VEGAN MEN! You Are "Nutritionally Castrating" Yourselves! (testosterone & saturated fat)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- According to Andrew Huberman, men need saturated fat from butter, meat, eggs, etc. for healthy testosterone levels. Is that true? Do men need to eat animal products for health and fertility? Is a plant-based diet bad for testosterone?

Ha. Nothing like a little self deprecating humor. Good video. Very reasonable.

Lol, humility, something quacks don’t have, so good news your not a quack 🤣
@@mdoublehb4571 TROLL.
He’s fallen into a common intellectual trap that many of the smartest people fall into, they overstep their area of expertise. It’s a bummer bc people treat them as if they’re experts on everything. No one is.
Exactly, testosterone would fall under endocrinologists, he might possibly work in tandem with endocrinologists on some overlapping area of brain health and testosterone but that would be on a very specific issue that isn’t about fertility related. Fertility related issues definitely don’t seem to be the domain of neurobiologists, that’s the domain of endocrinologists, Andrologists, reproductive surgeons and reproductive immunologists. He’s definitely overstepping.
@@nicolesapphire3696 he also isn't a physician, which he does say occasionally, but he talks as is if he has an MD's understanding of general physiology with a specialists knowledge in neurobiology. But it he doesn't have the foundational knowledge outside of neurobiology he pretends to
There actually is a history of people who won noble prizes that went on to have wild "adventures" in other things where they became total bullshitters
At some point before you die, you have to look at evidence and make a decision. Experts are repeatedly found to be wrong and information is always in flux.
@@michaelkokinos2872 the lack of self awareness in this comment is astounding.
"He talks as if he has an MD's understanding of general physiology...but he doesn't"
It has been a while since i've read something so profoundly anti-intellectual. We really do live in an idiocracy these days where most people are inept, unthinking cattle that declare themselves "believers in science", thinking this conveys the virtue of intelligence unto them.
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT CREDENTIALS SOMEBODY HAS. This is a fundamental logical fallacy, appeal to authority. You look to your priestly class, academia, blindly, for approval. This is not science, it is religious zealotry.
He talks like he has a general understand of physiology because he does. Fitst of all being an MD is the opposite of a specialist, they are generalists by definition. Secondly, the reason he has this understanding is because having a license has no bearing on weather or not you have knowledge, or that your conclusions are correct.
Funny that intellectually dull people like you folks are the ones to call dunning kruger on an accomplished intellectual.
Plant-based person who used to work in a fertility office here. The doctors I worked with encouraged a more plant-based or simply vegan diet as part of fertility treatments. So yeah, even the omni doctors who TREAT infertility can see that veganism is perfectly acceptable for fertility health.
Even for women? Because there's a real issue between excess fiber and female hormone levels.
hey UV! just wanted to let you know that your videos and scientific approach to veganism, health and nutrition have not only inspired me to become vegan 5 years ago but also to become a dietician! if it wasnt for your videos i might have never found out how interesting and multidimensional this field can be but it has truly turned into a passion! i hope youre having a good day :)
Awww, that's amazing! So glad I could play some small part in helping you find a field you love! ❤️
way too often this man talks about things out of his realm of expertise like he's an authority... gives me jordan peterson talking about climate change or the food pyramid vibes (would love a video on that please!)
You need fat for hormonal production. If you are malnutritioned, it affects your fertility too.
But it's easy to eat enough fat as a sensible vegan.
The sources are f.e. avocado, nuts, seeds, oil, etc.
Another anecdote. My husband and I have both been vegan for almost 10 years, both of us have been vegetarian for many years before going vegan.
My 4.5 year old was conceived the first month of trying. My 6 month old was conceived with an IUD in place and was a total happy surprise.
Just goes to show that if anything, experts and professionals are far more likely to fall into and propagate pseudoscience. Never fully trust the words of a singular person, even if they are an expert in their field.
Yup scientific consensus is what is important. Huberman is neurobiologist, so I don’t think treating low testosterone is specifically in his field, testosterone may have some impact on the brain but I suspect that the treating of low testosterone still falls under the domain of endocrinologists, he might work in tandem with endocrinologists for some conditions but I don’t think this gives him specific expertise in the subject of the causes of low testosterone. Even if neurobiologists do have expertise in treating low testosterone they still have to stay within consensus just like all other doctors and scientists, which he isn’t.
I was watching CarnivoreMD (to learn about his arguments against eating plants lol, but I'm a vegan) and I know in his bloodwork he has a problem wtih his testosterone being too low and he eats exclusively animals and fruits. I think his testosterone improved with adding fruit back into his diet. So, it is interesting to see that someone on a low carb but high fat diet have a problem with keeping testosterone levels good. Obviously, just one an anecdote and worth looking more into.
It’s a direct result of iron toxicity, because he ate almost over a kilo of stake everyday, which almost no else on earth, does other than himself. heavily damaging his organs, even his hyper-oxidising (as in damaging his body faster it can defend itself) his reproductive system, making impossible to create a healthy balance of testosterone even the brain. A guy named Tufano went in on it called ‘How carnivore Almost K^^^ me” and iron toxicity video. He did one of the world most harsh experiments on himself, check it out. He seems to be fine after eating vegetation again. Sladino is a low hanging fruit. He’s a nut case compared to an average adult.
The problem was actually that his shgb was too high. Shgb is a protein which binds to testosterone and makes it unavailable in the body his free testosterone was low because of this reason free testosterone is basically testosterone - the testosterone bound to shgb.
Carbohydrate restriction increases shgb, because of this reason his shgb was so high and is now back to normal
@@samvandervelden8243 1. do sex and feel sexy /attractive, daily = have most testosterone ( growth-hormone ),

@@SaitamaRusso I just explained why his diet is the issue...
"nutritionally castrating"...pure marketing bull hockey
I really appreciate that you put the info on him as a person at the end. While it was interesting and definitely added to the interpretation of what he said, sometimes these kinds of videos feel like they are very ad hominem attack heavy. So you choosing to first look into the actual content of the claims and then give the context of who he is as a person is very much appreciated!
Learning is fun. I can waste sooo much time when I get caught up in learning about a certain topic. It usually leads me down a variety of side-trails until hours have gone by. 😆
I liked before the video played because I knooooow this is gonna be good 😂 thanks for sharing! ✨☀️🧡
@9:16 - kinda funny that the high fat and animal protein guy recommended plant supplements to his audience. 🤔
Andrew Huberman, drifting inexorably into bro-science territory. Roganland! from whence one's previously sterling reputation does not return. Shameful for a real scientist, but almost inevitable in this era of dumbed-down sosh media. This was a good analysis; thanks for posting!
Bro science is the exact vibe I get every time I see or hear him.
I'd love to see more studies regarding veganism and reproductive health both in men and women. Like you said, 15 participants in a study is just to few to draw conclusions either way.
Thank you for this content
Love your logical way of thinking. Love your top in this video too, pretty flowers ❤
I've definitely noticed a difference in my diet affecting testosterone levels. As anecdotal as that is, this was on needlessly restrictive diets, as mentioned in the video
Its funny how they eat butter for testosterone, while butter is the highest source of estrogen there is. It pure dairy fair, 14x the estrogen amount of dairy milk.
Great pictures on your wall!
Hi bro!
Love your content and the way you handle yourself.......I,m subscribed ,thank you,50 plus years vegan...going strong
I know its anecdotal, but ive been vegan for 3 years. my total testosterone level exam marked 1112 ng/dl, so i guess these people just want to make excuses to keep eating meat.
I like Andrew Huberman. He talks to a lot of different scientists on his podcast, but I do agree he seems to be really concern about the what ifs that come from these smaller studies that come out . I think when it comes to exercise what he says could be good knowledge for the individuals that are really trying to maximize their performance in sports or are in the extreme end of the spectrum in terms of weight lifting. However, most people are NOT in this category.
Huberman sells supplements, or is partnered with a store that does or something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he's selling the supplements he's recommending in that clip, which would explain why he's recommending them even though there's so science to back his claims.
He's an affiliate with Thorne, which charges significantly more than the market average for their products -- so he definitely isn't recommending the company for listner's benefits.
omg your shirt is so cute!!
I need your t shirt!!!! Let me know!!! LOVE JT
My husband and I have both been vegan for 6 years. We started trying to get pregnant in September and I had a chemical pregnancy, got pregnant the next cycle! I was so nervous that we would have struggles conceiving (I have an eating disordered past, recovered 8 years ago) but nope!
You’ve never healed from your ED. You just switched. Veganism is the worst ED there is because it’s promoted. You fell into a trap. Be well and eat meat.
That's a really funny thumbnail!
I wish you also addressed this guy's claim that you need dietary cholesterol for hormones, which is a clear bs. Our body produces all cholesterol it needs, and we can even boost our production with saturated fat consumption
haha your so funny haha, I find you are very rational and thorough and fair
I listen to his podcasts & his one on alcohol helped me cut down my drinking considerably but I try to set aside our ethical & dietary differences because it's pretty clear he's not sold on a plant based diet.
I think I even heard him say he doesn't believe there's enough evidence they can be healthy.
Feel kinda silly for not allowing this to inform my scepticism of his potential biases in other areas.
Now, where's my beer?
@@mdoublehb4571 ironic since judging people like that is what's really pathetic
as long as you don't drink and drive and you harm no one else why would you care if people took a bit of drugs?
Being skeptical of the long-term health effects of a vegan diet is sensible if you do not come from generations of veganism. Especially considering that a modern vegan diet in many areas of the world is not possible without burning up large amounts of oil in transportation, and electricity in the processing of the foods, food products and supplements.
For example, my family for generations lived into our nineties on animals, animal fats, vegetables, fruits and grains that could be produced locally. Grandma and great-grandmother didn't have access to avocados, coconuts, quinoa, tofurkey, protein bars with bits of soy protein isolate, etc. They did have beef from local farms, milk that they could process into cream or butter themselves, their own chickens and backyard vegetable gardens, and wheat flour from the general store.
They could grow or buy the corn that they served up with fried chicken and potato salad. Peaches and blueberries were abundant in the summertime, and they picked and ate fresh, baked into pies, and then dried, canned or processed into jams and jellies.
I wonder how many people could be vegan, if they could eat only what was grown and processed within an hour of their home--and to be really generous, let's say an hour by modern car and highway rather than an hour by cart and horse on dirt roads.
people forgot what’s proper food.. plant nut bushes and nut trees, berry bushes like cornelian cherry or rose hip AND eat certain tree leaves like from Linden and the fresh tops from needle trees are eatable too like deers eat it and it is nutritious for humans too, WILD HERBS like stinging nettle and if you pee near them they produce all nutrients you need according to your pee that is synergy! also proper fasting is important and healthy cause it leads to autophagy a process that cleanses cell waste and recycles protein
humans forgot they are powerful creative creators a bit of genuine effort and there you have solutions also algae like nori for iodine (helps with cold body temperature and hormonal issues) kimchi and sauerkraut is proper and chestnuts and beechnuts and yeah consider to not move to arctic regions for a vegan life
46 here and have 2 kids 6 & 2 with another on the way. Vegan for moving into 4 years.
I eat about 20-30% fat in my diet. About 20-30% protein.
Loving your content ❤ may I refer to it on my channel? I AM the Healer
I say this all the time, I have experience with doing low fat the first 6 months when I went vegan.
First and only time I lost my drive, sickest I ever was, lost 30 pounds or so off lean mass.
Got it all back and much more just from including macadamias and coconuts, that's how big the difference is.
Extremely low fat and calorie intake is clearly unhealthy. But that doesn´t mean the fat has to be saturated.
@@mikekuppen6256 monounsaturated and saturated dominant fat sources work for hormonal health, polyunsaturated sources do not.
This has all to do with isocoloric diets in general.
Carnivores (low carb, mediumish fat) are often worse off.
Impossible to be hormonally healthy without at least some amount off all the macros.
You can say fats are perhaps more important for basic functions and can do somewhat well without carbs for a long time if you up the fat a lot (carnivores often don't do that so they are off worse)
But you will NEVER thrive on any isocoloric diet as much as you could if you'd eat balanced.
Having listened to a lot of the exam room podcast, I think Neal Barnard’s advice is pretty much always based on treating people in extremely bad situations requiring extreme treatment to save their lives… I don’t think he believes that everyone on earth should be eating that little fat 🤷♀️ it’s good that they seem to bring on people who disagree with him too
N. Barnard saying you only need 3% of your calorie from fat likely refers to the daily need for the only two fatty acid : around 12-16g of oméga6 and 1.5g of oméga3, which amounts to around 3% of calorie.
However one cannot eat only that in a normal day (all oméga3/6 comes with other fatty acids) and no trial have shown the health effect of eating only these omega3 and 6 as the only source of fat
Edit: 16g of fat is 14% of calorie ! So i dont know where this 3% figure comes from but it's not even enough to get the essential fats
Fun fact: I had a blood test after 3.5 years vegan and my testosterone was on the high end of the normal male range. Granted, that was before I started transitioning and it went down dramatically lol.
(yes I know it's an anecdote I just think it's funny)
... that's a really sad story, man.
Vegan and trans. No you don’t have problems at all.
it went down dramatically after 3.5 years of the vegan lifestyle?
Did you read the rest of my comment? Its a joke about how the real reason my testosterone went down was because of my feminizing hormone replacement therapy.@@eddyerle3338
it didn't suprise me one bit that the first comment i saw under his testosterone podcast was from what i've learned😂🤦🏼♂️
I honestly think he just mentioned his own blood lipid levels bc people on the internet are quick to judge in a personal way "oH yoU eAt doNt liKe vEGanS? sHow uS yOur blOOdwoRk tHen Mr. Perfect" it's happened so many times, Im not surprised he mentioned it right away.
I dont see an issue there
Did any one else catch him say "dietary cholesterol is vital for hormone production". Was that him misspeaking or him showing off that doesn't he isn't educated in dietieics? It seems like he is confusing saturated fat with cholesterol.
If he actually is taking about dietary cholesterol, then ALL vegans who have significant endocrine issues -- Yet there's a wealth of literature that suggests well-planned vegan diets can are appropriate through the lifespan. It seems like he's talking out of ass thinking there isn't enough research to prove him wrong... but he doesn't understand dietarty cholesterol is not independent of saturated fat.
Foods high in cholestrol are often high in saturated fat. This can obfuscate studies investigating the affect of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat. So it can be easy mistake to make, but he'd understand the difference if he had enough education in dietetics to make diet recommendations.
Olive oil is commonly called 'monounsaturated', but its also 14% saturated.
I've been on a vegan diet for almost 20 years and I lift weights and am able to remain "overweight" according to BMI despite being below 14% bodyfat, I'm in better shape than 99% of meat eaters. I also have several signs of high testosterone but haven't had my level tested.
what about libido level?
Aside from Swayze, am I first to comment?
I like that you amended your comment lol
@@UnnaturalVegan Your welcome. I also can't believe that you replied to me! ❤️
I actually first learned about Andrew Huberman not even a year ago when he was on Simon Hill’s podcast, The Proof. He’s a neuroscientist, not a nutrition expert or a gastroenterologist or anything like that. He mostly discussed what neuroscience is, tips for better sleep, different neurotransmitters, effects of exercise, light and melatonin, breath work, yoga, brain fog, etc. Besides a brief, small tangent on fluoride, atrazine and sunscreen I learned a lot. Lol. I specifically remember a point in the podcast when Andrew brought up Simon’s book, The Proof is in the Plants, and he said that Simon’s book was amazing and that it taught him so much about nutritional science and then Andrew said that he wasn’t PURELY plant based but that he was really trying. Maybe he just tries to play to whatever audience he’s currently in front of.
In regards to these clips, I think the castration thing was ridiculous but he didn’t say that being vegan or plant based was bad for your testosterone or that you couldn’t get saturated fat from a vegan diet. He just said some amount of saturated fat is good, which is correct. And then he just said vegans were mad at him for saying he ate butter. Personally, I don’t see the nutritional value of butter and I definitely wouldn’t eat it for ethical reasons anyway but I don’t see him making any claims against being vegan here.
Hey, someone else who's a listener of The Proof 👋🏻 I really appreciate Simon's approach to the science behind everything without too much bias.
People who smoke, drink, don't exercise at all, eat junk food / processed foods should not have to worry are they vegan, carnivore or omnivore.
I have noticed that Andrew Huberman makes a lot of claims with a great degree of confidence but never backs up any of his arguments with any scientific evidence. He seems more like a shady supplement salesman than a doctor.
Uhmm the biggest question I have is what he means with "improved" testosterone? I feel like a lot of these gym bros think a really high testosterone level is a good thing, when we know it isn't. Is he talking about ppl who actually have issues because of low hormone levels or is this actually about his clients (or whoever hes talking to/about) not feeling manly enough and think they can fix it with nutrition? If I remember correctly testosterone levels are mostly the way they are in an individual because of genetics and higher levels usually come with early hair loss, which also seems to be something these man are (in my expirience) very scared of... I totally get the fertility thing, but I don't think higher testosterone levels equal better fertility? So it's just buzzwords? I don't even wanna know what he's selling...
Low testosterone reduces sex drive, can cause ED, impairs your ability to gain muscle and can kill your energy and motivation, even cause depression. High testosterone is rarely an issue. Average testosterone levels have been steadily declining for several decades now, so there are way more people looking to increase testosterone than decrease it. Especially at Huberman's age.
@@SinkingPoint Of course a testosterone deficiency is not healthy. What I meant was that the men he's talking to most likely don't know their testosterone levels. I've heard people assign so many things (most often early hair loss) with low testosterone when it's actually a common sign of higher testosterone levels. I just think it's being "sold" to men as a cure all that it isn't. Also if you look at the studies, you'll find out the reasons for lower levels in the population are most likely a combination of and aging population and higher rates in obesity. And I don't think thats his audience. You're totally right on the high testosterone thing though.
@@f.c.4603 You're right, most men don't know their testosterone levels, but if they want more of the traits imparted by testosterone then it makes sense that raising testosterone might help.
You're somewhat correct about hair loss, although coversion to DHT in the scalp and follicle androgen sensitivity also have a lot to do with it.
I'm not talking about the normal decrease in testosterone with age. The research I'm talking about compares testosterone levels at a given age, so ageing population doesn't come into it. Part of it is explained by obesity and lifestyle factors, but the trend remains even after adjusting for those. The cause is a mystery.
Yeah they are
When I heard him say things like sugars makes you hyper I realized that sometimes he can talk about things without knowing. The problem was when I heard him say that multiple inteligences are a thing. Isn't he a neuroscientist? Yikes!
Well, Indians aren’t totally vegan but many are vegetarian plant based and they are the most populous nation on earth soo…
Vegan food can have plenty of saturated fat, I'm saying as someone who needs to watch their saturated fat intake due to high LDL. Can't find a "light" vegan ice cream.
Coconut and cocoa are sufficient.
Coconut oil contains a high percentage of fat from medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) . They are not the same fats found in butter, red meat or eggs. But you haven't shown MCTs increase testosterone levels. Maybe they don't..
My fertility was impaired in 1993. Vasectomy.
My friend Timothy tay is vegan and he subscribed to u unnatural vegan
👏🏼👏🏼
What I know for sure from reputable studies is that obesity reduces fertility. Although vegans can also be overweight, they are outnumbered by meat eaters.
How do we know a 5% reduction in weight increases test levels? Maybe increased test levels caused a 5% reduction in weight.
🙌🙌🙌 💯💯
Nope, it’s true; doing low-fat vegan knocks out my libido and erection stiffness if done for too long. Tried so many times. Not gonna try again.
Huberman isn’t a total quack (and I gotta say unrelated hes so handsome lol) but the whole thing around the pro-saturated fat crowd is that it’s very coded for pro-Red meat and dairy.
A lot of people only think you can get adequate saturated fat from animal fats/tallow and high fat dairy.
Most oils have saturated fat. Vegan butters are made primarily with coconut and or palm oil. Avocados and the oil, nuts and seeds all have considerable levels of saturated fat.
I honestly try very hard to get less than I’m intaking because I do eat some kind of mix of hemp or pumpkin seeds, cook with olive oil and my crutch of desert (homemade or bought) is usually made with vegan butter or coconut oil.
So this whole “the vegans don’t eat saturated fat” is so wired. And I’m tired of hearing people fervently claim a vegan diet is so high in fat and that it’s too low.
Magnesium is very easily to obtain plenty on a vegan diet. Zinc IS a little tougher but once you know what and how much to eat it’s definitely not too bad. DONT SKIP ON NOOCH, it has 2.2mg per 16g. Also mycomeats are considerably higher in zinc than some animal products of the same serving size.
I actually had NO idea until I looked it up but fish and shrimp are actually very low in zinc. Chicken and Turkey are kinda average that would be comparable to things like chickpeas lentils whole wheat nooch pumpkin and hemp seeds.
Red meat is slightly higher but not that much that it blows things out of the water.
The only animal sources that are high in zinc are crab, oysters, mussels, snails, lobster. And there are apparently so vegans who don’t consider these bivalves sentient and jury is still out on that. I’d rather err on the side of caution and not. Plus not a big fan of any of those. Lobster is alright but expensive and also no they’re adorable and intuitive creatures.
So while yes it’s you probably shouldn’t shrug zinc, animal sources aren’t uniformly magic. Which is the whole thing we fight against. Animals don’t provide us with unique sources of nutrients we can’t obtain elsewhere.
I DO think however we do need to be making vegan food producers a big more cognizant of this.
🙏🙏
Recommends plant compounds....😅
Got an infertility awareness ad while watching this. Back off youtube, stop tracking what I watch so much
💓
I am an athletic vegan around his age. This is nonsense. I eat a lot of nuts and seeds. My protein and fat intake is probably the same as his, though I’d argue his exogenous testosterone intake is high compared to mine (zero). My total test was just under 800 last year. At some point I will need HRT for sure, but my guess is that, if you created a sample set of vegan athletic men like me and another like him, you will see our total test levels remaining high later in life than theirs, even when you normalize for drug abuse.
And I would add for other men.. I am not even 100% certain you need such high testosterone for hypertrophy. It just shouldn’t be low. Furthermore, the cost I pay to do this is that my cholesterol levels are high normal range, which for a vegan should be frightening. That’s what saturated fat does to you. I have recently cut back on saturated fats and notice no difference in performance or speed of progression. I only specifically train for hypertrophy once per year, though, so I cannot really speak for bodybuilding here.
what about libido after starting the vegan lifestyle?
@@eddyerle3338 No difference for me, though I have seen papers that claimed to have detected higher testosterone levels in vegan men.
I love being vegan. That's all.
Can you talk about Dr. Neal Barnard?
In one of your response videos to Ellen Fisher, you talk about how important it is to go through your content and pull stuff you no longer agree with and you mention pulling a video that recommends Dr. Neal Barnard because you don't recommend him as a credible source of information. But now you're quoting him, and I wonder why the change?
Ye nutrition is definitely outside this dude's wheelhouse
At some point it's ego, not knowledge.
Why is it funny when he is right? The funny part is when you have no sex drive on a low ANIMAL fat diet then you think it is a joke on yourself
For some time I could open up my UA-cam app, watch a few reviews on specific electronic items, fall asleep and wake up to Jordan Peterson videos.
FFS, why?
Now if I fall asleep watching YT I wake up to this guy.
Who are you and why are you here?
I’m not too far into your video but even if it was true that saturated fats boost t levels, this guy acts like you can’t get those on a vegan diet? Some of my favorite vegan dishes are loaded in saturated fat (yes I know not the best LOL).
I know that not enough healthy fats are bad for fertility, but we are talking such low amounts of fats, like you’d really have to be irresponsible and going out of your way to avoid fat.
Also I love your channel and I wish you and your kids good health and lots of happiness!
He should check out Mic the Vegan's lab numbers and Simnett's Nutrition's body!
But they both look sick.
@@eulalia3446 what???🤣🤣🤣
Huberman and his "some" but no actual levels or % of calories is rather infuriating.
cant your body produce its own saturated tfrom carbs
Numbers on papers doestn really matter, what matter is results and ur wellbeing, like people are so obsessed about the numbers lol. If ur libido is fine, u have strength and energy u be fine.
If he represents testosterone, I'll stick to my plant oestrogens lol.
Swayze, I love you and I love Andrew. And although I'm super grateful that you've made this video debunking in a rational and reasonable manner a portion of what he has claimed, it seems to me that the video creates a bit of a limited representation of who Andrew is. I read the comments right now and some of them clearly refer to him as someone who's against veganism. He is not - he is just not a vegan. He has in fact mentioned veganism and vegetarianism a few times if not many times across his hundreds of podcast episodes in a very respectful manner. Whenver he recommends injesting certain animal-based foods to get certain results, or choosing particular supplements that are not vegan, he has also mentioned similar plant-based options in case people do not find the 1st line suggestions ethical. He has also clearly stated that various ways of eating, including the vegan diet, could be beneficial both in general and with regards to addressing particular health concerns.
I'm definitely not trying to argue, I just think this snippet of Andrew speaking is just about the worst basis for a first impression and there's much more to this person in terms of the accuracy of the info he provides and the contribution he is making. He is also someone who corrects himself publically (e.g. at the end of podcast episodes) when it has been brought to his attention that he has made a mistake or has been suboptimally accurate in what he has said.
If testosterone is a concern just take steroids, that oughta do it
Whether you’re vegan or not, and or you can see yourself as vegan; but there are reasons you can’t. It is always good to do your own research, and at times I agree with; while also disagreeing with you I just love that you actually support your arguments with quality sources. I just dislike it when I know a lot about a topic, and someone thinks I’m wrong; but can’t find reasonable evidence to support their points. Also with the topic at hand his argument in my opinion is not that arguable, I see correlation to a point; but I don’t see the ending result of the causation. Which you already proven 7 minutes into this 14+ video that I’m still watching.
Having kids probably has some negative effect on longevity due to more worries and less sleep, so the low fat people might have a point 😅
Yes it's true.
Should I sacrifice my arteries for a higher level of testosterone?
Doesn't lead to baldness too?
Saturated fat doesn't clog arteries
@@Teutonick143 The consensus among world-leading researchers is that too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in your blood, which can increase your risk of developing coronary heart disease.
Saturated fat can increase the LDL cholesterol in your blood which can cause fatty material to build up in your artery walls.
Decades of research have proved that a diet rich in saturated fat increases ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol in your blood, which puts you at greater risk of a heart attack or stroke.
A coronary artery blocked with fatty plaque causes heart muscle to die as it becomes starved of oxygen.
But, most of all, animal fats are part of animals' bodies & is essential for them. They're not ours to murder, & their bodies are not ours to eat.
Anyone who thinks vegans can’t be strong just needs to go watch simnett nutrition 🤷🏻♀️
Huberman keeps making claims, zero citations.
If it quacks, its a quack
The only clips I've seen from him are in this video. I think a lot of diet advice is tailored to a specific group. Since he works with athletes this advice could be for people who are particularly lean. He did at one point correct himself to say 'sub caloric low fat diet'. Eating disorders are shockingly common in 'fitness enthusiasts'. I thought it was well established that very low body fat levels does negatively affect fertility? Though I totally agree healthy fat levels can be maintained without animal products and I may be way to generously assuming things about his views
😇😇
Yeaaah he was saying more and more bro science stuff lately, like breathing through the nose makes you more masculine or something. I can't say I'm surprised
How about taking it to a deeper level &, rather than argue the biology (which on their side is BS), discuss the equation of "manilessness" with slaughter, & the weaponization of eating meat (mostly on the Paleo-Libertarian/Paleo-Conservative Right) as a "right". For all the accusations of veganism, it's an appeal to emotional. A Freudian castration anxiety.
😉😉😉💭
While being extremely thin is obviously bad... Saturated fat should be limited.
Just like in biological women/trans men... Being underweight is bad for fertility. Maintaining a healthy weight is the best non medical way to improve fertility.

Considering the disappointment to women I've been, down the years, maybe a reduced libido wouldn't be a bad thing?

I think he does know better. He just wants to sell shit😅😂
😆
💯💯🙇🙇🙇🗯🗯
I’m going to assume like most things, that the best thing with saturated fat is not to much and not to little.
Huberman may have done “research” but “research” skills in one area of science doesn’t transfer to another on which a practitioner isn’t trained. He is not qualified to be aiding men with low testosterone levels, as he is a neuroscientist not an endocrinologist.
I think you could call him a quack. In my opinion any doctor, no matter what type, or how good they are in one area, that steps outside of consensus on a medical or scientific subject and claims expertise based on non-consensus data is a quack 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆. For example, Dr. Oz was considered a very good heart doctor, but he is now considered a quack because he has stepped outside of scientific consensus so many times that it really doesn’t matter that he was once a pioneer in heart surgery, it only matters that currently his opinions are harmful, same with Huberman, his opinions could be medically harmful because he has stepped out of his area of expertise and isn’t going with consensus.
It's not that confusing - he wants clout and money. BiOhAcKiNg is in right now.
