0:00.0	All right, my friend, welcome to The Man Talk Show. How are you doing? Oh, good. Great to be with you here. Thanks for the invitation.
0:09.1	Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, I have admittedly, I don't say this very often. I don't think. Maybe my listeners will probably tell me this, but I'm a big fan of yours. I've been watching a bunch of your content. I stumbled across it on
0:22.6	on Instagram and really loved the things that you were talking about. I felt like it was very,
0:28.4	very appropriate for the time that we are in and some of the things that are going on. So I'm
0:34.4	excited to have our conversation and to dive in today.
0:47.4	So with all that said, we will begin where I always begin these conversations, which is tell us a story about a defining moment in your life that made you who you are today.

1:46.0	information on it. And I realized, wow, this shifts, this kind of shifts my whole practice. And in fact,
1:52.1	the social media following, when we look at it, sure enough, it's those younger guys
1:57.5	that are the biggest percentage in the demographic. So I realized, we have a,
2:03.0	we have a whole new issue, a whole new challenge on our hands here when we talk about hormones.
2:07.9	So I think that, that was a big shift for me. Yeah, it's interesting, right? It's like one of those
2:12.5	things where the people that we think need our help and the people that actually need our
