Today’s conversation dives deep into hormone health and the myths surrounding testosterone therapy, featuring Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, and guided by host Chris Duffin with contributions from Anthony, our co-host.

We’ll explore the stigmas and misconceptions attached to testosterone treatments, the groundbreaking launch of Kaisertrex (an FDA-approved oral testosterone capsule), and why hormone diagnostics matter for both men and women. Shalin Shah shares his journey as a passionate advocate for gender equity in hormone care and discusses how lifestyle, environmental factors, and stress impact hormone levels—especially as more young people experience low testosterone.
