Why it's so Hard to Find a Good HRT Doc from huntershealthhacks@mail.beehiiv.com on 2026-02-02T23:06:31.000Z The best estimates we have state that somewhere between 1%–1.2% of the general population are severe psychopaths. Unfortunately, the health and wellness industry attracts some of these psychopaths. When these psychopats enter the cash-pay wellness sector, it can be even more problematic because there is little regulation and oversight around best practices. Some doctors who lose their med

Why it's so Hard to Find a Good HRT Doc from huntershealthhacks@mail.beehiiv.com on 2026-02-02T23:06:31.000Z Happy Monday! By far the most common question that I get from my audience is: “"How do I find a good TRT/HRT provider?"“ — Unfortunately, finding a good provider who knows what they are doing, won't hurt you, and won't rip you off is an extremely difficult and seemingly impossible task. Today’s email is the first in a two-part series that takes a closer look at why it's so hard to find a

I would venture to say that almost 80% of the general public that is working with an HRT or GLP-1 provider is “getting quacked.” Based on my experience speaking with thousands of patients and hundreds of providers (both good and bad), I think there are a few categories of "quacks" in the market.

Because brain tissue takes longer to remodel than energy metabolism does. Testosterone supports hippocampal neurogenesis and BDNF expression, but growing new neurons is not a 30-day process.
