So up guys, Derek, moreplacemerdates.com.

Today I'm going to explain quickly why being fat lowers your testosterone levels.

So you always hear people say you want to increase your testosterone, just get lean, but they don't explain why.

I'm just going to explain why because maybe it might, you know, for somebody who needs the motivation to lose weight,

this might and maybe would otherwise go on

TRT and they may not even need TRT to begin with because they're just too fat, listen up,

because this is a scientific explanation of why getting lean will help you produce more testosterone.

So aromatase, it is found in fat.

So the more fat you have, the more aromatase you have which is the enzyme that

converts testosterone to estrogen the way your body determined how much testosterone to produce it works

via negative feedback so i'm sure you've heard of the HPTA negative feedback the feedback loop the

blah blah but no one really

explains how this feedback loop really works they kind of just think oh you produce testosterone

and then there's some sort of function that like tells your brain we don't need more tests so we turn

it off but what they don't understand is that it's the estrogen that provides the negative

feedback so how your body tells your body

to stop producing test is determined by your estrogen essentially so if you have more fat on your

body you have more estrogen conversion so if you produce a certain amount of test and you're

fatter you're going to produce more estrogen than you would normally

if you were leaner. So the ratio of estrogen to testosterone becomes more disproportionately favored

towards estrogen, the more fat you are. The problem with that isn't inherently in the estrogen

value itself. It's more that your body has that negative
