In this episode of Table Talk, we sit down with @imdavelee Dave Lee, a health coach specializing in neuroendocrinology, to dive deep into the connection between hormones, mental health, and personal transformation. We tackle the misconceptions around SSRIs, the dopamine-serotonin balance, and how environmental factors may be silently sabotaging men's health. This conversation isn't just about testosterone—it's about reclaiming control, building resilience, and understanding the architecture of our brains. Whether you're battling mental health challenges or looking to optimize your performance, this episode cuts through the noise and gets real about what it takes to thrive.

0:00.0	It's time to sit down, keep it real, and cut the bullshit.
0:09.4	Welcome to Table Talk.
0:11.3	All right, guys.
0:11.8	We're back with another episode of Table Talk.
0:13.6	Today, our guest is Dave Lee.
0:16.3	I have here, author, speaker, health coach focusing on neuroendocrinology, right?
0:23.1	Basically just TRT.
0:24.8	And Tom, again, to be able to help with the assist because when we start talking about topics like this,
0:30.2	I can kind of go to where the grass is, we can't get down into the weeds on a lot of these things,
0:36.8	where I want to jump off would be,

It was something that I didn't ever think I would be in this field. I did my undergrad in digital marketing. I was a touring musician for a while. And I had a brain injury when I was about 25. And it left me with debilitating vertigo. It was quite a severe
1:29.8	case of vestibular neuritis. It wasn't diagnosed for well over a year. And for those who want to wear,
1:35.6	basically, it felt like we'd spun around on these office chairs 50 times for years straight. And
1:40.8	long story short, condensing three years of suffering into a three-minute story, I went back to university to learn how to heal the brain.
1:50.0	I was interested in how to heal a nerve because every doctor told me you're never going to walk properly again.
