- You've probably seen the commercials about testosterone and how it can give guys the boost they need.. But there are risks. Dr. Koushik Shaw with the Austin Urology Institute joined KXAN News Today to explain.

Take all the test that you want. We need every tool at our disposal to fight this attack on masculinity.
Lol you can't fight it
Lets be honest here, There is no war on Masculinity just like there is no “war on christmas”.
Haha sucks this new generation of girls are more masculine than the fairy boys
You have a brick for a head. That is your level of stupidity.
@Bac000 bro why
Why is she calling it boosters? This ain't no herbs she's talking about he's talking about real testosterone not boosters smh
Frank Canino I agree with you there is no such thing as testosterone booster that works.
Алексей Лесуков you fucking Russians shouldn’t be on this you fuckers have high testosterone naturally lmao
Алексей Лесуков Russians have studied the adaptogens that also boost testosterone and much more for more than 50 years for example Eleuthrocossus. And also astralagus and also ginseng do your research guys you did need no synthetic drugs in this instance
Seriously. I want to know if any OTC stuff works, doesn't work, or works temporarily, or if it has harsh side effects. I'm not ready for TRT yet, but wouldn't mind a little up tick in my T levels without getting gyno, or mood swings.
@@adamrnmiller did u ever try and testosterone boosters
This video doesn't really say much of anything to be honest... Truth is, the average test levels of men have dropped significantly over the past 40+ years. It's probably due to a number of factors including shifting from more physical and/or outdoor work to being on and starting at a computer screen for work and largely spending more time indoors, but the bigger factor is probably our food. Even if you eat healthy, fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. None of it as as nutrient dense as it used to be. The fertilizers, soil, chemicals and drugs used to grow our food has all been for the purpose of growing MORE food, but much of it contains a fraction of the nutritional value it used to in terms of vitamins and other micronutrients. That's not really a problem that can be solved by personal choices unless you grow your own food.
Taking too much of ANYTHING-TRT, OxyContin, cookies, beer, pizza, pussy-can and will kill you. Also, never take advice from an MD who speaks on a medical subject when they’ve received zero specialized training in hormone replacement.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
even coochie my brotha???
@@meteyavuz3301 Choochie can empty your bank account bro, and you’ll wish you were dead.
Lol idiot
Testosterone boosters are a combination of few vitamins and minerals so I don’t understand why its bad
You can actually overdose on vitamins, or even die if you down a lot of them every day.
@@synergy4658 yeah if you take a huge amount
Too much of anything is bad. Including vitamins 😑
Because you beat up your prostate…
@@synergy4658 To much water is bad to. If you drink to much, if you inhale it, if it's got parasites or bacteria in it. etc. The point is don't be silly.
A lot of people don’t realize the healthiest way to boost your testosterone is by exercising, specifically weight lifting but calisthenics also works, honestly any exercise is better than none at all lol
True but if you are in your 50s and 60s and want quality of life you likely need testosterone treatment and growth hormone otherwise you will fall apart no matter how much you exercise. If however you are young, you DO NOT need it because your body makes enough testosterone
Diet also can help someone produce more testosterone
I'm to tied to lift weights and exercise 😂
Testosterone has decreased 1% every year since 1980. We need to get back to the same levels as our grandfathers
But how?
Diet, seed oils, micro plastics, chemicals ect need to be reduced as much as possible.
Exercise, eat good for good biome and reduced inflammation, supplements vitamins is a good start
@@Illness.og. +stop watching Phub, fapping, go to the GYM
Lifting weights- particularly compound exercises such as squats, deadllifts pull ups bench press and high intensity interval training exercises such as hill sprints. Reduce stress and work on getting good quality sleep. Ensure you consume healthy fats such as avocados , eggs , salmon, tuna. Ensure your Vitamin D and zinc levels are optimal ( consider supplements if levels are inadequate).
I think her test is higher than his. Eat healthy, exercise, drink water, and take that test booster you'll be fine.
I agree
I'm fine now 💪
He looks to be low on testosterone himself
A Ali lmao
💀😂
☠️☠️☠️
Correct
And sounds like it
Fasting for 24 hour's and Drinking a lot of water with oh I don't no a 3 mile walk for a month and eating normal portions every other day. You can start to see a different but you have to be dedicated. Many of us are not and try taking short cuts and life dose not work that way. We all want to make changes and we talk about doing them but then we end up on phone right back into our habits of eating way too much and not wanting to be active I mean Heck if you work in a store or a factory where you are moving around a lot that's great exercise right there. You don't need a gym membership in this case.
Im 37 and my test is at 760.
Here’s my life advice:
- Avoid sugar and alcohol
- Do high intensity exercise at least 2x a week.
- avoid artificial sweeteners and colors
- fluoride free toothpaste
- buy a water distiller
- skip breakfast
- take vitamins
Edit: I went to the doctor last month (4/02/22) and my test was now at 892. 🤔

@@simplyengineering2350 low carbs lower your T?
@@liamliam5341 I don't remember by how much but yes, not eating or eating too little carbs will lower T production and free levels. The best form of carbs will be vegetables, unprocessed grains, and some fruits. With a little search you can find a large list of good carbs, not all carbs are the same, bad carbs can lower T levels. Carbs from good sources get used more effeciently. Many notice they've more energy to expend when they switch to eating good carbs. When a good diet is mixed with a good physical routine the benefits begin to stack really well. Cheers.
@@simplyengineering2350 thanks! I tried the basically the no carb diet for a short time, and I felt weak as hell. My friend swore the weakness would go away after I got use to it, but I did not stick with it, so I was not sure. I was thinking about trying the carnivore diet for a week or so just to see if I could make it if I ate a lot more.
@@liamliam5341 Sounds like carb flu. Going no carb can be beneficial if you have a higher percentage in body fat to burn off, having a high fat percentage can lower T more than goin no carb. The transition into ketosis(fat burning mode) is quite rough. Fat burns slower than carbs do so if you exercise or lift weights then you will also notice a lack in performance, strength, and effort. You could try replacing bad carbs with good carbs for a week before going carnivore. Swapping your bad carbs for good carbs can be very beneficial. Cheers.
Good advice years gone by. Nowadays the trt audience let alone their doctors know a lot about the benefits of testosterone. The genie is out of the bag namely!

Andoniades No
Ricky LaFleur gree-heee -sssyyy
TRT is not a booster and under proper medical supervision it is a life saver. Why didn’t you have an endocrinologist on as this is not a specific field that is dealt within urology. In fact this was admitted to me by a urologist in my local hospital. You seem to be going down a very one sided view. As for the interviewer you need to bone up on your subject, it’s not a weather report.
Youre an idiot

The advice to be as healthy as possible before starting any treatment is right though.
Ironic that the advertisement before this video was for a testosterone booster. lol
Not at all
Just means you been watching T booster videos before coming to this video.

52 thin and healthy here. Tried TRT for a few months and had chest pain and high blood pressure. It’s not for everyone.
Lower the dose?
Great advice, and a fair and helpful review to protect people from just throwing anything into their body with no regard to their current health issues or possible side effects of taking something.
Micro doses….same amount prescribed in week but delivered in 2 or 3 injection via an insulin 27 or 29 gauge 1 ml pin IM (muscle) helps alleviate the yo-yo effect and mimics the body’s own test release…gotta find the smallest amount to achieve that wellbeing state. Having low t is maybe probably gonna cause as many health probs as high blood pressure on trt jn the long run
Interestingly he says interestingly alot
Bottom line he’s losing business. The cardiac issue has been debunked
Is this true
Depends on the dose . Too much of anything is bad anyway
What do y'all think the best vitamins are for testosterone
He literally keeps dodging the main question and just says check these areas first with your doctor and dont self diagnose by saying it's low testosterone just come over to our clinics and pay hundreds of dollars for us to tell you a bunch of crap 🤦♂️

If i miss my injection i get depression, anxiety, muscle loss, mood swings and my chronic fatigue syndrome is worse! Over 20 years of testosterone injection. Ive been low since mid 20s. He explained that I have had problems with testosterone for a long time. My gut gets fat too. But my shoulders lose muscle and instantly on my arms . Always had teasonable biceps naturally from age of 18 i was weight training. Split routine of 4 days on 3 days off. Now i struggle with mental fog,forgetful, and massive loss of libido. Specialist told me i peaked too early and dropped too early. Any reply appreciated thanks from Australia! Btw in Australia they lowered the testosterone score from 11 to 6. For me to function properly i need to be at 30 minimum!
Try celibacy.
Nice placebo
Hey Mate fellow Aussie here. Look on CZcams regarding microdosing test. Loads of videos a few community’s now following this way myself included. Without goin into it here, addresses probs that arise from one big shot every 2/3 weeks and breaks them down to more natural rise a fall of bodies own production. The only way to go in my opinion
@@Opendjr thanks heaps! I'm going to have to check it out. Cheers
@@dragan3290 btw mate…I’ve been prescribed test for nearly 10 years and my most recent visit to doctors… 2 new ones as I couldn’t get in early enough to see my usual gp. Both refused to write me a script, said they were happy to refer me to endo and to take it from there, fair enough they didn’t know me, so back to my usual GP and he did the same thing, only i wasnt taking this refusal so lightly and argued with him politely, he’s written it for years now so why the hassle ? I mean surely they know u been on it for years and that you cant just stop not without both physical and mental health issues….he didn’t seem to care but said he would write a referral for an endo, which I would’ve gladly accepted if he could write me a script as I was in complete shut down and beside myself and depressed as hell. Basically said he was too worried about getting into trouble from medical board or whoever controls them and didn’t need the hassle. Doctors oath ‘first do no harm” what a joke, more like save ur own arse first patients second. So went back to one of the other doctors..a female doc with good reputation and i was up front and honest explained my predicament and that i had no desire to go off test for 3 months just so an endo could tell me what i already knew and maybe then write me a script. I told her that and that i had sourced my own test illegally and that I wanted her to monitor me with all regular check ups that would go along with replacement therapy. I made her aware of the many channels like “trt optimisation” So not only was she happy to be my doctor and monitor all this stuff but she encouraged me to share links and any other vital information that might help educate her in that role, as she was aware how far behind GPs are in regards to administration and frequency techniques now being used by the broader and often better educated community out there. Thought i should share this with you…theres more then one way to skin a cat and to do it safely…only tricky bit is of course im forced to break a law to source my own medicine. All things considered dont do this unless u find a good GP that can look after you with regular testing etc. bit long winded but important to share the problems here in australia
There are few risks to testosterone usage other than too high or too low and as T itself is so beneficial. E2 is the one that can be metabolized into a carcinogenic form by the liver.
Interesting............
.....ly
Some good info but some seems outdated. For men having low testosterone as well as low estrogen levels are considered the most dangerous for having cardiac issues. Every man is different and the only advice that I can give that is 100% is that every man should get a blood test to see where his current levels of testosterone total and Free Testosterone are at now , as well as your estrogen or estradiol levels. Guys that just want testosterone to gain muscle and running a super high range are opening a whole bunch of health issues that are undesirable and can cause serious complications.
50 years ago the average T levels were nearly double what they are now. Strange.
yes, its if its low to begin with u get it to normal levels. natural testosterone peaks at a point, above that theres no benefit really
Testosterone vs nitro oxide boosters. Can we use both together or is better to take one over the other?
Eat watermelon cucumber and arugula. Thank me later..
Well my T is off the charts. I kegel daily and sip garlic, onion water. I eat celery with watermelon regularly.
Her legs, heels got my attention to watch this entire interview 🥳
Yes. She has nice legs.
The average testosterone levels today are half of what they were 50 years ago. Ironic ey?
why?

Does Blue Star Boost your test effect this, or has this ✌️risk✌️ into them?
The definition of doctor has become ambiguous. He is a urologist, not an endocrinologist. Much of what he said however was not that far off, he could have worded it much less confusing though. It all starts with getting a blood test and finding out your total testosterone, and your free testosterone. That's the right way vs "throwing" blindly testosterone at the symptoms he described.

Why
Lots of doc saying the opposite....look at research for low T and heart desease
Winner of a video, I have been researching "medicine to increase testosterone level in male" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Fonliver Qeyadelyn Trick - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
intrestingly hmm
Make sure you have you scrubs on on a TV set and not a hospital 😉 it make it more legit lol
When you realize it's all acting.
Driving a car is very risky too 😬 🤷🏽♂️
If your working out I the gym and you want to take testosterone boosters, you should take testosterone boosters once you are in your 40's. When you're in your 20's and thirties, you really don't need to take testosterone boosters yet.
Been crying after I started a booster
Why
Right right right
Plus this is a 10 year old. Video. The industry has grown. What we didnt know now we do know. Tylenol can raise your chances for heart conditions. Exercise never helped my lobito like TRT has done for me👍👍👍👍👍👍
Right, right, right...!
U just want us to come and buy it from you instead of the supp store.

How come whenever doctors are doing interviews they always wear scrubs? We already know they're a doctor they don't need to wear the scrubs it's so ridiculous it's almost funny

Am I the only one that saw the word testosterone mospelled in the beginning? ...set the tone for this whole video
You misspelled a word yourself.
Vitamin b is good for nerves it help to prevent ed I got ed from pfizer vaccine I feel burning sensation tingle and when I google these symptom I found nerves damage.
Niacin is a good form of B but hard to find the niacin thats not extended release or none-flush. Nicotinamide riboside, nicotinamide mononucleotide, and NAD have been proven to regenerate nerves and blood vessles.
I'd be more likely to follow this doctor's advice about testosterone if I knew for a fact that he slept with the interviewer after the interview, or at least attempted to.
This just got better. Birth control included. I’m guessing this doctor didn’t read the ingredients in Testosterone boosters.
Live healthy…sleep…eat right…..light weights !!
Taking too much testosterone, can cause estrogen levels to increase.This can lead to some serious problems, I thought of trying TRT,but,I kept thinking about what you would take to block estrogen. Unfortunately, I'm way too old now.I heard a supplement called.DIM is a good estrogen blocker,but. I hear it hasn't been proven to actually work. Anyway the thought of my testicles shrinking just wouldn't be worth it. Too much testosterone is thought to enlarge the heart. Look at all the professional wrestlers who were juicers You would be amazed how many died of heart failure!!
Increased T is linked to increased Heart disease. Steroids is bad mkay. There are many supplements that raise T without raising Estrogen. Tongkat ali and fadogia agrestis are an excellent pair. Look them up.
Clomid and arimidex would fix those problems
Estrogen has a protective factor on the heart killing ur estrogen completely with blockers is not heart healthy, just as important in men as in women. Nor is it recommended to block e on trt….different story if your on a cycle doin 400mgs test a week
Sure
At 24 years my T level is 411. So I'm in the clear as far as normal goes.
Not exactly. I take 3 shots a month just to get mine around 700 , im 41. at 24 you should still have high. when the morning wood goes away or you go limp its to far gone then
Do you feel normal at 411 ng/dL ?
@@chrisc7566 411 is average range. 700 is considered to be really high. Not in the steroids range but still really high. If you're gettings TRT instead of acknowledging the issue causing the lowered T then you're going to end up with more problems when you're older, and you'll need TRT for the rest of your life.
2020 anyone?
Ok
1) This physician has low testosterone. Ask anyone on TRT.
2) Testosterone isn't highest in the morning for all men. It depends on a lot of factors, such as sleep cycle.
3) There is not a single study in existance that shows harm by raising testosterone in a group of men. None. Nada. Zero. Find me any study where they raised testosterone levels in a group of men and it caused harm and I'll eat my show live on youtube.
4) It's not a testosterone "boost". You can't boost your testosterone by taking testosterone. It's testosterone replacement therapy.
5) You don't need to have measurably low levels to have symptoms of low testosterone.
6) I know a few thousand men who got on on TRT and feel like a million bucks, and get all the benefits that you claim won't happen. Please continue to enjoy your low testosterone levels.
7) Why would the usage need to be tracked? Does this occur with diabetes patients? No!
8) He claims that only the wrong type of therapy can decrease sperm count. ANY AMOUNT of exogenous testosterone will decrease sperm count!
9) Having low sperm count is dangerous? Who gets hurt? Where are all the dead bodies? What the hell are you talking about?
10) Testosterone LOWERS your risk of heart disease. It doesn't raise or risk or worsen it. Otherwise every teenage boy you know would have heart disease. Heart disease occurs as you age and your testosterone levels start to DROP.
11) Damn good thing this didn't air on the "commercials".
Where do you find these "experts"??
If there were more 'Erins' around nobody would need any TRT. Good lord

Before trying to increase your testosterone levels, PLEASE get a P.S.A. test. Most prostate cancer cells rely on testosterone to grow.
Look at this guy
Threw a lot of things in the blender. She framed the question as what would hapoen if one takes too much. Then he pivoted to TRT in the end. I clicked the vid to find if simply taking boosters is dangerous as the title states, far out.
Messing with your hormones can cause cancer, so yes, it can be dangerous. If you're going to use steroids (TRT is steroids) make sure you do it through an actual doctor not a bro pharmacy. As he said your testosterone levels could already be within the proper range.
TRADUCIR AL ESPAÑOL PORFAVOR !!!!
Right right
Maybe its not "booster" technically i dont care by what term its specified. Facts are mine is extremely low
So what can be taken to raise the levels to a safe normal range?
So 8 years ago, feminist agend is already there.
