Testosterone: The Next Drug Epidemic? What You’re Not Being Told About Hormone Therapy

Testosterone is being prescribed at unprecedented rates—and not always for the reasons you think.What was once a targeted therapy for clear clinical need is quickly becoming a trend. But when did optimization turn into over prescription? And more importantly… who is actually asking the harder questions? In this episode of Health Matters with Laura Kopec, Laura sits   down with investigative journalist Lisa Marie Shaughnessy to unpack the findings behind her book Testosterone: The Next Drug Epidemic. This is not a surface-level conversation. It’s a deeper look into how testosterone therapy is being positioned, prescribed, and in some cases—misunderstood.  This episode is for both patients and practitioners who want to think more critically about hormone health—and step outside of the one-size-fits-all narrative. It is for informational purposes and not a substitute for medical advice.
