- There are several factors that can cause low testosterone, including:
1. Aging - Testosterone levels naturally decrease as men age.
2. Medical conditions - Certain medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and some genetic disorders can cause low testosterone.
3. Hormonal disorders - Problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus can cause low testosterone.
4. Medications - Certain medications such as opioids, glucocorticoids, and chemotherapy drugs can affect testosterone levels.
5. Lifestyle factors - Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to low testosterone levels.
6. Testicular injury or infection - Injury to the testicles or infection can cause a decrease in testosterone production.
It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing symptoms of low testosterone to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Low endogenous, that's for sure
They lost their credibility when they promoted prime drink
Are you really that pathetic not to mention dumb.
They didn't promote it.
They said it was a healthly option than some other drinks but not for athletes.
The doctor will usually tell you that you're "normal", but normal is not necessarily healthy or optimal.
good point mate
Normal range for men 22 to 35 was 800 to 1200 in the 1990s. Today, they call normal from 290 to 700.
I'm 24 and my peak was 434 after years of trying to optimize it naturally. Getting on TRT was the best fucking decision I've ever made@@redefv
You don’t need to meticulously optimise your health, chasing outcomes like that will just end up being a negative by giving you more stress. Doctors giving advice on CZcams have to give general advice, and this is good general advice
@@redefvGot a source for that?
Been on TRT for close to 20yrs. Haven’t taken an antidepressant since.
🤔 were you diagnosed with clinical depression?
Chances are if you posting this comment you need it
@@Mountainlion118tf is clinical depression 😂😂, grow up and face reality lol 🤦♂️
@@Zoan1188
Bro thought he was cooking🤦🏽♂️
The actual disorder and not just having a sad period of time in your life which most people conflate the two.
Clinical depression, also known as major depressive disorder (MDD), is a mental health condition that causes a persistently low or depressed mood and a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy. Clinical depression can also affect how you sleep, your appetite and your ability to think clearly.
Clinical depression
Depressive disorder (also known as depression) is a common mental disorder. It involves a depressed mood or loss of pleasure or interest in activities for long periods of time.
Depression is different from regular mood changes and feelings about everyday life. It can affect all aspects of life, including relationships with family, friends and community. It can result from or lead to problems at school and at work.
Depression can happen to anyone. People who have lived through abuse, severe losses or other stressful events are more likely to develop depression. Women are more likely to have depression than men.
Really so it works then
I brought this to my PC doctor and we ran test. They came back low. He asked me to run tests again and I got barely “within the range” and that was it. He recommended nothing. No fix to my low energy, low libido, etc. Years later, I finally got the help needed.
Where'd you get the help? A new doc?
Libido often linked to mental state, context, perspective.. I’ve been there, definitely relatable. Can be sorted without meds!! Weights are a great start, extra meat, remove crap food, remember who you really are and what you want and Why you want it. It all counts, so much. And sleep .. and some days intermittent fasting..
Glad you got the help you needed 👍👍
@@willcook403you’re right. At the day of day, How we feel matters dictates the right amount of testosterone. I’m off enclomiphene now. Dialed down my weightlifting intensity and feeling way better.
Go private trt/hrt clinic. They understand how many of the hormones function and work together. It can bring quality of life back.
Let's be honest, what we call "normal" test levels are actually very low. Even a few decades ago the average was like 1000ng/dl
Hard to know the exact causes of this.

Be sure to get your Testosterone Levels looked at by a HORMONE SPECIALIST. Most doctors will just say you're "within normal range" which is often not truly accurate!
if ur doctors a fat slob or a pin neck hunch back get a second opinion.
I was around 230 at 35 and they showed it was in the normal range. But yeah that’s taking men of all ages into account.
Lots of men do have low T thanks to endocrine disruptors in water and Atrazine residue in food.
Mate, that’s mega bullshit
My wife said I was crazy when I said my hormones were out of wack. Depressed, moody, absolutely zero energy, couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried, brain fog, high blood pressure, constant migraines and no drive. Went to get tested and my test level was at 23ng/dl and estrogen didn’t even register. 6 weeks in at 200mg a week and my blood pressure stabilized, energy coming back and I don’t feel depressed anymore. I’m only 41 years old too.
Wow, I'm in the same boat so that might be my issue.
@@codymattison8189 get bloodwork done asap
The ranges of low Test are constantly going lower and lower. We know for a fact that a 20 y/o male from the 2000s had the same test then a 50 y/o in the 60s.
If you go to the doc and they say you have perfectly normal test you might already have low lvls but they wont treat you bc of those dropped standard ranges.
A healthy male now would nkt have noticeably different t levels. The problem is there are fewer healthy males.
"There are fewer healthy males" Yeah, in large part due to lower testosterone levels.
@@tayzk5929 testosterone is lower because there are fewer healthy males. Not the other way round

I had the symptoms of low T. After some research and experimenting I realized that mg-L-threonate, b-1 (allithiamine) , D-3 daily were game changers at 40 I was glued to the couch, but now I feel like I’m in my 20’s again. Men, try/research the vitamin route first before you pin, you may have a thiamine deficiency.
That’s very cool
Glad you’re doing much better, but being on the couch a lot wouldn’t have helped, to be fair..
@@willcook403I think you missed the point pal. Chronic fatigue is reason for being on the couch = common reason to seek TRT.
Except in Australia,a doctor told me they are discouraged from doing testosterone tests on men . Not allowed to feel good
I'm ganna call cap
@@Mountainlion118 who's your doctor then
I had low T for 25 years or more. Not one standard doctor would test for it or suggest I might need it.
Im now taking 280 mg of testosterone a week. My total T is 1776 ng/dL and my Free T is 31 ng/dL.
I never plan to stop this loading even though its 676 ng/dL ABOVE what they consider is the high side of normal
No mention of receptor site affinity. You can have normal test levels and still have low test symptoms if the receptor is not binding the Testosterone. Very common among X anabolic users.
Started TRT at 41, didn't regret it once. Feel so much better.
Nice
How did you go about bringing this up to your doctor? I'm 39 and really want to get my levels checked but it seems like doctors are against it.
@@jenuelcamilo Strange, when you ask for your testosterone levels to be checked, what's the problem with that?? It's nothing forbidden about that. Or go to another Dr then
@@jenuelcamilo
Dude, doctors get asked about way weirder shit lmao
You should start lifting weights too and avoid using soy products as well as avoid as much processed food as possible especially heavily processed foods. You will likely end up needing less testosterone injections after a few months
I already got tested, I got all the signs for low T and my results came out .300
When you look at the value spectrum, .300 is extremely low and right on the border, but since I am still right on the border, doctors here don't believe I am low... So I am basically screwed.
Sorry to hear that. The borderline patients can be tricky
Get a new doctor, a good one. And you usualy only get trt if you are having symtoms of low t combined with low t.
@TalkingWithDocs a dude with 300 or even 400 test isn't tricky u give him test
The average doctor is just brain dead when it comes to endo
Orions get a new doctor asap
Get your own. It's very simple.
Doctors with a sense of humor!! Love It ❤
Doing our best!
It's easy to get T. Just identify as a man with high T , they have to affirm that legally and pharmacologically.
Based
I identify as super man, now give me 5 grams of trenbolone acetate a week please 🙏🏻😎
Most people do in fact have low T. I talked to a doctor who treats people regularly and she said it’s very common for people 30 and under to be on trt or hrt. Go get checked boys. Mine used to be 800, now it’s 395. You can increase it naturally over time, there are many ways
Like what? I'm 53 and I'm betting mine is either low or borderline. Been working out most of my life and taking sups like saw palmetto and fish oil. I probably should get it checked, but can't really afford it atm if it is a little low. Btw I wonder if finasteride increases it a bit?
@@Mrbobcat7 regular sunlight, eggs, training your legs with weights, cold showers, don’t eat processed food or drink out of plastic
@@blakemcmahan3960 well I get sun when I can, but only about 1/2 the year in Ohio. I eat eggs almost every day, work legs at least once a week. Heavy squats, deads and leg press although it's getting harder as I've been having hip and low back issues on and off for a year or two so I have to back off the weight every couple months and work up again. But I do eat a lot of frozen dinners although I try to pick the better ones as far as lower salt and higher protein. Cold showers, no! Plastic bottles, yes. Never knee it was bad. I usually buy whatever is on sale, but prefer cans or glass as they seem to taste better for soda and beer.
@@Mrbobcat7 plastic is absolutely destroying your testosterone, do some research. Drink from a stainless steel glass everyday. Wash them if you only have a few. Stop drinking sodas, that ruins it too. Frozen food will absolutely lower your t. Try to cook your food and meal prep it for the rest of the week.
@@Mrbobcat7Regarding water bottles, consider installing a reverse osmosis system under your sink. You’ll save tons of money compared to buying bottled water.
According to research, men’s testosterone levels have dropped at least 20% in the last 20 years across all age groups.
Seventy-year-old men in 1987-89 had an average testosterone level that was almost 100 points higher than 55-year-old men in 2002-04. The average 22 year old man today, has an average testosterone level roughly equal to that of a 67 year old man in 2000.
So, in reality, most men DO have low t levels compared to men a few decades ago.
I think think what your not understanding is that men natural level of testosterone has not decreased.
People just have other health iusses that affect testosterone.
@@Mountainlion118 what you are not understanding is that in our society, the testosterone level of men has decreased due to external reasons such as diet, pesticides, and other artificial foods. Why don't you go read the research rather than say dumb things? It is not just an isolated case. It is observed in men across all age cohorts.
@@Mountainlion118 this is why I have the internet: full of undefeated fools who make claims with zero knowledge
@@abumansaray7
Literally what i said read properly what I said other health iusse
The doctors said this.
Your original comment does not address that.
As i explained men's natural level for testosterone hasn't declined.
It's due to other health iusses affecting men's testosterone levels.
@@Mountainlion118 Stick to your idiotic comment. Don't @ me
The problem with these doctors and many others is that they are very situational, and that situation is usually money. You're going to have one group of doctors just say that 50 years ago, everybody's testosterone was higher. Then you're going to have another group of doctors say,, No, you don't need that. These are usually the old doctors who are not athletically overweight and say, Well, I'm just getting old. Meanwhile, you have a doctor who's all for it, who works out, who's not afraid of physical labor, and who wants to keep his mind sharp, livelong, and healthy, so I think it's obvious who these two doctors are; they're just getting old.
Low testosterone gave me osteoporosis. It’s No laughing matter docs. everything else was good, sex life, muscle size etc… I’ve been low on testosterone for almost 20 years. Wish I started sooner. I’m only 48 years old
Yes it can. Sorry to hear that
I love you guys! You're so informative & hilarious. Thank you!
Why thank you!
Testosterone levels at are about half of what the same age people did in the same age group. An 80 year old from the 50's had more test than a 30 year old today. Everyone has low T and we don't know what's causing it
Mainly processed food. Natural,whole food is the answer.
We do know what's causing it.
The government and the corporations who essentially own the government have been putting Birth control, micro plastics and Fluoride in the water for 40+ years.
Pre packaged foods are definitely a factor also
Soy
Don't wear polyester underwear and don't carry your smartphone in your pants pockets.
I would honestly recommend going to a TRT clinic for testosterone rather than a primary care doctor. PC doctors seem rather unwilling to believe low T is the root of a problem.
PC doctors know less than your average gym bro about endo and can only read a guideline supplied by who the heck knows.
That's because low T hasnt been shown to be the problem... It's only correlated with other stuff. Eat healthier, exercise, and spend time in nature breathing in clean air is a good start before you start injecting yourself with testosterone that will ultimately reduce your body's ability to create it naturally.
average test today is half what it was 50 years ago, if my doctor doesn't know this and tells me I'm normal despite having half the test people used to have I need a new doctor.
I once saw somebody (not a doctor) suggest using oestrogen blockers rather than TRT since the main reason for today's low test being high oestrogen resembling chemicals-- EDCs being everywhere. Do you know if this has every been tested?
Docs, care to comment on testosterone's impact on cancer of the Prostate. Thank you.
Hi Thomas. That’s a complicated question. The short answer is that testosterone supplements don’t cause prostate cancer but if someone is diagnosed with prostate cancer they should talk to their doctor and discuss potentially stopping as it can fuel prostate cancer that is already there. And if taking supplements should be checked regularly with PSA testing. Hope that helps
My husband has secondary polycythemia so he is told by his hematologist that he should not take testosterone because it raises his hemoglobin and hematocrits. He gets a phlebotomy about every other month right now.
Sorry to hear that and yes this is true. Exactly why cyclists take it.
My Dr took me off T when he ordered second blood test and it showed 400. He said that was normal range for a 37 y/o man... I think he's wrong but he already took my money so he doesn't care
The scale is 300-1000…why would he want you at the lower end?
Men with low T are less of a threat to existing power structures
@@tayzk5929 This is true. Men and women with high side testosterone levels think better and can function much better that Low-T ( men and women). Ever wonder why men and women in their 40's and beyond tend to not think well? It's low-T mainly but also low progesterone and too much stress hormone Cortisol. Progrsterone helps to keep cortisol under control and helps testosterone from not causing prostate problems in men. THAT is why standard doctors dont wan to treat men or women with testosterone or progesterone
We really need to start considering this as an option for women as well. It's not just about estrogen and progesterone.
What's this have to do with the Titan?
I just was told that all men these days have a lower level of testosterone in the 300s as an average when it used to be much higher in decades past. Is it all the hormones in the foods we eat?
It is a combination of a host of factors but likely can be blamed on poor diet and not enough exercise
@@TalkingWithDocs I eat 100% clean food, all organic, I even use organic protein powder, collagen and ashwagandha to try boost my T, but still my T levels on test come out .300
Bad habits and bad food. Look up dr. bobby price for a good diet. Also Sleep is a very big factor. Along with obesity and overweight.
@@orion9kHow about exercise?
@@limitisillusion7 weight lifting 5 hours a week
These doctors clearly just favor against testosterone…they say depressed but WHY are some men depressed? Well Testosterone could be the problem. Testosterone injections can really really help people’s all around quality of life. Kinda on person per person basis rather than a simple firm baseline number
And to add. I am talking about TRT doses I personally see 0 sense or gain in really high doses in which I consider a flat out steroid cycle

If your testosterone is low, start bodybuilding (even just with very low weight to start), eat more meat, avoid processed foods as much as possible, avoid soy products, avoid seed oils, and avoid corn syrup
Exercise is very good for your testosterone
Ha this is doctors. They know seed oils are terrible, they know corn syrup will kill you, and yet can't even agree with the person speaking facts for fear of offending the corporations or the fatties.
I have been doing all those things for years and my testosterone levels still crashed. Losing weight is what caused my testosterone levels to crash. I need to be slightly overweight to have normal and healthy testosterone levels. No doctor can explain why. Not even an endocrinologist. Fucking morons.
What’s more important total testosterone or free testosterone? When reading test results?
It’s very dependent as mentioned in the comments, in America anyway, 1. If it’s your general PCP or an actual Endocrinologist they both have different perspectives of what levels are classed as low.
2. The actual labs where your blood is tested vary from one company to another which can determine if they class your levels to be low or not.
3. Your insurance also Chios in regarding what it classes as considered low testosterone levels if your wanting to go through your health insurance.
Lots of variables that can have a lifelong impact if you are right in that edge of what one doctor or lab considers low and a different lab or doctor may say your absolutely fine, it’s really not black and white in the world of medicine and as mentioned the guidelines or always changing 😮

Sorry missed the live I forgot it was Thursday when I scheduled my grocery pickup. I look forward to your lives.
The average test in 1970 was like 600. I spoke to my doctor, and he said the new normal low was 200 (basically a very aggressive female).
The thing is, I know somebody who had low T, but the range of low T to high T swings wildly low. So he was having health and emotional issues that were going untreated. I feel like physicians should not speak for endocrinologists.
What are causes of low testosterone other than age? My husband has low testosterone and is only 48. His doctor inserted a pellet med into his low back. I’d like to know the causes.
There are many. Testicular. Brain. Meds. Obesity. Thyroid. Other chronic disorders
The causes of low testosterone, modern civilization. In other places of the world that is less modernized, testosterone levels in men are the highest. In modern society, men have no need to hunt, gathering food is easy. Men in touch with nature have higher testosterone. Married men have lower testosterone than unmarried men, and recently divorced men see a spike in testosterone because the hunt is on for another woman. Married men with children have even lower testosterone than married men with no kids.
Endocrin disrupters, lack of good fats in your diet, Lack of quality, amount or consistent sleep, and no excercise.
Having alcohol use disorder sometimes it feels like it does drop. That's generally when I supplement with a healthy dose of sunshine a little added cholesterol and a multi vitamin and mineral. Plus Omega 3's
Nice
You boys are always hilarious and Informative!!! ❤
Glad you think so!
You mean doctor's 😊
to make things more clear I received my results today.....I am 40 years old and my total testosterone level is 445 .....but my free testosterone is 87.8.... is that bad at my age ? Or what can you say about my total and free levels as stated ? Thanks in advance
Getting old and having low T is a good reason to take exogenous testosterone. Some of us still need our yestosterone to perform at certain expectations at our jobs for anothe 10 or 20 years. Low testosterone causes depression; depression doesn't cause low testosterone. Taking exogenous testosterone can increase your health.
Bad habits cause depression
@@vhjvbhjb5280 I agree. I have been into health and fitness all of my life. No drinking, smoking or processed food. At 60 years old many thought that I wasn't past my late 40s. Before ever starting testosterone I was functioning well. Eventually at 60, I felt myself slowing down, poor quality of sleep, lower energy, fuzzy thinking and minor but frustrating forgetfulness. I decided to start testosterone. I am back again. Best thing I ever did. I have probably added years to my life. But you have to be following a healthy lifestyle before and after you start testosterone therapy. And you must only take "replacement" levels.
Any proof of these claims? It seems to me there could be a vicious cycle of sorts going on. Poor diet and a lack of exercise could cause low T, which could cause depression. Then depression causes you to make worse diet choices and exercise less. Then T drops more, ad infinitum.
The question is... Do you want to find the root cause so that your body can ultimately produce testosterone naturally, or do you want to become dependent on injections? Keep in mind that low T may be just one side effect of poor diet and lack of sufficient exercise. You may have other biomarkers that become imbalanced as a result, and only fixing T levels could lead you into another less predictable vicious cycle. That's why putting all the blame on one biomarker may not be a good idea.
@@limitisillusion7 I'm taking it. IFEEL AWESOME!!! It fixed everything.

My last Testosterone blood level was 18.7 ng/dL, would you say that’s low. I have SBMA which also affects my level of testosterone, should I be worried?
@@kingsly3690 I was born with 12 Genetic Disorders, SBMA (Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy) is one of them. It affects the testosterone receptors and reduces the amount of testosterone to be made. Yes I am male and yes my Testosterone level was over 300 until the SBMA started affecting my body’s ability to produce testosterone. For 3 years I’ve been watched by my Endocrinologist (a hormone specialist). Last year, when my T fell down to just 6ng/dL he tried T shots but the SBMA stopped it from helping. And yes, I have male genitalia but I am now involuntarily sterile. Hope this answers your questions but as you can see, the doctors didn’t respond.
I'm 27 I'm miserable the last 2 years past drug user waiting on Dr appointment with urology now I pray that they can fix this 🙏
We hope so too. Hang in there!
Dude if you’re urologist don’t help, get to a holistic medicine center and start weight lifting.
Out of curiosity if those test results came back stating that you have low testosterone like very low, can your doctor just flat-out refuse to treat you just because it's a controlled substance?
Sure, especially if by treat you mean use a specific treatment. That side, I would just take a copy of my bloodwork to a different doc.
I am curious what the long term difficulties of low T are. I am 73 & I am not the man I once was. I suppose that is to be expected, however, I would like to know if their are other concerns
Increased body hair for one.
Also keep in mind oestrogen levels... My T wasnt bad (not optimal) but my oestrogen levels were out of control high (plus high cortisol) the hormones specialist (not family doctor) I saw recognized that and ive been feeling much better since becoming his patient
Testing for low t is a smart thing to do. A lot of people with low t are producing plenty but it gets transformed to estrogen. A lot of men could have good T levels by taking an aromatase inhibitor. You need a hormone doctor to treat that.
DIM is a good otc option for men who have lower ranges of t but not medical hypogonadism.
Yeah, let's take a cancer drug instead of synthetic T. Sounds so much safer.
Testosterone levels should be around 1000. Due to plastics and endocrine disruptor chemical the average test levrls is now 40% lower at around 600. Most men are low test.
i was at 635 as a 20 year old, before i knew about microplastics and all the other stuff. Now i am around 800. Probably around the 1000 in a month.

To everyone wondering the best way to naturally fix your testosterone is your diet fix your diet. Exercise is also important but the biggest reasons testosterone is decreasing is a food thing so fix that.
Sleep produces actual hormones in large amounts, sleep is very important
@@haha-nx6sc oh sorry forgot about that, yes alot of people now a days aren't getting recommend amount of sleep
I am an older, now fat, crippled guy with a higher level than most of the 20 year olds these days. Tried testing and was to high to get on trt
The doctor will usually tell you that you're "within normal range" but normal or better than low t 20yo's is not necessarily healthy or optimal
I had 1 nut removed and am on TRT. Good choice or poor choice? I still had 1, but only 1. Tough nut to crack.
I also had one that was removed because it got crushed in a accident with a dirtbike when I was a teenager. It took till recently now I'm almost 60 to find out that my Testosterone level was very low and there was no need to feel so bad for all those years if some doctor would have taken the effort to do some proper research on me. My life would have been much easier if this was noticed years ago.

You're a victim of medical negligence. If you lose part of an organ involved in hormone production, your hormone levels should be checked to make sure your body is still producing sufficient hormones.
I trashed a "doctors" office as the mudaphucker refused to carry out a necessary blood test for me and therefore placing my health at risk as he was delaying diagnosis and treatment. Don't tolerate risks to your health, especially not from assholes, negligent doctors.
I love that this page is showing up for me
I have XXY just recently had a micro-tese without success.
My T levels were low before my op now after apparently they will be lower but I feel fine. Do I really need to take testosterone?? I’m 41. Will my T levels improve if I go a natural route??
Should I get on TRT too? My testosterone is really low 😢
I think I had low T felt like crap. I followed this guide and now I have 694ng /DL I feel great. Highly recommended it. It's called complete guide to testosterone by james Francis
My test levels came back at 259. They gave me 1 shot of testosterone cyp 150mg. But I’m thinking it was too much. It’s only been 1 week and I am getting severe headaches and my bp went from my usual 120/76 to 148/90… All this within just one week.
That's interesting. Maybe worth checking in with your doc
I was at a 580 they said it was within normal range. Now that im on trt i feel and look absolutely amazing. Dont let "normal range" be acceptable
Interesting
Mine was 12.8 did some heavy work outs, ate clean and it’s gone up to 15.5
I might have low "T" but it keeps me out of trouble.
🤣
If your levels are less than they were in your prime (20's) then they're low. No such thing as "good for your age" All that means is everyone who's 40+ has suboptimal levels and we're not willing to address aging. Rather than keeping people old for longer, we should be focusing on keeping quality of life for longer.
Diet and lifestyle changes...?
This is America, I'm going to pay a Dr. to prescribe me meds.
Mr. T Joke got me.
“Do I have low testosterone because I’m depressed? Or am I depressed because I have low testosterone? Better take some steroids to be safe.”
Either or both.
You can have low testosterone for a number of reason and you can develop depression for a number of reasons.
Ya, there's obviously more to it than testosterone levels. For some reason testosterone gets all the blame or credit among lots of men.
There's so so so many reason to get depression it's highly unlikely it's got anything to do with your testosterone.
Lol dammmm
@@limitisillusion7Influncers probably. Money gets made by peddling an idea more often than the truth.
Getting old is NOT a cause of low testosterone....
Source? Around age 40, sometimes earlier and sometimes later in life, it is well documented that men's testosterone drops. Thousands of medical studies prove this.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age. That is medical fact. Zero doctors would refute that.

Thanks guys..!!
So I’m 37 years old and I’m wondering if my testosterone level is low I just got my test results back and it’s 452 not sure if that’s considered low for my age or not or normal
But can you prescribe me testosterone for more gains?
Nope. Bad idea
Checked my levels after suspecting it was low, saw it was 240 aged 36 and got treatment to stimulate it without directly adding it with TRT. Went up to 700 and feel like a new person full of energy after just 1.5 months. Looking forward to 2024 😊🌄💪
Which treatment ?
@@jamesabar207 well I'm not en expert but Clomifene citrate and gonadotrophine if I'm not mistaken (as prescribed by a doctor)
How did you treat it without TRT? I'm in a very similar boat. 34 with extremely low levels 400ish.
@@alexlaw1892 pills and injection of medicine for 2-3 months via a doctor, but not by adding testosterone itself but to restart normal production via other medicine. Clomifene citrate tablets and Gonadotrophine. I'm certainly not a professional so can't know exactly how they work, but stopped with that injection, now just pills, and hopefully in a few months no need for it 💊 hope you can get better too! I've had more progress in the gym in 3 months than the 4 past years...
@@alexlaw1892
Certain drugs can stimulate testes to produce testosterone, like HCG.
No, most doctors also think 300-400 is a suitable range for a healthy male.. that’s not at all. 300-1200 is ridiculous. “They’re old like us” you really didn’t realize what you said 😂 yikes Doc
People talk about low T , But what is the range that is normal for Men in 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s ?
Yes it changes
Is there anything else that presents the exact same symptoms? No sex drive, always tired, no morning erection, loss of muscle mass, etc.? Like if you only had SOME symptoms, it's easy to think depression or overweight... But if ALL the symptoms, how likely is it something else?
I just got my blood tested to check my T and my levels came back super low for my age, 27. I'm very active, eat whole foods and limit processed foods as best as I can. Any advice for what I can do to naturally raise them before I take TRT?
1. Remove all plastics, stop touching it, every time you do you are lowering test.
2. If you are using hand sanitizer a lot remove it, use soap. 3. If you drink tap water make sure to filter it with charcoal. 4. Make sure you don't touch or keep receipts next to your genitalia.
5. Get a lot of sun.
6. Use metal water bottles (buy a 100% stainless steel bottle, not some BPA-free bullshit)
7. Avoid soy and flaxseed (they have very big amount of estrogen)
8. Lose your body fat (estrogen is "stored" (by simplifying) in your body fat)
9. Go into a sauna (by sweating you are getting rid of estrogen from your body)
10. Take Omega-3 Fish Oil
11. Avoid vegetable oils, sunflower oils and seed oils - ESPECIALLY the last two. For fat meals use ghee butter or full fat grass-fed butter
12. Avoid polyester and nylon material in things like clothes. The good alternatives are for example 100% cotton or wool things.
@@cx6894 thank you for your response! Funnily enough, I do everything that’s on your list with the exception of tap water. I don’t drink it I refill my water. I workout twice a day and try to get as much sunlight as possible and I also do an hour of cardio outside in the morning before dawn.
@@thatdudee7290 If you are eating omega 3, Stop it. Or get it from vintagetradition. Fish live in seas that are polluted and omega 3 is fish oil. I get mine in sweden from fish that are caught in antarctica. Icing your testicles 20min 3 times a day can help, eat more healthy fats. Take tongkat ali, boron, Maybe consider ashwagandha and cycle it. Sleep alone can reduce your t by 15-20% so optimize your sleep. Good amount and consistent quality sleep. Wake up and go to bed at the same time.
@@thatdudee7290According to research, men’s testosterone levels have dropped at least 20% in the last 20 years across all age groups.
Seventy-year-old men in 1987-89 had an average testosterone level that was almost 100 points higher than 55-year-old men in 2002-04. The average 22 year old man today, has an average testosterone level roughly equal to that of a 67 year old man in 2000.
So, in reality, most men DO have low t levels compared to men a few decades ago.
@@thatdudee7290если вы тренируетесь два раза в день ,каждый день, то вы перетренироваетесь,тем самым придавливаете свой тестостерон и организм не может его производить,нужен отдых, витами С,Zinc,фолиевая кислота,витамин Е,Д3,продолжительный отдых и тренировки один раз в день ,три раза в неделю
Would you consider 253 ng/dl low for someone who is 21, 6ft, works out consistently . would you treat someone my age?
That is very low for a young man. I am 30 and my last blood work was 700.
@@dr.shakalu8224 must be nice
@@mnash3545 Bring it up with your doctor. They can prescribe it if it is affecting your life.
Take a look at your diet and sleep. And overall habits. I am 20 i was at 635, Thats low.
I lost all motivation at 22 i really think i need steroids at a young age every thing here has ingredients that lowers testosterone.
They said my testosterone levels were normal, but I have issues which I believe are related to low t, correct me if im wrong.
I seem to distribute fat in areas that women tend to distribute such as hios, thighs, and breasts. I also have cellulite which mainly affects women and is rare in men. Its got a dimpled like appearance. I also sometimes struggle with morning erections, but mainly struggle with erections during day.
Yes probably. I had 635 as a 20 year old, no problems in terms of libido or whatever. But low energy. I am at 800 now and feel a world of a difference.
@@vhjvbhjb5280 635 wouldn't be classed as "medically low" either. So they would refuse TRT treatment, but anything below 700 / 800 is pretty low in my opinion. My doctor's only consider TRT, a viable option once they fall below 300
Being male pattern baldness and having excessive body hair does it mean high T or low?
Am I selfish by testing my levels at age 19 because of some symptoms? I don't want to believe my levels are low because of my age and I don't wanna burden the medical system.
No you're not selfish. Get a whole panel of blood work done regularly if you can. In the states, a decent panel can be had from third parties for ~$50. Don't know where you're at though
Low test causes depression so if you have depression check your test if it's below 350. You have low test.
Thanks for watching. It can certainly cause many symptoms
Can raising testoserone make bones slightly bigger?
Not really unless it was taken when your growth plates were open. Even then not well studied
Thank you gents, very informative
Now, talk about how the normal range of testosterone keeps getting lower and lower. So many men now test low, the normal range has decreased substantially. Average testosterone level of your grandparents generation was around 800ngml. Now, if you're at 301ngml, you are considered within normal range regardless of your age. That's not even half of what your grandpa had in his 60-70s.
There is a global low testosterone problem. Any endocrinologist would agree with me on that. I know, because I'm friends with a bunch of them already.
Testosterone levels is based on health lil bro
@@xijinping880 lil? Come say that to my face and I'll kick your fucking teeth in.
I work in the medical field, and have a degree in biology. As a hobby, I'm a muay thai fighter. Worldwide testosterone levels are dropping and it isn't as simple as, good health equals high testosterone. If I had to guess, it is from the endocrine disrupters/mimickers in the micro plastics we eat. Which, is an entire credit card worth each week.
If bad health meant low testosterone levels, we'd expect to see low levels in history during times of hardship when tested. Yet, that isn't the case. Meaning, something else is the cause. A lethargic life and bad nutrition isn't helping. But again, it isn't the main cause. That can account for small changes. But, we are seeing full 50% reductions in testosterone levels in men now compares to the 50s and 60s. What happened right after that? Microplastics started being added to everything possible.
Mike Ohearn’s T level is probably higher than 6 champion race horses 🤣
Thank you Doctors❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is there a connection between low T and diabetes?
