How accurate can saliva testing be next to a blood sample? From things I
have seen blood is far more accurate then Saliva. Thank you for the
video.

Great video. What are your feelings about taking finasteride for hair
loss? As a physician do you feel it is not worth the side effects? Would
you take it yourself? Why or why not? I am curious to get your opinion and
how you feel about it as I am considering it for my own hair loss.

Hello Doctor, I have a question about vegan diet. Does vegans have enought
cholesterol to have normal testosterone levels? What is your opinion on

How can I find a Dr in my area that uses that lab or tests. If I can’t
find one, can I have you order, read it and perscribe?

Doc, plus you missed the most important part when it comes to testosterone
production..

Which is the HYPOTHALAMIC PITUITARY GONADAL AXIS and its processes in the
hormonal feedback loop…

Its effects on GnRH, LH, FSH and determining if a patient has primary or
secondary Hypogonadism…

Not only is this key to determining their testosterone levels but it could
be evident that a more serious condition is at play, such as pituitary
tumor…

You talked about the pathways in which testosterone is created but if the
hypothalamus is not secreting GnRH to stimulate the release of LH and FSH
there will be low testosterone production nonetheless…

So in a lot of cases, it isn’t just about bad diet and lifestyle…There is
many other serious medical conditions causing secondary hypogonadism, as
well as primary hypogonadism…

So rather then just assuming it has to do with diet, stress, or
lifestyle…Your first step should be to take a closer look at the HPTA and
looking at LH and FSH levels to determine primary or secondary shutdown…

Again, there could be many other serious issues causing the low
testosterone production..
