#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

So you're saying testosterone is great.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Why shouldn't we give it to people?

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Make the argument for why that should happen.

Yeah.

I imagine that the doses that you're giving, it's, I think, been shown pretty clearly that if men are within the typical range, even at the low end, you don't see changes in sexual or aggressive behavior within the normal range.

You see differences in physical parameters as well.

Can you do the CAG repeat?

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Yeah, I don't know if there's a commercial test.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

You should get it if there is.

The Peter Attia Drive

Does everybody know what the category is?

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

No, they don't.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Can I ask you a question about that?

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Because you know a lot more about this, I think, than I do.

Do you eliminate all the other things?

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Like how can you eliminate all the other things that could be causing him that are going on in his world or in his body?

The Peter Attia Drive

But if you change that one variable, is that overriding the potentially negative effects of inflammation or depressing situation in his social life or whatever it is?
