Tens of millions of people suffer from hormone imbalance. Yet, what is often lost in the discussion is that the condition impacts men and how a therapy involving compounded hormones can be a critical part of their wellness regimen.

Along with regular exercise, quality sleep, and a healthy diet, compounded—aka bio-identical—hormones can relieve a range of symptoms that negatively impact well-being. However, explains Dr. John Kim, the road to recovery for many men is not just dosing on testosterone, since a therapy involving too much of any one hormone can create problems of its own.

Instead, Dr. Kim on this episode of The DadBod Pod, explains that a therapy customized for each individual is the best approach in treating hormonal imbalances. Such treatment, he points out, is best managed by the patient or a doctor working with a compounding pharmacy.

These types of life-changing therapies are, though, under threat, because of a flawed study from the FDA. Dr. Kim and other healthcare providers urge every American to learn more about this critical issue. You can do so by visiting a4pc.org.
