Dave breaks down why the mainstream framing of testosterone and cancer risk has it backwards, what androgen deprivation therapy may be doing to every other cancer pathway simultaneously, and why your hormone panel is now a cancer conversation, not just a performance one.  Sources:   - https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-study-suggests-testosterone-suppresses-brain-tumor-growth-males    - https://bioengineer.org/nih-funded-research-indicates-testosterone-may-inhibit-brain-tumor-growth-in-males/     *CDC Halts Rabies Testing Nationwide   A CDC staffing crisis has pushed rabies, mpox, and Epstein-Barr testing to overwhelmed state labs, creating one-to-two week diagnostic delays in a disease where post-exposure prophylaxis must begin within ten days of a bite — and where fatality is virtually 100% once symptoms appear. Dave explains exactly what to do if you or a pet is exposed, why outdoor biohackers are the most exposed population, and what pre-travel prevention looks like for anyone heading to endemic regions.  Sources:   - https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/cdc-pauses-testing-rabies-monkeypox-epstein-barr-viruses-rcna266377    - https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/rabies/state-public-health-labs-step-cdc-pauses-testing-various-pathogens-including-rabies-mpox     *Mifepristone Mail Ban   The Supreme Court issued a one-week stay blocking a 5th Circuit ruling that would have ended teleh…","meta_description":"*Testosterone Directly Suppresses Brain Tumor Growth in Males by 38% Cleveland Clinic research funded by NIH shows testosterone binds androgen recep…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":656,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-human-upgrade-biohacking-for-longevity-performance-1031629/episodes/pandemic-fever-is-back-testosterone-and-brain-tumors-rabies-and-dog-flu-1463/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-human-upgrade-biohacking-for-longevity-performance-1031629/pandemic-fever-is-back-testosterone-and-brain-tumors-rabies-and-dog-flu-1463.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
