Is always a gray zone and even among urologist is no clear answer.

Most research comes from Australia where they're trying to address this question he found that bit older men.

At this time of diagnosis -- prosecutor said they have heart a level of testosterone.

So this is observational study and may be.

There's a relationship between -- -- prosecutors have now.

Men that are gaining weight they have -- be doing to have both sexual function in a way to do anything they have no interest this immediate testosterone is though.

I tried to get doctors -- going chai who is the author of the study didn't get back to me but -- quoted another prostate expert on this I found doctor David -- And he basically thinks there's an important connection here is he just told you but but that it's not yet -- but here's the point.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That tells you something elegant natural -- -- -- through the -- and here's the here's that here's the bottom line when it comes to the interns office people are always saying in the I want testosterone.

I want to lose weight I want more energy I want my libido back.

He's -- really legitimate legitimate issues and I will send people like that -- urologists like doctor some money at the bottom line is as I said in the first segment.

Nothing's free and medicine.
