Is that the YouTuber that couldn't grow a beard even though he was in his thirties so he had this hormone levels checked and his testosterone was through the roof?
Jesus Christ he's in his 30s?
Well, I can't answer that, now can I? There was a YouTube like I described but I don't remember his name.
Someone else linked the video below.
Jep. Pretty sure that’s the one. Don’t think he ever got into what his specific ailment was though. And he hasn’t been all that active lately as far as I remember.
I think in one of the lastest videos he had said he was running around various doctors and would have to keep searching, maybe we'll get an update by the end of the year😅
PS. So cool that Styropyro was my thought too, lol
When I was at OpenSauce last summer, someone asked him about it. I kinda forgot the answer but iirc he said he found a doctor that was helpful and it wasn't causing him any medical issues
He just put out a "I bought a ton of car battery" video the other week.
Oh cool. I haven’t seen that.
That's because he needs to look at free testosterone, not total testosterone. Bound testosterone cannot be readily used by the body and is not an accurate reflection of one's sexual health.
So yeah, his T serum can be above 1,000 ng/dL and he could be a babyface.
Most notorious reason for low free testosterone is lack of sleep, which can also be indicated by high reverse t3.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
It's in the video, somebody linked it. He has testosterone over 1,500 and super high SHBG. He's 31 and has never really grown a beard so it's probably always been high. If it's cancer then it's a very slow one. Probably just a genetic variation that produces high SHBG and the body produces more testosterone to compensate. Hard to predict what kind of problems it might give him down the road since it's probably rare.
