Season 1 Episode 186
The way we measure aging is changing, and it’s changing fast. We dig into a major multi-ethnic study that connects men’s total testosterone with the speed of biological aging, then translate the findings into clear steps you can use to protect your health span. Instead of counting candles, we focus on the KDM biological age method, which blends eight clinical markers to capture how your body is really doing—metabolism, inflammation, cardiovascular stress, and more.
We break down what biological age acceleration means and why lowering it matters for disability risk, disease burden, and longevity. The evidence is striking: across US, China, and UK cohorts, higher testosterone correlates with slower biological aging. The longitudinal data goes further—when men’s testosterone rises relative to their baseline, their biological age acceleration falls. We also discuss the stark ADT findings in prostate cancer patients, where an abrupt drop in testosterone is followed by a measurable, rapid increase in biological age acceleration, underscoring testosterone’s protective role. For older men and those with diabetes, the benefits appear even stronger, linking hormone health to metabolic resilience.
From here, we map the practical path. You’ll learn why screening matters, which labs to consider, and how supervised restoration fits alongside lifestyle levers like strength training, sleep, protein intake, and stress control. We talk safety, monitoring, and how to aim for physiological ranges while tracking hematocrit, estradiol, PSA, lipids, liver enzymes, and cardiovascular markers. If you want more active, vibrant years, not just more years, this is your playbook for making informed choices grounded in real data.
