Ep. 32 - The Testosterone Crisis with Saad Alam

In this episode of One day with Jon Bier, Jon talks with Saad Alam about the dangerous effects of hormonal imbalances and low testosterone in men, its epigenetic implications, and how to address this relatively modern phenomenon. Saad does a deep dive into the testosterone crisis that inspired him to establish his company, Hone Health, explaining why testosterone is better than any drug at boosting holistic wellness and performance. Saad makes the case that supplementing with testosterone is not only a nice-to-have for today’s average man, but a foundational decision that affects every part of that man’s life—for a lifetime. Saad Alam is the Founder & CEO at Hone, an online clinic that treats men’s hormonal imbalances and low testosterone by offering at-home blood tests, 30 minute telehealth consults, and medications delivered directly to their door. Powerful Quotes by Saad If we’re talking about discretionary income, this is not discretionary. You need testosterone to literally live your life. As you age, you start to deposit that self-doubt of, “That’s just who I was when I was younger. I’ll never be like that.” That starts a negative fucking feedback cycle in your mind, and it just becomes who you are as you get older. If you nip that in the bud as quickly as possible and teach yourself to have a different thought pattern, you can accomplish so much more in your life. Key Highlights Testosterone stands above all other drugs primarily due to the fact that all others are episodic; whereas testosterone changes your entire being and does so for a lifetime, unstopped. If you have low testosterone and you supplement with testosterone as you get older, you will have fewer cardiovascular problems, lower your chances of developing diabetes and comorbidities, minimize depression and brittle bones, and live longer. Particularly when it comes to fitness, testosterone may help you win the mental battle, which always follows the physical battle (i.e. lifting heavy). Across the board, men’s testosterone is decreasing like never before. Men from three decades ago had an average of 26% more testosterone and 50% more sperm than today’s men.
