## Resource

The highlight: Andrew Gasser joins Clay in studio for a high-T discussion on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's new policy mandating annual testosterone screenings for all U.S. military service members 30 and older. They break down the benefits for warfighters (and civilians), TRT's impact on energy, mindset, and performance, the decline in men's testosterone, and the need to bring back real physical fitness standards like the old Presidential Physical Fitness Test (phased out under Obama, now returning in MS).
