The bodybuilders will get upset, but I'll get away from you because you'll be waddling and I'll be running.

That's just like a whole other business.

So testosterone replacement therapy is...

widely used nowadays.

I think far too young.

Basically, it will lower your sperm count dramatically if you're a male.

So if you want children, you want to conceive children, you will need to offset that by taking something like human chorionic gonadotropin HCG, which is available synthetically.

They used to sell it in the form of pregnant women's urine.

There was a black market for it.

We could really go off into the sticks with this question.

In my opinion, if you want to explore this, I would say first get your behaviors right.

Sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress control, training.

Get that right.

Don't train too hard or too long.

Get that right.

Then there are certain supplements, and we've talked about this on the podcast.

Some are debated a little bit more than others.

things like zinc, tongali, et cetera, that can probably provide a boost beyond normal without shutting down the gonads.

And then, and only then, if you feel you really want to do this and it's in line with your ethics or, you know, I don't know if you're playing a drug-tested sport, et cetera, then just minimal effective dose.

And then if you want to have kids someday or if you don't know if you want to have kids someday, make sure you're taking the appropriate things to offset that.
