So exercise, acupuncture, massage, or yoga. I mean, for men, I say physical activity is the best thing for sex. So as an aside, during COVID, I had two groups of men. They said, what do I do? My life's a mess. You know, everyone's life's a mess. So half of them had drinks at five o'clock, started drinking a lot. And the other half went out for runs or got a Peloton, which most of the country did.

That's a great story, the Peloton story. And then about six months later, these guys realized it's not working. And they started shifting over to exercise. So I was very proud of them. These guys I was really happy with, like nice, because that's the best way to handle stress is when you have no control over things. go for a run, go for a walk, get out there. So good for you.

It's decompressing, get your mind off something, anything, surfing, whatever. They don't do that. So I said, well, let's do this. I think what's happening is this. I think it's just stress. Maybe try traveling less or whatever. And then I'll give them Clomid. I'll say, let's try this for three to six months and let's see how you feel. Sometimes it's sexual health issues.

Erections aren't typically that dependent on testosterone. Typically, it's other things. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you were higher before and we don't know that, but let's do something pretty safe and easy and I'll double your testosterone or triple it. Let's see how you do. And then I'll check in with them at three and six months. How are you feeling? I feel great.

Or, hey, it's not working. I feel the same. It's like, well, it's not testosterone related. Whatever the symptom is you're having, you wouldn't have it with a testosterone. We know levels of testosterone above which you should not have symptoms. We know libido, we know erections, we know fertility, things like that.

I don't know. Erections, I would say the best study is about 290. Yeah.

You're convincing them. And then what about libido? Libido, I'd say 350 is sort of a range. It's pretty sensitive and it's harder to call. Libido is driven by so many different things. Fertility, I'd say 300 is a good one.

I think there's myths around testosterone and those are some of them, but it's sort of a Morgan Taylor and equilibrium story where if you're low- You have symptoms and you're low. Those symptoms will get better when you go up. But then there's a point where it flattens out. There's no increase or improvement in symptoms. Sexual health symptoms are classically ascribed to that.

There also is a linear relationship between testosterone, and that would be blood and muscle. So more is better for making blood, doping, and also blood doping, and also for muscle. Absolutely linear.

Effect of testosterone muscle mass is indirect. It's not that you're going to do it and create mass. You don't just create mass. what it allows you to do is recover from injury. So if you push the system and you need two days to recover, you can go to one day, you can push it again harder. So that's what testosterone does in the primitive world.
