Should We Be Worried About Men’s Testosterone Levels? Andrew Huberman Explains 

The documentary "The disappearing male" has all the information on the testosterone lowering effects of phthalates and BPA in 2008. A very prophetic work.

Have you ever heard about the weaponized soy theory

By processed foods, you mean most foods, like isn't everything processed nowadays? You just mean to stick to whole foods right?

​@@MrVenomsaurus you grow ur own carrot and put some salt, thats all

An anecdote from one person (n=1), is hardly scientific proof. And the plural of anecdote is not "data". Congratulations to the 70 year old man, but I think he may just be a genetic outlier.

Bro, it is literally genetic you have that high testosterone at 70s. We domesticated ourselves though and women chose more beta men to have children with and here we are. Hopefully science invents a new way to make Leydig cells produce more testosterone.

Don't listen to these guys your a BEAST

But nobody wants to do that.. ya its hard for the first couple years if you out of shape, but it becomes fun after awhile

Zinc and Vitamin D as well

Yeah sure but we are talking about genetic decline due to our pollution with these testosterone blocking compounds. These things are passed down from father to son just look at all athletes and actors they look like children compared to those who were born in 50s, 60s, 70s. Fertility is dropping... This is major issue that nobody seems to be talking about.

@@outlander234 That's also down to the reduction in smoking and skin care awareness. People nowadays will just look younger.

@@JD-hx7yd Come on I am talking about face bone structure, strong jawline is definitive sign of higher testosterone also more defined face die to less water retention in face which is also sign of higher testosterone. This isnt really up for discussion, studoes show decline of 30% in last 30 years. Its shocking. I look at my father when he was in his 30s and the look at me and my brother he lools mature, its not about getting old, its about the fact men used to mature quicker but they would hold that look longer.

It does.

Yes. Weight lifting helps a crap ton.

Yep

It also ages u rapidly

@@charlesiveson2642 I don't think that is true especially if you get good rest and nutrition. If you are drinking and smoking then yes ... but if you are taking care of your oxygen supply and liver and kidneys that will provide more youth. Actually, I know men who have done just that and look much younger than the men who smoke and drink. It's true for women too.

sorry to hear that.

I'm sorry mister

That is so sad man can't even imagine what you must have went through and are going through. You knew what you wife was doing was harming her but you still can't save her, may be she did not listen to you. I am from a poor nation and my family eats carbohydrates from morning to night. If I try to warn them about the harmful effects, they think that I am a fool. It sucks. Also we have almost no protein in our diet.

@@EXPLORER-hq1us One time my wife said, "I can't understand why I can't lose weight." I said, "Well maybe you could switch to sugar free diet soft drinks?" You would have thought I had told her to set herself on fire and jump off a cliff! She angrily said "I AM NOT GIVING UP *MY SUGAR!"* (Think Gollum saying, "MY PRECIOUS!")

@@etoineschrdlu9382 I know how you feel about that, my mother does the exact same things except the whole family shares the same mentally. It hurts them and those close to them. There is literally no solution to it when you are seen as the wrong one.

Do you have pdf??

Well maybe that scenario isnt all too inconvenient for the mentioned institutions.

@@lepsychiatre8455 Well, that's the only conclusion I can draw. Especially with how hard they seem to be censoring depopulation theories and are hell bent on calling it 'dangerous thinking'.

What issue faces women?

@@Jaapst Gender dysphoria seems to be one prominent problem for young women in western society

The real problem is that there are so many healthy young men trying to get prescribed TRT to bulk up at the gym. It seriously puts shade on the issue because it makes us, people with real testosterone problems, look like jocks that want to get big at the gym.

Go double trans and get hormones that way, you should be safe👌🏻

Maybe cause of how dangerous that is 🙄 we don't need any of that

@@stansmith5610 it's much safer to take HRT than it is to have cross sex hormones. It's a top up of your own hormones and many medications create hormonal changes.

It actually comes down to cost. There’s no reason to make compounded medications which cost a ton of money compared to drugs already on the market

@@stansmith5610 Are you an expert on the subject, or just another keyboard warrior?

You know Andrew is on TRT right?

It's not just one thing to blame. It's the total package of all: microplastics, pesticides, chronic stress, diet, etc.

Fascinatin’

That only means that your levels were really low and more natural living raised the higher but men used to be masculine across the board. I fathers generation I know men who havent seen a weight even and didnt do hard labour yet they still act masculine. Our environment has been systematically lowering baseline levels for the last 30 years they have gone down 30%.

@@outlander234 agreed. The modern world is enormously emasculating at every turn, just by design. Ultra convenience is bad.

^Bs Beans are not good for test. And not mentioning red meat, but advocating veggies. Your test ain’t 1100. Bs story.

@@nashvegaspimp beans have zinc. Red meat is not the best so go for white meat instead. What you email I could send you it if you want?

@@lilemont9302 I’ve tried that actually lol. I might have to start doing it a little everyday. One day I’m clean shaved the next day it’s already grown a little.

Eat read meat

@@alexbutlerful Why?

@@davidgeorge9233 Jumping in here. I believe I saw somewhere that high fat foods such as red meat increase testosterone. In addition, a diet consisting more of meat and less of vegetables are avoiding some of the pesticide treatments.

I'm also skeptical that avoiding animal products in your diet has a lot to do with increasing T. If you have research indicating this I then would like a link, please, as I am happy to learn. Eating whole foods in general (as opposed to juices) is surely a good move.

Bruh if you can’t produce testosterone, no amount or kind of eating will change that.

Glad to hear. My number when I had it checked a couple of years ago was same as you. My number is 340. Do you take injection or cream? How much dosage and price? Any side effects? I'm not sure what to do and what to expect. But every time I just want to start a basic walking routine let alone get back into running and lifting, I end up getting tired after a few days of walking and end up being tired for weeks.

How much do you have since you started taking it?

Damn I’m 42 not fat or obese. Pretty active, just had mine tested. It was 86! That’s not a typo. 86!!!! Not wonder I’ve been all messed up lately. But getting on any pharma meds scares me

@@dprice81 I feel amazing but I do IM injections, plus subcutaneous hCG injections every few days. I have since quit many meds I was on and improved my sleep, so I can probably go off eventually. But frankly the benefits have been so profound I'm just staying. No side effects, watch your estrogen and hematocrit, but both are generally minor concerns. Libido has always been high, but now it's absolutely nuts. I am actually legitimately doing some adult film 😂 my wife is fine with it, which is cool. She also got pregnant while I have been on TRT, thanks to hCG... Amazing for libido, sperm, testes, and testosterone... Anyway hope this helps. Injections are the way to go... Most side effects can be handled by changing dosage, frequency, type of injection (IM/subQ), etc. Some men go on AIs but aromatase/estadiol but honestly not necessarily for most... Best of luck. Since posting a year ago, I've actually gained 18lb.. But lost a whole belt notch, and I was in good shape to begin with... My electro impedance analysis with my neurologist showed me at 7% body fat as of a few months ago! I look great, feel great. Cheers

​@@dprice81Did u take TRT therapy?

will agree with what you suggested, I don't think that the environmental changes we are seeing should be ignored because there are some things you can do to counteract them.

@@Hamza97 lmao funny seeing you here

@@Hamza97 bro LMAO my boy is here

I think that is the real source of the problem, compounded by plastics and phthalates. The oestrogen that is in the water supply because of the female reproductive pill. Water treatment plants are unable to remove it from the water and so it goes back into the water source.

On a hunch, I looked up when margarine took off. Margarine is usually vegetable and I've heard petroleum based. Either way, it took off in the 1930's. The same decade sperm counts fell. We could be ingesting pesticides that way. Wikipedia: Margarine, particularly polyunsaturated margarine, has become a major part of the Western diet and had overtaken butter in popularity in the mid-20th century.[28] In the United States, for example, in 1930, the average person ate over 18 lb (8.2 kg) of butter a year and just over 2 lb (0.91 kg) of margarine. By the end of the 20th century, an average American ate around 5 lb (2.3 kg) of butter and nearly 8 lb (3.6 kg) of margarine.[56]

THIS!!!

In fact the agenda seems to be opposite, to lower our levels so much and make men and women much more similar and in turn more conformist for the dystopian future.

Right? Like these spree shooters, people will focus on guns rather than looking at why these alienated single men are choosing to do that. Literally NO ONE cares, it’s mind boggling. Makes you think it’s an intentional thing.

Wait wait, hold up. You are telling me that you had a crossdressing fetish and when you stopped touching receipt paper, this fetish disappeared?

@@kevinlevine4085 the urge to dress stopped. I have more freetime then ever and have no desire to do that stuff again. Not sure if there's a correlation or not. But I handled a box worth of paper a day on average. The urge to dress prior came from step dad abusing his parental duties when i was really young. It was shame thing to me at the time. Really glad I got over it and don't care what people think or say anymore.

When you say "dress up fetish," do you mean that you wanted to dress up in women's clothes? Or does that phrase mean something else?

And during those retail years the urges and reasoning were the most hellaish times to go through, so much justification to act out that way, ruined my relationship's, and communication with my kids was difficult, now things have improved so much. I found the Lord and he saved me.

@@dragonrider9051 Happy for you my guy, it sounds like you have really grown!

Vsuace has an interesting video about it. Check it out.

​@@psibarpsiso the conclusion was... More smoking and we associate their clothes to old ppl?

@@leisiyox Yeah. And maybe some other things as well. I don't think one should take Vsauce videos as answers to their questions - I don't think that's what they're intended to be, I think they're intended to be starting points of discussions.

I dunno about the specifics of that theory, but considering no government or major health organisation even mentions this, I can only conclude that this whole thing is intentional.

Yes of course, let’s advance the quality of life and life expectancy for decades on end, and then suddenly decide to depopulate the planet. You conspirtards really make no sense.

You living in USA? If yes you dont need Sheabeee you have Your goverment 😉

More like the truth!

Agree mate but testosterone is so cheap on the black market why suffer? Just jab 150mg testosterone cypionate/enanthate every week that's close to trt levels 1100

Women actually are just as affected by taking estrogen. Because women's estrogen is on average lower than their amount of testosterone. When they take birth control it can give them mood swings and absolutely obliterate their sex drive.

@@jeoffbarrat1101 The nightmare stories stop me. We shouldn't have too but that's where its at now.

@@THRIQUILLED yeah there is good black market labs out there but in many cases UGL gear is filled with bad carrier oils that’ll destroy your lipid profile or potentially worse. And you will have to pin a lot of bunk before you find a quality source. And I say that taking UGL and Pharma grade test this very moment. If you’re sitting at 330 and want to get on TRT my suggestion is to 1) doctor shop - if you live in the US there are telemedicine clinics that’ll help you out and hormone clinics owned by bodybuilders that’ll prescribe you shit. 2) lower your t levels voluntarily by long distance running, eating fast food, vigorous masturbation and stay away from weight lifting. Then go in with lowered T and they will have to prescribe it to you. Look online for safe ways to lower your own testosterone for further info. You’re right you shouldn’t have to do that but when the rules are bs you should bend and break them just on principal alone. Hope that helps though. Good luck 👍

Thats why i had to buy my own testosterone from black market.. fuck the hospital. They rather give it to a Transitioning female then to a male who needs it

Dr. Shanna Swan

He said they still don't know exactly.

@All Law bruh

Lmao

I think that would depend on whether or not the herbicides had phthalates in them.

Plastics in the environment are a huge contributor

Yeah cuz of all the illicit T boosters you find people selling.

Thats because bodybuilding and fitness are mainstream now. Your average joe on the street is softer than ever

I know most people in my gym aren't on any substance, they probably can't even afford it or get their hands on it, I think it's the social media use amongst young men that's pushing them to get jacked for Instagram or dating apps, the competition for attention is just much harder than before. Idk where you live, I am in Australia and there's more jacked young men on the streets than ever.

Cuz you can buy steroids online with 0 effort and also people are fatter. Mass moves mass.

No goverment made a plan and we see efect.

it's average

It's a healthy level tho, so no need for worry.

It's not just the conversion of testosterone to dht but the amount of dht receptors in the hair follicles Some men can juice have high dht levels but hardly any receptors in the scalp so keep their hair

DHT is a byproduct of testosterone. Drugs like finasteride block the conversion of T into DHT. They actually raise serum testosterone slightly because of that.

Yes, that's the same DHT. DHT is actually a much more powerful androgen than testosterone, responsible for making men into men. With how much our hormones are already being fucked, I would never take a pill that blocks either androgen. I'm lucky to only have mild hair loss so far, but I'd try everything else other than that. And I'd like to think if I had severe hair loss, I'd just accept it and shave it. As Charles Barkley says when an NBA player is balding, "come on home brotha. Shave your head and come on home."

DHT is a problem if you have a genetic background…

My understanding is that your body utilized testosterone to create dihydrotestosterone so I don’t think it would but I know for a fact the first comment on this thread knows exactly what they are saying. A lot of depends on blocking the receptors in your scalp not DHT production; granted I’m not an endocrinologist so your question is still a very valid one that’s worth getting a much more informed answer too.

I recommend, what I have learnt today's video on hair loss. It's more deeper than testosterone levels.

Where on earrh did you get that " representation"?

@@hejsan5839290485 its the high binding affinity of dht in scalp tissue that makes men bald Higher testosterone levels does quantify to higher dht levels as their is more to convert. But if you have very little dht receptors in your hair follicles then you can have supraphysiological levels of testosterone and dht and not lose a strand

@@hejsan5839290485 15 different strains 🤣🤣 you have no clue Without either A. High level of Dht conversion either from natural testosterone or exogenous testostetone B. High level of Dht androgen receptors in the scalp for the free bound dht to bind to You will not suffer from male pattern baldness end of its not complicated it really is that simple As for other effects that testosterone has in the body which are many has nothing to do with hairloss

@@hejsan5839290485 if your super high in testosterone and you don't lose hair it's because either A. You have very low levels of Dht receptor binding affinity in the hair follicles or B. Your taking a Dht blocker like finasteride or a combination of both

Zinc from food or supplements, eggs, wallnuts, red beets, grass fed beef and fish , olive oil, cocoa with almond, papaya, carrot juice, schisandra, rhodiola herbs. Cardio like rowing or kettlebell min 30-40 min a day or other exercise like running, maintain proper weight and avoid fast foods , sugary drinks and beer.

Sorry to blow it to you, but soy doesn't actually effect your hormone levels.. cow milk and dairy products on the other hand do, significantly. Considering the exercise part, I'm fully on your side. Post modernism is killing us.

I've noticed this too, walking in the mall and so forth, that modern male teenagers are significant more gracile with lower muscle tone than I remember growing up in the 90s. As a parent myself, I find it very disturbing.
