Testosterone is the hormone every man thinks they understand, but most get wrong. In this episode of Mark Bell’s Power Project Podcast, hosts Mark Bell and Nsima Inyang learn from hormone expert Dave Lee as he breaks down everything you need to know about TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). From the benefits and risks of TRT to natural ways to boost your testosterone, this episode dives deep into the facts that every man should hear.


Discover how testosterone affects mental health, stress resilience, and energy. Learn why more young men are experiencing hormonal decline and what you can do to fight back. Dave Lee also uncovers the truth about weight loss, supplements, and lifestyle habits that make or break your testosterone levels. Whether you’re considering TRT or just want to optimize your health naturally, this is the podcast episode you’ve been waiting for.
