Testosterone is far more than just a muscle-building hormone. It’s a cornerstone of health influencing mood, cognition, bone density, libido, and even longevity. In this episode, Derek (More Plates More Dates), host of the popular YouTube channel ‘More Plates More Dates' and co-founder of Marek Health, joins me to unpack testosterone’s true role in health, from bone density and insulin sensitivity to brain function and longevity. We cover how lifestyle factors, diet, and micronutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium shape testosterone levels, and which testosterone-boosting supplements actually work versus those that are just hype. We dive deep into testosterone replacement therapy—when it’s warranted, what benefits to expect, the risks (like polycythemia and fertility suppression), and how delivery methods such as injections, creams, and orals formulations differ. We also explore testosterone therapy for women, cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer risk, and how DHT drives hair loss, plus the safety and efficacy of treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. If you want to understand testosterone beyond the headlines, including its functions, its tradeoffs, and the practical ways to optimize it, this conversation is a must-listen. Links in the next post.

Vitamin D supplementation was associated with a 40% lower risk of dementia over a decade. After five years, 84% of supplement users were dementia-free compared to just 68% of non-users in a study of over 12,000 people. Vitamin D reduced dementia risk by 33% in adults with mild cognitive impairment or APOE e4, a key genetic risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Vitamin D isn’t just a vitamin—it's a steroid hormone regulating over 2,000 genes critical for brain development, neuroplasticity, and inflammation control. Its roles include clearing amyloid beta plaques and tau buildup, boosting neuron survival via neurotrophic factors like BDNF, and enhancing brain connectivity, particularly when paired with exercise. It’s no surprise, then, that higher vitamin D levels are associated with better cognition, larger hippocampal volume, and lower Alzheimer’s risk. Multiple lines of evidence support this. More than 30 large studies have consistently linked low vitamin D levels to a 50–150% increased dementia risk. People genetically prone to low vitamin D—those with genetic variations affecting vitamin D production or metabolism—have a 54% higher dementia risk. Furthermore, supplementing with 800 IU/day of vitamin D improves memory and cognitive function in people with mild cognitive impairment and more serious forms of dementia. To learn more about optimizing vitamin D levels for cognitive health, including underlying brain-protective mechanisms and practical supplementation protocols, see the latest FoundMyFitness video.

"Cholesterol Is A Nutrient, Not A Disease." Dr Jocelyn Foran, MD "Cholesterol Is An Essential Building Block & Required By Our 40 Trillion Cells." Even The American Heart Association Was Forced To Admit 'Cholesterol Is No Longer A Nutrient Of Concern' & Removed Their Warning. Buried on page 91 of the 572 page report, 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee: “Previously, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended that cholesterol intake be limited to no more than 300 mg/day." "The 2015 DGAC has halted this advice because available evidence shows no relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol & serum (blood) cholesterol. Cholesterol is no longer a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic: “The idea that we needed to limit saturated fat & cholesterol shifted Americans from a well-balanced diet to high-sugar diets, which made people eat more & get fatter.” The reality, according to Nissen, is that only 15% of circulating cholesterol in the blood comes from what you eat. The other 85% comes from the liver. "It's the right decision to lift the ban on dietary cholesterol consumption. We got the dietary guidelines wrong. They've been wrong for decades."

Prevents dementia & cognitive decline. Protects against all cause mortality. Production of all steroid hormones. Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention. Protective against stroke & heart disease. Important for lungs & airways. Building block of all cells & mitochondria. Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K. Critical for digestion & bile acids. Immune system protection against infections. Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses. Lowers risk of cancer & death. Lowers risk of depression & suicide. Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety. Optimal brain is 60% fat & 25% cholesterol. A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, starchy carbs, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Cardiovascular Biomarkers for optimal health. TG/HDL ratio should be less 1.5 or less. 👇AHA Conflict Of Interest & Saturated Fat Lies👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇High LDL & Cholesterol Extends Life👇 Speaker: Dr Jocelyn Foran, MD Anesthesiologist

"The Most Important Fat In Our Body Is Cholesterol. Cholesterol Is The King Of All Fats." Dr Daniel Pompa There Is No Bad Cholesterol. We've Been Lied To. 3 Reasons Why Cholesterol Is The King Of All Fats. 1: Top Of The Hormone Chain--We need LDL for Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone & all steroid hormones. LDL is a transport lipoprotein molecule required for hormone production & immune function. 2: Vitamins-- Cholesterol is required in order to absorb fat soluble A, D, E & K into our cells. This is the single most crucial element in our immune system to fight against pathogens & bacteria. 3: Brain Health--Your brain cannot work without an abundance of Cholesterol. 100+ neurotransmitters rely on cholesterol for function. Lack of cholesterol will cause cognitive impairment & result in neurodegenerative diseases like Dementia, Parkinson's & Alzheimer's. We need proper levels of cholesterol & an abundance of dietary cholesterol. The most important fat in our body is cholesterol.

High dose vitamin D supplementation might be doing more harm than good. Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher: Vitamin D is a signalling molecule, not a nutrient to megadose. It mobilizes calcium — but doesn't control where calcium goes. High dose vitamin D drives calcium into the arteries, leaching it from bones. A 3-year study comparing 400 IU/day, 4,000 IU/day and 10,000 IU/day found the highest dose group had statistically significantly worse bone mineral density. A 2006 study found that calcitriol supplementation (the active form of vitamin D) in young adults with kidney disease increased artery calcification — because calcitriol is taken up directly by cells in the artery wall. Artery calcification is one of the strongest risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An Indian study compared vitamin D supplementation to 20 minutes of daily sunlight in 100 men with severe deficiency. Remarkably — the supplement group had a larger increase in serum vitamin D than the sunlight group. Yet opposite effects on cholesterol: Sunlight group — cholesterol dropped. Supplement group — cholesterol increased. Why? Sunlight and vitamin D supplements take completely different routes through your body. Vitamin D supplements are fat-soluble. The liver has to synthesize cholesterol and release LDL particles just to transport them through the blood. Sunlight stimulates cholesterol sulfate synthesis directly in the skin. The sulfate component makes the molecule water-soluble — transported freely in the blood without being packaged inside an LDL particle. Because cholesterol sulfate is both water-soluble and fat-soluble, it can transfer from skin cell membranes to HDL particles or red blood cells and deliver cholesterol directly to tissues that need it. No LDL carrier required. When you get vitamin D from a supplement instead of the sun, you don't get the simultaneous increase in cholesterol sulfate. The pill doesn't just fail to replicate sunlight. It uses a completely different biological pathway. Seneff: "Vitamin D wants to be subtle. Get out in the sun." "People answer: oh yeah I know, vitamin D is important." "No. Not vitamin D. The sun.” Vitamin D is a proxy for sunlight exposure. The proxy isn't the mechanism.

The low-fat carnivore trend falsely claims to mimic an ancestral diet. This is wrong. ​Ancestors ate high-fat megafauna (mammoths); hunters today still target fat-rich animals (whales, seals, polar bears). Even Arctic fish are fat-rich. Larger animals, especially Arctic species hunted in the Ice Ages, naturally carry a higher percentage of body fat. Significant inter-abdominal fat is also found in the omentum, mesentery, and around the kidneys. Healthy animals simply have more fat than starving ones. ​Due to decades of processed food propaganda, people now discard nutritious subcutaneous and abdominal fat, consuming only lean muscle. Discarding this fat is not an ancestral practice. ​Avoiding animal fat sacrifices vital nutrients—DHA, EPA, Vitamins D3, K2, A, E, choline, cholesterol, and saturated fat—essential for neurological function and child brain development. ​Weight stalls often stem from a "dirty carnivore" diet (dairy, artificial sweeteners). When issues arise, people wrongly blame high fat, forgetting high-fat carnivore initially drove their health and weight loss. Switching to low-fat risks malnutrition and protein poisoning, which can result in weight loss, but at the expense of health. As health suffers, people blame long-term ketosis on the poor health effects, even though this is against all the best long-term peer-reviewed evidence (See my YouTube video "Is ketosis harmful?"l for more). Remember that your hormones like testosterone and estrogen are made out of cholesterol, and avoiding fat will make all hormones suffer. Eating carbs raises insulin and insulin resistance, which suppresses testosterone in men and estrogen in women. Fat is an essential nutrient, and is good for you. Don't avoid fat just because it's trendy and you don't want to give up dairy or sweets. That is good for you, so eat the damn fat. #carnivore #carnivorediet

"The Real Danger Of Vitamin D3 Deficiency." Gary Brecka "When A Clinical Deficiency In A Very Simple Compound Leads To A Diagnosis That You Didn't Have... Which Led You To Take A Medication You Didn't Need... Resulting In A Surgical Joint Replacement That Wasn't Required." Vitamin D3 Deficiency Causes: Arthritis (All Forms) Joint Pain Inflammation Cancer Obesity Diabetes High Blood Pressure Heart Disease Anxiety Depression Fibromyalgia Chronic Muscle Pain Bone Loss Autoimmune Disease Bronchitis Tuberculosis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Respiratory Infections Slow Wound Healing UTI, Bladder & Kidney Infections The Higher your Vitamin D Level, the more benefits & protections you will experience. Vitamin D Levels (25-hydroxyvitamin D) 70 nmol/L Optimal Protection Aim For Vitamin D3 Level Above 70 nmol/L Vitamin D3 Has Required Cofactors: Magnesium must be present in food or supplement form to activate Vitamin D, even from the sun. Magnesium is the 'key' that unlocks & activates Vitamin D3. For supplemental, Magnesium Glycinate & Threonate are the most bioavailable forms. And for Vitamin D to transport Calcium correctly to the bones & not calcify within arterial walls & soft tissues within the body, the cofactor K2 must also be present in the diet or in supplement form. Animal based diets provide ample natural K2. For supplemental, use K2 in MK4 or MK7 forms. 30 minutes of sunlight can manufacture 30,000 IU of Vitamin D3. After sun exposure, it takes about 2 hours for the skin to make Vitamin D, delay bathing in order for your body to assimilate it. Vitamin D will not produce or assimilate if bathing is immediate after being in the sun. 👇Vitamin D Deficiency & Chronic Disease👇 👇Vitamin D Deficiency & Mortality👇 👇Magnesium Required Cofactor For Vitamin D3👇 Speaker: Gary Brecka
