That's basically what I would say.

And the major effect of testosterone in men and women is not libido per se, and it's not aggression per se.

It tends to make people more like them.

If you're a jerk, you can become more of a jerk.

If you're calm, you can become more calm.

If you're kind, you can...

I don't know if you become kinder, but there actually have been studies of altruistic behavior and administration of testosterone by nasal spray or other means.

And frankly, people will become more, they'll become competitively altruistic.

I think the major effect also could be described as it makes effort feel good.

So, we could go on and on about this.

I'll just toss in that nowadays there's a lot of excitement about peptides.

I'm going to do an episode about peptides.

A lot of the young people I run into here and in the States are like, what are your thoughts on BPC-157?

What do you think about this peptide or that peptide?

Peptides are simply small protein compounds.

amino acid chains.

So there are lots of things called peptides, but typically these are things that increase growth hormone.

Keep in mind that anything that increases growth hormone will increase the growth of any and all tissues.

So if you have a small tumor that you're not aware of, that will grow also.

So just keep in mind if you're gonna tickle these pathways, you're playing with some serious biology, but there are safe ways to do it.
