This session is presented by Dr. Yousuf Siddiqui, Naturopathic Doctor.
More times than not, the majority of my male patients start seeing me because their spouse told them to. They tend to be cautious, slightly withdrawn, and most of them leave the intake form blank. Not too many guys want to discuss their health for a variety of reasons; they may feel ashamed, they may be anxious, or simply they do not know what ‘normal’ is.
As a man – I never told when to ask for help. I was never encouraged to get comprehensive assessments, nor was I told what makes a guy ‘healthy’. The focus was always on testosterone, sexuality, muscle mass, and performance. Don’t get me wrong, all of these factors are a result of a healthy body. What is often missed are the contributing imbalances that prevent the body functioning optimally.
Join me as I discuss the following topics:
- The function of each form of testosterone (Free, total, DHT…)
- Factors that slow down testosterone production in your body (Might surprise you)
- Factors that accelerate testosterone production
- Prostate: What the heck is the prostate and when do get it checked.
- Comprehensive Lab Tests and why you need to advocate for the right tests!
- Natural Medicines to boost you testosterone and when TRT is the next step.
Remember – Movember is not only about growing an awesome stache – it is a public health campaign to encourage men to look after themselves.
