Yo, anyone had their T levels checked out?
I got a few courses I want to take (even though I have my BS already) and get more skilled in my craft.
@machtyn That's what I'm doing right now, focusing on school and getting into my career
brb
@hel I am conducting a water fast and after I eat for 2 weeks on the keto regiment I'm getting mine checked (next month or so).
@KenneticEnergy Yeah boy!
@hel T levels go down naturally as we age, but I dont think its a concern unless you start having abnormal symptoms.. def something to talk to your doc about
IF+Keto is the boss of cutting
Mine is around 350ng/dL
The doctor said it's fine, but I'unno
@hel Yes! Except, I am going on prolonged fast. The longest I went was 4 days so I know I got this.
Buddha mode
You want 800 ng/dl
300-1100 ng/dl is the range I believe
I wonder if NoFap has anything to do with it
Technically 350 is "normal" but it's low.
I mean, I'm not an expert on T levels but I'd trust the doc if he says you're okay
Naw, sleep/cortisol/caffeine/food/lifting
@KenneticEnergy Are activist doctors a thing?
@KenneticEnergy Don't trust doctors 😄 "High carb low fat is healthy!" No, thanks.
Like activist judges or something.
I graduated high school in '89 and worked in the trades
@The Tradesman Oh definitely, but physiologically no one man is going to have the same T levels
@KenneticEnergy Or... most doctors, at least.
so I did not have much exposure to the office enviornment
@machtyn Actually you do need glucose and carbs to live mate lol
Just don't go crazy and eat like mcdonalds 24-7, moderation is the key
anyway I have to run off for a bit. BBL.
@KenneticEnergy Yes, you do. Your body converts it from fat to run the brain.
You don't need to EAT carbs/sugars.
It also depends on how active you are too, nutrition is highly personable tbh
Yes!
Agreed. I personally eat a little brown rice when I go sparring.
I wanna rewatch Fight Club one of these days
@machtyn Yes you do, to allow the basic metabolic functions of your body to take place. You need carbs and glucose. This is fact
When I lift without brown rice, I am flat in performance but I get a better physical response.
@KenneticEnergy No, you do not.
