| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:19.4 | You know, I've done a lot of videos in testosterone and I've emphasized a lot of things that |
| 0:27.0 | can lower your testosterone. But in some recent research that I've been diving into, sleep is a huge |
| 0:35.1 | under-emphasized factor in your testosterone levels. I want to talk about that today. Now, before I |
| 0:42.0 | get into the subject of sleep, I want to just touch on some of the other things that can dramatically |
| 0:47.7 | lower your testosterone as well because you need to know all of them because what may affect one |
| 0:53.1 | person may not affect everyone. So the first thing you need to know is that as you age, |
| 0:59.0 | testosterone does go down. However, it's not the major reason why someone has low testosterone. |
| 1:06.4 | So let's first talk about obesity. If you are overweight, that can affect your testosterone. Why? |
| 1:13.1 | Because your fat cells make this enzyme called aromatase. And aromatase turns your testosterone |
| 1:21.9 | into estrogen. So the more fat you have on your body, the more estrogen you're going to have. |
| 1:27.4 | And there's this relationship between testosterone and estrogen in that when one goes up like estrogen, |
| 1:34.1 | the other one goes down. So the more fat you have in your body, the more estrogen you're going to have. |
| 1:40.5 | Now, there's a couple other things that will increase your estrogen too, consuming a lot of soy |
| 1:45.2 | products. Okay, that's one thing. Also, plastics. I've done a video on this and an average person |
| 1:52.3 | consumes about a credit card amount of plastic every single week. That's a lot of plastic to be |
| 1:58.1 | put in our body. So, you know, we get plastic from drinking out of plastic bottles, cooking in |
| 2:03.6 | plastic. Plastic is this all over the place. And that can increase our estrogen as well. |
| 2:08.7 | Now, the other big killer of testosterone is having high insulin levels. Now, you might think |
| 2:14.2 | that you have to be a diabetic to have insulin levels, but that's not true. You could be a |
| 2:19.3 | pre-diabetic or you can have insulin resistance, which I think the majority of the population has. |
