Hulk HioganReading Time: 3 minutes Professional athlete steroid abuse can be a deadly game of one-upmanship: "my muscles are bigger, stronger, and leaner than your muscles?" Diehard professional wrestling fans recall back to the 1980s when the loud and glittering success of ludicrously shredded athletes like Hulk Hogan, Road Warriors, and other flamboyant acts convinced everyone, especially the producers and promoters that ripped physiques and over swollen pumped muscles were the hallmark to fame, fortune, and brand recognition.

testosterone on wall street 300x200Reading Time: 2 minutes John Coates, neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, said the 2008 global financial crisis was caused by a glut of testosterone on Wall Street.

Coates meant that the aggressive investment tendency of Wall Street executives, most of whom are men, was the cause of the crisis. Entrepreneurship requiring the taking of a risk on something that looks impossible needs testosterone, however. Male Behavior is Affected by Higher Testosterone Levels Compared to … Read more »

women make better money managers 199x300Reading Time: 4 minutes Female money managers consistently outperform their male counterparts, according to a recent study. Blame it on testosterone!

But, they add that eventually, as the power balance evens out in the workplace, women may lose some of that edge. Men's higher testosterone levels lead them to trade more and take riskier positions.

Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on September 1st, 2023

my way or the highway testosterone 300x200Reading Time: 3 minutes Testosterone can skew one's judgment, creating the impression that decisions are best taken alone even in situations that call for collaboration, according to a study released Wednesday.

Finding the right balance between working together and going solo, and knowing when to do one or the other, is an essential life skill.

Both under this Government and its Labour predecessors, ministers (yes, usually men) seem to think that banging on … Read more »

doping 271622_640 300x180Reading Time: 2 minutes A sharp uptake of testosterone products by Australian men has been blamed on ‘disease mongering' by pharmaceutical companies.
