from Fuel Different · host Sarah Williams

Your 30-year-old buddy probably has the testosterone levels his grandfather had at 60. Sarah Williams breaks down why men's T levels have crashed 50% since 1970 and what's actually causing this quiet health crisis that's affecting everything from energy to lifespan.
