The conversation also covers the risks and side effects of testosterone supplementation and the role of competition and status in testosterone production.

Key Takeaways:

Testosterone is a hormone that directly impacts gene expression and influences sex-related behavior.
Nutrition is the number one cause of low testosterone, so it's important to focus on a balanced diet with adequate micronutrients and macronutrients.
Sunlight exposure can potentially increase testosterone levels, but more research is needed to fully understand the relationship.
Training, especially heavy lifting and challenging physical activities, is crucial for optimizing testosterone levels.
Stress is necessary for testosterone production, but excessive stress can have negative effects on hormone balance.
Avoiding endocrine disruptors, such as EMFs and certain plastics, is important for maintaining optimal testosterone levels.
Having a healthy sex life, with a balance between effort and pleasure, is beneficial for testosterone production.
Testicle temperature should be regulated to avoid overheating or excessive cooling, which can affect testosterone levels
