You're maybe wasting, let's say, 10% of your budget to detoxifying alcohol.

But if you're relieving that stress, I suspect this is why –

Yeah.

No, it makes sense.

Yeah.

At most, yes.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, good question.

If you exercise too much and you're a young, healthy male, you can actually decrease testosterone level.

Endurance training can shut down your testosterone production, your reproductive system, basically.

So the kind of trade-offs we talked about with young females also applies to males in those kind of ways.

Where that threshold is, I think, is also highly individualized.

Overtraining syndrome is a very real thing.

Even people who devote a lot of their life and energy to becoming better athletes, there's a limit.

I used to be a competitive cyclist and I raced semi-professionally in my college days.

And I knew that if I worked out, if I, you know, was on the road and I used to do like intense and long distance workouts, if I was like, I logged all of my training, you know, how many hours, kilometers, all of this.

If I did more than like 20, 22 hours a week on the bike, I would get like Achilles tendon.

That was kind of my sweet spot or my sensitive, you know, weak spot.

spot or my knee.
