Moment: Is Your 'Normal' Testosterone Actually Low? Ft. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler

In this episode, Dr. Rena Malik, MD hosts Dr. Abraham Morgantaler for an in-depth discussion on the diagnosis of low testosterone. They emphasize the importance of measuring free testosterone rather than relying solely on total testosterone due to its significant clinical relevance. Dr. Morgantaler explains the various forms in which testosterone circulates in the blood and the impact of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) on testosterone availability. They also address the common pitfalls in interpreting lab results, the role of other related hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH), and the potential misguidance from reference ranges provided by laboratories.
