One of the medications to reduce the side-effects is statins. There's an online calculator for whether you should be taking them anyway, to reduce your cardiovascular risk; turns out I should be.

I do worry that spreading this info will prompt someone who needs ADT to avoid it (alive is generally better than dead). However I am also concerned about those who don't need it getting it, and those taking it whose doctors aren't aware of the simple, safe additional measures to reduce the damage.
