Menopause can result in a decline in hormone levels, including testosterone, which is essential for various aspects of a woman's health. Here are some natural ways a menopausal woman can increase her testosterone levels: #menopause #testosterone
Exercise & physical activity: Regular exercise, particularly strength training & high-intensity interval training (HIIT), have shown to raise testosterone levels. Incorporate a mix of cardio & resistance training exercises into your routine to help maintain healthy hormone levels
A nutrient-rich diet is essential for hormonal balance: Include both lean & fatty meat, eggs & fish, fats (like those found in avocados, ghee, lard, tallow & olive oil). Specific foods, such as cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, & cabbage), support hormone production.
Interestingly, the findings of this one suggest that comorbidity burden could be the driving factor behind age-related decreases in total testosterone levels in men. 
- The current study utilized data from the 2004-2017 Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging to investigate the association between additive comorbidities and serum testosterone levels over time in men with a mean age of ~69.8 years.
- After controlling for various comorbidities, no association between age and testosterone was observed.
Do night shift duties pose any risks on health?
1. Large number of people are employed in jobs that require working at nights and sleeping in daytime.
Is it healthy? Are there any health hazards associated with this routine?
Let's look at some of the research on this topic.

2. Type 2 #diabetes :
Night shift work, especially rotating shift work including night shifts, is associated with higher type 2 diabetes odds.

In this one, exogenous testosterone administration was found to alter the metabolome in such a way that lipid substrates were preferentially utilized over amino acids, something that was in turn associated with attenuated muscle proteolysis during a severe energy deficit.
- Testosterone administration altered androgenic steroid, acylcarnitine, and amino acid metabolites during severe energy deficit compared to the placebo group.
- During the recovery period, when testosterone was not administered and the severe energy deficit had ended, many of these changes reversed.

Let's start with #hormones. Hormones are chemicals released by certain organs that carry messages to other organs. Everyone has hormones. Changes in hormone levels can affect our moods but having hormones does not make someone moody.
The reproductive (and other) organs produce the sex hormones (#progesterone, #estrogen, and #testosterone) in all people, just in different quantities. These levels can vary throughout the day and over time.

Today, weāre taking a look at the effects of artificial testosterone on the female body. #Testosterone is prescribed to healthy female children at gender clinics across the US. Its side effects include #depression, type 2 diabetes, blood clots, and high cholesterol. (1/8)
A recent scientific study found that artificial testosterone also increases femalesā risk of heart attack. Src: archive.is/xArCg #healthcare (2/8)
Artificial testosterone and artificial estrogen both increase the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) when used for ā#transition.ā That means higher risks for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. Src: archive.is/CTq8q #health (3/8)

The first step is the āaffirmative modelā of #therapy. When a child claims to be or wants to be the opposite sex, well-meaning parents may seek answers from a therapist. An āaffirmativeā therapist automatically labels the child "trans." (2/13)
Itās important to note that āaffirmativeā therapists donāt examine childrenās #mentalhealth or question their ideas before making a decision. Instead, they ārubber-stampā childrenās psych evals. Src: (3/13)

There's a whole field of research exploring the ratio between index and ring finger (known as 2D:4D digit ratio).

I'm not intending to disparage anybody personally. Perhaps some of this research is legit, but many issues w/ 2D:4D.

Supposedly #digitratio indicates prenatal testosterone exposure.
Fetuses exposed to more male sex hormones in utero are supposed to have a smaller digit ratio (shorter index finger or longer ring finger).
But, there's very little evidence of this in humans.

1) For some kids, it was nearly 5ļøā£0ļøā£0ļøā£ days since their last track meet.
2) Sprinting is the most EXTREME exercise in the human experience.
3) Running is not sprinting.
4) Many of our best male athletes spent the LONG off-season as body-builders.

How to boost Testosterone the natural way.. Muscle, lean bodies, lesser fat % belly fat, bone density, red blood cells, sexual health, reproductive health, libido, hormonal balance, post age 25 - 30 starts to decline, hereās what you can do..
Exercise - lift weights, lift body weight, safe HIIT, rest and recovery, deep sleep, lower body workout, compound moves, plyometrics, circadian fasting, quality carbs, proteins and fats.
Fad diets and starving lower the big T, overacting lowers the big T, healthy vitamin D levels and calcium, Zinc and B vitamin rich foods, sunlight, limit artificial and blue light after sunset, laughter and happiness, fasted workouts if it suits you.

Writing guidelines is hard, since evidence often lacking for key items. AUA recommendations re T thresholds is excellent example. No data exist re who responds to TTh based on total T levels. So recommended threshold of <300 is ARBITRARY, not evidence-based. 1/
While I congratulate AUA for establishing #testosterone guidelines, 1st rule should be to avoid making AUA members who practice good medicine WRONG. Experienced clinicians know there are MANY men with total T >300 who benefit from TTh, esp if have low free T. 2/
Since guidelines are not laws, there is ample room for clinicians to deviate from guidelines in their own practices, and data reveals poor adherence to most medical guidelines. A big issue, tho, is that insurance often will not provide coverage based on restrictive guidelines. 3/
