Hypogonadism...
-much more common in overweight or obese men
-tendency for lower:
~testosterone
~sperm count
~sperm motility

Study by Loma Linda University...
-shift men from omnivore to vegetarian diet:
~sperm production drops &
~depression goes up

Hypogonadism...
-is real
-accompanies obesity in men
-includes lower sperm production
So, erectile dysfunction & compromised

Insulin IQ coach: "Do I have low-T; is first question from
obese male clients"
-have never been tested
-buying into what they have heard on TV & radio

Question to Ben: "Once they are more healthy & feeling better,
could it be partly due to rise in testosterone?"

It is possible, but testosterone is often over-hyped...
If client did, however, have suboptimal testosterone, then:
-absolutely, getting testosterone back to normal
would make him feel better, but...
-probably client feels better because:
~insulin sensitivity is higher
~lost excess weight

We are not health care providers, but...
-unless clinically proven that testosterone is low
-don't believe taking testosterone supplements is needed
-just a way to make muscles grow &
-prostate grow too!
