Most men treat ED as a bedroom problem and low testosterone as an inevitable part of aging. Both assumptions are wrong and both are costing men a decade of health. A 35-year-old with ED carries roughly a 15 percent risk of heart attack or stroke within 7 years, 3.5 times the risk of depression, and 30 percent odds of diabetes or prediabetes. ED is a check engine light, not a standalone condition. Testosterone is the single best blood marker of a man's overall health, and almost no man receives annual screening for it. The TRAVERSE trial led the FDA to remove testosterone's cardiovascular warning in 2025, dismantling the prostate cancer and heart attack fears that shaped clinical practice for years.
In this roundtable with Dr. Mohit Khera, Dr. Larry Lipshultz, and Dr. Tobias Kohler, we cover what declining testosterone is actually signaling, when therapy is the right intervention, and what every man should be doing monthly to catch testicular cancer when it is still 99 percent curable.
