The Scalpel's Edge
Ep. 16 - Reset the Clock Not the Hormones
On this episode of The Scalpel’s Edge, I’m diving into a fascinating new study that compares GLP-1 drugs like tirzepatide to traditional testosterone replacement therapy in men with obesity and low testosterone function. The results? Pretty eye-opening.
We’ll break down how these medications - originally developed for weight loss and diabetes - are now showing promise in naturally improving testosterone levels by reactivating your body’s own hormone pathways, rather than just patching things up from the outside.
I’ll walk you through the study design, the results, what it means for men navigating low energy, dad bods, and erectile dysfunction, and why I believe this approach might be the future of functional hormone health.
Plus, I’ll share my personal journey using tirzepatide, how it’s impacted my own wellness and performance, and why this shift toward holistic optimization continues to be at the heart of my practice.
This one’s especially for the guys who want to feel like themselves again—strong, energized, and dialed in - without short-circuiting the body’s natural systems.
