Tongkat Ali and Testosterone - My 30 Day Experiment (Episode #91, 6 Apr. 2022)

Nearing 50, I am firmly rooted in middle age.   As we age, our testosterone levels tend to decline causing numerous issues, including muscle loss, obesity, insulin resistance, stress, and premature death.  Restoring levels can reverse those trends. I was listening to Joe Rogan's interview of Andrew Huberman, a badass neuroscientist and PhD at Stanford University.  Huberman and Rogan were discussing ways to naturally increase endogenous testosterone.  Huberman mentioned Tongkat Ali, a Malaysian root otherwise known as Longjack, as a way to increase naturally increase testosterone levels in men and women.  In other words, it is not a testosterone supplement as such, but helps our body's ability to naturally produce it.   So, after listening, I thought I would try a 30 day experiment on myself using this supplement.  In this episode, I share my results using one only metric and also discuss some other peer reviewed studies on Tongkat Ali.   Whoa, this one was a fun one to do!!
