Mindsip insights from this episode:
Evaluate D-Aspartic acid effects for active men
D-Aspartic acid may not boost testosterone in men who are already performing regular resistance training.
Incorporate 'exercise snacks' to boost testosterone levels
Instead of long gym sessions, you can boost testosterone by doing 'exercise snacks,' which are quick mini-workouts like push-ups fitted into your day.
Choose Finasteride over Fenugreek for effective DHT blocking
The speaker prefers taking 1mg of the medication Finasteride over Fenugreek because it is better studied for blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
Increase estradiol levels with fenugreek supplementation
In one study, men taking fenugreek saw their estradiol, a form of estrogen, increase by 26%.
Prioritize DHEA supplements for women over men
Multiple studies show DHEA supplements do not appear to increase testosterone levels in men, unlike the effect seen in women.
Limit TMG dosage to manage LDL cholesterol levels
High doses of TMG (Betaine), between 2 and 4 grams, can increase LDL cholesterol, which is why a lower dose of 500mg may be preferable.
Beware potential DNA damage from Tongkat Ali
The European Food Safety Authority has raised concerns about the potential for Tongkat Ali to cause DNA damage.
Boost testosterone with L-Arginine and confidence enhancement
L-Arginine may boost testosterone not just through blood flow, but because feeling more confident from treating erectile dysfunction can psychologically trigger more testosterone release.
