#58 Testosterone in Women: The Hormone No One Told You About
Most people think of testosterone as a male hormone, but women make it every day of their lives, and for many it may be the most important hormone no one ever talked to them about. In this solo episode of Coffee with Doc, Dr. John Pierce breaks down what he took away from a large FDA panel on testosterone for women, and why he believes every woman deserves accurate, evidence-based information about her options. Dr. Pierce explains why testosterone levels in women run roughly 10 to 20 times higher than estradiol (and the unit conversion that makes it look otherwise), how levels fall at menopause, and why symptoms like low desire, fatigue, and a reduced sense of well-being can have many causes. He covers what the research says about HSDD, why testing in the morning matters, and how emerging studies are changing the conversation about breast health, while being clear that testosterone is not a proven breast cancer prevention therapy. He also takes on five common myths, reviews possible side effects and the dose thresholds he follows in his own practice, and explains why testosterone therapy for women is still so controversial. This episode is for educational purposes only and is not personal medical advice. Some uses discussed are off label. Talk with a qualified healthcare provider who knows your history before making any treatment decisions.

#57 Part II | Nick Best Won Masters World's Strongest Man at 48
He won the first-ever Masters World's Strongest Man at 48 — and the title came down to a stone his rival couldn't hold onto. Now, after two hip replacements, an infection, a torn lat, a kidney removed, and a car wreck, strongman Nick Best is planning his comeback. In Part 2 of this Coffee with Doc conversation, Dr. Pierce sits down with Nick for an honest look at what it takes to stay in the game and keep your health intact. Nick walks through the dramatic finish in England, the run of setbacks that followed, and the rehab that's getting him back toward a powerlifting meet. Dr. Pierce digs into why a recent heart workup surprised Nick's own doctor, shares his theory on why so many strength athletes develop thickened hearts, and explains why creatinine and eGFR can make a healthy athlete look like he has a kidney problem, and why cystatin C can clear up the picture. Plus: lessons from Ed Coan and Kirk Karwoski, coaching tips for the yoke, the deadlift ladder, and Conan's Wheel, and a fix for blacking out while pressing. This episode is educational and is not personal medical advice. Talk with your own physician before making decisions about supplements or your labs.

#57 Strongman Legend Nick Best: "My Testosterone Was 135" | Coffee With Doc Pt 1
Episode 57, Part 1: Nick Best — Strongman Legend on Strength, Longevity & Smart Health
Dr. John J. Pierce welcomes longtime friend and Las Vegas strength icon Nick Best. Nick is an elite powerlifter, World's Strongest Man finalist, and star of The Strongest Man in History. In Part 1, Nick traces his path from drug-tested powerlifting titles to a late-start strongman career that included a farmer's walk world record and the first 800 lb deadlift by an amateur strongman.
Along the way, Doc and Nick talk about the health side of elite strength: why untreated sleep apnea was likely a hidden danger for big athletes of the past, how a CPAP and regular bloodwork changed Nick's career, and why keeping hormones at physiologic levels under medical supervision supports recovery, muscle, and bone density as we age.
Key takeaways:
- Nick started strongman at 37 and set records within his first two years
- Untreated sleep apnea was a serious, often overlooked risk for large strength athletes
- Nick's natural testosterone once tested at just 135 despite his muscle mass
- Physician-guided hormone care with regular labs aims for physiologic levels, not excess
- Technique can matter as much as raw strength (his farmer's walk start, his grip, and Lamaze-style breathing under heavy carries)
- Modern equipment such as whippy deadlift bars has changed how lifts compare across eras
This episode is educational and not medical advice. Talk with your physician before starting any hormone therapy.
