EP 653: Can Low T Kill You?: Preventative Medicine, Longevity, & How Hormone Therapy Could Save Your Life

Today, Dr. Mistry and NAU Specialists' Dr. Yang are joined by Dr. Billy Franklin, a pioneer who focuses on preventative medicine in primary care to improve the health and extend the lifespan of his patients. Today, Dr. Franklin explains the role hormones play in longevity. Did you know that low testosterone is associated with early death? Sadly, the myth that hormone therapy can cause heart disease, stroke, or cancer keeps many patients from accessing this potentially life-saving (or life-extending) treatment. The doctors also discuss the pitfalls of conventional medicine’s over-reliance on pharmaceuticals that only treat symptoms. Early adoption of preventative health measures can extend your “health span,” or the number of years you live a relatively healthy, functional life.
