NWP Ep. 20 | Men's Hormone Therapy

The hormones that help give us that drive and zest for life begin to dip as we age. This is true for men and women, but we don't have to settle or feel like we're not quite ourselves. This week we're taking a look at the hormone responsible for men's mood, bone density, body hair, energy, and of course libido and we're asking an expert on when it's appropriate for men to think about testosterone therapy.

Meet Josh Porter, PA-C:
