Let's talk about how to raise your mood. This is primarily for men, but there's a great

study I put the link down below called efficiency of fasting and calorie restriction on mood

and depression among aging men. So there was 32 men in the study, an average age of 59, and they

did this for three months. They did a combination of low calorie and also fasting, and the results were

remarkable. There was significant improvement in less tension, less anger, less confusion. That's

wild. Increase bigger and increase daytime concentration, not to mention of the benefits like weight

loss. So there's this condition called pets, partial endocrine deficiency syndrome. It's really just

a syndrome that occurs in men as they age where the endocrine system kind of falls apart and the

hormones get lower and lower and lower. Primarily, we have two hormones involved. We have testosterone

and cortisol. So we have this spike in cortisol, the stress hormone, with a drop in testosterone.

And by the way, when you increase cortisol, you do drop testosterone. So when you have this

situation right here, which starts to happen at age 50, and it gets worse with time, a lot of

times men will do testosterone replacement therapy. And what they might not realize is that

even though it might help them in the short term, it will basically stop the production

of this hormone in the pituitary called luteinizing hormone. And then that will cause

atrophy of the gonads. Because when you're taking hormone, your body's own production doesn't

have to work. And you basically shut down your own production of testosterone. So it comes with

a package. And I don't think it's the best solution. There are other things that you can do

that are very, very powerful. Number one, fasting. If you're new to this channel,

and you haven't tried fasting, and you're a man over the age of 50, and you have any of the

symptoms with lower testosterone or high cortisol, whether it's mood changes, cognitive changes,

loss of muscle mass, lack of sex drive, ED, other issues, then fasting can greatly help you.
