In this episode, Dr. Jesse Mills, Director of the UCLA Men’s Clinic, joins Mike Haney to explain what’s driving that shift and what today’s data-driven approach to men’s health looks like.

He breaks down the testosterone “revolution,” what’s really happening in low-T diagnoses, and how lifestyle, sleep, and stress management can influence hormones as much as prescriptions can.

They discuss:

- How men’s health became its own medical discipline

- What testosterone really does—and how to know if it’s low

- Primary vs. secondary hypogonadism and how to tell the difference

- When testosterone replacement is appropriate (and when it’s not)

- Why younger men are now embracing prevention and optimization
