* There T level at that point when they are healthy is a very important number. Most of the time it is going to be 500 or so, right? There are some published T levels per decade of life and it does go down. It's pretty rare to get above 1000 naturally considering that as a kind of max upper limit of normal is a very reasonable thing from my perspective.
29:05 Testosterone: the ~500 target, why 1,000 runs hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart
31:44 Check your testosterone at 25 and why steroids won't make you a pro
36:57 Tolerance and the new set point redlined men can't escape
=========
Your testosterone number matters at every age, but most men never learn what theirs should be. Mayo Clinic urologist Dr. Tobias Kohler explains why ~500 is the target, why 1,000 is already running hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart, and why a randomized trial found lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting. Plus: the blood test that catches heart risk your cholesterol panel misses.
Dr. Kohler returns for his second appearance (his first, on erections, testosterone and muscle mass, is one of the most-watched episodes in the show's history). This time: why men's longevity is roughly 50 years behind women's; the Princeton IV consensus he co-chaired, which treats ED as one of the strongest predictors of a future heart attack and points young men toward a coronary calcium scan; the 0–12 ceramide blood test that changes with your behavior; how to get a testosterone baseline that actually means something; what redlining to 2,000–3,000 does to the heart, the set point and the skin; Peyronie's disease, Viagra vs. Cialis, the pills-to-implant ladder, sexual rehab after prostate surgery, and a patient who got stronger with zero testosterone.
