36 – Testosterone Replacement Therapy - The Integrative Health Perspective

In this episode of Mindful Objective, we take a deep dive into Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) through the lens of integrative health. TRT is more popular than ever—but is it always the answer? We unpack why low testosterone doesn’t automatically mean you need injections or gels, and what often gets overlooked in the rush to “fix” hormone levels.

We’ll explore what causes testosterone to drop in the first place—from nutrient deficiencies and chronic stress to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and environmental toxins. You’ll learn what to ask before starting TRT, what labs to run, and how to build a solid foundation for hormone health.

We also break down:

Supplements that naturally support testosterone production

Why some people thrive on TRT while others don’t

How to manage potential side effects like elevated hematocrit

What nutrient strategies help keep your body balanced during therapy

And how fixing gut, liver, and sleep health may improve hormone levels without prescriptions

Plus, we discuss a common TRT concern—hematocrit levels—and offer non-pharmaceutical strategies to support healthy blood viscosity and circulation.

Whether you’re considering TRT, already on it, or just want to optimize your hormones naturally, this episode gives you real-world tools to feel your best—backed by root-cause thinking, functional lab testing, and smart supplementation.
