Description

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine, and an expert in hormone optimization. We discuss science-based tools for optimizing male hormones across the lifespan, including the role of bloodwork, nutrition, and exercise in supporting healthy hormone levels. We also discuss testosterone therapy, hair loss, prostate health, and supplements such as creatine, L-carnitine, Tongkat Ali, and Fadogia agrestis.

I am such an incredible fan of these recaps of past episodes. Sometimes, when I listen to the podcast for the first time, it is hard to pick out actionable protocols or even to ingest everything. On the other hand, I also enjoy the long-form discussions, human conversations, rabbit holes, and side quests that a true in-depth conversation meanders through. Whenever I listen to lectures on hormones, I have noticed that there is never a discussion about how to find a solution for the wide-ranging areas that are “normal.” One person can vary widely depending on the time of day, the time of month, and situations that can temporarily disrupt hormone levels. Even the equipment used in labs can change the results, not to mention how well educated the person reading them is. Should it be a conversation that before anything happens or we decide what is appropriate for hormonal treatment, we first create some standard? Thank you again for your consideration- truly yours.

Dr. Kyle Gillett always brings such a practical, science-based approach to hormone health. Breaking down how bloodwork, nutrition, and exercise all interplay across different life stages makes optimization feel actionable rather than overwhelming. Incredible episode!
