How to treat low Testosterone (Total Testosterone) and Free T in men?
You have a discussed a lot about Testosterone on AMA, and TRT but never much about how to treat low T. For eg, a male, 30 y/o has total T of 300ng/dl and free t of 1% at 3ng/dl. How to possibly diagnose the pathway that is the problem and what possible interventions can look like? Also what are the repercussions of low Total and Free T on reproductive capacity of men?
Vaccine Side Effects in Light of Damar Hamlin's Recent Hospitalization
Hi Peter, There have been recent occurrences of professional athletes (and other people in very good physical shape) having serious cardiovascular events. Extremists have attributed events like this as a side effect of Covid vaccines. I do not believe this to be true; however, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't starting to get worried. Can you please shed some light on this? Is there any data supporting the notion that vaccines cause heart attacks, heart palpitation, strokes, or anything of the sort?
Pcsk9 repatha
I started taking repatha due to intolerance to Crestor and other due to brain fog. I basically had almost no reaction to the medicine after 3 months. Doctor said I may be one of the few that doesn’t react to the medicine. He wants me to try leqvio. What can you tell us about this.
Aging
The experiments show aging is a reversible process, capable of being driven “forwards and backwards at will,” said anti-aging expert David Sinclair, a professor of genetics in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and codirector of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research. The combined experiments, published for the first time Thursday in the journal Cell, challenge the scientific belief aging is the result of genetic mutations that undermine our DNA, creating a junkyard of damaged cellular tissue that can lead to deterioration, disease and death.

NAFLD + FH concerns
I've been recently diagnosed with FH and extremely high Lp(a). In addition to this, it appears I have a small degree of fatty liver going on, which we figure is most likely caused by cholesterol not being processed properly (TG's are fine, and I'm 13% body fat). I'm on statins, ezetimibe, and repatha and responding very well in terms of the cholesterol - but now I want to tackle the fatty liver. How often would you recommend getting an uultrasound or fibroscan? Also, I'm curious what your extensive research on fasting has shown in terms of effect on NAFLD. I've done a few 3+ day fasts in the past, and am thinking of doing one again in the hopes it helps.
