If you have excess body fat and people want to make it about sugar is toxic or processed foods, whatever, if you look at the hazard ratios, the odd ratios... it's explained by obesity.

It's this, it's dies, this and that. If you look at, if you look at how much obesity drops testosterone, um, it's, it's easily explained by that. The decline in testosterone over the years. Um, I'm not saying none of these other things may make any difference whatsoever, but obesity is the major driver of it. And, um, you know, I tell people like, let's focus on the big rocks, right?

Right. Well, it's like, it's kind of like, um, I say, you know, if I want to pick up as much in rocks as I can, I'm gonna start with the boulders. Right. And then if I can get some pebbles, great, but I'm not going to drop the boulders to pick up the pebbles.
