Sweet, Kristoff Reisfelder says, Hi, in the last video, you said that the longer the refractory period, the less healthy you are as a man, what can you do to remedy this issue?

Well, usually it's due to elevated prolactin, I mean, and really depends on, so again, if there is no organic pathology such as something wrong with a pituitary gland over-producing prolactin, then the second best reason actually, and or kidneys, sometimes you can have elevated prolactin, so first clinical reason could be most common is issue with a pituitary gland. Second to most common are issue with the liver function or issue with kidney function. Both of these are associated with subclinical hyper-prolactinemia. And if all of these are ruled out, and of course they are related with the fore called, which I'm going to mention, then of course, thyroid dysfunction would be what I would consider because it's been shown that even a minute drop in T3 in the blood immediately leads to elevation of prolactin. And in fact, before the dopamine agonist were invented, hyper-prolactinemia and gynecomastia were actually treatable with T3 therapy. So again, the pain in high hyper-lactin is, you know, I would measure it. If it's below 50, it's most likely functional, which means thyroid related, metabolism related, chronic stress related. Many people don't know, but pro-lactin is actually in medical textbooks, it's listed as both an acute and chronic stress biomarker. It's much reliable than cortisol for that because cortisol really has very, you know, it can jump up and down very quickly. But pro-lactin is much more reliable. So if it's below 50, it's usually due to a combination of stress and or low thyroid function. And of course, whenever you have these, you can still have the liver slash kidney dysfunction as a result of that. So I wouldn't necessarily exclude thyroid just because your liver enzymes are elevated or, you know, your creatinine is elevated. It could still be de-automately to low metabolism. So, you know, vitamin E, aspirin, progesterone, all of these things help systemically. Vitamin D also helps specifically for pro-lactin. And, you know, calcium, if you're not ingesting enough, then vitamin D would not be very helpful. So that it's important to have at least, in my experience, at least one gram of calcium they raise as at least two. So maybe you can meet somewhere in between. It should be good enough. I think he said 1500 one time to somebody. 1500, okay, all right, so he has lower, his lower bone.
