Have you ever wondered what is normal when it comes to Testosterone? Do you have a gym mentor who swears it is harmless? How low is too low....... but for real? 

Let's talk Testosterone with Dr. Robert Stevens!

Dr. Robert Stevens qualified from Sheffield Medical School in 1997 where he achieved a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery. "I began looking to prevention, addressing the cause rather than the cure using the cornerstones of health; namely lifestyle, nutrition and exercise, before looking to modern medicine." Dr. Robert Stevens has his diploma in Fitness and Personal Training, and is an active member of the British, European & International Societies of Sexual Medicine, a connected member of The Androgen Society and the British Menopause Society, and was recently honoured to present at the IDSI 20th International Symposium on Diabetes, in association with the Mayo Clinic, USA.
