    Fun fact: one of the largest lions can be found in the okabanga delta region in Botswana. The reason why they are so massive is because they swim a lot and eat Water Buffalo which contains huge amounts of DHT, therefore allowing them to grow as large as a tiger. A lioness in that region would be the same size as an average male lion.

      Where did you find the information that water buffalo contains large amounts of DHT? While I don't know anything about physiology of lions I don't think DHT is much bioavailable orally for them as it is for humans, I think they are rather supported by lots of food and genes that maintain their impressive size. Please elaborate on that (or tell me the source, because I am curious)

      Actually DHT is metabolized in muscle tissue by 3α-17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) and 3β-17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD). Therefore deactivating it. This is why DHT based steroids were produced because they are resistant to the enzyme. Otherwise scientists would have made just DHT for muscle wasting disease or osteoporosis.

    🇨🇭NOPE:
    Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has limited relevance for muscle building compared to testosterone because it is minimally converted to DHT in muscle tissue and is rapidly broken down there. Although DHT is a potent androgen, five times more potent than testosterone in activating androgen receptors, its anabolic effect in muscle tissue is significantly lower. This is due to the fact that DHT is quickly converted into inactive metabolites by the enzyme 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in muscle tissue.

    What are your thoughts on L-carnitine? I've been doing research on getting my T Levels up & I came across an article that said " You can Have High T Levels & still not function Optimally as a Man due to the fact that your Adrogen receptors are to low, therefore not letting your Free T to be utilized properly by the body?
    Recovering from Back Surgery, gained alot of weight. What type of program would you recommend due to the fact that squatting & other lower body exercises are not an option?

    I took Accutane for a year and my acne disappeared, as well as my dry skin. However, I decided to check my testosterone levels and they were really low. I don't know if it's because of that, but I'm afraid my hormones are still messed up. I stopped taking it 6 months ago, and now I have very poor sperm quality, although I'm supposedly still fertile. I'm taking supplements recommended by Huberman to increase my testosterone levels and I'm leading a healthy lifestyle. In a few months, I'll be doing blood tests again. Is there anything I can do to try to fix the hormones damaged by this medication?

      You can try some herbs there is a whole list online you can find, Dht cause the skin to thicken hence why you had the acne oil etc. I would first try all the natural methods and measure your level every month or every other week keep notes. Signs of high test in behavior would be a good indicator like competitive mentality, high libido, clear mind,increase in intelligence etc. You can also try tadafinal it is a viagra alternative but I think you need a prescription heard it increase testosterone but inhibits dht. If you increase dht be aware the side effects that is all.

      I belive they have a varying effect that is best represented with a parabola rather than a simple linear effect. Too much carbs make you a slug because you either surpass your caloric bar or you leave little room for other essential nutrients. Whereas not enough of them messes your hormone profile. The sweet spot is 40% of your calorie intake but don't take my word for granted this is what consensus literature says and I am not very keen on the whole nutrition science aspect because it is easily manipulated by private funding and economic interests. The sane and rational should have already taken their lesson since the Aspartame spiel.

    • @BenWinney
      @BenWinney  Před 27 dny +4

      Unfortunately it's not as simple as just low DHT, and I wouldn't suspect that as the main cause. It could be something like excessive prolactin or serotonin, low levels of dopamine, or hypothyroidism. It's worth getting bloodwork done for prolactin, estrogen, SHBG (determines your free testosterone), and thyroid. You could do some research into each of those and how to improve your levels.
      Generally lifting weights, cardio, good sleep, sunlight, and a nutrient-dense diet will cover most of your bases. The basics are boring and most people think they've got them sorted but you might be surprised. It's pretty easy to have nutrient deficiencies today which can mess up many of the body's systems
