Testosterone and Stem Cells

Does testosterone therapy or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) improve stem cell function? Some clinics claim that hormones can enhance your stem cells, but is there any scientific evidence to support this? Dr. Centeno breaks down the research—including a study conducted by his team—to reveal the truth about HRT and stem cells.

Key Discussion Points:
🔹Do hormones improve stem cells? No published studies support this claim.
🔹Dr. Centeno’s Study (2013-2014) – A study on testosterone and stem cell function found no improvements.
🔹Study Design & Findings – 20 male patients were given weekly testosterone injections for 3 months.
🔹Stem Cell Count & Health Declined – Most patients saw a drop in stem cell number and health after testosterone therapy.
🔹No Scientific Basis for HRT & Stem Cells – Clinics promoting HRT for stem cells lack supporting research.

If a clinic is claiming that hormone therapy improves stem cells, there’s no scientific evidence to support it.
