Testosterone levels went from DeLauer to DeHigher

Please don't change the thumbnail

Really great to hear an honest and personal perspective. Thanks for sharing it was really useful!

Thanks dear for being so open about this somewhat touchy subject

Excellent! Thomas. From Craig. UK.

Interesting video!

I did experiment on my self. Thank God i have absolutely amazing T at 50, thru exercise, 6/18 fasting, sodium bicarbonate with water at least 2hrs before meal, and zinc/selenium. For 6 months i drank hot cofe and water from plastic. My T halfed. I stopped with using plastic containers, my T returned to very, very high. You are welcome

Fascinating info! Another video fleshing out the whys & hows of keeping Cortisol lower in comparison to dhea, & also sex hormone binding globulin issues would be really handy & interesting. If anyone knows similar things re women, interviewing them would also be a good one.

Glad I watched this video. Was having a shake at like 10pm thought it was bad. Glad its good ill continue.

Thank you for explaining the flax/testosterone paradox.

Thanks buddy ❤

You kindof mentioned the most important part of testosterone: The unbinded testosterone aka Free T. I'm 59 with over 600 on my testosterone, but when I was doing pretty strict keto and working out extra hard I lost my libido. I tested high for T but the low carbs raised my SHBG(sex hormone binding globulin) thus lowering my free T. I increased my carbs, lowered my intensity, and I can hang a coat on it again:-)

Finally i have the same body type as Thomas!

My recent vacation to Japan opened my eyes. My T and libido was a lot higher than it was and is now. We walked around all day enjoying the sceneries and cultural differences with little stress, even though the sun wasn't beaming much. Now back home and inside the office, my T just tanked.

Can you do a video on steam rooms and benefits as well as saunas. I use both and I would love to know the best protocols

Excellent video, have you ever tried l-carnitine ? It supposedly increases androgen receptor numbers/sensitivity.

Exercise videos thrown in every once in a while would increase your Testosterone levels Thomas

I went from 334 to 960 in around 3 months. All natural. This book should be essential reading for all men. Written by a 50s guy with natural T levels of a 20s guy. Complete guide to testosterone by james Francis

"training legs helps increase testosterone" Me as a paraplegic...."damn"....lol

No worries Thomas. I hope you make a fortune. You always dish out way more knowledge than you get paid for.

Thanks for another great video Thomas. Which testosterone level are you talking about, total testosterone or free testosterone?

Hey, Thomas. What do you think of Polydextrose? It's a large part of many otherwise decent quality protein bars. The ingredient lists claim they're a prebiotic fiber, but information online says it's artificial.

Is there a blood test to show binding test at the receptor as opposed to serum test?

Thomas did not mention 2 more things 1. soy products especially GMO 2. plastic containers for hot food/drink Moreover, good T level means good basic immunity (no external testosterone please) due to what to form cholesterol, vitamin D (combo of sunlight and cholesterol), zinc, and selenium They're needed for testosterone production and optimize basic immunity (and add vitamin C)

Thumbnail. Seeing Tommy... w my gut! 🤣

Thanks for sharing! Very informative, and hopefully a mental cure to all these young guys edging to go on TRT. You are extremely muscular and achieved that normal testosterone levels. I speculate that you may have higher androgen receptor density, which elevates your T utilization.

Hey Thomas, I love your channel. Science and data are two things that KZfaq is sorely lacking. On this testosterone topic, I increased my testosterone from 320 to 709 in 9 months using HIIT and Intermittent fasting. I am a 60 year old ex-UGA football player on disability for spinal injuries. My workout is almost all floor exercises and bodyweight only.

The overtraining hit hard with me. I was told at Mayo, I had temporarily "burnt my adrenals." I had every side effect. Always tensed, super sleepy, but couldn't sleep, increase resting hr, higher cortisol, and a abnormal autonomic nervous system test. Now, on my record, I'm know to have a over "active sympathetic system." There has been nothing that helps but train less or less intense exercise(constant basketball)

Thanks bro ❤ am 50 and do very well same body type 5’8 1/2 I can go up to 200 muscle mass I use to but injuries “ disabled war veteran” I can not lift heavy . Walking yes sir . N yoga n stretching n swimming n light weight but kitchen is key . Appreciate you yes that pic is recent lmao diet plus FLORIDA sun shine 15 minutes at least every day sunshine many have vitamin D DEFICIENCY am at 180 Thick gotta drop about 10 pounds summer is coming I drop to 170 165 summer time all kitchen

I am not a guy but thank you for talking about the importance of sex in general for overall health. I feel like it's one of those things a lot of people are too ashamed to discuss, but it really is a HUGE basis of human health.

As a Australian i find most of this information is over the top. I think simplicity is the key and get some sun and do some walking everyday and enjoy your life and pray 🙏No one in Australia gets there T cells checked

Hey I was correct on sun shine awesome thanks 🙏 lol wooooo

What about oxalates in Flax ?

Im coming back from a long layoff. 2+ years. I havent lost too much muscle but ive put on a few pounds. Any advice on coming back to the gym/doing home workouts and utilizing muscle memory??

You never updated us about the results of the Tonkat Ali

Can you speak on semen retention and its effects on testosterone production?

Just knew fibre would be in there 🙄 they have found phytoestrogens from plant sterols in plaque in the arteries, it not only mimics oestrogen it mimics cholesterol too.

Thomas are you on trt?

Oily Fish, olive oil, brazil nuts, oats, whole eggs, cheese, cream, red meat in moderation, onions, ginger, cinnamon and full fat greek yogurt are my go to foods and spices for optimum testosterone. 4000 IU a day of Vitamin D3, 100mg of zinc per day - including foods in that total, 1000mg per day of magnesium - including food, 10mg per day of boron and 500mg a day of Fenugreek at 50% fenusides, 2000mg per day of l-carnitine, these are my staple supplements for optimum testosterone. Along with HIT training and daily brisk walking, at 46 my testosterone is higher than normal as i still feel like i'm in my early 20's but more muscler and ripped. As Thomas points out - try diet and activity first before going down the trt route - i've tried it and it's not a golden ticket unless your testicles have stopped working - i prefer the natural alternatives.

Add to that red light therapy

I'm 63 and my testosterone has always been over 1000, which is the high end of how they measure. I just had the test again a year ago and it's now around 900. I'm concerned it is going to continue in a downward spiral. Thank you for this video.

Damn DeLauer referencing MPMD is quite wild haha.

Does caffeine and pre-workouts affect testosterone overtime? I’m thinking it could disturb your sleep.

Makes me wonder if menopausal women should consume flax. Also do we get testosterone levels messed up ?

How do you guys deal with life stress? Breath work on lunch break? Hot shower at the end of the day? Comedy movies with the phone off? Write out all the shit on your mind and chest and leave it off to the side if the tasks are for tomorrow - then do something peaceful? What other ideas you got?

I just took a month off of TRT and got my level tested…130 😬

300 seems really low to me. Last time I got checked I was over 500, and that was mediocre for me. The lowest I’ve ever been was 174, during a very high stress low activity time. Normally I’m over 600. 300 seems pretty low. I know each individual has an Individual norm though, but still.

It gets complicated. I have 12 to 15 eggs a week. Mostly on the weekend and my good and bad cholesterol is low. So is my testosterone.

Does anybody know, if i can use, Flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, as a source of fats, to add to my daily intake of healthy fats, for training, i have been using this for a while now. thanks

training too hard or overtraining is so hard to gauge because it is so individualistic

Snoring 💤 is an issue lmao 🤣 broken nose 👃 many times .It’s a issue

"Not having sex" Well, shit! Not only I'm forever alone I'm forever fat😥

Not having sex increases my testosterone through semen retention. If you have sex without releasing you can really build it up.

Well legs store alot of testosterone so I’ve read but lower back n hip injuries sciatica is a literally pain in the arse legs are tough do em get hurt on the shelf to doing nothing

👍🏼

Paul stack commercials are getting annoying 😅😅😅

Like just for thumbnail!

Good sad Batman impression

Yes, working out the larger muscles on your body increases testosterone the most .

So weird u just dropped this video, the NHS have literally just messaged me saying they won’t no longer help me cause I’m considered as normal at 8.9 nmol/L anything above 8.6 apparently is fine but I’m experiencing all the symptoms at 40years of age. I’m at my wits end, my 1st bloods was 1.97, second was 8.9 n third 8.85

A nagging unhappy wife is the worst thing for testosterone ever!

Still not sure why theres a can of tuna on the thumbnail.

The chicken ofcourse.

So I need to walk 4 miles per day? Can't.

Are you sure you're not conflating times of low-fat with low-fibre? When i eat no fibre + high amounts of fat/cholesterol (raw eggs) i get a little bit Genghis Khan.

Surprised to know Thomas' testosterone levels are on the lower side; I am the same and have been attributing my inability to gain much muscle mainly to that reason. Now that I know that someone as built as Thomas has similar levels of testosterone as me, it must be genetics or some other reason being the main factor, not low testosterone!

Even eating carnivore, I've found my blood sugar crept up and my freeT crept down when I wasn't getting fiber.

If you dont use it you lose it. Good to know.

So it’s okay to have Mayo? Just do more leg work … got it.

25.000 steps? You have time to walk over 4 hours a day?

"Not enough sunlight" - Well fellow Scandinavians, we are sooo fucked. Vitamin D supplements for life.

Testosterone and basically all the sex hormones are made with cholesterol. Ofc if you consume dietary cholesterol, testosterone will go up as well.

Tongkat Ali + Maca does amazing

better you do interview with Anthony Chaffe

Im 65 and had my test checked, just out of curiosity. The results were 620, but Im so funny looking I think I'd rather have 200!

And you tend to overtrain. If he would scale back his training and recover his natural hormones would enhance

Steroids tanked you natty test

or, you're getting older? could be genetics? what's your family history? so many variables. we don't know your personal life. stress?

I dealt with low testosterone for a long time. It was always low 200s, sometimes lower. I could temporarily get it up using a variety of supplements. Tongkat Ali, fidogia agrestis, boron, zinc, vitaman d...etc. got it up to the mid 400s. Unfortunately the supplemets stopped working... even when I stopped the supplement for awhile then would go back to them. I didnt feel great. I tried this for years with different training and different diets. I never felt that good. Finally I bit the bullet and went on Trt which has made a difference but finding the dosage has been a long time too. I started with a 150 mg of cypionate a week which brought my levels into the 500s...and i felt worse. Upped it a few times and am currently on 200 a week which gets my test levels in the mid 900s. I feel much better. I feel the levels from exogenous testosterone need to be higher than endogenous for them to work similarly. I feel it has to do with the signaling pathways. Endogenous production is pulsatile and releases as it is needed and i imagine receptors are modulated through a variety of pathways allowing for greater uptake, whereas exogenous administration just allows there to always be a steady state so thoughs pathways may not be regulated the same way so you need more to get the same results.

You right - it wasn’t fibre per say , 😵‍💫 Enough with a myth of fibre people, cmon already! Really 🙄🙄

Do eggs have a lot of testosterone???? I notice when I eat them I bloat and I thought it was from high estrogen in them, didn't realize it was testosterone, wow!

Your T levels are high 300s?!? Seriously? If you're willing to talk more about your levels I'm sure a lot of people would benefit from it. That sounds like it's on the low side to me.. but obviously you're able to achieve a stellar physique still...

What the holy hell is going on ? All the sudden all the fitness people have casually started to mention lowfat ??

Carnivores on the diet for at least 6 months has been shown to have the most Superior microbiome

interesting how andrew tate looks so young (besides being bald) when he is the same age as u. not saying u look old lol. from what i know he intermittent fasts daily , most of what he eats is meat and he does a bunch of cardio through fighting and also lifts weights

Mental health and sex are the 2 subjects few people want to talk about seriously, but I'd bet that they're responsible for most health problems.

Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP

WTF Your Testosteron is about 300 ? Maybe gain a Little more fat or make some changes ASAP

The sex isn’t such an easy problem to solve

Zero reason for fiber to effect it ancestrally.

If you were " having increase in your testosterone," that would mean you were doing blood work. Show us.

I smell TRT soon

The study suggests that going beyond 14,770 steps isn't likely to produce any meaningful benefits.

The number one thing you've shown me 1. NEVER HAVE KIDS AND A WIFE 2. Dude. I know aging is a thing, but you're looking like a fit grandpa ever since you had them. 3. That and dont work out all the time... it ages you. I was sedentary for years, looked 10 years younger. Started doing mild exercise and i aged 10 years. Im sure ill adapt but just being fitnis enough. All you dudes that have 30ninch arms look 20 years older. And i know you run successful businesses sonits not just the kids but they definitely ruined you Ive been watching you for wayblinger than you had them. It was like warching Disney stock in person form.

you have no biceps. no respect

Hunters did not always hunt the local animals every time.

The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day (1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 KJB). Jesus shed His blood for our sins (COLOSSIANS 1:14 KJB). All have sinned (ROMANS 3:23 KJB). Getting water baptized DOESN'T save us (1 CORINTHIANS 1:17 KJB). We are saved by grace through faith, not works (EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJB). Only Jesus saves from hell

Jesus is the only the way,he is coming back be ready ❤❤❤❤
