Previous studies have shown that high testosterone levels in men decreased stress reactivity. At the same time some studies showed higher testosterone levels increased stress response. In this study they set out to apply stress in two conditions. One with the subject alone in a room and one with an observer. The results were very interesting. PLUS Listener Christopher Price asked ” what is the safest amount of D3 one can take orally, daily? Can D3 be taken intravenously, and if so, since you bypass the digestive track, does that lessen the chances of harming the kidneys?”

SHR # 2525 :: The Effects of Testosterone on the Physiological Response to Social and Somatic Stressors PLUS Listener Question About Vitamin D

Show Transcript SHR # 2525 :: The Effects of Testosterone on the Physiological Response to Social and Somatic Stressors PLUS Listener Question About Vitamin D

Show Notes:

[5:00] The studies on the effects of testosterone on stress are conflicting.

[15:07] A study observing stress levels in men taking testosterone.

• When the subjects were by themselves, all stress markers were elevated.
• When they were observed, blood pressure acutely dropped.

[22:54] The social aspect of testosterone.

[26:10] The success of using test to aid in drug rehab.

[35:56] red light therapy for increased test?

• Test production is a multi-step process.
• If the gonads are the limiting factor, RLT could help.

[42:00] Correlation between thyroid hormone and test?

• With a high TSH, you could seek out the use of HCG.
• Other possibilities include 500-750 mg tyrosine without added B6.
• Iodine supplement with all
• 1-2 Brazillian nuts per day for the selenium.
• This will boos the seleno-enzyme cascade.
• Take a tincture of iodine and paint a 1 inch patch on your skin until it takes a couple of days for the skin to absorb the tincture..

[1:12:15] Proper vitamin D dosing.

• Vitamin D can be harmful if levels are too high and your intake does not decrease.
• Melanin inhibits vitamin D absorption.
• Getting vitamin D exclusively through the skin ensure that your system can safely manage vitamin D levels.
• K2 is more necessary when one is not keeping track of their vitamin D levels.
• Vitamin D supplementation is effective as long as 25-OH lees are increasing and parathyroid hormone is decreasing. Whenever these conditions stop occurring, stop supplementing with vitamin D.
