Welcome to Huberman Lab Essentials. Where we revisit past episodes. For the most potent and actionable science based tools. for mental health, physical health, and performance. I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

And now for my discussion. with Doctor Kyle Gillette. Dr. Gillette, great to have you back. Great to be back. Thank you. I'd like to begin with a question about

What all males ought to do in order to optimize their hormones. What should they be doing? What should they avoid doing if the goal is to have a long arc of healthy hormone optimization throughout the lifespan. There's many things that you should do. An analogy that I often make is when there's a brand new car that comes off the assembly line, you do a full scope of diagnostic workup, hook it up to the computer.
