Now, here's Dr. Jason Amick and Dr. C.J. Pabla. 1 0:16 Welcome back to Foundations and Functions. This is gonna be your quick tip of the week. We wanna do a quick overview of testosterone therapy and just things to think about if you are either on a testosterone replacement therapy or if you're considering testosterone replacement therapy. So, Dr. Pabla, what's something, let's talk about testing and knowing what to look for 1 0:39 or what to think about with testing with testosterone. 3 0:41 Dr. Pabla Pabla So, testosterone comes in many forms that guys can take. There's the shot, there is the cream, there is implants, and then there's also ways to internally boost it via using a mechanism called GnRH agonists. But anyway, during the shot, when you test testosterone, you want to check free and total testosterone, it's important to know when to draw your labs based on the shot, okay? 3 1:13 If you want to do what is called a peak level, when you do a testosterone shot, that usually peaks about 24 to 48 hours after. And so if you drew your labs then, you're going to get the highest value you probably will have, okay? And typically testosterone is injected every seven days. So your trough level is going to be essentially right before you inject again on day seven, right? 1 1:36 Darrell Bock And that's going to be your lowest level. 3 1:37 Dr. Peter Marks That's going to be your lowest level. So it's important to talk to your provider when they say, get your labs done, you need to, you know, kind of verify, because a lot of times that gets missed, is like, should I get a peak level or should I get a trough level? That's really important, because the peak level could get so high that maybe you could get some complications. If the trough level is too low, then you're going to become symptomatic again. So that's the kind of the quick and dirty. There's so much more to talk about testosterone and some of the internal ways we actually use in our office to help boost it. 3 2:11 We can get into that in another podcast. So yeah, that's the quick tip of the day for the testosterone. 1 2:18 Darrell Bock Sounds great. Thanks so much, everybody. We'll see you again on Foundations in Function. Hello and welcome back to Foundations in Functions. I wanted to jump on here and talk about sleep and sleep health. And frankly, really, I just wanted to fuss for a minute. 1 2:34 So give me a minute to hear me fuss. And here's the number one thing that I think you should know about sleep health. First and foremost, snoring is not normal. Snoring is not normal. I'm going to say that one more time in case you're driving and you got distracted by the yellow light that you just blew through. Snoring is not normal. It is absolutely an indication of some form of airway obstruction. So, again, we can do a whole other podcast about what is obstructive sleep apnea versus 1 3:07 central sleep apnea and what all those big terms mean and how that works. But if you suffer from fatigue, headaches, brain fog, hypertension, if you have cardiovascular disease history for yourself or your family, If you're unable to lose weight despite changing your diet, working out, any of ...
