- I recently measured my testosterone level and the result was quite high. As I am not taking any hormone therapy I think this must be lifestyle based. I have a look at what I think are the reasons.

are you saying you wake up in the morning with wood....? Really?
I still do some stronger than other and im 48 years old man
WHo do you do your blood tests with in the UK? What company
Where s my reply from modern health plan just because I'm doing what I want and still getting results your a waste of my time
I’m 65, my total testosterone was 798, my free testosterone was 89.9. My Dr said it could be genetic that it was this high but I think it has much to do with the fact I exercise and eat a lot of healthy fat like eggs, avocados, grass fed/finished beef. I feel really great
Thanks for sharing. Cool, that sounds good. I will check my free T at the test.
Same here, I race and train hard, 66, never smoked, no drugs, no prescriptions, lean, high protein and fat diet, fasting. About 5 hrs is all I need. No ED. It’s understood that inactivity like siting around is not good. When I was in the hospital on my back for 7 days, unrelated, T test showed I wasn’t even what I thought I was. I’m loosing muscle mass but have not been able to hit the weights. Gained it back quickly surprisingly, just over a few months, last year. Peace from USA.
@@ModernHealthspancarnivore center diet!!!
I'm personally tired of the genetic argument for everything that can't easily be explained by MD (Managers of Diseases) quacks.
Statistical norms are not necessarily a reflection of what should be normal. Obesity is the norm, but not normal.
@@And1Mell i do think whats in your DNA makes a huge difference. There are other controllable factors like diet, exercise, etc. I think it’s proven resistance training can elevate T levels and so can eating healthy fats. Cholesterol has been demonized but its know that every cell in your body needs it to be healthy, even the standard lipid test is being challenged by lipid experts saying that its pretty worthless-at predicting heart disease. Usually any issues with the body often have a family history including endocrine issues. Anyway the best to you.
I am 76 Richard and my testosterone is 935 (32.42), no patches etc. just a healthy lifestyle. Running 7-9 x week incl. HIT, strength training 3-5 x week, similar supplements to you and Siim, no processed food or alcohol for 48 years. Biological age from blood test is 57, VO2max also 57, BP 107/67, HRmax 184, rest 39, RE 178. A bit of an outlier; competitor calls me a freak of nature. Oh, and I have no visceral fat around my organs.
PS Long endurance running such as ultras does lower testosterone but studies say normal levels return in 3-5 days and the body is stronger.
No TRT??
Hi thanks for sharing. That is an impressive number. Seems you are doing all the right things! Your VO2 max is really good as well.
@@ModernHealthspan Richard, my HIT consists of 6-8 x 8 second hill sprints with 5 minute rests so PCR system can recover (per Andrew Snow in Run Elite) plus 2-3 x 25 seconds flat out sprints on a spin bike on a hard setting with 3 minute luxurious rests (per Dave Asprey's protocol).
@@QuantumOfSolace1 Certainly not.
Doubtful no TRT
Congrats Richard! Your efforts are paying off. Based on your experience, I'll be paying more attention to incorporating more resistance and HIIT. Cheers!
Hi Armando, thanks! I hope it works for you!
I'm 79 years old , never measured my testosterone levels, but the only way I know that my levels are high, is because almost every morning my member is in high alert.
Thanks
I’m 199 years old and my testosterone is at 9000 ng / dl. I’m not sure why I weigh 300 lbs at 3.333 % bodyfat and bench press 1200 lbs for reps and jog over 100 miles per day. Doctors are scared of me …
199 years? Are your eyes OK?
@@Drnekoeei I can see though lead
Its a shame youre female really😂
@@alphasaiyan5760 I piss lava
Ha ha ha 😂
Good video. Not what I thought it would be. Thank for sharing that personal info. 🙏
Im 45 years. Im happy to see videos like this. Motivation video.
Hi Senthil, thanks! It is great to be able to help!
PS. For testosterone tracking, be sure to get blood drawn same time of day, 8am for example, as T varies a bit throughout the day. If I recall correctly it will be lower by late morning vs early morning.
Hi Peter, thanks for sharing. I was not really aware of that before, but by chance I always get my blood drawn around 9:00 am (when the clinic opens). Not sure if that counts as early or late morning!
Richard, thank you for this video. Based on your information and the genuine comments here. ( disregarding the jokesters comments) These methods you describe are attainable by many of us. Being in my 60’s I have followed much of this and have experienced higher T and better mental benefits as well. Thanks again!
Good for you Richard, thanks for sharing.
Hey Ron, thanks!
Great info! Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm 54, but I can attest to the weight lifting regime. It truly does turn back the clock in many ways. I also supplement with niacin at night as well to boost NAD levels. Much cheaper and more effective, in my opinion, than NMN. I don't do HIIT routines, but I do walk quite a bit each day.
This is great and authentic information. My levels are low and I think it is related to my life style and work. I will at least include the resistance exercise in my daily routine. In my opinion exposure to too much emf though computer etc does effect our TT.
It's fantastic to hear that your hard work is starting to show results. Your dedication and persistence are truly paying off.
I completely agree with you about incorporating more resistance and HIIT into your routine. They're incredibly effective in boosting strength, endurance, and overall fitness levels. Plus, they keep things interesting and challenging, which is always a good thing when it comes to staying motivated and seeing progress. Here's to your continued success! Cheers to a healthier, fitter you!
Hi Richard
I saw this video when you initially posted it and thought Bravo !!!
And expected same for me as I’m also 62 and on ALL the DoNotAge supplements
I’m also very very muscular and lean with a six pack and a very youthful appearance
I do resistance training and am very strong and then some
So in my vanity I thought I’d be high T
Well …..
My test just came back
Slightly high blood pressure
High cholesterol
And here’s the shocker after being on DNA supplements and extremely good diet and other supplements
My free Testosterone is
41
I’m panicking
My sleep has been terrible for 5 years
Due to very high situational stress
But still
41?
I’m in total despair and hoping to find hope here so I’ll listen again
Thank you for your excellent channel
Richard, at 69 my TT is also consistently high, over 700 ng/dL. But my Free T is a bit low and seems to be correlated with my high SHBG. I've found a number of dietary influences which might be why my SHBG is high and am working on shifting it lower to assess effect on Freet T. I exercise daily, walking (6 miles+) and light weights (3 to 15 lbs). No HITT and no heavy weights. Do not take NMN or NR. Plant based diet with a little fish. No dairy or meat so I do not have high saturated fat - lots of mono and PUFA. BMI 24 to 25. Sleep about 6 h/night but REM and deep sleep average over an 1 h each. I'll go back to my notes and post dietary impacts on SHBG/Free T later.
Explain to me what benefits come from lowering saturated fats?
I've been carnivore for almost 3 years now and I feel great. I feel the best when I eat high fat meals with zero sugar and zero carbs.
@@jdholbrook33 I'm not the one to "explain" anything to you. I just gave some of my stats which might be related to my TT level and shows that at my age I can have high TT without meat or intense exercise. Richard claims that Johnson's plant based diet lowered his TT requiring replacement. Maybe, but I am a counterexample and 20 years older. I eat low sat fats (and zero to low simple carbs) based on what the professionals recommend, not bro-science guys.
Just take boron as Borax. This will lower your SHBG, prevent arthritis, and provide other healthful effects.
Hi Peter, thanks for sharing. Great to see that you have a good level. I need to test my SHBG and figure out my Free T so I have proper data on that. You are doing well, and interesting that you are getting that number without heavy resistance training. But that was only my best guess as the reason for my levels. For reference the study which looked at the fat in the diet is here www.nature.com/articles/s41430-023-01358-9. WRT Bryan Johnson, I had heard that his T was low and that seemed to be what his web site was saying, though I think he mostly ascribes this to the CR rather than vegetarian diet.
@@ModernHealthspan Richard, sorting out cause and effect for hormone anomalies is not always easy as you know. Suggest a complete male hormone panel and try to carefully relate to lifestyle factors. Repeat over time. I still haven't sorted mine, but more data can't hurt and may help. Thanks for study link.
Thank you Richard, this was def a helpful and beneficial video, much appreciated.
Hi Thanks! Greatly appreciate the kind comment!
Kudos on your high testosterone, Richard. Just wanna point out that a man's overall physical and emotional response to testosterone levels can be largely individual. One person can be energetic, maintain energy, sexual function and positivism with relatively low testosterone, whereas another person with the same level may experience deficits in these areas. A person on testosterone therapy should have their doctor monitor various blood markers, such as cholesterol and blood sugar, as they can be affected by testosterone augmentation.
Hi Joe, thanks for sharing. Definitely something to be aware of.
64 years of age mine is 925. I lift 3 days a week,do HIIT 2 days a week, Barre training with my wife, and Zone 2 training 5-6 days a week.
Excellent details - many thanks. 👍
Hi thanks!
Impressive! I'm almost 60 and lead a very healthy lifestyle as well but have had some extenuating circumstances that seem to ne out of my control that have depleted my testosterone so I "am" on TRT/HRT and s a result my testosterone levels are actually a little higher than those stated here. I would like to overcome the issues that have caused my testosterone depletion and get off of TRT but am not sure it's possible.
Thankfully my therapy is based on extensive blood work and my provider is VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE about hormonal balance and physiological wellness overall.
Additionally, TRT and HRT are relatively inexpensive and according to all the research I've done appear to be safe and effective.
Hi Bryant, thanks for sharing. And glad the TRT is working for you.
Good Richard . I have tried many protocols over the decades. What currently works for me is resistance traini and qigong exercises. , Supplements are coenzyme q10 paired with magnesium, vitamin b complex. Tmg, vitamin d combined with.fish oil , and plenty of garlic with meals. Result , consistent morning glories which has unfortunately raised my ego as I’m 70 years of age . Best of health to everyone 😎
Hi thanks for sharing! Looking good.
You have lovely sense of humour ! What is Tmg ?

Wonderful 😂❤ thanks so much 🙏 very informative 👍 good luck Sirus London
Hi Sirius, thanks!
Hi Richard, I am 65. I feel quite fit, but I am not exercising, except for some walking. I walk 5000-steps on average daily.
My fat intake consists of animal fat; grass fed butter, fat on red meat, fatty fish, DHA+EPA olive oil. My omega 6:3 ratio recently tested: 1.4:1!
I tested testosterone when I was 61: 663 ng/dl.
A few years ago I started taking 10 mg elemental boron per day. Recently I tested for free testosterone: 92 pg/ml = 9.2 ng/dl.
(I started to take boron against arthritis and it is very effective. I take it as a home-made supplement; a very diluted borax solution.
Boron is anti-inflammatory, anti mold, regulates calcium, magnesium and phosphorus levels in the body, it also increases free vitamin d3 and *free testosterone*.
I dissolve 9 grams of borax in 500 ml water, 5 ml of this solution equals 10 mg B. It tastes soapy and I take it in a glass of water, a cup of coffee or through my food..
Recently I learnt that this dose may lower riboflavin or vitamin B2, so I lowered my boron intake to 3 mg as an effective maintenance dose.)
Great info. Will cut alcohol and try to stabilise sleep pattern. Do sone farmwork, some resistance trainingv3x a week and do walk and take long hikes 1x a week. I do eat well and rarely do processed foods. An 49.
Hi Richard is this mainly due to the Lipo NMN you take? Or do you think that other supplements are the cause?
Hi thanks for your question. Unfortunately I am not sure. As I outlined in the video I am doing a few things which may increase T levels and the evidence for raising NAD strongly affecting them is not clear. I don't think it would be any other supplement that I take as none of them are related to hormones (that I am aware of) apart from Vitamin D.
@@ModernHealthspan Ok, so as usual body processes are not easy to understand. Recently, we bought a infrared cabin and I guess this helps also to increase T levels. I am 2 years older than you and hope to reach your T levels😅. I use NMN but not the lipo version. I think it is better to switch to lipo nmn. Do you think that your biological age is mainly determined by the Lipo NMN?
How do i go about getting tested and ( assuming a doctor visit) do i ask for a specific test to cover all bases?
Very interesting! I was surprised to see similar levels for myself and I have been wondering why. As I understand we are using quite similar supplements.
Hi Lars, thanks for sharing. Not sure which of the supplements would help but my list is quite standard.
@@ModernHealthspan yes would be very interesting to know. My current guess is that nmn does its part.
When inwaa a teenager my T was considered in the average range. I am aged 24 now but my T is significantly lower now. I have poor quality sleep, with not much of it being deep or rem sleep. How much of a factor would this be?
Hi thanks for your question. I cannot say but you could look at this article (www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-does-sleep-impact-testosterone-why-matter-michael-breus) from Dr Michael Breuss. He does say that lack of REM sleep can impact T.
What brand of MNM do you take good sir ?
So do you feeling like a 20 year old stud?
I am in my late 60s, My experience to share:
1. In my fifties and early sixties my testosterone level dropped as well sesual desire.
2. after that I improved on my personal well being in 2 main areas: a. Extensive resistance training b. Taking vitamin mainly Vit. D. My testosterone level increased after that. I totally recommend Res. training and multivitamines, selective vitamine is preferable. I feel so much better as well.
I'm 65. My test level was 250 in October of 2022. In early December of 2023 my level was 400. I've been taking NMN daily for 16 months.
I will begin an exercise regime to try and increase it even more. Presently I just walk to the corner and back every evening (about 20 minutes worth).
Don't discount the fact that NMN may be lowering the age of your testosterone production mechanism.
I can say that several of my body processes seem to have "aged backwards". Specifically my urine tract, brain, eyes and heart.
All are working better today than they were before NMN.
Hi James, thanks for sharing and congratulations on having the higher number. I think resistance training will help. Interesting about the NMN. Dr Sinclair may have some non-public data which shows that NMN does increase testosterone (he certainly knows more about it than I do!) however, I could not find any papers on it. I did find one blog which made various claims, but the linked papers were not related to NMN and testosterone.
Since you are making this a spe ial focus of yours - you might consider on your next testosterone test to also get a measure of your Free Testoterone for an accurate measurement and rely not a general approximation for your decision making. There are things you can do to increase free testosterone if you find it lower than you'd like.
Keep up the good work, Richard.
Hi Brian, thanks for sharing. Yes, I think I should do that at least once, to confirm that my Free T is in the normal ratio. I will add it to my next test and let you know how it goes.
I don't know why my comment on how to reduce the conversion testosterone to estrogen was deleted. It was backed by a study.
Thank you for sharing! Not only good information, but this is very thought-provoking and yes, trying to find a root cause to challenge and also is this desirable. I think testosterone is desirable for the reasons you stated, indirectly fighting Sarcopenia.
I would hazard, I guess your compound movements of dead lift and squats are significant contributors.
By way of background I went on testosterone therapy a few years ago when I was about 48 I did not like it, it worked for sure, but it was too much and I felt it was Not sustainable.
Personally, the only thing I do is peptides such as a ipamorelin sirmorelin type mixes a pretty low doses like 100 µg injection in the evening and this might increase testosterone. The endogenous GH increase is not directly for testosterone, but I’m trying to mimic some of the results from the doctor Fahey TRIMM studies, so I’m also doing 500 mg of Metformin and DHEA I think 100 milligrams. This is primarily to regenerate the thymus for the all important T cell leukocytes to be in proper order; there’s supposed to be testosterone increase with GH increase.
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing. Sounds very interesting and great that you have access to some of the drugs Good luck with your efforts. Have you thought about how you will measure to see if the thymus has regrown at all? Or do you have other end points you are looking at as well?
@@ModernHealthspan that’s a great question and quite frankly no, I wish I could measure more effectively. I haven’t invested in the MRI before and After. But I’m also doing so many concurrent Sandra Kaufmann supplements . It’s more of a kitchen sink approach without really identifying isolated causality. It’s really the way it has to be as a sample size of one (me)and not isolating factors.
Fantastic data, Richard. Have you measured SHBG?
❤ good to see you here!
Hi Dr Lustgarten, thanks and good to see you. No, I did not measure SHBG yet, but I think that I will on my next test. It would be good to get a complete picture on the T levels.
Pls ,what do you mean by SHBG ?
@@panoramatv6294 Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. Testosterone gets locked into it and can't be used effectively. The challenge is to release it.
@@panoramatv6294 sex hormone binding globulin. It’s what binds to testosterone and doesn’t allow it to be used by the body. This is why total test levels are so high compared to free testosterone levels. Free test levels are what’s remaining after SHBG has bound up the majority of the total test levels in the body.
Cold, cold showers first thing in the mornings will do the job to keep you young.
Hi thanks for sharing. I do take cold showers (though not in the morning) but I did not think that helped with T specifically. But I do agree that they are good for you!
@ModernHealthspan my shaman, great grandfather, said to soak maca root powder in water all night and drink it after your cold shower in the morning. You can now purchase the maca root powder at Sprouts or Trader Joe's. The darker the maca root powder, the better because it's been in the ground growing longer the darker it is. Do not take if you have high blood pressure. You have to be somewhat healthy to take the maca root. You'll become a Superman.
A cold shower that's to decrease your wanting sex who in their right mind would do that
It’s not necessarily the time of day it’s shocking the system in general so jumping in really cold water for about 30 seconds to a minute maybe two minutes also going for a walk and then suddenly sprinting as fast as you can for about 10 to 15 seconds and then just stop and walk normal it’s those things that Spring, the body into action and rebuild cellular structures.
Congrats Richard, but of course it would be good to know what were the levels years before, you did not measure that for the first time, right?
Hi thanks for your question. Yes it would have been good to have a history of previous measures, but it was my first time. I will measure them again at my next test.
You didn’t mention sunlight. Do you get plenty of that?
Im 70 and i eat Regenarative ground beef almost everyday. I eat a lot of organic frozen blueberries with plain GRASS FED yogurt and i cook my eggs with Beef TALLOW or ghee.❤
Not mentioned to raise testosterone may be a little politically incorrect in the west, however, the type of woman by your side has an impact.
2000 was normal in the 1940's. I’m 62, my total testosterone was 196, up from 8. I think having been dead more than 5 min. and severe injuries from being hit buy a drunk driver and stress are contributing factors.
I had trouble understanding which supplement you said you take 1 gram a day of? Great video, BTW!
NMN?
@@inspyr9 So on November 4, 2022, the FDA issued a controversial letter withdrawing NMN's previous designation as a dietary supplement and removing it from the dietary supplement category. This decision stems from the ongoing review of NMN as a potential drug.
Guess it must be working then..?
Perhaps you should have tested for the aromatase enzyme and estrogen, since estrogen can be made from testosterone via that enzyme, especially since you have high levels of testosterone which means more possibility of estrogen aromatizing from the testosterone. If your aromatase is high, aromatase enzyme inhibitors, whether natural or prescription should be used.
He may also have almost no estradiol, which would also give him much higher testosterone since it is not being aromatized into estradiol
@@kennyphelps1160 Possibly, but without testing for estrogen or aromatase, he has no idea if that 'high' testosterone is converting some into estrogen. Most men in his age group have higher than average aromatase enzymes. At the very least, he should be using some natural aromatase inhibitors. At best, should be testing his estrogen levels, which I don't recall him mentioning.
Thank you sir.
Considering how you've had Dr. Tan on your show and how you've done your own video on GG, I was shocked when you didn't mention it as one of your supplements. Are you not taking it? It helps to raise testosterone.
It would’ve been the ultimate troll job if he got to hormone replacement therapy, and said, yeah, I’m on TRT.
I don't believe any of this bs without being on TRT.
I am 77 , married to a filippino and she sure keeps my hormones poppin .
Filipino is a he. Filipina is a she.
Sometimes when hormones are significantly higher then expected it means you can have cells producing them too active or growing i number. Worth to test for tumor.
Are you vegan vegetarian or omnivore? What’s your diet?
Can I go to a clinic and just ask for a testosterone level check?
I am 78 and my testosterone is 935, healthy diet and good sleep
What is your diet?
Do you take wine ?
define a healthy diet.
I gotta check when I should get tested.
I am 87. My T level in the early morning is 920. In mid afternoon it is 610. I am healthy, sleep well, and generally have a high energy level. I am sexually active with a very high labido
gracias
Thanks for the info. My T level hasn't improved from 125 no matter what I have done including injections in 15 years.
Chicken fish and lots of veggies. I stay away from processed as much as possible. Sleep is poor quality maybe 5 hours a night. I no longer exercise or walk as I have no energy. Also intermittent fasting eating on demand 6am thru noon only. Lots of water.
Hi Kip, thanks for sharing. That does not sound good. It is strange that exogenous T does not help. I hope that you find a solution.
You are looking good
I am amused by all the DIYers in the comments. There are trained professionals who study for years to understand the incredibly complex hormonal system of the body. These endocrinologists should be consulted before anyone starts wasting money in magic powders or injecting themselves with anything. I have to say that for anyone to be at 1000 in their 60s or 70s (albeit free T is more important) is hard to believe. I know people on TRT in their 40s who have gone up to a max of 1000 under medical supervision and they say they feel like superman and I have seen their athleticism absolutely transformed by this level.Despite the conclusion of the presenter it is incredibly unlikely that weight training and diet/sleep are driving his T number. I know plenty of people who live like this in their 60s myself included and their T is not that of a 20 year old. Much more probable it’s genetics.
Interesting, Richard, following you for a while, you look young for 62 indeed.
Hi Sparkling, thanks!
I’m 47 and my number is 887 and I never had lower than 850
At 47, my test is 1020 ng/dL with free test also high. Interesting because i eat mostly plant based a lot of tofu and beans only meat being some fish. Im actually wondering if it is too high for optimal longevity. You would never guess i have high t, lift weights but still on thin side, no balding, beard isnt especially thick.
Hi thanks for sharing. Looks good. For balding, you need to have the gene variant and the high T for it to happen.
a plant based diet lowers t levels get your self back on the meat its what we are meant to be eating
You should check your estrogen. If its high, it means the T is just being converted to estrogen and not doing much good.
Its the ratio of the two that's important.
I 'm a decade younger than you and my testosterone level is 256! I guess my sleep is not that good:-(. Will work on it, thanks for the info.
Hi Jose, thanks for the comment and good luck with your efforts!
Half a teaspoon of Magnesium citrate in a glassful of water before bed makes me sleepy within half an hour. Good for the kidneys, good for bowel evacuation.

Which supplements? What’s your diet? What T level?

Hi Greg, thanks for sharing. Sounds great. Do you think that any of your supplements help with the your T levels?
@@ModernHealthspan I’m pretty sure they do . Herbs are amazing, that’s why they’ve been around for thousands of years. They seem to affect my free t the most . When I see my doctor for regular checkups he always lists my meds and supplements and at the end says does that cover them all , I respond with , that’s part of them , he just laughs. I make sure to gap all supplements and take a break for a week occasionally. My top picks for t boosters are , Long Jack , Horny Goat Weed , Maca Root , Ginkgo Biloba , Ginseng , and Black Ginger only grown in Thailand or Laos . But other sups could contribute 🤔

I`m 67 years male. I have high muscle mass without training. Weight 100 kg. I did 66 squats in minute couple years ago. Is testosterone level high?
The simple fact that you chose to lift weights like that means that your testosterone is fine?
Hi thanks for the question. My understanding is the only way to tell is to get the test done. They are many markers which can be high or low with no clinical effect (in the short term). Just got to get them tested.
My age 58 tesotereone level 500
Is correct?
I have high T at 876 aged 55. I do have symptoms of 'low T' so I had my estradiol tested at the same time and it was at almost zero. High T alone is only part of the jigsaw
If you have almost no estrogen, that’s part of why you have symptoms and it’s also why you’re free testosterone is so high while you obviously don’t want high estradiol you do want some
I totally agree. It's taken me a long time to find the issue because as a general rule, men concentrate on increasing T levels and worry about elevated estrogen levels. My doctor put me on TRT with the idea that I would convert excess T into estrogen but it doesn't work like that. I had to stop because TRT made things worse. my BP was 185/90. Back to the drawing board

What do you do for fitness ?
@@swavyhighlights2770 I workout with heavy weights 3 to 4 times a week and eat cleanly getting in all my macros each day. Oh and plenty of sleep to

So is it for 30s or like a 20 year old?
Hello doctor,I am 24years old from Myanamar I have erectile dysfunction. i am virgin 😢😢 it has been 8months please hlep me😢🙏
65 and Tes5ateron level at 31 tha is said to be far 2 high ...
I don't get it. I'm healthy best weight, strong , no medications and the result says too high ....¿¿
What do you do in terms of training ? And daily routine I’m curious as I’d want mine to be high too
I'm 28, and I think I need to cut down stupid supplements and be more consistent with exercise and HIIT
I’m 50. Tried all supplements. Save your money and invest in red meat, eggs and grass fed butter. You’ll thank me later 😊
Stay away from porn too!

your control of your weight is probably as important, if not more so, as your erercise and sleep is.
"I am assuming my free testosterone is in the normal 1-2% range"
Yeah, but you shouldn't assume that, you should measure it. Plenty of things can significantly push it down and free T is far more important than total.
Hi Herman, thanks for your comment. I should and will. Have not done so far for a couple of reasons, getting this kind of measurement done in Hong Kong is quite expensive and I don't have symptoms of incorrect T levels so it was not a high priority.
@@ModernHealthspan Yep that's fine but then the argument would be against testing it at all.
I don't know why you don't measure your SHBG and free/bioavailable testosterone. SHBG can be very high for example because of genetics.
Hi thanks for the suggestion. I will get it done next time. I measured my T the first time out of curiosity and to check that it was OK but I didn't have any symptoms of high or low T so did not feel the need for the extra expense to check the Free T
@@ModernHealthspan For example PathLab test code AG03 includes SHBG.
Tonkat Ali is a must
Cause twenty year
Old males today have approx. 50% testosterone levels than 20 year old males in the 1960’s. These 20 year old males from the 60’s are now in their 70’s.

Will Brian Johnson take the testosterone patch for life?
Trimethylglycine tmg may increase testosterone levels
Damn a lot of elder gentlemen(60+) in the comments with 700+ tests. Fair play
Ours also healthy life without errections, iam 57, capable of doing all repairs excluding hard work.
It's about total testosterone. your SHBG goes up as you age which causes your free testosterone to drop. Your free testosterone should be 2% to 4% of a healthy total testosterone. So yours, being a healthy total, should have about 21 ng/dL. There are guys with a 400 ng/dL that feel better than another person with 800 ng/dL. but the person with a higher free testosterone will feel much better and respond much better to the testosterone. SHBG is affected by age, diet, lifestyle, and the shape you are in. The more areas you lack, the higher your SHBG, and the lower your free testosterone. Bound testosterone is important, but so is the right amount of free testosterone.
How do raise free testosterone
What do you mean by SHBG pls?
@@kasimojohn2017 As I mentioned above, except that you can't do anything about your age. I looked after everything, but at about 50 years old everything began to get just a little bit harder. Finally, at 60 years old after trying everything under the sun, I started testosterone treatments. within about a month EVERYTHING was back to normal. Energy, brain function, sleep, personal drive, sex drive, ect
@@panoramatv6294 Sex Hormone Binding Globulin. Most of your testosterone is bound in proteins for transportation of testosterone throughout the body. You need your protein transported, but you need a small amount left free for some very important functions. It's this small amount that is free to give you your manly feelings, growth, sex drive, and energy. Too much SHBG ties up too much testosterone. You need SHBG, but too much SHBG is not good. Too much SHBG is caused from an unhealthy lifestyle, sickness, or caused from age. When a person is living a healthy life, and age influences his testosterone, that person can benefit from testosterone therapy.
@ianbrown5955 thanks man. But I don't have any problems because of it like lack of energy or drive. Holding plenty of muscle. Going to try some natural approaches I have heard about. They know that test supplementation can be good In the beginning and make it worse on the long run. My free is on the borderline not low as of yet. I was fasted 48 hours as well when I took the test so I wonder if that had an effect
Are there any disadvantages of high T? The possibility of losing hair or difficulty controlling rage and criminal behavior are two that come to mind. Can anyone think of anything else? Since T goes down with age, perhaps there’s a healthy reason for that such as decreasing cancer risk or some thing.
Common belief of women and beta males…quite the opposite. Lack of testosterone increases rage and inability to handle stress.
Criminal behavior is caused by lack of opportunities and poverty not high T.
@@stephenwonghongweng4298 There are tons of people without opportunities and poverty who do not commit crimes! In my days as a young man, it took many years to get my career going and I eventually succeeded without committing crimes, although it might have been a shortcut to success, but it would have been wrong and a violation of my conscience. So no, poverty and lack of opportunity doesn't force anyone to commit crimes; it results from wrong choices, abuse of one's freewill.
@@stephenwonghongweng4298 The criminal behavior I was talking about are acts of uncontrolled rage and violence. The Wikipedia article on T suggests this as a downside of having too much. In fact I recall reading that many violent criminals have high T.
I recently found out that testosterone in prescription form comes with a black box warning against heart disease. Apparently, testosterone will increase hematocrit two levels high enough to cause the blood to slush and become too thick. This would take place either with Naturally high testosterone or through Supplementation. I also read that the reason men die about seven years before women the same age is because of the negative affect testosterone has on the immune system.
Well done bro..mine tested...1756...on blood test...im 63...i feel great..and super charged hot...clinicaly tested

I've never seen a panel like that, especially at your age, as a natural? What dietary and supplementary regime do you follow? I'm curious now
I’m 69 and I don’t know what my t numbers are but a few years ago they said it was “fine” , whatever that means but sure as Hell don’t feel fine!!!😠
You said you’re taking 1 g of what as a supplement?
NMN?
I’m somewhat concerned that although I fall asleep readily enough, I tend to wake up four or six hours later and I will use the bathroom and then I have a hard time falling back asleep. I’d appreciate any suggestions anyone could make about this.
Try warm half cup Kefir. Microwave for 26 seconds
Meditation using slow belly breathing.
Magnesium glycinate. Take a horse pill in the morning upon waking and especially an hour before hitting the sack. Horse pill is about 250 mg.
It’s called life
Get a sleep test. Also Chinese medicine has the organ qi clock and you can try the healing sounds for the organs if you don’t have sleep apnea. Also vitamin d from the sun and grounding on the earth help
Dang I’m 54 and my testosterone is like a 180 year old so not good . At peak it’s 500 but that’s rare
I'm a 58 yr old male, and I hv similar findings..... 42.7 nmol/L or 1211 ng/dL. Zero physicians could care less including an endocrinologist, because they are busy treating low T. Oh well.
Cause there's nothing wrong with that unless you're under-muscled
Hi thanks for sharing, that looks like a good number. When I said 1000 ng/dL I was being conservative as I cannot find a definitive number that is considered "high".
What’s your diet? Any secrets to your high T? What’s your mindset/job?
What do you do for working out?
Diet and exercise do not seems to have much bearing on these numbers and I test them 2 to 3 times per year along with other assays. Even statins don't seem to affect any change. Again these are findings and I'm otherwise normal... I can maybe build muscle faster and might hv a temper.
@@swavyhighlights2770
No offense, but what good is a 30 year old's testosterone if you choose to live your life like a senior anyway?
( choose )?!
just curious how tall you are to have such bmI and weight
These numbers seem insanely high for any man over 60.
Sinclair just patented T, so either pay up or stop using it! 😂
I admit you look pretty buff and good for a 82 year old, you don't look a day over 70.
Bryan Johnson takes testosterone, but testosterone raises IGF-1 and mTor, so doesn't that go against the logic of doing a vegan diet and being in CR. Some of his supplement may lower IGF-1 and mTor, but it all seems contradictory.
he stopped using those patches after upping his fat intake or some similar change.
There's nothing wrong with raising IGF-1 and mTOR, just not in metabolically ill tissue that doesn't respond because the mitochondria or co-factors like NAD and whatever others are missing.
@@nootristill takes DHEA (50mg) I think
Hi Thanks for your comment. I see it that everything is a tradeoff, there is no "one best solution" so I can see that he could have interventions which have opposite effects on some markers. Interesting that he may have stopped taking T now.
