In this episode of Hey Charles, Charles Ernst breaks down why low testosterone is becoming a hidden health crisis and what men can do to fight back. Testosterone isn’t just about muscle and sex drive — it’s vital for weight loss, energy, mood, mental health, fertility, bone density, and long-term performance.

Charles shares the powerful difference testosterone made in his own family: his son lost 40 pounds in just six weeks with fasting and diet changes, while it took Charles a full year to drop 83 pounds.

He explains why natural solutions like strength training, sunlight (vitamin D), and eliminating processed foods, sugar, and alcohol are the best ways to raise testosterone naturally without relying on injections or supplements. Ultimately, he calls on men to take small, consistent steps to protect long-term health and vitality.
