Yeah.
All right.
Again, one of those things like Salmon's Firm, I didn't specifically request.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Offered and just can't turn down.
And he's advocating for all these guys to just take testosterone at a young age.
Well, he didn't have, like, some kind of, like, clinically diagnosed thing.
No, he just wanted to look better.
Like, severe head injury that couldn't allow him to make testosterone.
Nope.
And I mean, you know, the, the biggest reason why is it's like one of the greatest things we can do as a human being is to make little human beings.
And if you're starting with testosterone at that age, I mean, the earlier you start, the more you're going to impact fertility.
And there are things that guys who want to increase testosterone will take at the same time to maintain fertility, like gonadotrelin or ACG or in clomiphene.
And that allows them to both take less testosterone.
and maintain a little bit of a sperm count.
The latex cells and the testes can still operate a little bit.
But if you're that young, I mean, no matter what you're taking at the same time, you significantly impact both fertility and your own production.
I know a lot of guys.
yeah there's a feedback loop and the way the way i think about it is so um i would hope you wouldn't be thinking about this when you're 14 because you should be a little testosterone producing factory when you're 14 unless there's something significantly wrong um but if you were thinking about getting on testosterone because whatever you're
kind of borderline low but not clinically diagnosed by a doctor to be able to get a prescription for it or you want to recover a little faster put a little bit extra muscle um first of all there's a lot of precursors for you to make your own testosterone building blocks and those are super simple to find boron creatine zinc omega-3 fatty acids uh magnesium vitamin d those would be like the biggies and that's just like basic micronutrient and vitamin intake
