Empowering Men: Unveiling the Latest Testosterone Treatment Innovations
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness and acknowledgment of the importance of testosterone in men’s health. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including muscle mass, bone density, libido, and overall well-being. However, as men age, their testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to a range of symptoms that can impact their quality of life. Fortunately, there have been significant advancements in testosterone treatment innovations that are empowering men to reclaim their vitality and energy.Understanding Testosterone Cream
Testosterone cream is a topical treatment that is applied directly to the skin, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. This allows the hormone to be delivered directly into the body, bypassing the digestive system and liver. Testosterone cream is typically applied to areas with thin skin, such as the inner arms, thighs, or abdomen, where it can be easily absorbed.One of the key benefits of testosterone cream is its convenience and ease of use. Unlike injectable testosterone, which requires regular injections, testosterone cream can be applied at home without the need for needles or medical supervision. This makes it a more accessible option for men who prefer a discreet and convenient method of hormone replacement therapy.The Benefits of Testosterone Cream
Testosterone cream offers a range of benefits for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, also known as Low T. Some of the advantages of testosterone cream include:- Increased Energy and Vitality: Testosterone is critical in energy levels and overall vitality. By replenishing testosterone levels with cream therapy, men can experience a boost in their energy levels, helping them to feel more alert and focused throughout the day.
- Improved Libido and Sexual Function: Testosterone is integral to sexual health and libido in men. Low testosterone levels can lead to a decrease in sexual desire and performance. Testosterone cream can help to enhance libido and improve sexual function, allowing men to enjoy a more fulfilling intimate life.
- Enhanced Muscle Mass and Strength: Testosterone is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. Men with low testosterone may experience muscle loss and weakness. Testosterone cream can help to promote muscle growth and strength, supporting a more robust and active lifestyle.
- Better Mood and Mental Clarity: Testosterone regulates mood and cognitive function. Low testosterone levels can contribute to depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Testosterone cream therapy can help improve mood, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
- Protection Against Bone Loss: Testosterone plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density and strength. Low testosterone levels can increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Testosterone cream can support bone health and reduce the risk of bone loss in men.
The Rise of Testosterone Treatment Innovations
In recent years, there has been a surge in testosterone treatment innovations aimed at providing men with more personalized and effective hormone replacement therapy options. These innovations are revolutionizing the field of men’s health by offering tailored solutions to address the unique needs of each individual.One of the most exciting developments in testosterone treatment is the use of compounded testosterone creams. Compounded creams are custom-made by compounding pharmacies to meet the specific requirements of each patient. This allows for a more personalized approach to hormone replacement therapy, with the ability to adjust the dosage, ingredients, and formulation according to individual needs.Compounded testosterone creams offer several advantages over conventional testosterone treatments, including:- Customized Formulation: Compounded creams can be tailored to suit each patient’s unique hormonal profile and health goals. This personalized approach ensures that men receive the precise dosage and formulation that best meets their needs.
- Enhanced Absorption: Compounded creams are formulated with ingredients that optimize absorption through the skin, ensuring that the testosterone is effectively delivered into the bloodstream. This results in improved bioavailability and efficacy compared to other forms of testosterone therapy.
- Reduced Side Effects: Compounded testosterone creams can be formulated without certain additives and preservatives that may cause adverse reactions in some individuals. This reduces the risk of side effects and enhances the safety and tolerability of the treatment.
- Convenience and Ease of Use: Compounded testosterone creams are applied topically, making them a convenient and non-invasive option for hormone replacement therapy. Men can easily incorporate the cream into their daily routine without the need for frequent visits to healthcare providers.

Low and High hematocrit increase cardiovascular risk for Testosterone patients
Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in the blood. High hematocrit levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, while low hematocrit levels can lead to anemia and other health problems. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can affect hematocrit levels in some men. In this blog, we will explore how low and high hematocrit increase cardiovascular risk and how TRT can impact hematocrit levels.High Hematocrit increase Cardiovascular Risk
High hematocrit levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in men. The excess red blood cells in the blood can cause the blood to become thicker and more viscous, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood throughout the body. This can lead to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.Some of the factors that can contribute to high hematocrit levels include:- Dehydration: Dehydration can cause hematocrit levels to increase.
- Smoking: Smoking can increase hematocrit levels.
- Altitude: Living at high altitudes can cause hematocrit levels to increase as the body tries to adapt to lower oxygen levels.
- Genetic conditions: Some genetic conditions, such as polycythemia vera, can cause hematocrit levels to increase.
Low Hematocrit and Anemia
Low hematocrit levels can lead to anemia, a condition where there are not enough red blood cells in the blood. Anemia can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. It can also increase the risk of complications during surgery and childbirth.Some of the factors that can contribute to low hematocrit levels include:- Iron deficiency: Iron is essential for the production of red blood cells, and a deficiency can lead to anemia.
- Vitamin deficiency: Vitamins such as B12 and folate are also essential for red blood cell production.
- Chronic kidney disease: Chronic kidney disease can lead to a decrease in the production of red blood cells.
- Chronic diseases: Chronic diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS can lead to anemia.
TRT and Hematocrit Levels
TRT can impact hematocrit levels in some men. Testosterone stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow, which can lead to an increase in hematocrit levels. However, not all men will experience an increase in hematocrit levels with TRT, and some may even experience a decrease.It is important for men receiving TRT to have their hematocrit levels monitored regularly to ensure that they are not at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. If hematocrit levels become too high, TRT may need to be adjusted or discontinued to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.Lance Armstrong and elite cyclists using EPO to increase Hematocrit
Lance and other elite cyclists allegedly used EPO to increase their hematocrit levels to increase oxygen carried around their body and improve endurance and recovery. These cyclists also have incredibly developed hearts that could operate efficiently at higher Hct levels. Cyclists risks are different than men in their 40s and 50s trying to get back into shape and experiencing TRT related higher HCT and thicker blood.How TRT patients and clinicians can monitor and manage Hematocrit levels
We generally feel that <51 Hct levels is a green light, 51-54 is a yellow light and 54+ a red light. Not only are the levels important but if the levels are increasing and at what rate. If hematocrit levels are raising or elevated the best ways to manage them are:- Increase hydration and water consumption. We recommend never going into a test hydrated as the tests may result in a false positive and require actions to return to safer levels.
- Grapefruit and grapefruit seed extract help lower hematocrit.
- Donate blood. Donating a pint of blood can lower Hct 1-3% points. A double red blood cell or ‘Power Red’ donation can lower it further.
- Therapeutic phlebotomies are also donating blood. Many advanced blood centers have machines that strap your arm and run blood through it strip out red blood cells to a specific target Hct level around 42-43%. Blood donations can only happen so frequently and the therapeutics phlebotomy can reduce them dramatically.
Conclusion
Hematocrit levels can impact cardiovascular risk and overall health. High hematocrit levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, while low hematocrit levels can lead to anemia and other health problems. TRT can impact hematocrit levels in some men, and it is important for men receiving TRT to have their hematocrit levels monitored regularly to ensure that they are not at an increased risk for negative cardiovascular events. By understanding the relationship between hematocrit and cardiovascular risk, men can make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing and improved conversations with their care team.Low and High hematocrit increase cardiovascular risk for Testosterone patients

Post Election: What’s next for the Affordable Care Act?
The United States healthcare system has reached a pivotal moment following President Obama staking much of his first term on passing the Affordable Care Act and President-elect Trump running on a campaign promising to “Repeal and Replace” it on his first day in office.
Barrack Obama and Donald Trump discussing the Affordable Care Act and future of Obamacare
This article was published in the Dallas Morning News on 11/14/16 and meant to be a bipartisan analysis of the options: http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2016/11/14/post-election-next-obamacare
Obamacare lingered in the background as a campaign issue until late October, when the 2017 insurance premiums were released with double-digit premium increases. Healthcare then became a top campaign issue as Trump doubled down on his position to repeal.
Following his White House meeting with President Obama, President-elect Trump now shows a willingness to compromise and leave intact ACA components, including two key provisions. Specifically, allowing parents to keep children on their policies until age 26 and not allowing refusal of coverage by insurers for pre-existing conditions.
I just returned from the Harvard Business School Alumni/YPO Presidents annual healthcare conference and a primary conversation topic was: What will happen next?
Here are some of the political details covering President Trump’s options and their likelihoods:
Is Replace and Repeal Possible?
Repealing the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, would require 60 senate votes. After losing two, there are only 52 Republican senators, so a repeal would require a significant degree of bipartisan support. There is also a Reconciliation Fast-Track process allowing amendments to specific parts that impact the budget. This process only requires a majority vote, which the Republicans have.
Donald Trump has always stated he was in favor of universal insurance coverage while House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Republicans have been for privatizing Medicare and supports open insurance markets, and he’s against Medicare/Medicaid expansion.
The general consensus was that the GOP Replacement Plan would most likely include the following key planks:
· Expansion of Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
· Elimination of the individual mandate penalizing non-coverage
· Open insurance purchasing across state lines
· Amend the guarantee of coverage for pre-existing issues to continuous coverage
· Create lower catastrophic premium options
· State flexibility to shape insurance markets
· State Medicaid reform
· Standard tax credit with flexibility to use across commercial market
· Limit Medicare growth through per capita caps
· Strengthen Medicare Advantage
· Repeal IPAB (Independent Payment Advisory Board)
· Possibly repeal CMMI (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation) that drives innovative payment and quality models like Accountable Care Organizations
· Continue promoting value based Medicare FFS migration through MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act )
More power will return to the states with support from 33 GOP Governors. One important difference in the news this week was on the guarantee for pre-existing coverage. Many Republicans support replacing it with a guarantee for continuous coverage for pre-existing issues. Their rationale is this new guarantee will keep people from gaming the system by not paying premiums until he or she has an issue.
The financial markets saw sharp increases in pharmaceutical stocks this week that had been troubled during the election. Hillary Clinton proposed measures to control pharmaceutical costs, including fines on drug manufacturers imposing unjustified price hikes and capping drug prices. Trump’s election website announced two initiatives to “Advance research and development in healthcare,” and more pointedly, “Reform the Food and Drug Administration, to put greater focus on the need of patients for new and innovative medical products.” This is being seen as a very positive sign for Biotech companies.
Hospital Operators, including HCA and Tenet, saw stock declines last week because of fears that a repeal would leave them caring for more uninsured patients after benefiting from the 20 million new insured members from the ACA. Publicly held managed care groups like Centene and Molina Health also saw losses due to anticipation for scaling back Medicaid coverage.
At Hormone Therapeutics, we have built a national telemedicine platform providing access to physicians specializing in many of the chronic care conditions associated with aging previously unavailable in most areas of the country. We hope that President-elect Trump supports the recent advances in digital health providing increased access, improved care and lower costs by keeping patients out of hospitals that do not need to be there.
Affordable Care Act voter frustration centered on premium increases that occurred again right before the election. The price increases were due to actuarial issues from an increase of older, unhealthy members without enough young, healthy ones signing up. While this reflects very significant problems in the insurance marketplace, the entire ACA was presented as a failed platform because of this. Throwing 20 million newly insured off of their health plans would be political suicide in the next election for Republican Senators and Governors. No one has a real health reform plan that expands coverage while lowering costs.
What’s Next for the Affordable Care Act?
The biggest questions start with understanding what battles soon-to-be President Trump chooses, and whether he’ll agree to reach across the aisle and work with fellow deal maker Minority Leader Charles Schumer. Will he keep his campaign promise to try and repeal and replace it with something terrific or seek to amend certain parts? Does he intend to undo all of the monumental work that went into providing coverage to 20M additional uninsured and creating the Baylor Scott & White Affordable Care Organization and others just like it across the country? Does he want to remove the pre-existing guarantee, individual mandate and subsidies to go back to 2008?
Hopefully, everyone can work together to continue to improve the progress being made to make America’s healthcare system great by working to improve the quality of care, expand coverage, reduce readmissions, align the providers, insurers and patients all while reducing costs. This is an extremely complex undertaking and can only be accomplished collaboratively and over time.
Hunter Howard, President of Hormone Therapeutics, spent the past week at the Harvard Business School Alumni/YPO Presidents annual Healthcare conference discussing these issues with healthcare business leaders from around the globe. He has founded and led three Health/IT Companies: Hormone Therapeutics, MediGain and Ocracoke Health Consultants

11 Testosterone Boosting Habits to Increase Testosterone and Live Longer
It’s been well-established that testosterone has many benefits, and in order to enhance the production of T, here are concrete testosterone boosting habits you can take today. Reap those rewards from optimized testosterone level right now.
As you’ve seen, there are all sorts of ways to boost your testosterone levels over time. Supplements and dietary changes and exercises and a multitude of other healthy things to do. It can be a little overwhelming, though, so here’s a hit-list, with science to back them up.
Start these eight things right now, and your body and mind will thank you, profusely.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #1: Eat!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #1: Eat!There are loads of things you can eat to improve your health and testosterone levels, but one of the most efficient is dark chocolate. That’s good quality, low sugar, very dark chocolate, not something you picked up at the gas station. And not too much!
A Harvard University study showed that eating a regular-sized bar of dark chocolate about three times per month will do wonders for your blood. Chocolate is full of flavonoids which can reduce harmful clots and thin the blood, which is great for your blood pressure.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #2: Love!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #2: Love!In the physical sense. Have sex! Grab your significant other and have a great time! The University of California proved what we already knew. Orgasms reduce stress. Stress is bad for you.
The study actually showed that having sex regularly will extend your life by two years or more, and they’ll be pretty sweet years. Sexual desire and testosterone go hand-in-hand, and increasing one will increase the other. It works both ways, and of course it’s fun!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #3: Go Nuts!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #3: Go Nuts!Nuts are full of healthy fats, and snacking on them in moderation will boost your testosterone, heart health, and all sorts of other things. Monounsaturated fats such as those found in nuts make your heart safer by lowering your cholesterol.
A project undertaken at Loma Linda University in California concluded that we should eat nuts five days a week in order to extend our lives by about three years. Moderation is essential, of course, since nuts are extremely calorie-dense. Just a handful will do.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #4: Drink! (Some)
Testosterone Boosting Habits #4: Drink! (Some)Studies performed by Dutch researchers have shown that wine in moderation is very, very healthy. The science tends to go back and forth on this, but red wine especially is rich in antioxidants, resveratrol and polyphenolic compounds. Antioxidants are just super for reducing the effects of age, and the polyphenolic compounds prevent fatty tissues from blocking your arteries.
If you’re not quite sure which wine to drink, Cabernet Sauvignon is richest in antioxidants. Stick to red wine for the health benefits, and don’t have too much. The Dutch study says a half a glass of wine a day is enough. Drinking more than that is more for your mind than your body, and binging on a whole bottle is never a good idea.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #5: Play!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #5: Play!Sports are good for you. Walking, running, and jumping are great exercise, and the competitiveness is an excellent testosterone booster. As the saying goes, the best exercise is one you’ll actually do, and making it fun by playing around with your friends (or defeating your bitter enemies) is something you’ll be glad to stick with.
A Swedish research study found that regular golfers live up to five years longer on average. The game is surprisingly competitive, and players walk several miles during an 18-hole round. It’s good for your heart, for your muscles, and for your mind.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #6: Eat Some More!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #6: Eat Some More!A diet filled with fish, olive oil and garlic can help your blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifespan. It’s what’s commonly referred to as the Mediterranean diet, and the science shows it works. It was another Dutch research program that proved it, and they’re not even Italian! They’ve got no horse in this race!
These foods are all rich in aminos, healthy fats, and cholesterol-busting components that will keep your ticker ticking. And they’re delicious! So throw that fish in a pan and pile on the garlic, it’s all good for you.
There are plenty of other foods that will help your testosterone levels and general health, of course. Refer to our other articles for the full list of testosterone-boosting and healthy foods.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #7: Lose!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #7: Lose!Yes, lose weight, it’s another reason to drop those extra pounds.
What’s more, a study at Oxford University found that a BMI of over 30 at the age of 40 can reduce your life expectancy by as much as seven years. So hit the gym and cut the calories! It’s worth it.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #8: Win!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #8: Win!Testosterone production starts in the brain, in a very literal sense. High emotions and a competitive spirit can trigger a testosterone and adrenaline boost as your body works to support your success.
So indulge the urge! Play to win in everything you do. Sports are one way, as is striving for success in the workplace and in your hobbies. Even just watching sports and rooting for your favorite team can cause increased testosterone levels. The more excited you get about it, the better for your testosterone. So feel free to bust out the face paint and even that giant foam finger!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #9: Sleep!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #9: Sleep!Get your solid eight hours. You need it. Even minor sleep deprivation causes a cascade of health problems that include a tendency to binge eat and a lowered metabolism. Your sex drive will go down, too, and of course your general energy level and mental focus.
All of that leads to lowered testosterone production, and the numbers are shocking. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study showing that men who sleep less than 5 hours per night quickly sure a 15% drop in testosterone. The normal drop that occurs with age is 1% per year, so this is a big problem.
Bottom line: Prioritize sleep. Make the time!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #10: Laugh!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #10: Laugh!It really is the best medicine! Your mental state affects your entire body, and multiple studies have shown that stress is bad in more ways than we ever imagined.
So laugh! Have a good time! Studies performed in the US and elsewhere conclude that laughing for about 15 minutes per day can increase your lifespan by as much as eight years. It’ll make you a happier person, and it’s becoming more and more clear that a happier person is a healthier person.
So there are ten things you can start doing today to improve your health, your mood, and your testosterone levels. Those three things go hand-in-hand for men, and you’ll find that good healthy practices just make life better.
We strongly recommend going to the doctor for your annual physical, and be sure to have your testosterone levels checked. But there’s so much you can do at home to help make sure those lab results are full of good news.
Testosterone Boosting Habits #11: Contact Hormone Therapeutics!
Testosterone Boosting Habits #11: Contact Hormone Therapeutics!Most of us have tried to eat better, work out and live naturally.

Testosterone Clinical Trial Proves Increased Energy and Sex Drive
Researchers at the University of Western Ontario published the results of the testosterone clinical trial showing Testosterone increases sex drive and energy without adverse side effects. The positive results lasted the entire period of this nine month, double blind trial including the three month double blind placebo period.
The testosterone clinical trials showed no plateauing of sex drive or energy at any point in the program for the 558 men in the program.
Researchers Drs Loughlin and Klap wrote that, “interest in testosterone-replacement therapy continues to intensify” — shown by the 3x increase in testosterone prescriptions from 2001 to 2011 among men in the US aged 40 years or older and expected growth from $2B to $5B from 2014 to 2017. Patient demand and patient results is what is driving all of this interest.
FDA and EU Guidelines
The US FDA says testosterone shouldn’t be used in men who don’t have hypogonadism. The FDA states this because the benefit/risk profile for use hasn’t been established, including cardiovascular risks, which remain unknown. However, the EU medicines agency took a very difference position concluding there is “no consistent evidence” for increased heart risk when taking testosterone treatments. Dr. Block stated his conclusions from the research are that “there was absolutely no evidence of any concerning end point in this study — no cardiovascular signal whatsoever”.
Testosterone Clinical Trial
There were 558 testosterone clinical trial participants who averaged 55 years of age. In the open-label extension phase during the last six months of the trial, 275 had previously received placebo and 283 had been treated with testosterone. They patients were collected from a large number of different racially constructed countries, including from ones in North and South America, Europe, and South Korea.
At the conclusion of the testosterone clinical trial, 60% of the group that started on a placebo and 66% of the group starting initially on Testosterone Replacement Therapy had normal testosterone levels.
Increased HED and SAID Scores
Testosterone clinical trial participants completed two Qualitative surveys: the SAID (Sexual Arousal, Interest and Drive) and HED (Hypogonadism Energy Diary) surveys.
Testosterone also improved HED scores from beginning to end: the formerly placebo group average improvement was 8.9 and for the continuing-active group was 5.1 (P < .001 for both groups).
The SAID and HED qualitative questionnaires help us to understand the improvement and clinical management of the participants.
“For the first time, we really have an understanding of what treatment with testosterone does to those men who become normalized in terms of their testosterone level,” Dr Brock commented.
Is It Low T?
Dr Brock believes many untrained PCPs have trouble diagnosing patients who report low energy or low sexual interest if its a thyroid problem, depression, or just old age. “In the past 10 years many of us have begun to recognize that it may be, in some of these men, a direct effect of having low testosterone,” he said.
Results and leanings from another placebo-controlled testosterone clinical trial, multicenter Testosterone Trial, indicates testosterone treatment in older men may help improve sexual function, mood, depressive symptoms, and possibly walking distance, but it doesn’t seem to improve vitality.

Athlete gets Testosterone Therapy Exemption from Anti-Doping Agency
The U.S. Anti Doping Agency has reversed a long standing position of never allowing Testosterone Therapy exemption for athletes. The agency is now allowing Masters Cyclist, Jeff Hammond to compete in races while under medically prescribed testosterone. His was the first Anti-doping exemption given for medical supplementation of previously banned ‘steroids’ like testosterone and more exemptions have followed.
Medically Prescribed Testosterone Therapy Exemption
This is a new USADA exemption, for masters and amateur athletes, who are prescribed drugs previously banned by competitors. The agency is terming this a “Recreational Competitor Therapeutic Use Exemption”, for amateur and masters to compete in low-level competitions. It pertains to specific substances that need a pre approval and a medical review of the medical need. The USADA issued a statement, “Out of fairness to those non-competitive athletes, we put in place a process that allows for them to compete while still requiring a fair and reasonable review of each recreational athlete’s medical situation,”
Testosterone’s illegal abuse for performance enhancement among Olympic athletes in the 80’s and 90’s before proper testing could better monitor and manage the situation. Because of the lack of understanding of testosterone’s need to treat hypogonadism and lack of ability to properly test athletes for abuse, the US Anti-Doping Agency, the US Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee were all forced to take a zero tolerance policy for testosterone use by athletes.
The most important thing is the continued medical acceptance of Hormone Replacement Therapy and Testosterone Therapy for appropriate medical reason. Abuse of testosterone by athletes in the past still holds a stigma today for the life changing, legitimate therapies helping so many people today. The US Ant-Doping Agencies abandonment of their hard core, zero tolerance policy shows how far we have come in such a short time to ensure that people with depleted endocrine systems can receive treatment as needed and not be shunned for taking care of their health.

Testosterone reduces Cardiovascular risks when maintained over 550ng/dl
This Swedish study tested the hypothesis that serum total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels predict cardiovascular events in elderly men. The study found that supplementing, and maintaining, testosterone reduces cardiovascular risks when the levels were maintained above 550ng/dl. This study also tested Estradiol levels, which was lacking from the previous studies. The study also found negative correlation between testosterone levels are type 2 diabetes risk. This Swedish study was compiled over 5 years and analyzed all kinds of markers, including SHBG.
The details of the study are included here:

Hormone Therapeutics puts Testosterone ‘Under the Hood’ of the #49 NASCAR Truck in Daytona
Hormone Therapeutics #49 truck, driven by Timmy Hill, survived a testosterone filled weekend in Daytona. The Daytona 500 had its closest finish in history, with Denny Hamlin beating Martin Truex by .010 seconds, or just four inches. The NASCAR Camping World Truck race was even more exciting with a nine vehicles final lap accident and Christopher Bell’s #4 flipping six times. Hormone Therapeutics truck got caught in the wash on the last lap, fish tailed into the wall, ending a sure top 5 finish dropping to 14th.
Driver Timmy Hills footage of Race Weekend in Daytona
Driver Timmy Hill says, “I knew I would have an outside chance to win this race so I tried to get all I could get when we took the green. As we made our way around the track and took the white flag I began to see the 2 lead trucks get together and start to spin. I maneuvered to the apron to miss the wreck but at the very last moment another truck drove into me from behind, spinning me into the wall to end our shot at a top 5 finish.”
Hormone Therapeutics President, Hunter Howard said, “What an exciting race and Timmy Hill put us right there where we wanted to be. We were in the top five, on the last lap of the race, with a chance to take the checkered flag. The team really put the testosterone under the hood of that truck and we were in position to win it before Bell’s unfortunate accident.” President, Hunter Howard also said, “Hormone Therapeutics is excited to help NASCAR fans put testosterone under their hoods and help them live healthier, happier and more energetic lives.”

Hormone Therapeutics President, Hunter Howard said, “NASCAR offers the perfect place to connect with men in their 40s and 50s who know they don’t feel right. In less than 100 years, the average life span grew from 48 to 78. The endocrine system has not kept up with this rapid advance and depleted hormones are causing issues like fatigue, irritability, weight gain, loss of interest in intimacy as well as increases in heart attack, stroke and prostate cancer. We are helping men across the country live happier, more energetic and healthier lives through our program.”
