Tools for Hormone Optimization in Males | Dr. Kyle Gillett

My guest is Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in
family medicine and obesity medicine and an expert in optimizing
hormone levels to improve overall health. We discuss how to
optimize male hormones using a range of nutritional and behavioral
tools, exercise, and supplementation (including discussions on
tongkat ali, fadogia agrestis, creatine, peptides and more).
We explain how puberty and aging affect hormone levels, how to use
bloodwork to monitor hormone levels, how hormone health impacts
fertility, libido, hair loss, and prostate health, and describe
behaviors that negatively impact testosterone levels. We also
discuss how to approach prescription hormone therapies, including
which biomarkers to monitor when using these approaches and how to
optimize synergistic hormones (e.g., growth hormone and thyroid
hormone) to support complete hormone health safely and rationally.
Dr. Gillett offers numerous actionable tools that can be tailored
to specific goals and age ranges to attain and maintain optimal
levels of male hormones for overall health, well-being and
longevity.  For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.
