Understanding Testosterone with Dr Jonathan Andrews | Christmas Countdown 🎄 Day 14

Two weeks in, and today we're talking about something that affects everything—testosterone.

We're joined by Dr. Jonathan Andrews, who breaks down what testosterone actually does, why even young men can have low levels, and the symptoms you might be missing, brain fog, fatigue, mood changes. If you've been told it's "just getting older," this episode could be the wake-up call you need.

Taking control of your health is a big theme for us. That's why we're running our 24-day exercise challenge. The details are in the show notes.

💬 What to Expect in This Episode

•What testosterone actually does and why it's the primary male sex hormone

•The age factor and why levels decline by 1-2% per year from your mid-thirties

•Why young men can have low testosterone due to lifestyle, stress, and other factors

•The symptoms you might be missing: brain fog, fatigue, low libido, and mood changes
