- Testosterone has long been seen as a metaphor for aggression, but is there really anything to the idea of the testosterone-driven male? Prominent scientists explain how subtle the hormone’s effects actually are.
Men with a lot of testosterone have long been accused of violent and competitive behavior. Now the image of the sex hormone is changing. Unlike in the animal world, the general statement "testosterone makes one aggressive" cannot be confirmed in humans, and recent studies suggest that it can actually even promote selfless behavior. One of the leading experts in this field is Jean-Claude Dreher from Lyon. He says his laboratory experiments show that testosterone does not make men aggressive but instead allows them to act in a strategic manner. Those who are more testosterone-charged tend to be friendlier towards others in order to bolster their own social status. British behavioral psychologist Simon Baron Cohen demonstrates how testosterone determines our gender characteristics when we are still in the womb. Meanwhile, his colleague Oliver Schultheiss from Erlangen has found out how testosterone can improve our learning abilities.

Ask any man who has naturally low testosterone, it’s a living hell. Depression, no ambition, no sexual desire. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
For a man getting old and fat, less and less natural testosterone is a living hell. Take gear and aromatase inhibitors. Lift heavy, do your cardio. Be strong. Be huge. Be a babe magnet. Be superhuman!
sooo basically the behavior and attitude of a woman ?
Lift weights. It helps a lot.
@Valerie O'Brien women also habe testosterone in their bodies, but at much lower level than men. Your arm strength may not necessarly be due to testosteron, it could for example be another genetic factor that gave you strong arms and legs.
@Valerie O'Brien "have beaten men in arm wrestling, when o was younger" You were stronger when u wer younger? Wat about now when u are older? Do you have the same strength? Just curious to know.
The difference in strengths between men and women actually increases as they age. The males get more stronger than females as they age and the females get less stronger than the males as they age. This difference in strengths keep increasing upto a certain age (upto old age).
If u are still stronger than males, u must be an extremely rear exception among women.
Surprised they don't mention the importance of sleep. Its vital.
Yup. And I can't believe they didn't even mention endocrine disruptors.
Ok I'm watching this at 4 am ☺😑
How you sleep when you horny all the time on high T 😂
Yeah sleep is super important, it's like unbelievably important, we can't even imagine really!!! It's so easy to go to bed late as usual, but these days/nights I shall try sleep for 6 hours at least...
Sweet
Keep well and be safe everyone!

Tell the narcoleptic that 😅, try the word productive sleep
Been on trt for 3 months now and it's the best thing to have happened to me. My energy and libido are back but, most importantly, no more depression or anxiety!
Happy for you sir , what’s your protocol? I am in two weeks now.
@@bgoodorhell4u Thank you! I am currently doing 100mgs once a week. I was originally doing 200mgs every 2 weeks but, I really felt the crash. I would feel amazing for about 5 days but, then it went downhill until next shot. How about you? Merry Christmas!
@@mantis_monk I am on 100 mg every week , and already feeling better had all the symptoms my muscles was wasting away but now I am on the rebound . It started in October they wanted to put on depression pills and I refuse . Happy I did . They are quick to give you pills for depression but make hard to get trt treatment that causes depression it’s crazy . Good to hear you are doing good. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you brother . Ps I am a regular guy not a gym / muscles guy I am on trt for survival.
you should do 50 mgs once every 3.5 days@@mantis_monk

I'm impressed this dude is a body builder, a medical student, and manages to keep a girlfriend.
he never did compete though and quit his medical course, but i think he finished sth else instead.
now he is a pretty successful supplement company co-owner
And a youtuber
Btw so low testestorone and muscular( as he was a body builder) is from what I have figured out big red flag for steroid. Just btw.
That a Bodybuilder? 😂😂😂😂😂
@@ifyoucantdodeadliftstherei4865
? he is pretty well built. If you compared him to those steroids meatheads, of course it a different story.
The fact that anyone thinks testosterone is “bad” pissed me off.
But notice that the documentary is refuting that testosterone's "bad reputation" is supported by evidence.
The documentary agrees with you.
@@benharris3100 I'm not talking about the documentary though.
Me too. I found the statement very annoying
That's like saying babies are bad.
@@slyfox8631 Ikr, it's dumb AF
The paradigm shift in our understanding of testosterone's influence on behavior is both enlightening and refreshing. This documentary challenges stereotypes and reveals the subtleties of this hormone's effects, emphasizing its role in promoting selflessness and strategic behavior. Thank you for this eye-opening exploration.
TRT saved my life. Depression, panic attacks and insomnia disappeared and my choesterol/BP levelled out.
It's not as easy as people think. Testosterone, aromatase, estrogen, cortisone, and many more chemically interacting systems are very finely balanced. If you change one, they all change and are affected.
Thank you- exactly. Everything to to do with the Endocrine system is complicated, we don't really know much about it, seems to be highly interactive and often nuanced according to the individual.
That's what the most people dont no
i think it will be all downhill for Mr Wolf in this documentary after some time. I was hitting the gym for 19 years straight and i saw everything. The right formula is as you said a balance. And that balance is only achievable by natural food intake.
Thats why I stopped finestaride id figure i rather be bald and keep my t levels than have hair and deplete them.
@@jacobortegatv1598 My dad used finasteride. If anything it slowed hairless over time. I have all of my hair. No signs of thinning...I also exercise, but At almost 40 years of age, I believe the signs of aging will present itself at exponential rates of decline as the years go by...but either way
, tomorrow is not promised today and I am grateful for each and every day and I think success in life is being able to see it that way... Hope you stay safe and healthy God bless.
This documentary reinforces my theory of what is the most common sentence used by researchers...."More research is needed."
It has always been thus.
And more funding is necessary, to measure more finger-bone-length for many years to come.
def not examples of big dick energy is it
They did. Research sometime back that men who stare women's breasts life 2 years longer
More research means more money for researchers and scientists alike and this is how they make their fortunes.
"and the level turned out to be about zero, that's a bit low"
Yes, it sure is.
Hahaha I found that bit funny
Excellent production. Just findings based on trials without any hype of bias. Well done!
I appreciate the documentary for 2 reasons
1. Not coming to a conclusion as various factors have a role.
2. Continuing the research to document the findings which might be helpful in future.
Yes.. I do agree..
Absolutly. Rare thing in modern money&fame-run science. OR INCONCLUSIVE RESULT IS THE WISHED SAFE RESULT
I was actually more aggressive when my testosterone level was low. I felt bad and always felt like i was on the edge of going off.
Starting testosterone injection mellowed out my mood and made me calmer.
I am happier, calmer, much more at ease when giving myself injections of test and this has been for the last 7 years for me.
This video is a bunch of baloney.
Joseph you can buy it in any gym but that is illegal. Mine is doctor prescribed.
ditto. TRT has made me less aggressive, I am more calm and level headed now than before for sure.
Same here
And our bodies still try and betray us and turn much of the exogenous test into estrogen! Thank God for anti- estrogens! My favorite is Proviron. I'm able to get huge off it with less water retention. Being a massively strong helps with my work as a plumber. You'd be surprised how many rich old ladies want a cast iron tub installed
I screwed up my hormones when I was seriously depressed and on drugs for 8 years. I started testo replacement and I came back to life. And it has made it 1000x easy to stay sober. 😃

@@z.deutch1334 estrogen and breast cancer?
This guy was a med student & was able to figure it out - AFTER a diagnosis of depression. The “psychologisation” of illnesses in Germany (& elsewhere) has become truly lethal. He’s a young, healthy man. It is so much worse for women & the elderly. It takes years longer for women to be taken seriously- often after it’s too late.
Well, it is simply not true that science takes longer to help women. Just look around at all the products and research that is being done for women, but not for men. Women get free everything : tests, operations and procedures, but men have to pay for everything. Men pay for women to get all of their dree stuff, including their selfish murderous baby abortions.
lol in psychiatry the default human is a womyn
Testosterone should never be thought of as "political", "dangerous", "domination" etc. It's about your health. You don't want through the roof amounts, you don't want a shortage. You want a heathy level and that's that.
All this study proves is that men are less aggressive towards one another and are better able to control violent outburst where there is no women or children present due to there being CONSEQUENCES to angering another man. That fear is not present when dealing with women and children
@@c.a.greene8395 dont pay too much attention to this kind of study
@@c.a.greene8395 just admit you hate men and already made up your mind way before any study
If you wanna talk about violence agents children, talk about the fact most abuse of kids comes from women
Or the fact the cdc reports an = amount of domestic abuse from men and women
@@nobodythenobody9779 They don't wanna hear that...
@@nobodythenobody9779 and no I do not hate men thank you.
Its my personal opinion that for every issue women complain about men for - some woman is responsible...
We are the child minders. We teach our daughters to be nurturing, loving, and allow them to own their feelings.
We tell our sons to 'suck it up ' - don't be a sissy - and so much worse when they are but toddlers the conditioning begins...
We give our daughters dolls and babies from birth, our sons get guns and tools of destruction...
We teach znd mold our daughters, condition them for their place in society - yet our sons are allowed to roam freely as 'boys will be boys ' and magically at 21 are expected to be men often with no instruction or a father to teach him....
I think women can do so much better by their sons than we have been. I think its truly our fault men are often unable to deal with complex emotions at high stress times such as divorce - we women never gave them the tools to deal with them...
So when my girlfriends complain ( and they do ) I remind them - they had 21 years learning to deal with complex emotions BEFORE you became an adult, give your husband a break
Be proud of your masculinity but do not disrespect feminity
Yes, most people on here are either bashing women or men. You can be proud of your gender without having to insult the other.
Cristian When a real MAN is faced with a woman that is no longer a source of beauty and delicacy and needs to be checked, he checks her.
@Cristian a real woman is always much more than just beauty and delicacy... Not in your life, though
Cristian "You know nothing about my life"- said the whiny little b i t ch. She knows nothing about your life but somehow you know all about hers and mine? You must be re-todd-ed.
@Cristian I think the people above tried to make a point, but I do not condone their rudeness. However I disagree with the idea of women as "soft", and that their main qualities being things like beauty, cooking skills, graciousness and so on. Since women have been gaining more voice in the last decades, we've learned that they want to have ambitions and be seen as more than family assets and a kind of servant to their partner. But I think you were just trying to portray women as valuable, in a somewhat old fashioned rather than degrading way.
How can something so under researched have a 'bad reputation' ? Leave masculinity alone!
Oh no, calm down sir! You are showing signs of aggression, that must be related to your toxic masculinity^^
I'm shocked myself.
Sounds like you have too much testosterone xD

Alcohol consumption reduces testosterone, while at the same time exercise increases it

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Would be interesting to make a similar docu on how estrogen/progesterone affects female behaviour
Yes
it's actually estrogen that triggers aggression.
Also testosterone is vitally important to women!! As a woman with early menopause my very low testosterone as a result gave me far worse symptoms, chronic insomnia, anxiety stress! Etc
Not just a male hormone!!!! Women have more testosterone than oestrogen! Finally found the cause of my chronic insomnia, horrific cortisol levels and many other problems were caused by low testosterone due to early menopause, perhaps this should also be addressed, I find it irritating that testosterone is perpetuated as ‘male’
@@lucyandrews605 I was just about to say the same thing. Women have testosterone too, and it's higher than estrogen levels.
At 40 I had no energy and was quite depressed. My doctor ordered a full blood panel including sex hormones. My serum testosterone came back at 21 ng/dL. He then told me this was not healthy and put my on testosterone cypionate. We now keep my levels around 700 ng/dL. This absolutely changed my life. My income has more than tripled. My drive is back where it used to be when I was 20. Anyone suffering from depression should get lab tests immediately.
How were you even alive at 20 😐
I'm 24, and I have depression. My testosterone level was 426 ng/dL. It's not high but is not quite low either. I guess I just have to take antidepressant😭.
Your "drive" was probably not (700nanograms per deciliter) that high in your twenties if your levels were 21ng/dl at only 40
Get to the gym. Don't depend on pharmas all the time. Ancient Cavemen males had more T than dudes today with enhancements.
What I did before going to TRT: got rid of caffeine, so I can sleep deep again - this was the biggest impact undisputable. Stopped jerking off, eventually 2-3 times a month. Reduced smartphone usage. Lost fat.
Now I don't need TRT anymore..
Could have relayed all the information in 7-10 minutes. Lots of filler, repeated information, story line to build tension, stock video footage and background footage of interviewed scientists in lab coats with narration. They stretched out the story to fill a TV slot. Wasted a half hour.

It’s a major problem with You Tube, long drawn out videos that could be fine in half the time. I believe it’s for the money earned from “viewing time”.
@@HugeNasserVideos It's for a thing called "watch time". One of the most important metric that the CZcams algorithm looks at when deciding whether to suggest and promote a video or not. They do this stretching because they have to, if they want to get views... videos with bad watch time are not even being recommended to subscribers... it's crazy.
totally agree - a waste of time.
Testosterone is pretty much the reason we have a high functioning modern society.
"High functioning" lmao...no.
High functioning is all about emotional intelligence. We incarnate to experience adversity. Without adversity there is no growth. How you deal with adversity all comes down to coping mechanisms. Societies with good coping mechanisms thrive, societies with poor coping mechanisms see much more violence. People have hard time even just accepting variables in their lives as they are. We have little control over external variables but we 100% control how we view & process the external. There is ALWAYS death, disease, apathy, and destruction. There is also ALWAYS love, happiness, hope, and kindness. What you see is merely a reflection of your internal world. High functioning is a state of consciousness and this world needs to raise its resonance.

@@MLouah-gp9ef you are unable to define high functioning as it pertains to the root of your argument?!?! Who says something that they don't even comprehend themselves. Bruh...🤦♂️
It is a necessary component of a high-functioning society but certainly not a sufficient one (as is implied by your statement).
@@namehere4954 emotional intelligence is irrelevant to a point
So ive been going through the same thing as the first gentleman at 27yrs old. One of the first things i noticed in my first few doses on hrt is an overwhelming sense of wellbeing. Super calm, sedated almost it seems. Im very content. Keep in mind im also pushing my hormones to the higher side of of the scale. I could certainly be aggressive but i was more irritable and more violent before i started therapy. Since then i haven’t had a single moment of rage, havent snapped on my loved ones. In fact overall I’m more patient and that might because of my reaction to this new sense of well being but one things for sure I’m the least aggressive then i have ever been in my entire life.

@@Lolipop59 America.
Having taken testosterone a few times in my life to improve my physique (even though I now regret it), I can tell you that while on a cycle of testosterone I felt happier, slept better, had more energy, more confident… but also more emotional. This means I would snap at the slightest thing.
If you were emotional on hormone therapy or 1 gram a week lol. You didn't have control of your estrogen.
Did you actually improve eventually.. was it a proper cycle, proper PCT, proper diet before & after for maintenance?
Why do you regret this if it were to be proper?
I've never done it, hence I ask to know about it at mid age
Do you advice natural bodybuilder to use it ?
@@user-gw6pn4us3m natural means don't take it. But do avoid all estrogenic foods and drinks, especially tap water, soy, sweeteners and plastics!
Tap water is laden with estrogen.
Plastics and soy phytoestrogens etc .
@@user-gw6pn4us3m if your target is sports then probably.
I don't think anything comes close to consistency in workouts and decent diet, hydration, stretches, mind exercises, etc especially for young people from 20's to 30's to be natural.
Post that prime, where testosterone is at highest, so that young lads don't suppress their natural hormones, it should be safe to consider some kind of cycle afterwards for a better physique. With good PCT.
If guys above 40 have low T or less drive or gains, HRT TRT would be recommended. Else, a good cycle to follow - expect good results.
My experience with testosterone is it makes you more confident. I realized this when i suddenly found it easier to turn down sellers on the phone or people just asking for my charity. I knew my levels were low but i didn`t realize in wich degree it affected me. I am earlier diagnosed with Dysthymia, a mild chronical depression. My entire life has consisted of a complete lack of any goal or ambition. No drive whatsoever. Shit. I realize i don`t care enough about sex to try and do anything about it. I do have it, but i am usually alone. Guess i`ll start treatment again. Nothing to be ashamed of. Just the way it is. Stay testy.
damn, you just described me, guess i gotta go have my testosterone levels checked, hope you can overcome that sometime soon!
Are you overweight by any chance? Also how's it going
Just because you arnt confident that doesnt mean your low on test.... its an accumilation of other factors. There is a reason why doctors check your testy levels last. When everything else has been tried first and failed.
How? No doctors are willing to even test if my testosterone levels are low.
Stopping pornography change life for many i don't know if someone here use it but hey ! If you do try to flee from it ; )
omg, my story is exactly like the young guy in the beginning. But this starting happening in my 30s, for some I reason i just wasn’t feeling right, year over year, i slowly started to lose muscle mass, low mood, anxiety increased, night sweats so bad I thought I wet the bed, brain fog and zero motivation. This didn’t seem to me to be normal aging, but I had no idea what the heck was going until in my late 30s when it all manifested itself as extreme insomnia, full blown depression and anxiety. It was like I had a nervous breakdown but yet there was no trigger, nothing in my life was going on that that would cause it. Doctors thought i had depression or anxiety and was giving me all sort of pills for sleeping, the depression etc. But i kept telling them, there is something else going on, this isn’t normal for me. Then when I mentioned to my doctor I have been feeling kind of disconnected downstairs so to speak she immediately had a full hormone panel drawn. After suffering for so long, I finally had some kind of answer, my testosterone level came in at 234ng/dL. Second draw came in at 168ng/dL. After ruling out any tumors in my pituitary with an MRI, my endo started me on testosterone injections right away. The conclusion was the same, for some reason my HPTA was not sending enough signal for testosterone production and they have no idea why. Whatever the cause the treatment is the same. Within weeks and over the months and now couple of years, I have completely transformed. It’s like god himself raised me from the dead, all these odd symptoms I had had over the years completely went away. Not only do I feel like a normal person, I feel like I have reversed my age by atleast 10 years. It’s amazing how you feel with proper testosterone levels, I keep mine in the upper normal range right around 850ng/dL and feel pretty amazing.
I worked with a doctor who treated men with low test
I could see the men change, it was amazing
Specifically what treatment do you take now?
peter amokeodo I require TRT for life. They ran blood tests, did an MRI of my pituitary, no tumors, they could not find a reason why my testosterone was so low. Either way, 80mg of testestorone cyponiate once a week. Gets my TT up to around 850-900ng/dL at mid-week.
SRC yeah I can tell you, it’s a game changer. If i could describe it one word it would be pure “awesomeness”
I had a similar situation, been using Androgel for about 2 yrs now. The first 2 to 3 months taking it I noticed fast muscle gains and felt better than I had in a decade or more, but now it doesn't seem to have quite the same effect as at first, and I'm still not as motivated as I would like to be.
I hope someone gets to read this. This is basically a reply to comments where I'm seeing some arguments (or something) about western culture, feminism and other things like that not a response to this post per se.
In my opinion, none of us are listening to each other. Wouldn't it be great if we all listen, man or woman, knowing that rightness and wrongness don't belong to a gender. Evil has no gender either. I am a woman, and I know that there's been generational oppression that women are acting out now. What should be men's protective nature has wounded some of us, our mothers were controlled, slaves to people who are their lovers, sometimes beaten and our daughters were sold as pricy properties, check history. Where I am, I've had to push really had to take away this 'I am a property mindset.' It legit messes up with a woman's mind. In lots of African cultures, a woman is only whole and valid, if she is married. If not, she's her father's. Till someone comes get her.
But men have their own grievances too, some men have worked out their asses for their families, and have been treated badly by their wives. Some men go through emotional, mental and even physical abuse too, caused by women.
Someone's reality doesn't invalidate your own. Yeah, extremities hurt. But a lot of people are just sharing their reality buh our insecurities make us feel attacked.
Empathy is a human thing. When you sit and think that you didn't choose your gender, that nature gave it to you, you will not feel so entitled to anything. Nobody owes you bullshit. We are all flawed. We are more than chemicals in our body. When we realize we have things to fix in ourselves, we would be ready to change. Selah!
Thank you.
I got your point. Very wise.
Well said.
THIS
At least u are accepting that men go through stuff too.
And men are not respected if they are not married tooo. Ppl will assume all kind of things if a man is not married and equate us to weekness.
Boys got sold as slaves and get raped too.But i agree that these effects are more on women.
All power was in hands of few men not all in the past. Men were slaved and beaten to death but no one cares saying "men did to men".
I would say low levels of testosterone create fogginess in the mind which can lead to indecisiveness, lack of motivation, and concentration. So normal or high T levels will create mind clarity, strategize a lot better, and overall feel good about your self (confidence). I dont believe generosity was the factor I think it was overall being more logical to the outcome which may have looked of being generous.
I think staying at the normal range is always best. It's not advisable to have high T. It's like depression and mania, both are very dangerous. Staying in-between is best.
Being insulin resistant will also do that. Men need to boycott sugar and get on keto. The modern diet is killing us.
I have low testosterone then🗿
@@Eza_yuta yes🗿
I had that issue. I thought I was depressed, but I did a T test and my levels were very low. I just started loading with a pill supplement and I felt back to normal within 2 weeks.
This was such an interesting videos and I learned a lot. As male I think it is a good thing to learn and understand a hormone that makes up you and influences how you act. The scientific tests were really interesting, and how prenatal levels of testosterone affects your level of empathy, vocabulary, and analytical thinking.
Testosterone doesn’t make you angry instead it has opposite effect. Those who go through vigorous physical activity are more calm than those with low testosterone.
In male body, low testosterone can actually make you moody and even small things can make you angry.
I am not sure about that, it is not conclusive. What i can tell you is the type of exercise and how physically active the person is, that is a key, today modern men in developed countries are less active with their legs, walking and lifting heavy weights. Leg work promotes testosterone production, sedentary individuals tend to lose a lot of testosterone production. Too much exercise can be negative, i think a balance is needed. The problem is that everything today is artificial, guys are eating gmo proteins and steroids, so nothing is what it seems really. Artificial methods deflate our own body testosterone production, so bigger no healthier. But exercise is key imo, a good balance is a must.
It can go both ways. It really comes down to what type of person you are.
It's the inbalance not that it's low because either too low or too high can make someone more angry.
Anger has little to do with Testosterone, but Cortisol resorption.
Sure, Testosterone can make you more motivated and driven. This can be good or bad depending on your personality traits, like Narcissism or Psychopathy, driven by blunted dopamine responses, driven by certain genotypes of DRD4 dopamine receptor genes.
93% of all violent prisoners in prison have the DRD4 genotype. Mixed with COMT the warrior gene, it can lead to extreme violence, or controlled violence, depending on brain structure and upbringing.
Entrepreneur Behavior also plays a key factor. But cause of being angry or aggressive is not unidimensional. Our hormones also have some part in it.
But adequate amount of Testosterone gives men confidence and a sense of calmness. If you have too low, the person can get really moody.
thanks for creating this informative documentary.
Women need testosterone too, so there ought to be some research on levels of testosterone in women. I imagine a smaller dose of testosterone therapy for women could result in increased energy and aid in focusing on goals. These are beneficial to both sexes. Also, they didn't mention whether it can aid in losing weight, just that having a big belly causes testosterone to decrease. It would also be useful to mention natural foods or nutrients that cause more production of testosterone that could be a more balanced solution.
Yes thanks for your comment, I agree, why ‘male’ hormone, women have it to, as someone who suffers from very low levels it has taken a long time to be taken seriously by doctors, finally I have a prescription and can lead a normal life again, more noise needs to be made about this especially as the only place it is regulating the world for some is Australia!!
@Sammy my main symptoms were very high stress levels and anxiety from too much cortisol not being controlled as well as depression but worst has been the chronic insomnia, it would certainly cause depression if too low in women!!
Amazing, how small mechanisms can destroy us so much, and lead to various diseases,
I'm going through almost identical situations,

The world needs the Divine Masculine now more than ever. Thank you to all the Men.
Tell that the tiktok
That's really sweet.
The divine masculine?!
As opposed to the mythic masculine?!
There s nothing divine about testosterone. However, it s mythic through and through
@@archiej6386 Have you never heard about the divine masculine and divine feminine? The Yin and Yang? The sexual polarisation? The true gender traits that men and women search in one another and makes them genetically able to live together and work together as a couple or family unit?
Women want to be in their feminine, a woman wants a gentle leader that gives the best of himself each day without talking about yesterday. A leader that does not tell her what to do, but goes first, or leads by example. A man that's a rock that does not match his opinion to hers. A man who can stand up for himself, so he can stand up for her. A guy she can't have her way with. A dude that can listen ans ask questions until he understands and does not argue or give unsolicited advice whilst listening to her. That's the divine masculinity. The thing women test when they look straight into your eyes when smiling, to see if you look away first, to test your masculinity, over and over, so she knows she's safe and can open herself emotionally and physically. We, or at least I, as a man search for the divine feminine (as women search for the divine masculine) and complement it when I spot it.

Total bias. " Excessive masculinity " that's a pretty heavily biased term.

i went 5 years with no testosterone before i got diagnosis and treatment, it made me severely mentally and physically ill.
Been doing testosterone therapy for 2 years now. I am 42. Started with levels of 325. I was tired, depressed etc.. I am now at 900 with great levels of free testo, feel amazing. Cortisol way down, estrogen under control.. it is good to feel alive!
TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) will ruin your life, regardless of what you FEEL now, it is a trap. It will destroy your hormonal and cardiovascular systems. Get out of it

Great Video DW. Thank you.
I was having a really bad time with vocabulary. I would just lose it. I couldn't tell you to open a door because the word just suddenly wasnt there. I did a lot of reading and discovered it might be related to testosterone. Got tested, was on the low end, doc prescribed it, vocabulary problem went away immediately. Weird.
As a woman diagnosed with abnormally high testosterone level by an OBGYN, I think I would fit well with many observations discussed in this documentary: much longer ring finger than index finger, poor social and verbal skills at early ages, good analytical and mathematical skills since an early age, very generous when I have the capacity for giving to others, but harsher retaliation when felt being treated unfairly... the list goes on...
I read the comments before starting the video... oh boy, people are TRIGGERED. (Looking forward to the video XD)
Triggered or outraged by actual violated
Certain youtube crowds are aggressive. But is it related to testo levels? Research needed.
@@peppigue Perhaps it's what they've been indoctrinated with, either way. However, I am seventy years old and I have noticed that the younger men of today do seem to have less vigor. And do not like to do as much physical labor as the young men of my day. I really enjoyed the physical aspect of my work all my life. Sure, I got tired but I felt good most of the time. I understand that upbringing and education have a role to play also. Parents generally want a better, easier life for their children, which may effect how they bring them up. My personal opinion is that kids spend too much time playing video games and their lives are tied up in social media. I believe sun and fun would be much better for them. But you are on to something here that should be investigated. Perhaps society as a whole is causing narcissism to be embedded into our children. Which may explain the amount of rancor we see in so many comments.
I'm not seeing anyone triggered, what are you talking about???

I've had chronically low T from a lifetime of long distance running. TRT truly gave me back my quality of life. I was able to quit antidepressants and my energy levels are through the roof. I feel phenomenal, and I'm not at all more aggressive. It was a gradual improvement over about 6 months from starting TRT. With these results, I have zero problem staying on TRT the rest of my life.
May i ask you, at what age did you felt that your T is low ?
A lot of your problems disappearing are from stopping ant-depressants..
Until you have had hormone treatment which stops the production of testosterone and your testes shrink to the size of your pinky nail do you realise what it does to your body. Testosterone inhibitor make you aggressive, where you were not before. Likewise when you stop the Testosterone inhibitor you again become aggressive. This is because a change in hormone production throws everything out of kilter.
The Andrologists are still trying to discover how testosterone affects the body and brain.

Bravo. Superlative as always.
Testosterone deficiency _can_ be a symptom of pituitary tumour and/or brain cancer - Endocrinologists usually require a brain MRI - as a routine precaution to rule this out as a potential cause of downstream hypogonadism - before commencing TRT.
Been on testosterone replacement since 2014 - age 46 I became morbidly obese (from 90kg to 128kg within six months, and I’m 6’ or 183cm tall btw), constantly exhausted and depressed … it was only when doing a charity fundraiser at work that requires growing a moustache that I suspected the problem might be testosterone - all the other guys had magnificent moustaches after the first week but mine looked like the wispy fuzz on the upper lip of a pubescent teenager.
Went to an endocrinologist and after a year of various other treatments they put me on testosterone gel and the effects were _dramatic_ - the fat melted away like I was a snowman in the sun and the first week I felt like I was taking ecstasy every morning. For the first time in years I felt really good.
I have “hypogonadal hypertrophism” and a severe deficiency. Had also been on opiate pain medication for years (not anymore) which was a contributing factor and made the problem even worse.
Just btw, if your body isn’t producing enough Testosterone blood tests will show high levels of *SHBG* - sex hormone binding globulin - which indicates the body trying to requisition all available testosterone.
I will probably be on testosterone indefinitely altho my levels are checked every six months. It’s been a lifesaver for me.
NB - Long term treatment with opiate analgesics can cause *Opioid Induced Endocrinopathy* which dramatically affects sex hormone production, and the main symptom in men is hypogonadism, so if you require long term pain management, try to avoid synthetic opiates like fentanyl etc - and especially those with a long half-life, like methadone and LAAM.
I'm just happy to see that a programme produced by a Western European outlet in 2019 acknowledges there are biological differences between men and women!

No it won't. See those dad bods beer gives? Their T levels are a joke
I was thinking the same thing... This no-testosterone guy is constantly drinking beer... Is that a work place requirement?
he’s german what do you expect
I don't think I'd change my levels, I like who I am, how I think, how I feel.. I feel properly balanced, even though my beard doesn't grow on much of half of my face.. I also look very youthful for my age, and have a very feminine male appearance in my facial structure, except for my nose, which has a strong humped bridge.. I have a very hairy chest and big pectorals, biceps, forearms, and leg muscles, but I'm a sensitive soul, cry when I have to hurt people (though if I know I can take it and don't fear for my life, will just let people beat on me,) and Inside, I feel half female, half male, though I am straight in sexual preference and physical identity. Spiritually I feel like a balanced masculine/feminine soul. I am secure in myself.. Very secure...
I think it's all about self acceptance, and having others accept you and reinforce you positively, that leads to happiness and comfort in ones body, though some don't need reinforcement. They reinforce themselves, like myself...
I'm sure testosterone has its highs and lows though, like any chemical change...

Hello -- This presentation was absolutely excellent -- as a person who is in a resident of a policy where non-essential employees must stay at home --- your detailed journey from start to finish really opened my eyes to how we all can be transmitters of the virus (fecal or oral) -- also appreciated the fact that you did not "dummy down" your presentation. You introduced me to the technical terms associated with the general condition of ARDS and how this development relates to a variety of SARS type scenarios --- The most compelling aspect was the systematic destruction and eventual collapse of the air sacks and how that leads to an accumulation of bio-type waste that begins to fill the lungs taking up space and not allowing the lungs to expand- the other point was the "tiring out" which becomes the indicator that the person needs help breathing and a respirator or ventilator is required to help the person breath.--- the other thing which I found shocking was how our own immune system in the process of reacting to what is an invader can cause damage to the lung in the process of doing its job. I like it gets overly zealous and begins to go after everything. I heard of Sepsis but did not know what it entails -- organ failure and internal bleeding -- Septic Shock -- a number of celebrities died due to Septic Shock. I have a much better understanding of the role I can play to help flatten the curb and that is to stay at home and practice social distancing as required. In closing please continue to remain technical in your presentations -- Start to finish it holds the attention of viewers like myself I want to know the technical process and associated jargon -- Please do not hesitate to be "academic" it is not frightening and it is not a turnoff. Often this is believed to be the case -- I remember SARS and I heard of MERS but did not know what each stood for now I do -- and the possible role of the civet, camel, pangolin played in the developmental process of preparing the virus to be transmitted to humans. The role of the bat in this process -- I know bats have been associated with the birth of the Ebola Virus. Looking forward to one of your future presentations --- Thank you for doing what you are doing !!

My husband found two effects of testosterone cream. Helped a knee injury when rubbed directly on the knee. Knee got hairy fyi. Also he got irritated at bad drivers whearas he never let bad drivers bother him. He would stop the topical cream as soon as he was bothered by the poor driving habits of others ( no turn signals, last second lane changes the typical inattentive driving ). Hope this helps.
Honestly if he's on and off the cream alot his hormones will be up and down which makes people unstable emotionally, best way is regular injections maybe 2 times a week. Keeps the blood levels at a constant.
@@plasticface333 hi Bob, my husband seems very stable emotionally so I don't think the cream spikes the body with hormone. Just an observation. Stay safe

The researchers completely missed that in the first study, the boosted acts of generosity had to do with being observed. This is not, at it's heart, purely pro-social behavior in the form of actual generosity. This so-called "generosity" is therefore at its heart self-oriented, i.e., selfish, and advantage-seeking. That is inherently non-sharing behavior, because its underlying motivation is for personal gain, especially where sexual advantage is concerned, apparently, since it occurs often when women are observing according to the narrative. A typical overlook that men will make when observing men's behavior, I'd say.
Interesting viewpoint, though I wonder if your statements are based on science/ fact/ study vs your biased opinion. It kinda comes off in a negative tone, but that may very well be due to the fact that I exercise generosity for the benefit of the person(s) receiving it. I've been at points in my life where generosity at the hands of others, both known and unknown to me, really moved me emotionally, and answered questions I didn't ask, whether it be for pride, embarrassment, or self-proclaimed independence (aka "I don't need anybody's help; I can get there on my own.") It took me years (I'm 47) to find a comfort level in accepting other people's acts of generosity in the spirit that it's given. Of course, there are those who perform these acts for the sake of gaining recognition/ acknowledgement/ etc, and have negative responses when they feel they didn't receive it. But that's not applicable to everyone, regardless of gender. I credit it more to individual experiences, growth, maturity, and viewpoints.

Yep, after taking it, body gets lazy and doesnt produce on its own.
Yeah he quit taking it a few weeks to a month before the test and he was bottomed out!
High testosterone in men is linked to higher longevity. It causes you to be fitter and leaner, therefore not obese and susceptible to weight related comorbidities.
@Waldel Martell for most people, eating healthier. Working out some. And getting enough sleep is enough to balance hormone levels optimally as is. Though there are a fair number of exceptions to this.
I think I normally have high testosterone, but after 2 years of quarantine with very little time outdoors, I’ve noticed some symptoms. However, I found simply going outdoors and laying in bright sunlight for an hour makes the symptoms go away for a week. I tried vitamin D supplements during the winter but only actual sunlight seems to work, so I guess I need at least 1 hour of sun per week.
The take-away: "Testosterone influences our personality, and our personality in turn influences our level of testosterone." This chicken-egg conundrum is found in all so-called life sciences. Someone ought to compile a list of instances where the cause is also the effect. It would be a very long one.
Hell yeah I aint watching this whole thing now. Thanks bro

all of the results of the first experiment can be described in just one behavior - it makes a man more assertive/active.

I wasted 2 years of my life after being misdiagnosed with depression. A year on SSRIs then another year on MAOIs to no benefit. After being prescribed 5mg/24hr patches I was back to my old self within 90 days.
Exactly! So many men are being misdiagnosed with Genetic Depression. When in reality they suffer from Low T.
I went to the VA and showed them my levels were low. The doc said well you have to have 6 different test, it will take 6 Months before we can give you TRT. In the same breath he said well I have Anti Depression Medications I can get you on right away?
I was shocked! Like doc you seen my levels are extremely low. Yet you push SSRI meds on me?
Testosterone gives you the ability to think with a sound mind and makes you a happier man overall. You are more driven and competitive which is very important in life. If someone has an attitude and is arrogant that is because they weren’t raised properly or don’t have proper morals. Testosterone is a hormone and if it’s low you will experience physical and mental health issues
Not Always true. For transgender women Is Essential to get rid of testosterone And most of them would confirm it's causing aggression hidden in competitive approach. Testosterone can cause Anxiety And depression as well for some type of people, usually for trans people.
@@VladaDudak you took a very very very non-comparable example. That in being transgender women, to a biological male who doesn't have any gender dysphoria (presumably). I don't think your basis of aggression versus the nuance of an individual who is transgender can accurately give any more insight of your information versus the op comment.
Equally if u have too much of it u become a handful for people.
Always shouting short tempered and edging on paranoid. Over alpha maling talking over people sometimes without noticing.
People that have low test also may have a life without conflict and uncertaintly. They are more reserved and well behaved and less risk taking. In many ways a more stable man than an alpha type
Sometimes certain personalities and characters are better off with less natural testosterone.
While im a strong advocate for trt for people with low test it is not a good idea for so many people to now believe its the answer to their personality flaws or motivation deficits....testosterone is sometimes a driving factor but its not usually the sole source of problems.
@@jessier907 perfect answer

I've been on TRT for 10+ years. I just want to add to the comments here the importance of the form of test you take. Different esters. Propionate, cypionate, enantate, nebido (undecanoate). They feel different. They affect sleep and your energy differently. They are not the same! For me Propionate is much better. But people are different. At least compare one long ester and the short one (propionate).

My bone density has always been low even when I was in my 30’s. Now that I’m 50, it’s even lower. I think this all has to do with PCOS b/c of the effect it has on hormones. I also have felt like I had no energy all my life but especially since I was 40. I’ve also struggled with depression. I think it’s all linked together. It’s a crappy card to be dealt.
From my perspective testosterone just magnifies what you already have or what you wanna do and induces impulsiveness and increases your energy levels indirectly.

It’s high levels of estrogen that cause mood swings. You will find that men with high testosterone can sometimes aromatise the testosterone to Estrogen. This is when they are aggressive
High estradiol is far more likely to cause emotional instability and "mood swings" than high testosterone. Not saying the cardiovascular and ocular issues aren't awful as well but, the whole mood swings and aggression is more related to estradiol and progesterone. Not Testosterone DHT and Nandrolone.
