Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast!

In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia addresses the pervasive issue of declining testosterone levels, impacting both men and women. He delves into the causes, effects, and solutions surrounding this epidemic, which significantly affects overall well-being, fertility, and quality of life.

He offers practical strategies for restoring hormonal balance and achieving optimal health.

• Men's Health: Significant decline in sperm count and motility, contributing to male infertility and lower birth rates.
