Quick takeaways

Testosterone levels may reflect current health status rather than predict optimal health.

Sexual function cannot be solely attributed to testosterone levels; other factors play a significant role.

Baseline testosterone levels do not predict changes in body composition over time; focus on overall health and lifestyle factors.

Optimal Testosterone Levels for Health and Performance

The podcast episode explores the concept of optimal testosterone levels for health and performance in men and women. It discusses the increase in testosterone prescribing and the use of supplements to achieve optimal levels. The episode questions whether there is a specific testosterone level that reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease or diabetes, or if these diseases actually cause reduced testosterone levels. It also examines the relationship between testosterone levels and muscle mass, as well as the impact of body composition on testosterone. Overall, the episode emphasizes that testosterone levels may be reflective of current health status rather than predictive of optimal health.
