🎙️ Episode 12 – Low T, Young Men, and the Hidden Face of Peyronie’s Disease

They said Peyronie’s disease was for older men. But what if they were wrong?

This episode uncovers the rising number of young men reporting dents, curves, hourglass deformities—and how undiagnosed low testosterone may be playing a hidden role. Many of these men are dismissed by doctors, told it’s “in their head,” or blamed on porn. But what if a testosterone deficiency is impairing their healing, making them biologically older than they are?

We explore how hormonal suppression, lifestyle stressors, and even SSRIs or SARMs might be silently setting the stage for irreversible damage. And why testosterone isn’t just about libido—it may be the signal that prevents plaque from forming in the first place.

This is a side of Peyronie’s you won’t hear about in a clinic.

Title: Gatekeeping

Description:
Why is it so hard for men to get help? Why does the healthcare system still dismiss men who ask for hormone testing or treatment? This episode of *Not Broken* dives into the systemic resistance men face when seeking testosterone therapy. From unhelpful primary care visits to outdated urology advice and dismissive endocrinologists, we walk through the walls men hit — and why many turn to telehealth as a last resort. This isn’t just about testosterone. It’s about the shame of being told you’re fine when you’re not. It’s about being gaslit by your own doctor. And it’s about finding another way forward.

EPISODE 10 — “They Said I Was Normal. I Wasn’t.”

When a man starts to slip—when the energy fades, the muscle melts, the edge disappears—he goes to the doctor. And too often, he gets the same answer: "You're fine… for your age."

This episode cuts through that lie.

We ask the real questions:
- Is TRT dangerous?
- What about heart attack or stroke?
- Does it actually help erectile dysfunction?
- Won’t it wreck your cholesterol?
- Am I too old for this?

Nick takes you through the medical gaslighting, the flawed labs, and the bureaucratic barriers that nearly stopped him from getting treatment. He talks openly about how he pushed through, how hard it was to access care, and what life is like now—at 64—with the body composition of a man in his 40s.

We also break down the results of the TRAVERSE study—the largest testosterone safety study ever conducted—and what it means for aging men.

This one is personal. If you’ve ever been dismissed by a doctor, doubted by a partner, or told to just accept the decline, you need to hear this.
