: The Hidden DANGERS of Testosterone Replacement Therapy


Listen Later

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) risks and benefits explained by a triple-board certified doctor.


🚨 🧠 For all things mental health from Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza šŸ‘‰šŸ¼ https://linktr.ee/sulmanazizmirzamd


In this video, I examine how testosterone has gone from being feared to being overhyped as a magic solution for men's health issues. As a triple board certified doctor in psychiatry and addiction medicine, I break down:


• The massive boom in testosterone prescriptions despite no increase in actual deficiencies

• Why testosterone isn't a quick fix for low energy, poor gym results, or lack of motivation

• The serious risks most clinics won't tell you about (including fertility issues and permanent dependency)

• How the multi-billion dollar testosterone industry profits from men's insecurities


You'll learn how to tell if you truly need TRT or if you're being sold false promises, plus the natural ways to support your hormonal health without jumping into lifelong hormone therapy.


This video is about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and mental health and psychiatry, as part of our series on mental health and psychiatry. Subscribe to our channel if you want to learn more about mental health and psychiatry!
