What if the standard approach to HRT dosing is setting your patients up for failure? Many clinicians make a critical mistake, assuming that replacing hormones is a simple one-to-one exchange. In episode 53 of the Nico Misleh Podcast, host Nico Misleh explains the essential principle that exogenous hormone replacement therapy does not act the same as the hormones our bodies produce naturally. This fundamental misunderstanding is why so many patients feel worse on testosterone replacement therapy and why "by-the-book" dosing often fails to resolve symptoms. Nico breaks down why higher doses are frequently needed, how TRT impacts other crucial hormones, and why a clinician's critical thinking is more valuable than just following lab values for achieving life-changing patient outcomes.
