  im guessing he also has some degree of androgen insensitivity. having crazy high testosterone youd expect large muscles, lots of facial hair, male pattern baldness, a low voice, but hes not that big, has at least thin facial hair that he shaves, a full head of hair, and a relatively high voice. idk if any version of androgen insensitivity is associated with very high testosterone levels but i wouldn’t be surprised.

  Dude’s in his 30s but looks and sounds like a guy in his early 20s.

  At that level of androgen, some of the androgen will be transformed into estrogen.

    Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.

  Mostly you’d expect them to be bald

    What does it mean if you have high testosterone and a lot of hair on your head? 😅

    • emmy5482@quokk.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Might not have the hair for too long. Though you might. Depends on the tolerance for testosterone. Just know that high testosterone and baldness are highly correlated

        You could also have a high tolerance for DHT, which is the metabolite of testosterone associated with hair loss.

        In general though I think a lot of people focus very hard on the specific hormones, and typically they’ll do what they say on the tin in standard doses. But there are a lot of edge cases. Higher or lower sensitivities, general proclivities, etc.

        Before transitioning most people would’ve suspected I had very high T. I had a deep voice at a young age, built muscle fast, full beard as a teenager, the whole shebang minus baldness (but I transitioned young so that could just be time). But nope, my levels were average. I also responded fairly strongly to estrogen.

        What’s far more important than your numbers is if you’re getting healthy and acceptable effects from your hormone levels. There’s no need to mess with your levels unless there’s need to mess with your levels.

        Iirc, keeping or losing your hair as a guy has to do with DHT receptors in your hair follicles. T doesn’t make your hair fall out, but DHT does, and your body produces more DHT as you get older (hence why finastride works as a hair loss inhibitor - it blocks DHT from the receptors in your hair). But only the hair on the top of your head is sensitive to this, with sensitivity higher in some places than others. Hence, some guys bald on the crown first, while some have a receding hairline first, and some never bald at all.

  That’s not how testosterone works. It’s not fuel, it’s just a signal. Everyone’s neutral point is calibrated differently depending on developmental events mainly in the womb. It’s not about how much absolute testosterone you have in a snapshot, it’s about how much higher or lower you are than your own personal baseline.

    He has a very uncommon medical condition that he shared with his viewer base a while ago, largely because it had a serious impact on how often he was putting out videos for a while until he got it diagnosed
