testosterone level study 300x200Reading Time: 2 minutes Recent research conducted by anthropologists at the University of California suggest that lumberjacks are more "manly" than football players. Their conclusion is based on testosterone levels. The researchers were studying a group of "forager-farmers" in central Bolivia in regards to their physical activity. Their study led to results suggesting that physically demanding tasks, such as chopping wood, gardening and manual food production, result in higher testosterone levels in men compared to men playing competitive sports, such as football. To be more scientific, the increase in testosterone for football players was only 30.1% as compared to 48.6% in the men chopping … Read more »

androxal testosterone goals 300x200Reading Time: 2 minutes Repros Therapeutics Inc., (RPRX) maker of Androxal, an experimental drug to boost men's testosterone levels to normal levels, met drug study goals.

testosterone helps gay cubans have more sex 200x300Reading Time: 2 minutes The experimental testosterone drug, Androxal, helped gay Cubans have more sex states the CEO of Repros.

Podolski also revealed that a nurse at one of the Androxal clinical trial sites fabricated baseline sperm counts for patients. When Repros discovered the data fraud, the data was recalculated and the results were closer to what … Read more »

testosterone injection 300x200Reading Time: 4 minutes Testosterone Replacement By Dr. Luigi Santorini Testosterone deficiency or androgen deficiency syndrome is a lot more common in people than the detractors of this vital hormone would have us believe. There are many websites and articles to be found in mainstream and scientific journals that claim Hypogonadism (an example being low testosterone, also called hypotestosteronemia) is a "general exaggeration" concerning marketers promoting the concept of "Is it Low-T?"

Couple enjoying recreation 300x200Reading Time: 2 minutes Dear Annie: I have had all I can take from your female readers who complain about the lack of intimacy from their husbands. You tell them to have their husbands testosterone checked and seek counseling. Allow me to give you a better answer. It's true that men, as they get older and live with their partners for years, might not be as excited about intimacy as in their younger days. That does not mean they are not interested in intimacy. It means they are not interested in their partner. Here are my questions for those female readers: How big is … Read more »

Why Women Make Better Money Managers


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on September 14th, 2023

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! Men's perception of greater power in the workplace, due to higher testosterone levels, is why women outpace them when it comes to investment returns, researchers say. Female money managers consistently outperform their male counterparts, and social scientists say this unbalanced power dynamic is one reason why. 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.

multi colored caduceus 300x169Reading Time: 5 minutes This is a relevant article you must read because aging isn't the only primary source of why testosterone decline occurs in men.

This doesn't mean that a man's testosterone decline isn't linked to aging, because it is, but behavior and lifestyle choices are thought to have a significant impact on a man's testosterone, more than … Read more »

BUSTED: Myths About Testosterone And Its Link To Sexual Desire In Men And Women


Posted by Dr. Michael White, Updated on August 24th, 2023

mh muscular man working out in gym with dumbbellsReading Time: 5 minutes Testosterone is often cast as the manly hormone, the chemical bestower of masculinity, and the reason for men's high sex drives. But new research turns this conventional wisdom on its head. In healthy men, it turns out that testosterone isn't linked to sexual desire at all. And in women, high testosterone is actually associated with less interest in sex with a partner. Complicating the picture further, while high-testosterone women may be less interested in slipping between the sheets with a lover, high testosterone is linked to greater interest in masturbation in healthy women, according to research detailed online in May … Read more »

man 1485335_960_720 300x200Reading Time: 3 minutes Washboard abs and a chiseled jaw are a draw, but a recent study suggests it may be a man’s healthy immune system that really turns women on. That makes sense, since a strong immune system signifies a healthy guy — one who’s likely to survive long enough to pass his rugged genes to the next generation. But the more surprising thing is that women can apparently spot good immunity by looking at a guy’s face. The critical factor may be testosterone, the male hormone that has been associated with a man’s hardy, good looks. According to a study published in … Read more »
