I was been like that since I was in my early twenties. Cause I had, I lived in a house with toxic mold. I had brain damage from toxic mold that was driving a lot of my mental stuff. I had hormone disruption from chemicals, bad food, and toxic mold, which makes synthetic estrogen that makes you fat on 30% less calories. And by the way, for people saying that's bullshit, it's called ziralinone.

You can look it up. It's real. So I had all this stuff going on. I didn't know. So yeah, I went on testosterone and I've been on testosterone since I was 26 years old, except for two years when I was developing the Bulletproof Diet to see what I could do with just diet. And what I found was if I did my best to get good sleep and to eat tons of fat, I could get my levels up to about 700.

Well, higher than 100 or... No, your total testosterone for guys should usually be around 1,000 to feel good. And that's where it would have been 30 years ago. So 700 is not a healthy number for most people. And your free testosterone needs to be above 20 to feel good and to just have your masculine stuff. So I've been on it, except for that time I couldn't get it high enough.

And testosterone has absolutely changed my life. And here's why. Testosterone drives dopamine levels in the brain. So if you're low on testosterone as a man or a woman, you'll be low dopamine. And what happens when you're low dopamine? Dopamine gives you a reward and pleasure for pursuing a goal. You don't get the reward if you get the goal. It's just the pursuit of it.

So if you're an entrepreneur and a business person, you're pursuing a goal and you need to have adequate dopamine to wake up and care about it. And if you've ever seen the movie Grumpy Old Men, that's a testosterone deficiency documentary.

That's what people are like when you're low T. And if you're 26 years old now and you're low testosterone like I was when I was 26, you don't have the vibe you're supposed to have. And there's nothing wrong with you if you're feeling anxiety or tiredness or depression.

You simply have a hardware problem because your balls are not making enough testosterone because they were poisoned by your environment or you're not sleeping and you're eating the wrong stuff. So you can fix it. And a couple of weeks after you do it, Like, wow, this is great. I want to go to the gym. I'm doing stuff in my business again. Now I want to date. And it's like you get yourself back.
