Maybe decreasing testosterone over the last decades has something to do with the increase in meat consumption over this time..not saying it does, just saying it might.
The ideal diet for high testosterone is a high carb low-fat diet getting in 30g or less fat a day and training super hard to grow as much muscle Mass as possible, which does not require much protein but more carbohydrates for strength and recovery as you only grow one to 5g of muscle per day at most, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
Where do you get the idea that low fat is best for testosterone? The research I’ve seen seems to show low fat reduces testosterone levels. Ie pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33741447/
@@beanthere-x2y my understanding is that what ornish uses to prevent and reverse heart disease, which is why mastering diabetes use that figure who got it from Doug graham as well., But that 30 g of fat or 10 grams per meal, being the high end for a person who needs a 3,000 cal diet, 30 grams times 9 calories per gram equals 300 calories = 10% of 3000 calories?
vegan men gotta hit the gyms more. we can show how plant based diet not only does not harm our testosterone, but also affects it positively. also, speaking of carbs. i'm from Russia and east slavs generally eat a lot of buckwheat. we eat it almost like asians eat rice. not only it has good carbs, it also has a lot of protein for a grain, you know. pretty underrated product in the rest of the world, you guys should give it a try

You should have added butcher Peter Attia, who never misses an opportunity for advocating high meat protein consumption despite it made his testosterone so low that he is considering a TRT, as he recognized on butcher DeLauer 's podcast... Greetings from France🙏
Perhaps he fudged the statistics concerning amount of protein. Often a typical "American" mistake because they do not use the metric system. I have often read on should consume 1g (or a bit more ) of protein per kilogram but not per pound. This represents an enormous difference.
It’d be great to create a satirical brand about manliness being associated with consuming plants. The best satire is rooted in facts, but pokes fun at detractors.
“Doctor” is a stretch here. He doesn’t have a medical degree. Also, people should note that there is a gaping chasm between a registered dietician (RD) and a certified nutritionist (what this man is). A registered dietician has to get a 2-year masters of science degree in dietetics, with prerequisite undergraduate courses, as well. A certified nutritionist need not have any sort of degree, and could simply complete a quick online course to become “certified.” Quite frankly, it’s a joke and nobody should take nutrition advice from these people. If you require actual nutrition counselling, please be sure to see a registered dietician (RD).
That's pretty much the logic. Makes sense that people think this tho. Most of our world view is created in our childhood and teenage years. Daddy, that cool kid in school and those manly guys in the ads ate meat, right? 🤷🏻♂️
The masculinity crisis is that boys lack the proper introduction into manhood. Men worrying about whether they are masculine and if they are more or less masculine by what they eat is a symptom, not the cause. There is a whole host of failures of society in the transitioning from boys to men, both extremes in diet vegan and carnivore may in some circumstances exemplify this fact.
Considering the stress the animals endure during their miserable lives, horrible transport and hideous deaths, their flesh must be saturated with cortisol. Would also be interested in knowing how carnists are affected by the blood glucose, lactic acid and adrenalin they're consuming.
I remember watching a Joe Rogan “fear factor” episode where the contestants had to eat bull testicles. Well, I watched only for a moment, because I had to stop watching. I was going to throw up. 🤢
2:44 lmao. The research literally says the opposite. Having more protein than carbs and fats together is harmful to testosterone synthesis and raises cortisol, etc. People who happen to eat more protein might work out more and exercise improves both sleep and testosterone production in the long term (it dips in the short term during the stresses of working out), so there might be a correlation in some individuals. But the research definitely shows that men need both carbs and fats at least equal to protein.
Hope it's okay to bring this up here. Have you heard of Dr. Abs. He almost convinced me to switch to a carnivore diet, but thankfully I did some research and learned he's a dentist! His videos are so convincing because he sounds like he's reading from a biochem text book (maybe he is). Hoping you'll take a look and maybe do a debunk vid, the kind I LOVE seeing from you!
Curious if there are any men who are regularly eating animal testes in an attempt to raise their testosterone? Seems like a tough sell to say the least.
I listened to Dr Axe a few times and concluded he is wrong about most of the things he talks about..Anybody who recommends organ meat and red meat is out to lunch..I wonder what he got his doctorate in?
In my own n=1 on carnivore so far, my testosterone (tested in the afternoon) has been high at 922 ng/dl with a reference range that goes up to 916. I don't take any testosterone supplements or testes and feel awesome every day. Flagged as "high" on my lab report but doc doesnt seem concerned.
Not trolling but after being vegan for 7 years I’ve been tempted (haven’t eaten animals or their product yet). I understand the science and morality but man I’m starting to slowly just dive into the same cognitive dissonance I use to call out on prior carnists in the past. I use to be so passionate about veganism and go to events and gatherings. I slowly started to lose interest the start of this year. No sugar coating but I just don’t seem to care anymore. I’m internally upset with myself for being so negative.
So you're having a Cypher-blue pill moment. Sorry to hear you're losing touch with your compassion. There's a lot going on in the world. Uncertainty in the economy, wars, inflation, increasing crime and violence. When us humans feel not at peace, it can trigger apathy or even worse, misdirected hatred. I see it all the time, and I've been there once or twice, I'm not judging. It might help you to revisit your WHY. What made you decide to go vegan. And also, do things that bring you joy and serenity. Like maybe hiking, swimming, meditation, baseball, tennis, painting, plenty of sleep, good, healthy meals, routine-mamals thrive on routine. Especially during times like these, it's important to take good care of ourselves.
@@tamcon72 the only thing that’s making me cling on to this diet is how cheap it is. But you are right, i need to seek a professional but I just don’t have the income or insurance to see someone.
From what I read about Fenugreek is that it blocks off DHT or the bad Testosterone that causes baldness. There is still not enough research around it and I still suffer from horrible sneezing from it. Yeah, never take Fenugreek.
Good stuff. I'd still like to see a video on the negative health effects of protein overconsumption - if there are any good studies out there of course. I'm starting to suspect even the minimum recommended levels of protein intake might be too high to be healthy.
One has to find the best diet for oneself and the personal health. I myself need more meat, others need less meat, other doing well on vegetarian diet and so forth. The important part isbto tolerate each other and not become extremist.
While I agree one gram of protein per lb of bodyweight is not needed for keeping protein up, or needed at all really, it’s definitely not an absurd amount of protein especially for people doing serious resistance training. I actually hit that relatively easily on my vegan diet almost without trying anymore.
If you are trying to maximize muscle mass, I don't think 1g protein / lb of body weight is "an absurd amount of protein". It is maybe slightly excessive, but it's in the ball park.
Just like Bryan Johnson (vegan), my night time wood is... Let's say, I can't sleep on my stomach. Not sure what that means for T, but sure it's good 👍 (also I don't eat meat)...
Wow, some good common sense from Dr Axe :) The question is actually whether you would rather have the testosterone in you blood (where it's measured) or in your cells (where it's used). Because of this I just roll my eyes when people bring up this kind of thing, we don't know enough about the body yet to infer what is really good or bad.
What? 170 grams of protein? The Bible of Phisiology, the Medical Textbook, Guyton & Hall says 35 grams but for safe puts on 50 grams because you lose about 15 grams a day.
Hey Mic! Have you thought of doing a video dedicated to a direct comparison to wild mammals such as monkeys, cancer rates and also wild carnivorous and I’m mammals in different families but in the same class and the cancer rates to give a comparison of mammals that eat what they are biologically and physiologically supposed to eat compared to the domesticated ones such as us and dogs and cats? Does this make sense? The statistical data doesn’t directly compare, but it’s evident does this make sense? Elements predominantly cancer you know??? I thought it would be kind of cool. Like maybe compare wolf species if there’s any data on that if they found like rates of cancer high in them or anything. Or rates of coyotes and foxes. They’re all the same family.
Sorry for all the typos and grammatical errors I was using talk to text. But I was thinking you could pull up some data directly comparing the rate of different diseases and cancers typically correlated with eating foods that are not physiologically and biologically meant to be consumed in large quantities by specific species. Like us eating meat and how domesticated dogs eat high % of beef, lamb, etc. I was also thinking cats as well from different species. Considering cats actual diet is supposed to be mainly bugs and rodents and they’re being fed beef and chicken. You know?
Making fun of someone's name at the beginning of your video makes you look childish and and adds questions about your credibility from someone who is a scientist.
So much protein from any source -; ignoring a vast amount of research and data on the dangers of red meat, all meat, eggs. Good that you made this video let's hope it makes tiny chips in the mountain of blind belief. Eat testicles to be more manly: life is so simple. That symbol of manliness a bull or studbull whose testicles are recommend to be eaten never ate a testicle in his life. Well thanks for handling Dr. Axe's video well.
This whole conversation is stupid. Testosterone isn't something that is the same all day long. If you test your testosterone in the morning hours vs at night, you could see a big number. Just because your results come back at 300 one day, doesn't mean you always have 300 testosterone.
Use to eat tons of vegetables and fruits. Had many stomach problems with massive amounts of gas and bloating. Fermented foods were Also big in my life. Started eating meat eggs and animal fats. No more stomach problems, gas and bloating. I know what works for me and no more suffering. GOD SEND
Strange, I used to have gas, bloating, constipation when I ate meat. Now that' I'm vegan that's all gone. Digestion is awesome, increased strength, stamina, better mood. No more pms, no more cramps, no more eczema. No more anemia!!! GODSEND ❤🤗 ❤ 🌱🍓💪
People shouldn't be allowed to call themselves "Doctor" when their education is some kind of "alternative" medicine pseudoscience. He claims "Doctor of chiropractic" and doctor of "natural medicine", which is an offshoot of the Chiropractic pseudoscience.
Vegans make only 4% of the US population. Mic if you want this number to go up by 1% show us vegan success stories. Am sure you tons and tons of success stories right ? KETO and carnivore are now the most successful diets because they show results with even vegans becoming carnivores.

Uncertainty in the economy, wars, inflation, increasing crime and violence. When us humans feel not at peace, it can trigger apathy or even worse, misdirected hatred. I see it all the time, and I've been there once or twice, I'm not judging. It might help you to revisit your WHY. What made you decide to go vegan. And also, do things that bring you joy and serenity. Like maybe hiking, swimming, meditation, baseball, tennis, painting, plenty of sleep, good, healthy meals, routine-mamals thrive on routine.
Especially during times like these, it's important to take good care of ourselves.
@@tamcon72 the only thing that’s making me cling on to this diet is how cheap it is. But you are right, i need to seek a professional but I just don’t have the income or insurance to see someone.
@@Fruitlahoop Well, all these channels are sponsored by Better Help. They're supposed to be more reasonably priced.
From what I read about Fenugreek is that it blocks off DHT or the bad Testosterone that causes baldness. There is still not enough research around it and I still suffer from horrible sneezing from it. Yeah, never take Fenugreek.
Also causes bad body odor.
2:14 Isn't this reverse causation? As in the people at risk of death are low in testosterone, not the other way around.
Video on secondary amenorrhoea and diet next?
Good job as always Mic. I'm sick of all these know it alls
Good stuff. I'd still like to see a video on the negative health effects of protein overconsumption - if there are any good studies out there of course. I'm starting to suspect even the minimum recommended levels of protein intake might be too high to be healthy.
One has to find the best diet for oneself and the personal health. I myself need more meat, others need less meat, other doing well on vegetarian diet and so forth. The important part isbto tolerate each other and not become extremist.
While I agree one gram of protein per lb of bodyweight is not needed for keeping protein up, or needed at all really, it’s definitely not an absurd amount of protein especially for people doing serious resistance training. I actually hit that relatively easily on my vegan diet almost without trying anymore.
I like how he mixes imperial and metric measurements
"I thought we were nuts..." 😂🤣
If you are trying to maximize muscle mass, I don't think 1g protein / lb of body weight is "an absurd amount of protein". It is maybe slightly excessive, but it's in the ball park.
I'm so glad I don't watch any of these fake videos. I stay to the real stuff.
Here
PCRM
And all the plants based doctors 💊
Idk how you manage to always look like you’re drenched in sweat while being completely dry
Just like Bryan Johnson (vegan), my night time wood is... Let's say, I can't sleep on my stomach. Not sure what that means for T, but sure it's good 👍 (also I don't eat meat)...
Wow, some good common sense from Dr Axe :)
The question is actually whether you would rather have the testosterone in you blood (where it's measured) or in your cells (where it's used).
Because of this I just roll my eyes when people bring up this kind of thing, we don't know enough about the body yet to infer what is really good or bad.
What? 170 grams of protein? The Bible of Phisiology, the Medical Textbook, Guyton & Hall says 35 grams but for safe puts on 50 grams because you lose about 15 grams a day.
Great video..if Dr Axe had any shame whatsoever he'd take his video down.
Hey Mic!
Have you thought of doing a video dedicated to a direct comparison to wild mammals such as monkeys, cancer rates and also wild carnivorous and I’m mammals in different families but in the same class and the cancer rates to give a comparison of mammals that eat what they are biologically and physiologically supposed to eat compared to the domesticated ones such as us and dogs and cats? Does this make sense? The statistical data doesn’t directly compare, but it’s evident does this make sense? Elements predominantly cancer you know??? I thought it would be kind of cool. Like maybe compare wolf species if there’s any data on that if they found like rates of cancer high in them or anything. Or rates of coyotes and foxes. They’re all the same family.
Sorry for all the typos and grammatical errors I was using talk to text. But I was thinking you could pull up some data directly comparing the rate of different diseases and cancers typically correlated with eating foods that are not physiologically and biologically meant to be consumed in large quantities by specific species. Like us eating meat and how domesticated dogs eat high % of beef, lamb, etc. I was also thinking cats as well from different species. Considering cats actual diet is supposed to be mainly bugs and rodents and they’re being fed beef and chicken. You know?
Making fun of someone's name at the beginning of your video makes you look childish and and adds questions about your credibility from someone who is a scientist.
Axe is not a scientist.
So much protein from any source -; ignoring a vast amount of research and data on the dangers of red meat, all meat, eggs. Good that you made this video let's hope it makes tiny chips in the mountain of blind belief. Eat testicles to be more manly: life is so simple. That symbol of manliness a bull or studbull whose testicles are recommend to be eaten never ate a testicle in his life. Well thanks for handling Dr. Axe's video well.
How can people really be so ignorant?
You slashed straight through dr. Axe's meaty claims!😉
Top 1 things to destroy testosterone in my experience:
1) 4 mg estradiol + 12,5 mg cyproterone acetate / per day
How would recommend to supplement the Greek? Thank you
Chiropractor, lol, so not a doctor. As an actual MD shit like this pisses me off. This guy is a charlatan through and through
Mic you should go get your chiropractor certification otherwise I won’t be able to trust your nutrition recommendations anymore
Dr Axe is a good guy. Obviously, we disagree with his diet preferences but generally he does espouse good ideas which we all agree upon.
Not another chiropractor. Why don’t they go back to cracking backs?
I've upped my red meat and eggs and I've definitely seen an increase in my testosterone/ libido
And cholesterol 😂
Eating testes to improve testosterone sounds like Baker's famous nonsensical, eat sentient beings for sentience.
Interesting video, your audio was a bit off on this one, kinda "grainy."
*Giggling*
☺️…for me, it’s the thumbnail photo.
This whole conversation is stupid. Testosterone isn't something that is the same all day long. If you test your testosterone in the morning hours vs at night, you could see a big number. Just because your results come back at 300 one day, doesn't mean you always have 300 testosterone.
Another Dr saying "bro, just trust me.."
Dr. Bro
My testosterone is going up just by seeing short clips of the Axe man. 💪
Dr. Axe used to give really good recommendations, but sadly it seems he's thrown in his lot with the keto grifters
Use to eat tons of vegetables and fruits. Had many stomach problems with massive amounts of gas and bloating. Fermented foods were Also big in my life.
Started eating meat eggs and animal fats. No more stomach problems, gas and bloating.
I know what works for me and no more suffering. GOD SEND
Strange, I used to have gas, bloating, constipation when I ate meat. Now that' I'm vegan that's all gone. Digestion is awesome, increased strength, stamina, better mood. No more pms, no more cramps, no more eczema. No more anemia!!!
GODSEND
❤🤗 ❤

Yelp. It's a good thing we all are allowed to think for ourselves and not be forced to do what's best for others
Axe isn't a medical doctor. He apparently has some qualifications in pseudoscientific subjects like chiropracty and 'natural medicine' though.
People shouldn't be allowed to call themselves "Doctor" when their education is some kind of "alternative" medicine pseudoscience. He claims "Doctor of chiropractic" and doctor of "natural medicine", which is an offshoot of the Chiropractic pseudoscience.
Vegans are going nuts over the science
Not an absurd amount of protein.
Men too are made of sugar and spice and all things nice?
It's Captain Hammer and Doctor Horrible! lol
Vegans make only 4% of the US population. Mic if you want this number to go up by 1% show us vegan success stories. Am sure you tons and tons of success stories right ? KETO and carnivore are now the most successful diets because they show results with even vegans becoming carnivores.
Make fun of him all you want whenever i eat vegan i feel like shit
Whats up with all these chiropractors...
Love your work Mic, but with a neck like that no gym bro is going to listen to you.
