High Stress, Low Drive? Raise Testosterone Using Nervous System Regulation

If you’re tired all the time, unmotivated, or dealing with erectile dysfunction—even while eating well, exercising, and doing “all the right things”—this episode may explain what’s really going on.

Host Lisa Urbanski sits down with Willie Handler to break down the effects of unresolved stress, trauma, and a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
🔹 Why chronic stress and elevated cortisol can lower testosterone

🔹 How trauma (including inherited trauma) can keep the body hypervigilant

🔹 Why performance issues aren’t always “age” or “physical.”

🔹 Simple daily steps to calm the nervous system and support hormone balance

🔹 How to start the conversation with a provider or therapist without shame
