EPISODE 105 | Low Testosterone and Why So Many Men Feel Off with Justin Groce

You’re in for a treat with this interview.We start out by talking what it looks like when a man has healthy levels of testosterone and what it looks like if testosterone is low. You’ll see that the role testosterone plays is way bigger than we typically give it credit for. Then, Justin squashes the stigma around testosterone usage and what healthy masculinity really is.Justin opens up about his own journey with low testosterone as well and how he went from a bunch of medications that didn’t feel right to actually addressing the root cause of his symptoms. We discuss what the multifaceted root of low t actually can be, most common symptoms, the role of support systems, how hard it is for men to make friends, what to do about it, proactive and preventative strategies to balance your hormones in the first place, and even what to know about lab numbers and their lack of standardization.On the surface, you’ll walk away from this episode equipped to know if you should test for low T or not. If you go deeper into the more subtle themes presented, you’ll start to wonder about why you and I have evolved the way we have, if we’re going in the right direction, and then hopefully you’ll start to question if getting to the root is a better route than treating symptoms. If we want to change our story, Justin and I agree that it’s a great idea to advocate for yourself, get to the root of what ails you, and go back to the basics when taking care of yourself so that your body can go back to balance and therefore change the trajectory of your evolution.So, from the mind-blowing little known symptoms of low testosterone that are scattered throughout the entire discussion to the other end of spectrum where I feel like we’re all trying to figure out how to get access to the right types of holistic healthcare, let’s dig in.
