Actually it is Testosteron which makes you commit fraud. Let me explain: I work as a Model Analyst and the only significant difference between people comiting fraud (not necessarily tax (I’m in private not government sector)) is gender. Males have higher test levels than women. There are also certain differences in race regarding that (different test level). -> more test, more fraud

I agree with your overall message, but it seems like you're intentionally ignoring or are unaware of some of the science behind the drastic decline of t levels. The microplastics and phytoestrogens in our products and diets are actually harmful to our bodies. Of course, it's never an excuse to give up and become a lifetime copelord dependent on drugs, but it does have an impact. Lower t levels have been very clearly correlated with more feminized and lax personality traits as well as decreased anabolism. If you're sedentary, overweight, and deliberately eat little debby snacks in place of a meal, you are certainly to blame for your poor health. However, if you are consistently working hard in the gym, dialing your diet in, avoiding sedentary habits, etc, how can you blame those who actually do try for their own failures just because you have succeeded? I generally love your content but don't think this message is helpful to everyone, and even if trt isn't the real solution, something does need to change so our hormones aren't fucked.

[@jeanzile3601]

@Alex H yeah I read somewhere that if a fetus isn’t exposed to a normal amount of test in the womb, or if there’s excess estrogen in the womb (funny enough, which is a result of a pregnant mother eating too much chicken) then it can have permanent effects on the child

[@Alex_Dul]

Believe me, if you actually try, no microplastic BS will impede your progress. Gaining muscle takes time. That shit doesn't outright stop anything. Even if you believe that bs actually has a meaningful impact... Who wouldyou rather be? Someone that does nothing while life fucks him in the ass? Or someone that improves even if that improvement is not substantial?

Don't need to worry about it.

All of this was done unnaturally of course. And by the way, this also affected you before you were even born, so there's no fixing that part.

I had legitimately low testosterone at 120 ng/dL. This was caused by a pituitary gland tumor and prevented me from making progress in the gym; could bench press 135 lbs after a year of lifting. Couldn’t carry an empty barbell my first week in the gym and I was diagnosed with depression outside the gym. Decided to be more socially active and be more “outdoorsy” and it helped my levels improved; though not as much as actual medication.

24:00 It's not just those who jump on TRT are on the upper end of the testosterone range. It's also that the use of testosterone that comes from an injection causes your testosterone levels to remain CONSTANTLY at that level, but natty testosterone FLUCTUATES throughout the day, some parts of the day you are "low T" and other parts of the day you are "high T". That natural fluctuation is removed when you jump on TRT. So even "natty" TRT gives you more testosterone throughout the day compared to "genetic elite" of natty testosterone.

[@Kaledrone]

24:30 No, that is VERY important to say here. You are correct, anyone on TRT basically surpasses anyone who is natural, basically even the top natties when it comes to test level. I saw one dude in this comment section who is only in his mid thirties saying that he got on TRT and now he feels much better and like his "younger self" again and he tried to use that as a justification for how he must have definitely been low T before and how TRT is a panacea. Well no shit that dude feels better, he now basically surpasses every single natty even if he is on low dosages. Here is the thing, in a natural man his T levels are always fluctuating minute to minute all the time. Your T levels are usually highest in the morning and slowly drop down throughout the day, which is why a lot of people recommend getting a bloodwork early in the morning. And besides that your T levels as a natural are also effected by everything else you do, how stressed you are, how much sleep you got last night, how much sunlight you are getting (Vitamin D), when you last lifted heavy, what you ate recently, if you are getting all the minerals you need from your diet or not, your T levels are affected by basically every single one of your habits as a natural and when you begin to inject TRT none of that matters anymore. First of all there will be no fluctuation throughout the day, you will basically have the same t levels at 12 o clock midnight that you did when you first woke up since you injected it exogenously, and as long as you remember to inject often and don't take long breaks between them there won't be major fluctuations like in naturals. But most importantly once you start TRT your habits don't matter anymore, you can eat like shit, sleep like shit, be stressed all the time, stay inside all day and your test levels still won't take a hit, simply because you injected them from an outside source, your own body is not producing that crap. So basically, how you live life doesn't matter anymore for your hormonal production and you also don't experience any fluctuations like all naturals do. I feel like this is also a reason why many people want to get on trt, they don't want the responsibility to live a healthy life, they want to live like shit and party all the time but they still want that anabolism, so they get on a cycle and begin injecting that anabolism exogenously. But my main point is of course you would feel better if you get on TRT, simply because of those two factors I mentioned. Even if a perfectly healthy male with high natural test began using trt even they would feel a lot better because they no longer have to optimise their own life for a hormonal reward. Considering all these factors, the fact that there are dudes out there who try to say trt is "natty" is BAFFLING to me. Absolutely no natty will have fixed high levels throughout the entire day, and their levels will also take a hit if they stop living optimally. At the end of the day, trt still functions very much like a steroid in the fact that it still allows you to have good anabolism even if you have a horrible lifestyle. I know some people don't like to hear that and they want to pretend TRT is so much different from steroids and so much healthier, but looking at all the things it does your opinion would be wrong if you believe that, and it doesn't matter what all the hormone clinic employees will tell you, they sell that stuff, they want you to get on it and be dependant on it so of course they will try to make you believe it's healthy. So long story short, all these dudes saying "Bro, I feel so much better on trt bro, this is definitely a sign I was low t before getting on it, bro" are wrong. Even if you began injecting a dude with a perfect hormonal profile with trt even he would feel "much better" in the short term. Also as a side note, just because someone gets low T on a single bloodwork doesn't mean they have low test because as I said before as a natural your test is fluctuating throughout the day depending on the time of day and recent habits, so a single test is absolutely worthless for determining what your t levels are.

[@Zephylmar]

Besides the real improvements caused by trt there is also a placebo effect that contributed to the benefits. The sad thing as you said it, since sleep, diet and lifestyle matter even less now, people on trt will keep ignoring them and won't solve the problem to the roots

[@Kaledrone]

@@Zephylmar Yeah, NH mentions that when he got interviewed by Alphadestiny, basically NH saw a dude's comment that said he had bad shoulder pain so the dude literally just went on trt and didn't have the pain anymore and could do anything with his shoulder again. NH felt bad for the guy because the trt was just giving him the "illusion" of not having any pain, the guy was still degrading his shoulder by doing things that were hurting it before. So instead of figuring out the root cause of the pain and trying to fix that the guy just decided to use test as a painkiller, so NH said he feels bad because the day that man comes off the trt he won't be able to raise his hand above his head anymore due to how degraded the shoulder would be. A lot of TRT guys have this problem, they camouflage their issues but then pretend that it's completely fixed and gone. It's the same with people who go on TRT due to "low energy", they camouflage that too, they didn't fix the cause of their low energy so it's still there, they just feel like it's not there anymore because again the TRT acts like a painkiller and makes them think they don't have any pain to worry about. Trt isn't a miracle drug, it's more of a painkiller than anything, and don't get me wrong, TRT definitely works as I said before, it works very well actually because you don't need to give a damn about your lifestyle anymore for a hormonal reward. All the dudes saying they feel a 100x better on trt and how it changed their life are not lying. But they don't feel better because of the reason they think, they don't feel better because their problems are now gone and trt cured them. They feel better because trt covered up their problems with a blanket and now they can't see them anymore. You would feel a lot better too if you had no idea about any of the problems in your life. If you really think about it this isn't actually that different from getting high or drunk. When some people are depressed they usually turn to the booze to "numb their pain" and forget about their shitty life for a while instead of trying to actually fix it. TRT works in the same way as it numbs you to the pain and makes you think you are completely fine when you are not, once you stop injecting test the problems will come right back like they never went anywhere. The resemblance is actually pretty scary.

I have a lot to say about this topic. First of all our ancestorst or parents had more TEST because there was no PC, SMARTPHONE, Videogames And other bullshit technology. They came from School And they went outside on the Sun playing sports, socialiazing more, sitting home playing games, binging on social media was not existing! They were also more CHAD about chasing women And i Believe they had sex And relationships sooner..IT was Common in Czech Republic to have kids around 20y.old. Generaly the relationships between men And women were more healthy. My dad was Chad with women around the age of 14 still has pictures with his ex's. So they were more anabol. Than current generation addicted on porn And masturbation And playing videogames. So IT Is a matter of a lifestyle And habbits. Also diet has an impact..30-50 years ago junk food And highly processed food was not availible in some countries (Eastern Europe) And JUST look at todays guys in their 20's they rarely have any beards on their face. And looklike girls. Also older generations slept more Hours because of no Binge watching on smartphone And social media. Which produce more hormones. So if you want to optimalize your TEST naturaly to high levels. JUST embrace lifestyle changes. 1) sleep 7-9hours 2) eat healthy, balanced,Diverse diet rich on nutrients,vitamins,micronutrients. 3) spend time on the Sun,in the nature (moving your body) move Is important. 4) lift heavy weights And Basic compound exercises. (4-8reps) 5) socializing And having sex. 6) cold showers. 7) OPTIONAL if you have money..supplementing Vitamins,Minerals like zinc, Vit D3, magnesium, omega 3 this can improve your TEST

[@Finvarra]

My belief is that the T that is effective to optimise is the T in reserve.. sort of like work capacity but with T. Meanwhile all the research just directly measures serum T levels and usually the stimulus they are testing is a short term effect rather than looking at the longer term optimization. The short term T is, in my view, an indicator of it being used by the body, and so things which "boost" serum T levels according to research are potentially consuming the T or perhaps even just wasting it by spiking levels when cells aren't ready to do anything with it. Bottom line, the moment to moment T can't possibly be the factor for muscle growth because you don't spend only half an hour a day growing. Yet due to artificially high T we know it plays a role, so it MUST be a longer term effect, rather than serum levels. even if the serum levels are also high for the enhanced guys, the combined evidence leads to this conclusion. TL;DR T level is extremely important, but the science around it is confusing at best. Anabolic T boosting can only be achieved through consistent lifestyle choices, everything else is just whichever way the wind is blowing that day.

[@Finvarra]

PS the reasoning at "100 years is not enough" is wrong. I do agree with the overall message, just to be clear. The reason it is wrong is because you seem to be thinking about selective pressures - yes these take a long time - however the reduction in T could be due to genetic drift. The world population has gone from 1 billion to about 7 in a hundred years and we continue to grow. Fertility is trending down, this population increase is due to a lack of mortality - i.e. selection pressure has stopped removing lower T men to the same degree. This could explain some amount of the difference. I don't believe this changes the main point, I just thought I should say something.

Ty for spreading this valuable information NH, when I was 17 I was diagnosed with low testosterone by my physician and I was immediately put on TRT, I wasn't even lifting at the time and had no alterior or selfish motive to search it out. There was no talk from my doctor about my awful lifestyle, or natural ways to improve my testosterone levels. Nor was there any talk about the future negative effects of TRT, such as lessened ability of my body to produce its own. Luckily, I was only on TRT for around 6 to 8 months, and I don't think the long-term effects have been noticeable. My main point is that there's no real discussion about the cause of low T, and the effects that can be detrimental down the road.

[@westoncroye643]

The people who complain about low T level even though they go to the gym are the same people who get little to no sleep playing too many video games and still sitting on their ass inside all day long instead of being outside. Hell you could probably have better test from just sitting outside like a human being. I personally think that is why men typically have lower T levels today because of how sedentary and “inside” our lives have become over the last 100 years. And also the fact that most young men today don’t go to the gym at all. Majority the time I would walk around the campus at one of the many Uni’s where I live most of the guys don’t look their age, are scrawny, and worst of all are mouth breathing degenerates who get drunk and high every single night and wonder why they are miserable in college. Edit: thats why I am glad I was always an active high metabolism kid. After my first year up until now into my second year I am now 190lbs and still pretty lean (maybe not 10% lean but like 12-14% lean). And my strength is pretty good compared to how big I have gotten at 6ft except for my presses as those are my weak points that I am starting to see progress in. I was able to squat 315 for 5-6 reps a month or two after my first year into lifting. And I am only a couple inches off of some measurement goals I have as well.

[@helios4425]

First time listener. I wish you would research more into testosterone and why the levels are declining. Yes, it is a fact, levels are half from 50 years ago. They tested people in the 70s and test people now a days to compare. There is many reasons for it, such as plastics in our water and food, to man's behavioral and health changes such as being less active , body fat not competing for anything. Studies in the 1940's showed the average testosterone level to be at 700 ng/dl, 300 ng/dl higher than for men today. That is huge. You are exempt because of your diet and activity aka working out. But doesn't explain why more and more men have low testosterone.

What is the average male doing today ? Not gaming and watching and consuming , men in 1940s and before did labor .

[@joh_kun5530]

Well, you will be exempt when you go ahead and work out and work hard and not eat like complete garbage, whilst also having a regular and halfway decent amount of sleep. The reason as to why men on average have lower testosterone is because there are simply more men who now live a low test lifestyle thanks to sheer population increase coinciding with the reduction of manual labor jobs, overall work time and the flood of processed garbage food that you could easily go out and avoid. it's purely on the lifestyles of men that could easily be tweaked and turned around with consistency. And microplastics + gmos isn't a valid excuse when these men in the 1940s have to go out and sniff lead, asbestos and improper industrial wastage all the time and I don't think that's any better, in fact in my books that's actually worse. And the amount of cortisol from the stress of ongoing or impending wars is also going to fuck shit up as well.

[@husseintammam4691]

My experience is that stress, hormonal and metabolic health, test levels and recovery are extremely important and underrated. That being said, I think it rarely has anything to do with a genetic condition or birth defect. In most cases, I think its a lifestyle issue. In my last lifting phase about 5 years ago I made good gains but I would stall quickly, lose my gains quickly and had all kinds of nagging pains. My programming was of course less optimal and all that, but the truth was I was really disconnected from my body, training too much, really stressed out mentally and not eating the best diet (Although it was mostly home cooked and wasn't too bad!). I stopped lifting for a few years to focus on my mental and physical health. At first I predictably lost most of my gains, but then slowly but surely I actually started to get a naturally better physique, while sedentary. My base physique without any training was leaner and had more muscle. Obviously It wasn't super impressive or anything, but in the past when I was sedentary I'd be skinny fat, but now even when sedentary I have a decent body. I never got any blood tests done but I'm certain my hormones have improved drastically. I started lifting a year ago and its been VERY different compared to all my past lifting phases, gains come quicker, gains are maintained MUCH more easily compared to before, I can maintain some muscles with a few decent sets every 2-3 weeks easily. Little to no recovery or joint issues. This is partially due to having better programming for myself, but even that is a result of being more relaxed and more in tune with my body. I think anxiety/lots of repressed emotions is very catabolic and wrecks ur health. Therapy, meditation, being true to yourself, having real, honest, vulnerable convos and relationships with other people and crying when you feel like it. Certain dietary factors and sunlight have a big effect too, eating gelatin regularly for joints, avoiding seed and veggies oils/deep fried foods, having good variety of fruits everyday. Maybe having shellfish once in a while to get your zinc levels up (Important for test). If you feel you have low test, these things are going to be far more valuable approaches than immediately going for TRT IMO.

Biolayne made a video about that, basically as long as your t is within the normal range you are fine, so if your levels are 500 ng/dl you won't be worse off than a dude who is 800 ng/dl. However, if you go really low like 350 ng/dl then you are going to have problems, but it's easy enough to not get that low through lifestyle. Only way for your T to have exponential effects on your muscle building capabilities is to increase it into the super physiological levels and the only way to do that is injecting high doses of it.

There is evidence actually. There's a study that shows just 100 ng/dl difference can lead to multiple percent difference in rate of progression in the gym. That can compound into hundreds of pounds to your total as the years accumulate.
