And I kind of want to dive into some of those lifestyle factors.

Like, what should men...

avoid or try to minimize in terms of their environmental exposure or lifestyle factors that are known to accelerate the decline in testosterone and or

increase the binding protein so there's less free testosterone, right?

Anything that's going to necessarily regulate the ability of testosterone to exert its, you know, its function essentially.

Any amount or like light drinking, moderate drinking?

What does weight loss do to those levels?

Like if you are someone that's obese and then you lose weight, does that bring you back?

Yeah.

I definitely want to dive into some of the diet things in a minute, but I wanted to ask you about a couple of things with respect to maybe factors to avoid.

What effect does excessive endurance training have on testosterone?

Because I thought I came across some literature where it was a negative effect, and I wasn't sure how robust...

I kind of like.

Right.

Yeah.

No, it's definitely not easily.

Like there's not a lot of people that are.

Well, I kind of think of the analogy here for women.

It would be like when women are excessively endurance training and in a severe caloric deficit and they become amenorrhetic.

Right.
