Are you sabotaging your hormones with a cookie-cutter testosterone protocol? Could blocking estrogen be harming your health instead of helping? Is low testosterone silently holding you back from being your best self?

Ali shares her expertise on optimizing men’s hormones, health, and performance, breaking down common TRT pitfalls, outdated beliefs, and the importance of personalized approaches. Together, they dive into estrogen’s vital role in male health and the transformative power of optimized testosterone.

Learn how to optimize your testosterone and take charge of your health in ways you never thought possible.
