Episode Details

Alan Ritchson, star of Reacher, is candid about his use of testosterone replacement therapy, revealing it’s not about vanity but a medical necessity after years of extreme physical demands for the role. Gaining 30 pounds for the first season led to surgery and a dramatic drop in testosterone, prompting his doctor’s recommendation. Facing intense pressure to maintain his physique amid grueling filming and injuries, TRT helps him recover, train, and avoid long-term damage. He’s challenging the stigma around TRT, clarifying it’s about correcting a deficiency—not boosting performance—and positioning it as a wellness tool for men over 40, crucial for mood and overall health. His story underscores the importance of medical guidance and bloodwork before considering such treatments.
