it's kinda scary that i learn more from this channel than i did in college. i'm convinced that the majority of physicians and nurses have no clue as to what's really going on in our bodies.
And your doctor will get pissed if you step out of line and start taking your health into your own hands.
@@EdLatimore1 100% start asking your dr for certain tests and they'll look at you like "you think you know more than me?" physicians have a god complex. they don't want to start requesting more bloodwork tests. not all, but most.
@@EdLatimore1of course because if you healthy there is less money in their pockets! You should check out the documentary what the health that came out probably 5 to 6 years ago!
Academia is slow, the Internet is fast

My husband ate nothing but meat for 90 days, lifted heavy weights and it increased his testosterone by 400%. That, in my opinion is the fastest and most natural way to go.
Incredible result
Was it grass fed/organic or just regular?
@@mattj809 It was both. There was a study done on grass fed vs grain fed and there was very little difference because of the 4 compartments in a cow's stomach.
Was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea last year. I was in terrible shape. Felt like I was being tortured without sleep. Was put on a CPAP, then started working out, cutting carbs and processed foods. Lost 30lbs. My testosterone levels was 280.. I’m 37. 😂 I’m getting retested next week . Looking forward to what it is now
If still low, try taking vitamin D...
Tag me with an update after please
@@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488 tag me please
Awesome! Change lifestyle and you will never lookbsck to that stinky lifestyle…
Okey let us know
dude's on speed today
Haha I wanna know what pre workout he’s taking
He's very excited
Too much Lions Maine and Alpha GPC!!! Hahaha
Mike was extra pumped up in this one! Great stuff!
Boron - age 60 I was taking it for arthritis which it didn't help much BUT I had higher energy levels, there was a very clear correlation, so possibly it did improve testosterone levels.
Yea but you have to take it on and off otherwise it will turn estrogenic. About 2 weeks on and then a week off for instance
@@Cenot4ph Thanks, that explains why the effect was only noticeable for the first few weeks. I might try it again.
Been messing around with diets for years and always struggled with energy and sleep.
I naturally nave slog of muscle mass at 92kg and usually sit around 12-14% body fat but Last year did so much fasting and removed eggs and stuff from my diet and thought fasting and keto was the way and by the end of the year I went almost suicidal.
I noticed morning wood going and I was becoming very anxious and depressed
I was loosing muscle from a lack of protein aswell
I had lost 15kg in a matter of months and got down to 8% body fat without me realising!
This year I’ve gone back to my Slow carb diet with a load more meat,eggs and bit of fruit around workouts and removed all of the seed oils and stuff and these past months I feel amazing!
Sauna weekly, removing plastic from foods and bottles, swapping non stick to cast iron, strength training and high intensity training but not overtraining, and remembering that this takes time to raise testosterone.
Past 2 months I’m waking up with morning wood every morning and feeling fantastic! Will never let my self get back to that
I’m still recovering but I’m back to 92kg now (6 foot 2) and I’m grateful for the lessons learnt.
No more crazy diets and just to eat how we should do
Slow carb diet are much more sustainable for the long term...and are much more enjoyable to boot
@@nocompulsioninlove2148I agree!
I got my muscle mass increased on zero carbs carnivore diet with great strength gains. Lift more at 56 than I did at 26 with less workout. No muscle pain ever.
Re: Stupid comments - Mike does not talk fast, he talks normal. Mike is probably my no1 favourite health youtuber I have on here. Why? Because the way he talks and delivers he is very interesting. Keep up the amazing content Mike
I can't stand listening to him on any slower than 1.75x. People are so inferior if they needs to hear super slow speech.
I don't know. I keep thinking the same thing with his videos: love the content, don't love the delivery. That's just me tho
@@Fedor526 hmm i don't personally notice it but i have to say he is passionate and it comes out in his delivery which makes him interesting to listen too
@@ayrtonsenna1989luke yeah he is definitely passionate. I guess to each his own. He's done pretty well for himself so could just be a minority of us
Here is a ChatGPT summary:
- Testosterone levels in men are declining worldwide, regardless of age or obesity.
- Adrenopause is a phenomenon where testosterone precursors start to decline, which is problematic.
- DHEA, a precursor to testosterone, starts to decline in the 30s.
- Nutritional strategies and supplements can help optimize testosterone levels, such as zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D.
- Calorie restriction and excessive fasting can lower testosterone levels.
- Sun exposure can increase testosterone levels.
- Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) increases with age, reducing the bioavailability of testosterone.
- Boron supplements may not be effective for increasing testosterone levels.
- Tongkat Ali may help reduce SHBG levels in older individuals.
- Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha can support adrenal health.
- Muscle mass is important for glucose and insulin regulation.
- Dehydration may have an impact on testosterone levels.

My husband at age 61, testosterone was 1410 3 months ago. He was taking 50mg DHEA, no trt. I was worried about possible cancer. But after some research, I found out that vitamin D could have some effect on testosterone. He was taking high dosage of vitamin D (20,000 iu) at the time because of COVID. He stopped taking DHEA and reduced vitamin D to 10,000 iu. Tested again recently and it came down to 937. So the reverse very possible to be true for those who want to increase testosterone.
Goddam 1410 is better then 90% of the guys half his age...Bet you wernt complaining at night time though betty🍆
20K UI of D? Thats a bit extreme I would say.
I take 10,000 IU’s every day, my test went up, I take with MK7.
@@mramerica4749 what was the difference in test
@@mindasb can always adjust based on blood test.
Great show. This old timer appreciates your wisdom. Keep up your podcasts. Eighty-one year old Viet Vet going strong-avoiding doctors and living/going the natural/alternative medicine path. When you get knocked down, get up and keep moving on,. expanding your mind and horizons.
Thank you for not slowing down😊This was like getting an hour’s worth of info in 30 minutes.
For some people, they have to realize it's them who has to fix their attention span, LISTENING SKILLS, and to savour things more. There's no pay or medal to rush. "Try to stop and smell the roses". As for this topic, it's always been interesting and important but more timely now with the issue of testosterone being less than decades and generations ago. There is definitely a problem and nefarious factor. Another great video, Mike! Thank you
Thanks, loved it Mike! I swear the speed at which you speak improves my cognition
Don't let the slow down comments get to you. I would even say don't slow down! You're doing great. Thanks for the info. Just purchased the alpha male stack and looking forward to giving them a try. Love the electrolytes Stix. 2 of the other name brand electrolytes I've tried upsets my empty stomach but not myoxcience. It only makes me very hungry while fasting.
Great info mike, been fighting low testosterone myself this year so very interested in the subject, but on the other side of it now. Just a few notes, the DHT 'anabolic' discussion was just a mix up between anabolic and androgenic, you're right in saying that DHT is much more 'androgenic' (male characteristics) than testosterone but it's not very anabolic (muscle building/repair). Secondly, Enclomiphene citrate is a really good alternative to Clomid/Clomiphene if you experience side effects as it works in the same way but without the same impact on the estrogen receptor in the brain which can cause libido issues for a lot of people.
Nice, great info here!
12:55 I'm glad you are shining some light on IF. I RELIGIOUSLY did IF for 18 months. So basically there was no "intermittent" at all. Everyday 18:6 IF. My stress levels were insane. I never felt really good meaning mentally/emotionally... I was able to lose 20+ lbs of fat which I was happy to do. I've since introduced eating in the AM. My weight has stabilized. Hasn't gone up or down drastically. 2lb flux. I believe IF is a great tool especially if you've gone "off the rails for a while".
Excellent video Mike, please keep talking hormones & fast talking I love your speed
ashwagandha should be taken in 'phases' NOT INDEFINITLY. it can lower your cortisol levels to the point where you do not feel anything.
Sheep aren’t supposed to have high testosterone.
It is true that people who are weak, sick, and afraid do not fight back. It's time for the sheepdogs to show up to work
Baaaahh
Exactly low T men are easier to control. They will sit by afraid, and not even try to help other's in trouble. They need ya fat, and feeling worthless with no muscle or testosterone. so that you show up to work everyday and obey. WIth more T it makes your more motivated and ambitious.
Wtf
Yep, Vitlaus and drip369… you are totally right and nailed it. Would the elites that made that recent s#it in ..19 willing to make we more sheeps and less sheppard dogs? Noooo that’s conspiracy… whell, i’m not a “conspiracy theorist”, i’m a F#ching obvious theorist… i had a damm metabolic syndrome that beaten me from 22 to 45 years old, making me crappy from 30 to 45 until I radically changed my mindset and started following channels like this and all changed for good!!!
Hi, I am living in UAE. What is recommended dose of DHEA for perimenopause women and man in his 50s. regards, you are doing great work 👍
10 per decade. Example 60mg if your 60. I am 67 and take 100.
I’m a healthy, very fit, clean eating 44 yo male. I took 50 mg of DHEA a day and went into Afib twice. Never had any episodes before. Once I stopped I never had any other issues. Just thought I’d share in case others had issues. Thanks for your content. ❤
Good to know, thank you
Zinc and Boron are especially important. I use eidon ionic minerals zinc and Boron.
Excellent one! Very much needed information.
Thanks for giving this presentation with your shoulder muscles displayed
Clomid isn't just for cancer situations, but also to help for women's fertility.
Ray peat say that men in their prime only produce 12-15 milligrams of DHEA a day and giving more than that will increase the chance of estrogenic influence. any thoughts?
Love your work Mike!
Mike is an absolute genius, I learn so much here
Let’s get it brother!! Thanks for everything you do, your videos are very interesting, and you also are very knowledgeable. Thanks again!!
Is it me or is Mike a little caffeinated on this one?? Love you Mike!

I think you also meant to say that we, men and women, need to USE the nutrition and supplementation. It seems that more often than not, I think you're meaning that resistance exercises are of vast greater importance than endurance (damn. I love my endurance workouts). Although we need both, resistance appears to be key. Thanks, Mike.
Love the info and one of my fav shows on UA-cam
Great content! What do you think about red light therapy on the gonads?
I can tell you anecdotally it works for me. 10 minutes every night with a 4K red light. Test is high!
@@Jonnycerious appreciate your reply 🙏
@High Intensity Health can you talk about neurotypes and how they related to Testosterone? like Adrenaline dominant athetes
Thanks for the video! Cheers!!
I see Saw Palmetto on your chart. What part does that play?
Get off a sedentary life. That's where it begins. You need to move your body more and get those steps in. Eat less sugar and get rid of all dairy, all dairy. Take D3 in high doses to get better sleep and also take melatonin in small doses. You need exercise and sleep to get your testosterone to any higher level. Too many people don't solve the first problem and sleep and exercise are first.
I'm worried about taking DHEA because I feel if you take a hormone then your body will stop producing as much hormones b
It's always a positive and negative with hormones dude...
Caloric restriction depletes testosterone however is anti aging and will lead to you living longer. So what do?
DHEA leads to DHT and lots of hair loss
Life extension has DHEA 25mg for around 10 bucks
Thank you very much
much love mike from Lebanon 🎉
Have tried Dhea several times each time i lose head hair rapidly. For me its a big no no. Im 61 years old.
same here.
excellent video.....
Having a high energy flux (consuming 4000 calories burning 4000 calories) is going to be stronger, healthier, and better looking then having a low energy flux (consuming 1500 calories burning 1500 calories), but still highly recommend those higher calories in a I.F. style of eating. Feast and Famine eating is so much better than mindless grazing all day
Purple sweet potato are great for reducing cortisol, improving sleep quality, microbiome health and, as a result, improving testosterone
*with clomid you have to be aware of blood cloths if especially if you have thrombophilia. Check for this first or other bloody thickening problems. Also, enclomaphene is MUCH better than just clomaphene* 💪👍
I couldn't help but read that in my head with a Jamaican accent😂
Would a water distiller remove fluoride from water properly? It’s sad how there’s so much poison in everything we eat/drink now.
Shungite stones filter out the garbage. Leave them in a big tankard of water overnight and drink away.
I use a distiller, from what I've researched it removes everything from water. I do recommend remineralizing the water, I use Redmonds real salt for that. A distiller is easy and no filters to replace. I got one on Amazon for around $120 US.
I used the Berkey filter with fluoride filter
At age 64 ,25 mg of dhea seems right i used to take only 10 mg last decade.
I used to have low testosterone when i did calorie restriction. Gaining weight and eating whole food vegan actually helped me. My total testosterone was 809 last time i had blood work done at age 36.
DHT is not very anabolic but it is very androgenic. There are other DHT synthetic derivatives such as methildrostanolone (superdrol), anapolon, oxandrolone and so on which are very anabolic DHT derivatives. Of course these are not occurring in the body natturally.

Whats up with all these people complaining about him talking to fast?! I watched the whole thing on 1.5x playback speed.
I dunno. He is probably speaking fast because he has a massive amount of information to go through and doesn't want to drag this out to 45-60 minutes.
You need to add saturated fats to your diet for testosterone
Im 49 and feel like crap all the time im going to try alot of ur suggestions with vitamins my dr said test low but i tried trt shits before and my legs started holding water so honestly not sure what to do lol Any suggestions?
Thanks Mike for helping me in my Order which was confiscated at canadian custom.......U R A CHARM
Sec hormone binding globulin doesn't reduce testosterone. It binds it to receptors for use.
As in activities or habits that increase testosterone (and testosterone itself and the habits and activities being bad for you technically like meat saturated fats and even exercise itself can increase risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease) must be lowered once they are increased not by reducing it through reducing total testosterone levels but by binding free testosterone with SHBG. It's a GOOD thing.
Coffee increases SHBG supposedly but also increases total testosterone levels as well.
You need to understand that it's not just about maximizing testosterone. You need to understand how to USE IT AND WHEN TO REDUCE IT.
My T was super low when I tested last year. It was 303 and I’m not 40 yet. Alarming. I was under lots of stress and having panic attacks. I haven’t tested again ever after, but my sleep is still disrupted and libido is low. So I know T is still low. I’m taking 30mg of zinc, should I raise to 75mg?
I doubt there is anything you can do naturally, apart from living on top of mountain away from civilization
I'm on opiods atm because of chronic pain and my doctor even told me that my testosterone will go down and yes, my libido went down and it even wouldnt get very hard 😮
Only thing that worked was injecting testo, 0,35ml every 3rd day atm and I am back into action....my girlfriend seems happy about my performance😂
I know everything about long term effects, but it just feels great as fkc. Will stop when I get off the opioid
usually the testosterone (trt) honeymoon wears off around 3 months or so when you start to miss some precursor and other hormones. i'd try everything you can to go back the natural route including Mike's advice. just tryin to help a fellow bro out. i'm trying to quit years of TRT now. luckily i always took HCG so the boys come back but everything else... remains to be seen. also enclomiphene is the new hotness btw clomid sucks :)
I wish we could monitor our test/hormones in real time. Like glucose. Man that would be sick. You could quickly figure out whats working and not
Talking too fast? I'm listening to him on 2x
Isn’t DHEA going to mess around with the body’s natural hormone production, like TRT?
*SHBG typo in the title, mike*
Thanks have you Researched Ageless male max supplement
I feel like my SHGB is high, I do more of a carnivore diet. I have been donating blood and feel so much better, but I did feel off.
Mike,any advice on what to use instead of dhea in europe?You cant buy it here.Will Wild yam extract do the trick?
What about pregnenalone? It's similar.
vitamin shoppe has DHEA at 100mg per serving 27 bucks
Why when i read about dhea do i find its not safe to supplement?
You don't talk that fast as I listen to these 2X and no issue at all😊
👍 give 👍 a 👍 like 👍 for 👍 Mike! 👍
By the way, is test directly tied to libido? or can you have normal or low-ish test but still have high libido? my libido has been very high in the past few months. I'm assuming my test must have gone up substantially? nothing has changed really other than adding one sprinting session a week to my exercise routine and taking collagen.
Estrogen plays a big part in libido in men
What about the omzie population
I did wonder whether I had my settings at 1.25x speed
Where’s the evidence on bovine testicular extract? Conflict of interest?
I listen on a minimum of 1.75x speed and cant believe how embarrassing it is some slow minded people want you to talk even slower.
Weak sauce. I listen on 2x speed minimum.

Are we seriously saying there is an argument to be made about going outside and shining some light on your nuts? Hahaha amazing, imagine that sun burn
So if you are restricting calories for fat loss then you are reducing your testosterone?
Yes happens all the time!
Are you all natural? What about pregnenolone?
Eat some RAW EGGS and RAW TESTES
Went low carb and tanked my T. I was doing keto and was very low in my total calorie intake. After tests dr started trt...after two years had a lot of problems with the trt once three weeks 125 ml, now they want me to start dosage once in two weeks...any one share their experience
Why the FCK would you instantly start TRT when it's obviously your lifestyle and food choice? Nothing more dishonourable than taking hormones if you don't want to be the next worlds strongest man. Stop taking pharma shit and go back to eating enough real food and do good strength training
@@shirohige291totally agree dude! I crashed my test from dieting last year and this year just spending the year getting it back up to what it was! It was a horrible time and lots of symptoms but doing it naturally is the best! And it’s almost back to normal now! Took around 8 months tho as it’s a long process
With high T fellas, you should be sleeping like a rock and waking up in the morning as hard as one!
1:56 (Image) -- wow, the (-)'s around Magnesium do NOT look good. I take a lot of Magnesium. I also do take Flavonoids.... hmmm. (Listening for more)
SHBG not SHGB
Is SHGB different from sex hormone binding globulin, or is that a typo?
shbg is the initialism of sex hormone binding globulin. shgb is a typo
What if your obese with low T? In that case isn't calorie restriction the way to loose the extra fat paired with exercise I know you said calorie restriction lowers testosterone but so does obesity.
But weight training improves T level
Don't go too low on the calories.
DHT is not anabolic, just androgenic.
Can get you a White Board 🤔
What type of Zinc?
Zinc Bisglycinate. Better absorption, easier on the stomach.
Doctor rutherford: "Copper deficiency is commonly due to taking too much zinc"
( Creates more of a substance called
Metallothionein).
From a youtube video called copper neuropathy. The recommended amount was 15 miligrams, reduced to 11 because it affects hdl cholesterol and copper absorption. I had panic attacks from taking zinc, still got anhedonia. Wish i got zinc from food instead
I'm 26 I feel a very significant difference from taking tong katali but I takes a few days get my muscles super hard and pumped up it's really noticeable even other people can feel the difference I can't get it that hard when I'm off of it
It has very weak data onit's effectiveness, probably a placebo
@@captainnoyaux definitely not a placebo it's pretty intense I take other things I didn't expect it , I'll just be sitting around or doing normal things and ny muscles feel inflated and totally different I'm very intune with my body. I actually got annoyed and I'm went off it because it was messing with my flexing I was too on. I do usually combo a few things like goat weed so It feels a little more intense then by itself. I use the dollar store tonkatali that comes with maca root filler but not bad dose. I also tend to manipulate the dosages sometimes I'll take anywhere from 3 x - 1/3 the dose on the box to be honest I had bigger expectations ashwagandha when I took that and if it was Placebo I'm pretty sure I would have felt it sooner
My dad (70 yo) have a history of prostate cancer, but the doctor wants to reduce his testoterone on his body because high testoterone will elevates PSA. The doctor says that high PSA asociated with prostate cancer. I beleive testoterone have huge benefit for our health as you said in this video, but what dou you think about elevated PSA and high testoterone?
The data with regard to this is so conflicting that it is very difficult to know who to believe.
I have done some research on this and I think that a low testosterone level associated with high estrogen is bad for prostate cancer.
So, optimal testosterone/estrogens/DHT levels (let say mid numbers in the reference range) are desired to stay away from prostate cancer.
I have same question. Something to think about: Young men (high testosterone) don't get prostrate problems...so what's the deal with encouraging testosterone with older men??
@@alexandruturza7131I agree. You dont hear of young men (high testosterone) having prostrate issues.
@@alexandruturza7131 Thank you very much for your explaination Sir. Your explanation about estrogen makes a lot of sense. It seems that based on the research, maintaining hing testoterone levels make more sense than reducing them. Once again, thank you for your response.
@@estogaza1 welcome.
Now at 70 y old is dufficult to have high T level. A diet with low carbs, high fat (eggs, meat, fatty fish, animal organs) for sure increases testosterone levels in all men. This diet would optimize the estrogen levels as well. Stay away from alcohol, sugars, grains, cereals or consume them around the time of exercise. Fruits can be consumed in low quantities as well.
This is a versatile carnivore diet and boost testosterone.
Some plant based supplements such as Tongkat Ali and Fadogia Aggrestis might be useful in this regard as well.
What are you on? Spill the beans. You’re way too hyped up. Manic.
