Mindsip insights from this episode:

Address study selection bias in testosterone decline research

Some studies showing a testosterone decline are questionable because they only tested men who were already referred by a doctor for suspected low testosterone, which doesn't represent the general public.

Prioritize weight loss to enhance testosterone levels

For obese men, weight loss is identified as the first-line intervention to boost testosterone levels, and medications like Tirzepatide can help with this process.

Reassess testosterone levels with newer testing methods

The perceived drop in testosterone levels coincides with a switch to newer testing methods that tend to give lower readings, creating a huge jump in the number of men classified as having low testosterone.

Question the myth of testosterone decline across generations

The widely reported generational decline in testosterone may be an illusion caused by changes in measurement methods over time, not an actual biological trend.

Boost testosterone levels with TMG supplement during exercise

The supplement TMG (betaine) has study evidence showing it can increase testosterone levels, particularly in individuals who are exercising.

Recognize testosterone decline beyond obesity rates

A decline in testosterone was observed even among men with a normal body mass index, suggesting that rising obesity rates do not fully explain the trend.
