About this episode
In this epsiode, Chris and Xand van Tulleken explore testosterone replacement therapy.
It’s been suggested to Xand that he needs some testosterone replacement therapy - but should he take it? Does testosterone really boost mood, sexual appetite and energy? When testosterone declines in men as they get older and when women go through the menopause, can increasing testosterone offer positive results?
Chris and Xand are joined by Dr Channa Jayasena, expert in reproductive endocrinology to find out.
