      Is that the YouTuber that couldn’t grow a beard even though he was in his thirties so he had this hormone levels checked and his testosterone was through the roof?

        Jep. Pretty sure that’s the one. Don’t think he ever got into what his specific ailment was though. And he hasn’t been all that active lately as far as I remember.

          I think in one of the lastest videos he had said he was running around various doctors and would have to keep searching, maybe we’ll get an update by the end of the year😅

          PS. So cool that Styropyro was my thought too, lol

            When I was at OpenSauce last summer, someone asked him about it. I kinda forgot the answer but iirc he said he found a doctor that was helpful and it wasn’t causing him any medical issues

        That’s because he needs to look at free testosterone, not total testosterone. Bound testosterone cannot be readily used by the body and is not an accurate reflection of one’s sexual health.

        So yeah, his T serum can be above 1,000 ng/dL and he could be a babyface.

        Most notorious reason for low free testosterone is lack of sleep, which can also be indicated by high reverse t3.
