| 0:00.0 | We'll buckle up. We're going to dive right into the 13 reasons why I believe and why science says that your |
| 0:22.5 | testosterone is failing and ultimately we're going to give you a path back to optimizing your testosterone. |
| 0:28.4 | Gentlemen, the irony of testosterone right now is that so many guys want a quick fix. Tell me I'm |
| 0:35.3 | wrong. Wouldn't it be nice to inject testosterone once or twice a week, |
| 0:39.8 | or maybe it's five times a week, or maybe you take a little topical testosterone, |
| 0:43.2 | or maybe take an oral testosterone, and all of your problems go away. All of a sudden, |
| 0:47.3 | your sex drive comes back and your body composition gets better. We live in a culture of quick |
| 0:52.5 | fixes, and the irony of testosterone is the very reason why |
| 0:56.8 | you are craving a quick fix is the reason you need testosterone. The fact that we're looking for |
| 1:03.2 | quick fixes is the exact reason why men's testosterone is failing. To hear me out, testosterone isosterone is a molecule of competition, of overcoming, pursuing, |

| 1:28.3 | Certainly after your teenage years and maybe for some people after your early 20s, competition |
| 1:33.6 | falls away. You don't have to compete for a mate. You don't have to compete for food. You don't |
| 1:38.5 | have to compete in most instances. Certainly physically there's no competition, is there? |
| 1:42.7 | I think this is why so many men and women maybe are drawn to things like |
| 1:47.3 | jiu-jitsu and martial arts is because that is all that's left in our society as far as |
| 1:54.1 | opportunities to compete. |
| 1:56.0 | And so if Robert Sapolsky tells us that testosterone is about competition, and yet our society is leaning |
| 2:03.5 | us in the direction of, well, I don't have to compete anymore because everything's at my |
| 2:08.2 | fingertips. If I want a mate, I swipe left. If I want food, I get on a new breeds. I don't have |
| 2:17.1 | to pursue anything. And so that we wonder why |
