00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339
 All right, so basically today I'm going to be talking about man as a biological male.

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:10.679
 And so I'm going to be going over a lot of, really, biology.

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:15.019
 I'm going to be talking about a lot of things that maybe some of these terms you guys have heard.

00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:20.080
 I'm going to try to do the best I can to expand your guys' vocabulary,

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:23.359
 but also show how much it really does pertain to our lives.

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.199
 I think there's some things in every day and age that men live in,

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.739
 in every day and age that men who are following the Lord in.

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:35.219
 So it becomes different things that are very, very pertinent to those day and ages,

00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:37.179
 men rising to the occasion.

00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.560
 And I'm going to talk about some things that has become my perspective

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.460
 that I actually think some Christian men should rise to the occasion in.

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:45.939
 They're a little bit being neglected.

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:51.000
 I think there's very powerful forces at work that are very confusing to us,

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.519
 and we don't exactly know what's going on.

00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:57.480
 And I want to open up the hood and describe some things that I think some of you guys,

00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.099
 hopefully all of you guys, are very intrigued by and also have some conviction behind

00:01:02.099 --> 00:01:05.959
 and realizing, oh, this is actually what is going on.

00:01:06.039 --> 00:01:07.579
 We live in a very confusing day and age.

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.140
 I think one of the things that's confusing about the information age

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:15.259
 is that it didn't really increase our ability to grasp truth.

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:20.179
 It really just gave us more opportunity to validate our own perspectives.

00:01:20.179 --> 00:01:23.699
 And so I think one of the things that's been a hallmark of the information age

00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:28.520
 is that we have more opportunity to create life, to create God,

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:31.560
 to create our beliefs in our own image.

00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:35.620
 And I want to try to put some meat on the bone of some things

00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:40.560
 that you need to believe because it's reality.

00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:41.379
 Okay?

00:01:41.379 --> 00:01:47.259
 So my goal with this is, number one,

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:51.099
 showing how what the Lord speaks about a man

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:55.719
 is entirely equal to what a man is in reality.

00:01:56.119 --> 00:01:56.340
 Okay?

00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.479
 There is not competition between what the Lord is trying to reveal and call men to

00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:02.359
 versus what you actually are.

00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.280
 I think there's a lie and a deception that what the Lord says

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.219
 has no relevance to what is really the case.

00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:12.020
 That is a lie and I hope to dispel a lot of that lie today.

00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.319
 But then number two, I want to answer,

00:02:14.419 --> 00:02:16.719
 and this is perhaps even a more difficult question to answer,

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.379
 why does our culture question what has always been known that men are?

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:26.020
 And I actually think that there's a really good answer to that question.

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.300
 And I think when we answer that question well,

00:02:31.139 --> 00:02:39.020
 it can really help us in how we respond to these things in our day and age.

00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:40.520
 Because I think we do need a response.

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.699
 I think we need a response as those who would like to be men,

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.280
 because that's what the Lord has called us to,

00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:51.020
 but also respond as Christian men who are submitting to what the Lord has revealed.

00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.180
 Very important thing.

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:54.219
 So what I'm going to start with,

00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:58.340
 guys, this is going to be an incredible biology lesson.

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:02.139
 I'm really going to try to make this captivating to you guys.

00:03:02.139 --> 00:03:05.339
 This is something that is very captivating to me.

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.359
 I love this stuff.

00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:10.059
 But I also want to try to teach it in a way that is actually captivating to you guys,

00:03:10.119 --> 00:03:11.959
 because I think it's very captivating to a lot of men.

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:13.479
 Obviously, a lot, but some of these things,

00:03:13.779 --> 00:03:16.079
 for those of you who know me, you've already heard me talk about this stuff.

00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:17.619
 But for those of you who don't know me,

00:03:18.059 --> 00:03:20.199
 I think these things are really significant,

00:03:20.379 --> 00:03:22.359
 and I hope that you will, by the end of this teaching,

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:23.560
 think they're significant as well.

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.680
 So what I'm going to start with is the male development over the lifespan.

00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:31.000
 I'm going to try to cover this quickly.

00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:34.479
 And then after that, I'm going to circle back around,

00:03:34.620 --> 00:03:36.819
 and I'm actually going to talk about some historical developments

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:41.020
 that have caused us to really question masculinity in this day and age.

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.159
 And then I want to try to end on a note of some practical implications

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.920
 and how I think Christian men should navigate the unique challenges of this day and age

00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:52.060
 when masculinity is being questioned.

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:56.140
 I think one of the big things is I would like for men to live differently,

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:57.539
 not just argue differently.

00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.479
 I think one of the things that's a huge weakness

00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.400
 is when men just hear different perspectives,

00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:05.659
 and they parrot them rather than actually being different.

00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:09.159
 You know, he who is responsible in little will be responsible with much.

00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:13.099
 It's a very powerful thing when men get real conviction in their own lives,

00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.780
 and then when they testify to these things,

00:04:16.300 --> 00:04:19.680
 people see the reality of what's being lived out in their life.

00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:20.819
 That's called embodiment.

00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:22.680
 That is the most powerful form of influence.

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:25.480
 The most powerful form of influence is when you embody things

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.300
 and then testify to what you're embodying.

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.939
 The weakest form of influence is when you just have opinion.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:30.639
 Okay?

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:31.939
 That's what hypocrites have.

00:04:32.139 --> 00:04:33.740
 And I have been a hypocrite.

00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:35.040
 I am a hypocrite in many ways.

00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.319
 May we not be convicted about things where we're just hypocrites

00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:40.620
 that spout different things,

00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.939
 but may we be ones who have conviction and live different lives

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:47.100
 as a result of what we know and what we've learned.

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:47.360
 Okay?

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:53.300
 So, male biology development through the lifespan.

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.819
 I'm just going to try to run through this.

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.019
 Okay.

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.540
 Number one, men, XY versus XX.

00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:03.339
 About two to three months in utero in your mother's womb,

00:05:03.339 --> 00:05:05.859
 that X-crobosome gets triggered,

00:05:06.239 --> 00:05:07.879
 and it causes a whole cascade of events.

00:05:08.799 --> 00:05:11.079
 First one, testosterone increases.

00:05:11.619 --> 00:05:13.879
 Testosterone does a handful of things inside the womb.

00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.199
 Guys, I told you this is going to be biology.

00:05:15.299 --> 00:05:15.879
 It's going to be biology.

00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:16.659
 Okay.

00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:20.080
 As a result of testosterone increasing inside the womb,

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:24.700
 it also causes his testicles to start to develop,

00:05:25.260 --> 00:05:28.960
 but it also causes a whole bunch of neurochemical changes.

00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:32.440
 One of the things that happens distinctly for little boys in their mother's womb

00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:35.480
 is there's this thing called the corpus callosum.

00:05:35.780 --> 00:05:40.440
 That is the bridge between your right and left hemispheres of your brain.

00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:44.640
 The corpus callosum is what creates communication

00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:46.340
 between your right and left hemispheres.

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:50.279
 In a male, it is smaller than a female.

00:05:50.799 --> 00:05:52.179
 Maybe you guys, I didn't know this.

00:05:52.539 --> 00:05:53.619
 Some of you guys already know this.

00:05:53.699 --> 00:05:54.519
 Some of you guys don't know this.

00:05:54.919 --> 00:05:56.719
 That creates a lot of distinction.

00:05:57.239 --> 00:06:01.319
 This is one of the reasons why women have a higher propensity

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.219
 to perform while multitasking.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:05.899
 That's one of the reasons why men tend to be niche

00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:07.500
 and to be single-track mind.

00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.839
 A lot of people say this kind of stuff is stereotype.

00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:12.239
 That is actually not stereotype.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:18.180
 The Lord designed men to have an ability to focus on one task and perform it well.

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:21.740
 Men outperform women when tending to one task,

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.519
 whereas women outperform men when tending to multiple tasks.

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.300
 The other thing is testosterone increases.

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.040
 Not only testosterone is increased,

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.780
 but also another peptide hormone,

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:38.480
 which is called basopressin.

00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:41.680
 Probably Jacob's the only one here who knows what basopressin is.

00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.040
 It's also called antidiuretic hormone.

00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:47.980
 Basopressin is what animals, male animals have,

00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:48.980
 male mammals have,

00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.860
 that causes them to go around and pee on different trees.

00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:53.740
 All right, somebody tell me.

00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:56.360
 What are they doing when they're peeing on different trees?

00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.520
 They're marking their territory.

00:07:00.020 --> 00:07:00.900
 Okay, we have that too.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:01.680
 It's elevated men.

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:03.780
 It's about three to four times higher in men than women.

00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:04.240
 Okay?

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:11.439
 Men distinctly have an ability to assign territory,

00:07:11.660 --> 00:07:13.920
 what is theirs, what they own,

00:07:14.340 --> 00:07:17.360
 and subsequently, what they protect.

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:22.900
 Basopressin is the male counterpart to another hormone

00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:24.379
 you guys probably have heard of,

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:25.879
 which is called oxytocin.

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.360
 All right, somebody tell me what oxytocin is.

00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:30.879
 Come on, somebody.

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:32.199
 The happiness?

00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:34.100
 Okay, close.

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:36.220
 Yeah, it does produce happiness.

00:07:36.340 --> 00:07:36.639
 Let's say that.

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.420
 So oxytocin fundamentally is our comfort and bonding hormone.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:40.939
 Okay?

00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:42.460
 Women have higher degrees,

00:07:42.540 --> 00:07:45.139
 about 50% higher degrees of oxytocin than men.

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:47.379
 And it's one of the things that gives women a propensity

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:49.639
 to be able to empathize more efficiently than men.

00:07:49.819 --> 00:07:50.000
 Okay?

00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:53.800
 They are more attuned to people's emotion

00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:54.939
 and extending comfort.

00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:58.099
 Oxytocin has a twin brother hormone

00:07:58.099 --> 00:08:00.039
 that is called vasopressin.

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.459
 Vasopressin is what causes men

00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:04.259
 to have a strong sense of brotherhood.

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.839
 When men go to war

00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.699
 and they fight with their brothers in arms,

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:09.219
 they come back home

00:08:09.219 --> 00:08:11.019
 and they have a connection with those guys

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:11.839
 they went to war with.

00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:14.680
 A lot of you guys probably heard veterans say this.

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.400
 My brothers that I went to war with

00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:21.759
 were closer to me than even my own family.

00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:22.860
 They'll say things like this.

00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:24.900
 That is elevated vasopressin.

00:08:25.660 --> 00:08:26.819
 Men are designed

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:29.139
 by way of bonding.

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.420
 How we are predisposed to bond with things

00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:33.620
 is to have a brotherhood

00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.860
 that comes from assigning territory,

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.539
 which is ownership.

00:08:37.659 --> 00:08:38.779
 They assign ownership

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:40.180
 and protection.

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:40.759
 Okay?

00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:42.039
 The Lord designed men

00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.919
 in their relationships

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.700
 to navigate them

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:46.980
 with ownership

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:48.059
 and protection.

00:08:48.059 --> 00:08:48.539
 Okay?

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:49.580
 When men are healthy,

00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:51.799
 they are more predisposed

00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.059
 towards feeling like

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:54.519
 that is my wife.

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.939
 That is my children.

00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:57.259
 Those are my brothers.

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:57.700
 Okay?

00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:58.939
 And what do they do?

00:08:59.059 --> 00:08:59.980
 They protect them.

00:09:00.319 --> 00:09:00.500
 Okay?

00:09:00.939 --> 00:09:02.399
 Women have more of a disposition

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.539
 towards extending comfort

00:09:04.539 --> 00:09:05.519
 and connection

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.019
 to those that they connect with.

00:09:07.019 --> 00:09:07.419
 Okay?

00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:09.340
 Men have more of a disposition

00:09:09.340 --> 00:09:11.039
 towards this ownership

00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:12.899
 and protectiveness.

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:13.379
 Okay?

00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:14.500
 Which, again,

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.419
 we're going to come back to this,

00:09:15.500 --> 00:09:17.259
 but one of the hallmarks

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.079
 of masculinity

00:09:18.079 --> 00:09:19.939
 is being an owner

00:09:19.939 --> 00:09:20.779
 of your life.

00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:22.059
 The Lord meant for you

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:23.259
 to not be an employer

00:09:23.259 --> 00:09:23.799
 of your life,

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:24.740
 not be a spectator

00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:25.199
 of your life,

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:26.720
 but to own your life.

00:09:26.899 --> 00:09:27.139
 Okay?

00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:28.279
 So then,

00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.240
 as we progress,

00:09:29.819 --> 00:09:30.279
 little boys,

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:30.799
 little girls,

00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:32.399
 after they come out

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:32.740
 of the womb,

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.779
 as a result

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:35.840
 of some of these hormones,

00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:36.840
 one of the things

00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:37.620
 that happens is

00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:38.660
 little boys

00:09:38.660 --> 00:09:39.840
 have a smaller

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.780
 corpus callosum.

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.440
 They tend more

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:43.300
 to one task,

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.379
 whereas little girls

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.100
 are a little bit

00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:45.800
 more emotional.

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.540
 They have more activity

00:09:47.540 --> 00:09:49.000
 across their entire brain.

00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:50.480
 There's more interconnectivity.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:51.560
 And one of the things

00:09:51.560 --> 00:09:52.600
 is they have elevated

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.460
 oxytocin levels.

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:54.320
 That's why you see

00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:55.180
 little bitty girls

00:09:55.180 --> 00:09:57.180
 immediately having

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:58.139
 a gravitational pull

00:09:58.139 --> 00:09:59.040
 towards dolls,

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:00.600
 towards nurturing things.

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:01.920
 My little bitty

00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:02.740
 toddler girls

00:10:02.740 --> 00:10:04.080
 are nurturing

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:05.240
 to the little brother

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:05.820
 that just came out

00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:06.120
 of the womb.

00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:07.640
 That's in their nature.

00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:09.000
 The Lord designed them

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.040
 at a very young age

00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:11.060
 to be more nurturing.

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:11.900
 And they designed

00:10:11.900 --> 00:10:12.480
 little boys

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:13.520
 at a very young age

00:10:13.520 --> 00:10:16.060
 to turn everything

00:10:16.060 --> 00:10:16.720
 into a gun

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:17.220
 or everything

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:17.800
 into a sword.

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:20.800
 Little boys

00:10:20.800 --> 00:10:22.000
 who are appropriately

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.600
 developing

00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.700
 develop a sense

00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:25.480
 of protecting

00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:26.140
 and fighting

00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:27.120
 for what they care for

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.120
 at a very,

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:28.700
 very young age.

00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:30.180
 So then,

00:10:30.900 --> 00:10:31.760
 across the lifespan,

00:10:32.060 --> 00:10:32.520
 if you take

00:10:32.520 --> 00:10:33.840
 a little boy's body

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.140
 versus a little girl's body

00:10:35.139 --> 00:10:36.699
 and you can't see

00:10:36.699 --> 00:10:37.279
 their face

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.019
 and they've got

00:10:38.019 --> 00:10:38.720
 their underwear on,

00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:39.559
 just looking at

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:39.939
 their body,

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:41.019
 it's actually very hard

00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:42.519
 to tell which is a boy

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:43.299
 and which is a girl

00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:44.379
 because they have not

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.279
 gone through puberty yet.

00:10:45.699 --> 00:10:46.080
 So one of the things

00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:46.939
 that happens in puberty

00:10:46.939 --> 00:10:49.319
 is we have a skyrocketing,

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:49.879
 what we'll call

00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:51.299
 sex steroid hormones.

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:52.500
 You guys probably know

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:52.980
 some of these.

00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:53.779
 There's a couple

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:54.580
 that I think you probably

00:10:54.580 --> 00:10:55.059
 don't know

00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:55.480
 that I'm going to need

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:56.379
 to introduce you to

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:56.980
 because they're going

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.340
 to get more

00:10:57.340 --> 00:10:57.899
 and more important.

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.039
 Number one

00:10:59.039 --> 00:10:59.840
 is estrogen.

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.580
 You guys probably

00:11:00.580 --> 00:11:00.960
 already know

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.000
 know what estrogen is.

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:03.940
 Estrogen skyrockets

00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:04.800
 post-puberty.

00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:06.060
 Women tend to have

00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:06.960
 between five and ten

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.560
 times as much

00:11:07.560 --> 00:11:08.360
 estrogen as men.

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:10.840
 Testosterone skyrockets

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:11.960
 post-puberty

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:13.320
 in boys

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:14.300
 who become men

00:11:14.300 --> 00:11:15.379
 and it's about

00:11:15.379 --> 00:11:16.740
 ten times as high

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.139
 as women.

00:11:17.540 --> 00:11:17.660
 Okay?

00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:20.220
 The other two hormones

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:20.900
 that I'm going

00:11:20.900 --> 00:11:21.660
 to introduce you to,

00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:23.120
 some of you guys

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.440
 are married,

00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:24.200
 some of you guys

00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:24.800
 know these things.

00:11:25.800 --> 00:11:27.100
 Women have two

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:29.139
 primary sex steroid

00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:29.480
 hormones.

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:30.259
 Estrogen.

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:31.180
 You guys have

00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:31.680
 heard that before.

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.019
 Here's one you might

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:33.519
 not have heard of.

00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:34.580
 Progesterone.

00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:35.779
 Some of you guys

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:36.039
 who are trying

00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:36.539
 to get pregnant

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:37.440
 have heard of this one.

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:39.460
 Progesterone is the

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:41.039
 other balancing hormone

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.759
 that women have

00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.220
 but then men also

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:44.039
 actually have two

00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:44.920
 sex steroid hormones.

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:45.620
 They're every bit

00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.100
 as important.

00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:47.039
 Testosterone.

00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:47.560
 You guys have probably

00:11:47.560 --> 00:11:48.220
 heard of testosterone

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.820
 but there's another

00:11:49.820 --> 00:11:50.860
 hormone that testosterone

00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:51.899
 turns into which is

00:11:51.899 --> 00:11:53.399
 called dihydrotestosterone.

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:54.460
 So I go what you guys

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:54.840
 remember.

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.200
 Progesterone,

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:57.259
 woman,

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.460
 dihydrotestosterone,

00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:00.279
 man.

00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:02.480
 As we progress

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:03.039
 through puberty

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.800
 one of the things

00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:04.460
 that happens

00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:06.080
 is men have

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:06.580
 what's called

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:07.779
 a diurnal pattern.

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.420
 Every 24 hours

00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:12.259
 your sex steroid hormones,

00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:13.200
 your testosterone,

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:14.680
 and your dihydrotestosterone

00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:16.159
 repopulate when you sleep.

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:18.139
 It also repopulates

00:12:18.139 --> 00:12:18.580
 for women

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:19.279
 but women have

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.320
 a very, very different

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.460
 cycle than men do.

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.279
 Every single 24 hours

00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.620
 a full rotation

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:25.100
 of the earth

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:26.759
 men are completely

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:27.360
 replenished

00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:28.120
 with their sex steroid

00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:28.480
 hormones.

00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:32.060
 Women don't replenish

00:12:32.060 --> 00:12:32.560
 in the same way

00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:33.139
 that men do

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:34.220
 every 24 hours

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:36.080
 according to their

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.940
 hormonal cascade.

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:38.680
 Women's hormonal

00:12:38.680 --> 00:12:39.100
 cascade

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:41.200
 is every

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.860
 full moon

00:12:42.860 --> 00:12:43.980
 rotation of the earth

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:45.279
 every 28 days.

00:12:46.060 --> 00:12:46.740
 Women's

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:47.960
 hormonal

00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:48.779
 pattern

00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:50.179
 is not dictated

00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:50.740
 by the day.

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:51.740
 It's dictated

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.220
 by the moon

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:53.860
 rotating around

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.159
 the earth

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.019
 every 28 days.

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.179
 So there's an extent

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:56.600
 to which

00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:57.980
 men's hormonal

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:58.339
 pattern

00:12:58.339 --> 00:12:59.139
 is dictated

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:00.500
 by the earth's

00:13:00.500 --> 00:13:00.939
 rotation

00:13:00.939 --> 00:13:02.279
 whereas women's

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:02.799
 is dictated

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.159
 by the moon.

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:03.500
 It's actually

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.240
 a beautiful metaphor

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.679
 of men and women.

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:06.259
 Right?

00:13:07.699 --> 00:13:08.559
 One of the things

00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:09.179
 that happens

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:10.639
 that's very distinct

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.139
 for women

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:12.240
 in comparison to men

00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:13.980
 is the first

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:15.079
 half of the cycle,

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:15.700
 this is all

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.280
 going to tie back.

00:13:16.920 --> 00:13:17.820
 The first half

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:18.320
 of their cycle

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.720
 is estrogen based.

00:13:19.900 --> 00:13:20.259
 Essentially,

00:13:20.340 --> 00:13:20.759
 I'm making this

00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:21.240
 more simple

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:21.759
 than it is.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:22.980
 Jacob can critique

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:23.440
 me at the end.

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:24.840
 But essentially,

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:25.480
 the first half

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:25.980
 of their cycle

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:28.120
 is estrogen based.

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:29.300
 Estrogen causes

00:13:29.300 --> 00:13:30.560
 women to

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:31.460
 increase their

00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:32.220
 oxytocin levels.

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:33.320
 It causes them

00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:33.980
 to be more

00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:34.820
 emotionally attuned.

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:35.480
 It causes them

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:36.280
 to be more expressive

00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:37.660
 and also to seek

00:13:37.660 --> 00:13:38.940
 attention and validation

00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:39.400
 for men.

00:13:40.060 --> 00:13:40.200
 Okay?

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:41.600
 The second half

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.140
 of their cycle,

00:13:42.420 --> 00:13:43.160
 which is after

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:44.180
 they were fertile,

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.159
 so they're not

00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:45.779
 fertile anymore.

00:13:46.099 --> 00:13:46.739
 They were fertile,

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:47.620
 now they're not fertile

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.879
 post-fertility.

00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:50.479
 What happens

00:13:50.479 --> 00:13:51.179
 is they become

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:51.919
 dominant by

00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:52.859
 their other hormone

00:13:52.859 --> 00:13:54.339
 called progesterone.

00:13:55.239 --> 00:13:55.899
 Progesterone is

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.579
 what causes women

00:13:56.579 --> 00:13:57.639
 to kind of chill out.

00:13:58.059 --> 00:13:58.439
 They're a little bit

00:13:58.439 --> 00:13:59.359
 more emotionally stable.

00:14:00.579 --> 00:14:01.099
 Some of you guys

00:14:01.099 --> 00:14:01.719
 are going to say this

00:14:01.719 --> 00:14:02.159
 and then you're going

00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.559
 to start watching

00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:02.919
 your wives

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.120
 and you're going to

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.299
 be like,

00:14:03.339 --> 00:14:03.699
 oh shit,

00:14:03.739 --> 00:14:04.219
 he was right.

00:14:06.219 --> 00:14:07.219
 The second half

00:14:07.219 --> 00:14:07.679
 of their cycle

00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.639
 is progesterone

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:09.019
 dominant.

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:10.019
 They're less

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:10.919
 interested in sex.

00:14:11.699 --> 00:14:11.839
 Okay?

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.459
 They're a little bit

00:14:13.460 --> 00:14:14.220
 less itinerant.

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:15.060
 They're more content

00:14:15.060 --> 00:14:15.600
 being home

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:16.519
 and they're more chill

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.100
 in their evenings.

00:14:17.660 --> 00:14:18.879
 This is called progesterone.

00:14:19.900 --> 00:14:20.340
 Progesterone

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:21.519
 is what is activating

00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:22.340
 a woman's body

00:14:22.340 --> 00:14:23.200
 when her body

00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.840
 thinks she might

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.300
 be pregnant

00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:25.080
 and is being

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:25.680
 more conservative

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:26.780
 to protect

00:14:26.780 --> 00:14:27.900
 the potential baby

00:14:27.900 --> 00:14:29.680
 and just set it up

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:30.300
 for success

00:14:30.300 --> 00:14:30.920
 by way of not

00:14:30.920 --> 00:14:31.720
 overdoing herself.

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:32.320
 Okay?

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:33.680
 Men,

00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:34.480
 on the other hand,

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:36.280
 have the skyrocket

00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:37.280
 of testosterone

00:14:37.280 --> 00:14:38.639
 when they're in puberty.

00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:40.440
 What testosterone does

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.780
 is it crushes

00:14:42.780 --> 00:14:43.820
 cortisol.

00:14:44.700 --> 00:14:45.100
 Cortisol

00:14:45.100 --> 00:14:45.960
 is our

00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:46.840
 fear

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:47.700
 hormone.

00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.420
 It's our

00:14:48.420 --> 00:14:49.540
 stress hormone.

00:14:50.040 --> 00:14:50.820
 So it causes them

00:14:50.820 --> 00:14:51.980
 to be less scared

00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:52.500
 of life

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.960
 and also

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:55.080
 increases

00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:56.320
 their dopamine.

00:14:56.980 --> 00:14:57.300
 Dopamine

00:14:57.300 --> 00:14:58.220
 is our

00:14:58.220 --> 00:14:59.020
 neurotransmitter

00:14:59.020 --> 00:14:59.740
 that causes us

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.060
 to have

00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:01.080
 more,

00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:02.760
 to focus more

00:15:02.760 --> 00:15:03.360
 on goals

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:03.900
 and have more

00:15:03.900 --> 00:15:04.300
 ambition.

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:05.020
 It's essentially

00:15:05.020 --> 00:15:06.000
 our ambition

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.280
 neurotransmitter.

00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:08.100
 So when you

00:15:08.100 --> 00:15:09.080
 increase testosterone,

00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.180
 you increase

00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:10.600
 ambition

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.660
 and you

00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:13.780
 decrease fear,

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:14.480
 essentially.

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:15.220
 Okay?

00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:16.440
 This is kind of

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:16.840
 a little bit

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.560
 oversimplification.

00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.139
 I'm trying to make

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:18.600
 this really

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.920
 palatable.

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:20.780
 Okay.

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:22.440
 Now,

00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:23.460
 testosterone,

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:24.620
 again,

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:25.220
 we're still in puberty

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:25.460
 here.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:26.639
 Testosterone,

00:15:26.800 --> 00:15:27.340
 fundamentally,

00:15:27.520 --> 00:15:28.080
 what it does

00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:28.940
 on our body

00:15:28.940 --> 00:15:30.700
 is it causes us

00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:31.860
 to develop

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:32.800
 more muscle

00:15:32.800 --> 00:15:34.500
 and more strength

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:34.960
 subsequently.

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.360
 Duh.

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:36.879
 But also,

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.179
 what it does

00:15:38.179 --> 00:15:38.759
 is it actually

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.320
 causes our bones

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:41.559
 to be more dense.

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:42.200
 Our bones

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:42.939
 can literally

00:15:42.939 --> 00:15:43.659
 carry more.

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.679
 As a result

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:45.340
 of elevated

00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:46.179
 testosterone levels,

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:46.840
 the average

00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.860
 adult male

00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.159
 is about 40%

00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:49.700
 stronger

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.539
 than the average

00:15:50.539 --> 00:15:51.659
 adult female.

00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:52.620
 It literally

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.639
 makes men stronger.

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.779
 It also increases

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:55.259
 their dopamine.

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.379
 It also increases

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.159
 their thyroid hormone.

00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.240
 Essentially,

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.259
 testosterone's

00:15:59.259 --> 00:15:59.980
 activity

00:15:59.980 --> 00:16:00.980
 in a male's body

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:01.860
 causes him

00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.500
 to be able

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.940
 to be more ambitious,

00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:05.620
 to work harder,

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:06.919
 to lift more,

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:08.320
 and to work longer.

00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:09.580
 And,

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.100
 because of testosterone

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:12.320
 and vasopressin's

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.340
 effect on the brain,

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.200
 it causes us

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:15.240
 to be more single-minded,

00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.659
 causes us to tend

00:16:16.659 --> 00:16:17.539
 to things

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:18.580
 more than relationships,

00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:19.419
 whereas women,

00:16:19.740 --> 00:16:20.779
 their effect on testosterone

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.700
 and oxytocin

00:16:21.700 --> 00:16:22.460
 causes them

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:23.080
 to prioritize

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:23.919
 relationships

00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:24.879
 and be affected

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.779
 by relationships

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.220
 primarily,

00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:26.899
 whereas men

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:27.940
 tend to be

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:28.820
 affected

00:16:28.820 --> 00:16:30.379
 and concerned

00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:31.840
 about

00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:32.980
 their physical

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:33.680
 environment more.

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.139
 Okay,

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.659
 these are not

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:35.180
 stereotypes.

00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:35.939
 This is actually

00:16:35.939 --> 00:16:36.299
 how the Lord

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:37.000
 designed our bodies.

00:16:37.419 --> 00:16:37.519
 Okay?

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:39.039
 So,

00:16:39.259 --> 00:16:40.079
 then,

00:16:40.339 --> 00:16:41.319
 as a male gets older,

00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:43.979
 there's another guy

00:16:43.979 --> 00:16:44.939
 you're going to meet.

00:16:45.099 --> 00:16:46.059
 This is post-puberty

00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:47.139
 for the most part.

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:48.599
 His name is

00:16:48.599 --> 00:16:50.559
 dihydrotestosterone.

00:16:51.079 --> 00:16:51.239
 Okay?

00:16:51.859 --> 00:16:52.719
 Maybe the most

00:16:52.719 --> 00:16:53.339
 important hormone

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:54.199
 we're talking about tonight.

00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.199
 Dihydrotestosterone

00:16:56.199 --> 00:16:57.000
 is what causes

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.019
 our beards to grow,

00:16:58.599 --> 00:16:59.559
 our voice to zeepen,

00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.899
 our Adam's apple

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:01.279
 to grow.

00:17:02.099 --> 00:17:03.299
 It's what causes us

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:04.000
 to have more

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.099
 emotional stability,

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.420
 one of the things

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:07.420
 that happens with testosterone,

00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:08.259
 it really increases

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:09.080
 your ambition,

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.700
 but it also can cause

00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:12.900
 your disposition

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.779
 towards risk-taking.

00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:14.900
 One of the things,

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.180
 actually,

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.080
 I think I'll think about this

00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:17.460
 even in terms of movies.

00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:18.779
 If I was going to

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:20.000
 typify testosterone

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.580
 in a movie,

00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:21.299
 it would probably be

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.980
 movies like

00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:22.980
 Fast and the Furious

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.820
 or something like that

00:17:23.820 --> 00:17:24.299
 where it's like

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:25.840
 a bunch of young guys

00:17:25.840 --> 00:17:27.120
 doing dumb shit

00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:28.180
 trying to impress people.

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.039
 Okay?

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.099
 This is very,

00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:31.180
 you know,

00:17:31.399 --> 00:17:32.819
 this is very,

00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:34.259
 you know,

00:17:34.399 --> 00:17:34.899
 middle school,

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.359
 high school,

00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:35.899
 college,

00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.619
 which is very typified

00:17:37.619 --> 00:17:40.480
 by testosterone's

00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:41.619
 effect on young men.

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:42.220
 Okay?

00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:43.079
 They're expanding

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:43.759
 their territory.

00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:45.659
 They're curious.

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.159
 They're learning

00:17:46.159 --> 00:17:46.740
 about things.

00:17:46.899 --> 00:17:48.659
 They're getting grip

00:17:48.659 --> 00:17:49.759
 on having ambition

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.200
 in life.

00:17:50.899 --> 00:17:51.420
 But one of the things

00:17:51.420 --> 00:17:51.839
 that emerges

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:53.039
 as men are more mature

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.059
 is this other hormone,

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.899
 which is testosterone's

00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:57.659
 conversion to

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.720
 dihydrotestosterone.

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:00.299
 Dihydrotestosterone,

00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:01.019
 on the other hand,

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.339
 causes the real

00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:06.099
 emotional stability

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:07.659
 that's associated

00:18:07.659 --> 00:18:08.200
 with men.

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.200
 The only way I can

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.059
 describe it is

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:11.519
 dihydrotestosterone

00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.399
 essentially takes

00:18:12.399 --> 00:18:14.000
 the whole emotional

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.180
 landscape of life

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:16.279
 and puts it

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:17.059
 completely under

00:18:17.059 --> 00:18:17.559
 your charge.

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:18.659
 You still feel sadness.

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:20.539
 You still feel fear.

00:18:20.879 --> 00:18:21.879
 You still feel anger.

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.579
 All those things.

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:23.699
 But it's very

00:18:23.699 --> 00:18:25.119
 subservient to you.

00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:25.899
 It does not have

00:18:25.899 --> 00:18:26.639
 control over you.

00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:27.399
 One of the things

00:18:27.399 --> 00:18:28.019
 with testosterone,

00:18:28.199 --> 00:18:29.220
 if you elevate it

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:29.639
 in isolation,

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:30.439
 it can make you

00:18:30.439 --> 00:18:30.919
 more aggressive.

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:32.039
 It doesn't quite feel

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:32.519
 like anger.

00:18:32.779 --> 00:18:33.299
 It feels more like

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:33.720
 intensity.

00:18:34.179 --> 00:18:34.679
 I think that's actually

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:35.179
 one of the things

00:18:35.179 --> 00:18:36.039
 that women sometimes

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.559
 misunderstand,

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:37.740
 that men can be

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:38.439
 really intense,

00:18:38.579 --> 00:18:39.159
 but to them it

00:18:39.159 --> 00:18:39.939
 doesn't feel like anger.

00:18:40.399 --> 00:18:41.679
 But for the woman,

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.339
 it actually does

00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:42.899
 feel like anger.

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:43.799
 A lot of just,

00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:44.639
 if you elevate

00:18:44.639 --> 00:18:45.639
 testosterone in isolation,

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:47.179
 you'll get a lot of that.

00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:47.799
 You'll get a lot of

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.299
 this intensity

00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.079
 and reactiveness.

00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:50.439
 It doesn't feel like

00:18:50.439 --> 00:18:50.720
 anger,

00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:52.039
 but to the other parties

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.480
 you might experience

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.059
 it like anger,

00:18:54.159 --> 00:18:54.680
 if that makes sense.

00:18:56.099 --> 00:18:56.539
 Dihydrotestosterone,

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.159
 on the other hand,

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:59.159
 is very,

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.799
 I'm trying to think

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:02.240
 how I say this,

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.639
 it takes very

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.420
 calculated risk.

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.659
 If I was to typify

00:19:05.659 --> 00:19:06.159
 dihydrotestosterone

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.539
 in a movie,

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.500
 it would be someone

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.279
 like the character

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:10.599
 Vito Corleone

00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.039
 from The Godfather.

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:13.219
 Just someone who's

00:19:13.219 --> 00:19:15.219
 really in control,

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.059
 demands a lot of respect,

00:19:17.339 --> 00:19:17.819
 takes a very

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.659
 calculated risk,

00:19:18.819 --> 00:19:19.279
 knows how to

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.179
 pick his battles,

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.219
 pick his fights,

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:22.299
 is not pushed around

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:22.899
 by anybody.

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:24.039
 This is dihydrotestosterone.

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:25.199
 This is the more

00:19:25.199 --> 00:19:26.779
 mature male

00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:27.699
 sex steroid hormone.

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.559
 I believe

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:29.619
 that because

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.659
 of the late development

00:19:30.659 --> 00:19:32.159
 of dihydrotestosterone,

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.980
 a lot of women

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:33.799
 who end up being

00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:34.819
 attracted to older men

00:19:34.819 --> 00:19:35.519
 are actually being

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.179
 attracted to some

00:19:36.179 --> 00:19:36.939
 of these characteristics.

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:39.200
 It appears

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:40.340
 more stable.

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.779
 There is this

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:45.240
 whole development

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:46.160
 through the lifespan

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.940
 that causes men

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:49.279
 to actually relate

00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:49.660
 with the world

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:50.200
 very differently.

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:50.759
 Women,

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.740
 in their nature,

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:52.680
 relate very differently.

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:55.539
 That's kind of

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:56.200
 like a little bit

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.799
 of an introduction

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.400
 to some of these

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.140
 biological terms.

00:19:59.279 --> 00:19:59.680
 I know I'm doing

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.380
 a lot of biology.

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.340
 One of the questions

00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:03.380
 I really want to answer

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:06.680
 is why is the culture

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.060
 having something

00:20:08.060 --> 00:20:09.759
 of a strong critique

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:11.740
 towards masculinity

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.940
 that is something

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:14.160
 that emerges

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.320
 from our biology?

00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.160
 Well, I believe,

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:18.400
 I think you guys

00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.080
 will believe too

00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:19.960
 after I say all this,

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:21.620
 that it all happened

00:20:21.620 --> 00:20:23.320
 in the 1960s.

00:20:24.340 --> 00:20:25.100
 Two things that happened

00:20:25.100 --> 00:20:25.779
 in the 1960s

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:26.360
 are really important

00:20:26.360 --> 00:20:26.700
 for us.

00:20:26.860 --> 00:20:27.279
 Number one,

00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:28.740
 they figured out

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:30.880
 how to test

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:31.960
 hormone levels

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:33.140
 in blood.

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:33.840
 They were able

00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:34.620
 to figure out

00:20:34.620 --> 00:20:35.700
 the actual hormone

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:36.360
 level amounts

00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.779
 in the 1960s.

00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:38.939
 They basically figured out

00:20:38.939 --> 00:20:41.279
 how to make

00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:42.559
 synthetic hormones

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:44.419
 and detect synthetic hormones

00:20:44.419 --> 00:20:45.359
 very efficiently,

00:20:45.659 --> 00:20:46.919
 both in our bodies

00:20:46.919 --> 00:20:47.799
 and also make them

00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:48.299
 in a lab.

00:20:48.659 --> 00:20:48.759
 Okay?

00:20:50.219 --> 00:20:50.939
 One of the things

00:20:50.939 --> 00:20:51.240
 that happened

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.139
 in the 1960s,

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:54.539
 sexual revolution.

00:20:54.959 --> 00:20:56.019
 I believe that essentially

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.939
 the sexual revolution

00:20:56.939 --> 00:20:59.139
 is as a result

00:20:59.139 --> 00:21:01.539
 of the biological breakthroughs

00:21:01.539 --> 00:21:02.500
 that happened

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.339
 around sex steroid hormones

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:05.500
 that we were able

00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:07.339
 to first work with

00:21:07.339 --> 00:21:08.000
 efficiently

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.000
 because of some

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.839
 of these inventions

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:11.259
 that happened

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:11.679
 at the time.

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:13.359
 And the thing

00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:14.000
 that changed

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.579
 was what is known

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:16.839
 as the pill.

00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:19.119
 Who knows

00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:19.720
 what the pill is?

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.359
 What's the pill?

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:24.500
 Birth control.

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:25.099
 Birth control.

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.419
 Okay.

00:21:31.419 --> 00:21:31.939
 Okay.

00:21:33.939 --> 00:21:34.639
 You guys,

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.859
 if you guys don't have

00:21:35.859 --> 00:21:36.339
 strong convictions

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:36.839
 about the pill,

00:21:36.939 --> 00:21:37.599
 you're probably going to have

00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.119
 strong convictions

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.519
 about the pill

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.259
 after I finish

00:21:39.259 --> 00:21:39.839
 what I'm about to say.

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.679
 Jacob's probably the only person

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:42.079
 here who knows

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.500
 what I'm about to say.

00:21:43.179 --> 00:21:43.500
 Okay.

00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:46.219
 The pill is,

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.179
 let me just say

00:21:47.179 --> 00:21:48.039
 essentially what it is.

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:49.059
 The original pill

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.619
 that was developed

00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:50.639
 back in 1960s

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:53.320
 was a version

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:54.460
 of progesterone.

00:21:54.540 --> 00:21:54.800
 Remember,

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.860
 a woman's cycle,

00:21:56.180 --> 00:21:56.880
 what makes her

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.240
 more strongly

00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:58.980
 attenuated

00:21:58.980 --> 00:21:59.660
 to her relationship

00:21:59.660 --> 00:22:00.240
 to men

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.960
 is estrogen.

00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:01.980
 It's what causes her

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:03.120
 to get pregnant.

00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:03.640
 Okay.

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:06.980
 In her second part

00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.420
 of her cycle

00:22:07.420 --> 00:22:08.259
 is progesterone.

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.460
 They developed

00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:11.680
 a synthetic derivative

00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:13.160
 of progesterone.

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:14.140
 It's called

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:16.020
 a 19-nore

00:22:16.020 --> 00:22:16.860
 progestin.

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:17.719
 Okay.

00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:19.319
 This is like

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:20.079
 one of,

00:22:20.459 --> 00:22:21.000
 again,

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:21.479
 you guys probably

00:22:21.479 --> 00:22:22.079
 don't know any of this.

00:22:22.679 --> 00:22:23.539
 One of the most

00:22:23.539 --> 00:22:24.719
 abused drugs

00:22:24.719 --> 00:22:25.399
 in bodybuilding

00:22:25.399 --> 00:22:26.659
 is 19-nores.

00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:28.219
 The reason is

00:22:28.219 --> 00:22:29.719
 19-nores

00:22:29.719 --> 00:22:30.919
 are,

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:32.519
 they are

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:33.579
 a derivative

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:34.519
 of progesterone

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.379
 that is similar

00:22:36.379 --> 00:22:37.419
 enough to testosterone

00:22:37.419 --> 00:22:38.179
 that has about

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.759
 the same amount

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.279
 of activity

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.359
 on the progesterone

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:41.819
 receptors

00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:42.539
 as it does

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.240
 their testosterone

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:43.699
 receptors.

00:22:43.899 --> 00:22:44.379
 So this is what

00:22:44.379 --> 00:22:44.959
 actually happened

00:22:44.959 --> 00:22:45.779
 in the 1960s.

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:46.779
 They developed

00:22:46.779 --> 00:22:47.599
 birth control pill.

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:50.079
 This birth control pill

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.940
 caused women

00:22:50.940 --> 00:22:51.700
 to no longer

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:52.099
 be fertile.

00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.220
 So there was

00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:54.000
 a sexual evolution

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.859
 because we can have

00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:55.220
 sex,

00:22:55.399 --> 00:22:55.940
 men and women,

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.879
 without consequence.

00:22:57.399 --> 00:22:58.500
 But it actually

00:22:58.500 --> 00:22:59.379
 made women

00:22:59.379 --> 00:23:00.859
 essentially have

00:23:00.859 --> 00:23:02.460
 an estrogen experience

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:03.819
 that was negligible.

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:04.660
 So what you do,

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.160
 put them on a 19-nore,

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.420
 you get all this

00:23:07.420 --> 00:23:08.339
 progesterone activity,

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:09.299
 their body thinks

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:10.059
 they are pregnant,

00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:12.220
 and you give them

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:13.139
 a little bit of estrogen,

00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:14.559
 and you essentially

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.480
 keep them in the

00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:15.920
 second half

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:16.380
 of their cycle.

00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:17.300
 Okay?

00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:18.660
 Their body thinks

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:19.220
 they're in the second

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:19.779
 half of their cycle,

00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:20.480
 not the first half.

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:21.640
 What it causes

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.120
 is this is the most

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:24.580
 independent a woman

00:23:24.580 --> 00:23:25.500
 is towards her husband

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:26.220
 in the first place.

00:23:26.560 --> 00:23:27.360
 A woman's second

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:28.080
 half of her cycle

00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:29.000
 is when she's

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:29.640
 least interested

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.120
 in sex,

00:23:30.539 --> 00:23:31.100
 and when she's

00:23:31.100 --> 00:23:32.180
 most chill,

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.320
 and just like,

00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:33.980
 whatever,

00:23:34.300 --> 00:23:34.539
 you know,

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:35.800
 what a woman is

00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:36.340
 in her second half

00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:36.680
 of the cycle.

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:38.539
 Okay,

00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:39.779
 here's the other

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.460
 thing that's happening

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:40.700
 though.

00:23:41.340 --> 00:23:42.100
 It is acting

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:43.319
 on her testosterone

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:43.799
 receptors

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:45.039
 as much as it is

00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:46.000
 her progesterone

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.399
 receptors.

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.039
 So one of the things

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.279
 that happened

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.240
 in the 1960s

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:49.119
 is women

00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:50.679
 actually experience,

00:23:51.679 --> 00:23:53.059
 in a manner of speaking,

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:53.799
 what it's like

00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:54.399
 to be a man

00:23:54.399 --> 00:23:55.279
 more than

00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.779
 had ever been

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.179
 the case.

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:58.219
 Unless you think

00:23:58.219 --> 00:23:58.799
 that this wasn't

00:23:58.799 --> 00:23:59.399
 very prevalent

00:23:59.399 --> 00:24:00.039
 and this didn't

00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:00.519
 actually have

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:01.459
 super big

00:24:01.459 --> 00:24:02.319
 social ramifications,

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:03.699
 by 1980,

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:04.639
 that's 20 years,

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.839
 80% of women

00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:07.939
 who were adults

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.960
 had been

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.620
 on a 19-nor

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:11.720
 at some point.

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:12.660
 Okay?

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:14.120
 A vast majority

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.680
 of women,

00:24:15.100 --> 00:24:16.980
 80% of women

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:17.880
 by 1980

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:18.680
 who were adults

00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.680
 had been

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.840
 on a 19-nor

00:24:20.840 --> 00:24:22.320
 by that time.

00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:23.500
 So in a 20-year span,

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.140
 almost all women

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:27.259
 had been

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:28.259
 on this kind

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.860
 of birth control.

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:29.539
 Okay?

00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:30.960
 What it caused

00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.279
 is for women

00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:33.400
 to experience

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.059
 a lot

00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:35.259
 of the testosterone

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.860
 benefits

00:24:35.860 --> 00:24:36.720
 and the disposition

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:37.480
 of testosterone

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.539
 as men

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:40.220
 had experienced.

00:24:40.860 --> 00:24:41.700
 I believe

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.259
 this is one

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:43.059
 of the big reasons

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:44.620
 why the sexual revolution

00:24:44.620 --> 00:24:46.360
 also ushered in

00:24:46.360 --> 00:24:47.480
 our second wave

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.000
 of feminism,

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:48.680
 which is like,

00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:49.620
 I'm woman,

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.799
 hear me roar,

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:52.360
 you know,

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:53.880
 I don't need a man,

00:24:54.099 --> 00:24:54.839
 independent woman,

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:55.539
 all of this.

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:55.819
 Okay?

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.360
 It fundamentally

00:24:57.360 --> 00:24:58.500
 crushed

00:24:58.500 --> 00:24:59.519
 the experience

00:24:59.519 --> 00:24:59.900
 of women

00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:01.059
 as having

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:02.339
 this indispensable

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:03.000
 relationship

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.559
 with man

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.500
 where she

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:05.299
 was tied

00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:06.200
 into this

00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.740
 dance

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.859
 with masculinity

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.740
 where femininity

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:11.000
 was inseparable

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.799
 from masculinity.

00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:12.419
 Okay?

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:13.879
 So,

00:25:14.879 --> 00:25:16.319
 coming up to today,

00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.039
 modern day

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.319
 is,

00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:20.899
 because of the

00:25:20.899 --> 00:25:21.799
 ramifications of this,

00:25:21.879 --> 00:25:22.379
 it's actually

00:25:22.379 --> 00:25:24.519
 not the mainline

00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:25.279
 treatment for women

00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:26.119
 who are seeking

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:28.099
 for birth control.

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:29.460
 It's actually minority.

00:25:29.460 --> 00:25:30.500
 but one of the

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:31.579
 ramifications has been

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:32.880
 is there's a lot

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:33.920
 of cultural perspective

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.880
 of women speaking

00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:35.960
 from their real experience.

00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:36.980
 They really feel like

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.720
 they don't need a man

00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:38.519
 and all this stuff.

00:25:38.600 --> 00:25:39.480
 They've entered the workforce,

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:40.700
 all these things.

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.079
 But,

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:44.019
 it actually was enough,

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.700
 in my opinion,

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:46.420
 to really question

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:48.620
 a lot of women's need

00:25:48.620 --> 00:25:50.340
 for the beautiful dance

00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:51.140
 that is femininity

00:25:51.140 --> 00:25:51.620
 and masculinity.

00:25:52.340 --> 00:25:52.500
 Okay?

00:25:53.100 --> 00:25:53.539
 Now,

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:54.819
 the other thing

00:25:54.819 --> 00:25:55.519
 that was discovered

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:57.019
 in the 60s

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:58.339
 was our ability

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:59.579
 to test men's

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.400
 testosterone levels.

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.160
 And what we discovered

00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:01.740
 around that time

00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:03.079
 is the average testosterone

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:03.799
 level in men

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.720
 was about 700 nanograms

00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:06.200
 per deciliter.

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.039
 Okay?

00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:07.180
 So,

00:26:07.259 --> 00:26:09.160
 we are about 60 years

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.779
 removed from there.

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:10.960
 Currently,

00:26:11.420 --> 00:26:12.279
 the average testosterone

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.559
 levels in America,

00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:16.059
 this is where,

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:16.400
 like,

00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:17.460
 so it's about 700

00:26:17.460 --> 00:26:18.220
 in America

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:19.339
 in the 60s.

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:20.559
 Currently,

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.480
 2020s,

00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:23.579
 the average testosterone

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:24.240
 level in men

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:25.740
 is about 440.

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:27.640
 So,

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:29.299
 the average man

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:29.799
 in America

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.960
 would need to increase

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:31.620
 his testosterone

00:26:31.620 --> 00:26:32.559
 by a little bit

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.319
 over 50%

00:26:34.319 --> 00:26:35.400
 in order

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:36.500
 to have

00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:37.259
 the same

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:38.400
 androgenic activity

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:40.259
 as what

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:40.920
 his grandpa

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.359
 had

00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:42.620
 back in 1960.

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.519
 So,

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:44.160
 since then,

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:45.180
 what's happened

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:47.359
 is a huge decline

00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:48.160
 in some of these

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.420
 really distinct

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:50.500
 sex steroid

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.440
 hormone characteristics

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:52.759
 that really make men,

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:53.700
 you know,

00:26:53.779 --> 00:26:54.400
 we're not little boys

00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.120
 and little girls anymore.

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.399
 we're really different

00:26:56.399 --> 00:26:57.399
 because we're post-puberty

00:26:57.399 --> 00:26:58.739
 has really

00:26:58.739 --> 00:27:01.019
 watered down

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:01.879
 some of the

00:27:01.879 --> 00:27:03.219
 real strong distinctions

00:27:03.219 --> 00:27:04.539
 that you would anticipate

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:04.979
 for men

00:27:04.979 --> 00:27:05.719
 and probably could have

00:27:05.719 --> 00:27:06.559
 experienced for men

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:07.539
 back in the 1960s

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:08.179
 and wouldn't even have

00:27:08.179 --> 00:27:09.019
 to have a huge argument

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.319
 about it

00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:09.739
 because it would have been

00:27:09.739 --> 00:27:10.019
 really,

00:27:10.239 --> 00:27:10.719
 really evident.

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:11.439
 Right?

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:14.239
 Sorry,

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:14.559
 I'm just checking

00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:14.819
 with that.

00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:16.199
 All right.

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.179
 So,

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:18.319
 up to modern day.

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.519
 There's another question.

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.379
 Why has it dropped

00:27:21.379 --> 00:27:21.859
 so much?

00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:23.539
 Really,

00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:24.480
 I would say,

00:27:24.660 --> 00:27:25.299
 in essence,

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:27.639
 really two main reasons.

00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:29.680
 Men,

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:31.379
 we primarily

00:27:31.379 --> 00:27:32.299
 work inside

00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:33.619
 sitting all day.

00:27:35.299 --> 00:27:35.900
 We

00:27:35.900 --> 00:27:37.639
 eat too much,

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:39.400
 work physically

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:39.940
 too little.

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:40.960
 If you look

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.440
 at the

00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:42.559
 obesity rates

00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:43.720
 between

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:45.940
 1960

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.700
 and today,

00:27:47.340 --> 00:27:48.039
 obesity rates

00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.580
 went from

00:27:48.580 --> 00:27:49.539
 10% of men

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:50.180
 in the United States

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:51.059
 were obese

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:51.640
 back in

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:53.100
 1960.

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:54.660
 They're at

00:27:54.660 --> 00:27:55.840
 40% today.

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:58.440
 The rate of diabetes

00:27:58.440 --> 00:27:59.700
 went from

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.980
 2% of the population

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:02.759
 to 13%.

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:04.600
 What I would say,

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:05.840
 nerding out

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:06.440
 about this stuff,

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:07.519
 is the real

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:08.380
 two fundamental

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:08.940
 things

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:10.200
 that are,

00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.660
 like you can

00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:11.480
 empirically test,

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.820
 are that men

00:28:12.820 --> 00:28:14.980
 are way more

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.799
 insulin resistant

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:17.839
 and way more

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.299
 overweight,

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.299
 fundamentally.

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:20.480
 You'd ask,

00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:21.720
 why is that?

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:23.879
 A vast majority

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:24.259
 of that

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:24.919
 is because

00:28:24.919 --> 00:28:25.960
 we don't work

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.259
 outside.

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.240
 I would say

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:27.819
 a vast majority

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:28.059
 of that

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.619
 is we don't

00:28:28.619 --> 00:28:29.119
 work outside,

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:29.960
 for the most

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:30.159
 part.

00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.419
 The other

00:28:32.419 --> 00:28:33.019
 thing is

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:35.859
 we live

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:36.940
 too indulgent

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:37.220
 at all.

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.460
 That's really

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:38.799
 what it comes

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.079
 down to.

00:28:42.419 --> 00:28:43.099
 Try not to

00:28:43.099 --> 00:28:43.579
 get too much

00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:43.940
 in the weeds

00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:44.299
 about some

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.779
 of this stuff,

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:46.720
 but one

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.079
 of the things

00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:47.740
 that happens

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:49.839
 insofar as

00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:50.279
 our bodies

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.859
 are concerned,

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:51.700
 the Lord

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.279
 really designed

00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:52.720
 our bodies

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:54.240
 to work

00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:54.639
 physically.

00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.680
 As a result,

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:58.180
 what happens

00:28:58.180 --> 00:28:58.799
 is we get

00:28:58.799 --> 00:28:59.660
 gradually more

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:00.019
 and more

00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:01.079
 insulin resistant,

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.779
 which I think

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:02.240
 the best way

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:02.619
 to think of

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:03.440
 insulin resistance

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.779
 is when you

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:05.399
 eat carbs,

00:29:06.399 --> 00:29:07.079
 it turns

00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:07.519
 into fat

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:08.899
 versus

00:29:08.899 --> 00:29:10.299
 your kid,

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:10.759
 you give

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.819
 your kid

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:12.379
 a candy bar,

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:12.879
 they're bouncing

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:13.360
 off the walls,

00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:14.780
 you eat

00:29:14.780 --> 00:29:15.240
 some pasta,

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:15.840
 and you go

00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:16.240
 into a food

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:16.440
 coma.

00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:17.760
 That's called

00:29:17.760 --> 00:29:19.240
 insulin sensitivity.

00:29:20.800 --> 00:29:21.680
 If you

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.100
 work with

00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:23.580
 your body

00:29:23.580 --> 00:29:24.080
 regularly,

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.580
 you break a

00:29:24.580 --> 00:29:25.220
 sweat regularly,

00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:25.980
 when you eat

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.360
 carbs,

00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:27.260
 you are getting

00:29:27.260 --> 00:29:27.720
 jet fuel,

00:29:28.040 --> 00:29:28.760
 you have a lot

00:29:28.760 --> 00:29:29.300
 more energy.

00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:31.000
 When you eat

00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.400
 carbs,

00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:32.120
 and you are

00:29:32.120 --> 00:29:32.740
 sitting all the

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:32.980
 time,

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:33.980
 your body

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:34.300
 doesn't know

00:29:34.300 --> 00:29:34.540
 what to do

00:29:34.540 --> 00:29:34.840
 with it,

00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:36.020
 and your

00:29:36.020 --> 00:29:36.440
 insulin

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:38.320
 moves that

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:39.319
 fat.

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:41.559
 Also,

00:29:41.879 --> 00:29:42.720
 as you get

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.299
 more obese,

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:43.859
 you have

00:29:43.859 --> 00:29:44.299
 more of an

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:45.159
 enzyme that's

00:29:45.159 --> 00:29:45.480
 called

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.159
 aromatase.

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.759
 Aromatase

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.220
 converts

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:47.980
 testosterone

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:48.659
 to estrogen.

00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:50.099
 Again,

00:29:50.399 --> 00:29:50.659
 guys,

00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:51.119
 I'm sorry,

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:51.819
 this is a lot

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:52.359
 of biology,

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.079
 but I think

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.379
 these things

00:29:53.379 --> 00:29:53.659
 are really

00:29:53.659 --> 00:29:54.019
 relevant.

00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:56.179
 Thank you,

00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:56.379
 thank you,

00:29:56.399 --> 00:29:56.539
 Jacob.

00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:57.599
 I don't want

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:57.919
 to hear that.

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:00.639
 Thanks,

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:00.819
 man.

00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:02.019
 He's the only

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:02.519
 person here

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:02.939
 with a medical

00:30:02.939 --> 00:30:03.299
 license,

00:30:03.379 --> 00:30:03.720
 by the way.

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:06.419
 Okay,

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.759
 basically what

00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.500
 happens is,

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.200
 as we get

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.879
 more overweight,

00:30:10.619 --> 00:30:11.599
 men convert

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.379
 more testosterone

00:30:12.379 --> 00:30:12.960
 to estrogen.

00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.680
 Also,

00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:15.440
 as we get

00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:16.240
 more insulin

00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:16.680
 resistant,

00:30:16.900 --> 00:30:17.180
 again,

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.859
 relationship to

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.099
 carbs,

00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:18.859
 what happens

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:19.240
 when you eat

00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.480
 pasta,

00:30:19.660 --> 00:30:20.539
 the ultimate

00:30:20.539 --> 00:30:20.980
 test of

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.519
 insulin resistance

00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:21.920
 is what

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.299
 happens when

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:22.500
 you eat

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:22.740
 pasta.

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.259
 Okay?

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.240
 When you're

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:26.799
 more insulin

00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.240
 resistant,

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:28.059
 your body

00:30:28.059 --> 00:30:29.279
 produces less

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:30.059
 sex steroid

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.420
 hormones,

00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:31.359
 your total

00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:31.759
 production

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.240
 decreases,

00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:32.960
 and when

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:33.259
 you're more

00:30:33.259 --> 00:30:33.799
 obese,

00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:34.740
 your body

00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:35.660
 converts more

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.079
 of that to

00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:36.379
 estrogen.

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:37.600
 I would

00:30:37.600 --> 00:30:37.960
 say,

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:40.180
 if I could

00:30:40.180 --> 00:30:40.660
 get every

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:41.360
 single man

00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:41.860
 in the United

00:30:41.860 --> 00:30:43.140
 States to

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:43.660
 reverse those

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:44.120
 two things,

00:30:44.260 --> 00:30:44.820
 I would bet

00:30:44.820 --> 00:30:45.220
 that we get

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:46.060
 really close to

00:30:46.060 --> 00:30:46.520
 the 700

00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:47.020
 nanograms

00:30:47.020 --> 00:30:47.460
 for deciliter

00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:47.900
 that we were

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:48.480
 in 1960.

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:49.280
 Just that

00:30:49.280 --> 00:30:49.520
 alone.

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:50.000
 Okay?

00:30:51.280 --> 00:30:51.640
 So,

00:30:51.820 --> 00:30:52.220
 fast forward

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.580
 to modern

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:52.820
 day.

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.380
 Me and my

00:30:54.380 --> 00:30:54.640
 wife,

00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:55.520
 we help a lot

00:30:55.520 --> 00:30:55.880
 of people with

00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:56.260
 fertility.

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:56.720
 She's about

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:56.960
 to become

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:57.360
 midwife.

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:58.080
 I'm a nerd

00:30:58.080 --> 00:30:58.440
 about these

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:58.720
 things.

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.100
 So,

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.400
 we have a lot

00:30:59.400 --> 00:30:59.740
 of couples

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.200
 that will send

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:00.540
 her blood

00:31:00.540 --> 00:31:00.980
 work to both

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.260
 of us.

00:31:01.540 --> 00:31:01.760
 One of the

00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:02.340
 things I see

00:31:02.340 --> 00:31:03.960
 way more,

00:31:04.120 --> 00:31:04.500
 it actually

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:05.020
 breaks my heart,

00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:05.339
 is actually

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:05.740
 really sad.

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.819
 There's a lot

00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:12.240
 of people who

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:12.599
 are trying to

00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:13.000
 get pregnant

00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:14.279
 and they have

00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:15.059
 no clue what's

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:15.519
 going on.

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.220
 And a lot

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.660
 of it is this

00:31:16.660 --> 00:31:16.900
 stuff.

00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:18.339
 We have people

00:31:18.339 --> 00:31:18.759
 who send

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:19.180
 her blood

00:31:19.180 --> 00:31:19.960
 work and

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.200
 we're just

00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:20.559
 helping out

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:20.900
 as friends.

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:22.720
 And the

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:23.180
 guy's blood

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.519
 work comes

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.139
 back and

00:31:24.139 --> 00:31:24.660
 his testosterone

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:25.440
 is like 200.

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.960
 This is

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.480
 really,

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:27.860
 really

00:31:27.860 --> 00:31:28.220
 freaking

00:31:28.220 --> 00:31:28.460
 low.

00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:30.180
 And he's

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:31.259
 obese and

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.660
 he's insulin

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:32.019
 resistant.

00:31:32.360 --> 00:31:32.779
 He's almost

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:33.080
 diabetic.

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:34.180
 And then the

00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:34.600
 wife sends

00:31:34.600 --> 00:31:34.860
 in her

00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:35.299
 blood work

00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:36.340
 her testosterone

00:31:36.340 --> 00:31:37.840
 at like 130.

00:31:38.600 --> 00:31:39.380
 Her testosterone

00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:39.920
 is supposed to

00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:40.820
 be like below

00:31:40.820 --> 00:31:41.759
 16 nanograms

00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:42.220
 per deciliter.

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:42.980
 He should

00:31:42.980 --> 00:31:43.420
 have 10

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:43.940
 times as high

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.360
 testosterone

00:31:44.360 --> 00:31:44.860
 as she does.

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:45.580
 Why is that

00:31:45.580 --> 00:31:45.860
 happening?

00:31:46.320 --> 00:31:47.380
 Well, for

00:31:47.380 --> 00:31:48.340
 women, when

00:31:48.340 --> 00:31:48.720
 they get

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.320
 insulin resistant

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:49.860
 just like we

00:31:49.860 --> 00:31:50.500
 are, they

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:51.460
 cause them

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:51.820
 to crash.

00:31:51.819 --> 00:31:54.059
 What happens

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:55.079
 is in their

00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:56.299
 ovaries, they

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:56.839
 have insulin

00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:57.319
 receptors.

00:31:57.659 --> 00:31:57.939
 When those

00:31:57.939 --> 00:31:58.659
 insulin receptors

00:31:58.659 --> 00:31:59.259
 are overly

00:31:59.259 --> 00:31:59.919
 active, it

00:31:59.919 --> 00:32:00.480
 causes them to

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.059
 produce more

00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:01.519
 testosterone.

00:32:02.059 --> 00:32:02.339
 When they

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.939
 produce more

00:32:02.939 --> 00:32:04.119
 testosterone, it

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:05.079
 causes them to

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:05.899
 become infertile.

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:07.139
 And it causes

00:32:07.139 --> 00:32:07.700
 them to feel

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:08.939
 much less like

00:32:08.939 --> 00:32:09.279
 a woman.

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.279
 So one of the

00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:10.899
 things we are

00:32:10.899 --> 00:32:11.359
 fighting in the

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:11.559
 state and

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:11.879
 nation, this is

00:32:11.879 --> 00:32:12.200
 what I want you

00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:12.679
 guys to hear.

00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:13.980
 This is not

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:14.859
 all about the

00:32:14.859 --> 00:32:15.819
 culture war of

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:16.579
 belief systems.

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:18.220
 I really believe

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:18.759
 that a lot of

00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:19.279
 people are having

00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:19.859
 some really,

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:20.359
 really difficult

00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:21.059
 experiences they

00:32:21.059 --> 00:32:21.460
 don't know how

00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:22.059
 to explain it.

00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:22.539
 Okay?

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.620
 A lot of

00:32:23.620 --> 00:32:24.700
 these women do

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.620
 not feel like

00:32:25.620 --> 00:32:25.860
 women.

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:26.819
 Okay?

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:28.319
 And if you look

00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:28.660
 at their blood

00:32:28.660 --> 00:32:29.360
 work, their

00:32:29.360 --> 00:32:29.960
 testosterone is

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.420
 almost the same

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:30.620
 as their

00:32:30.620 --> 00:32:30.900
 husband.

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.880
 And those

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.100
 husbands probably

00:32:33.100 --> 00:32:33.799
 don't feel very

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.460
 much like men.

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.600
 Seriously, they

00:32:36.600 --> 00:32:37.360
 do not feel very

00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:37.920
 much like men.

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.180
 And who could

00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:39.620
 blame them?

00:32:40.140 --> 00:32:40.720
 I can see your

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.340
 blood work and I

00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:41.759
 can tell you you

00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:42.140
 probably don't

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:43.079
 feel very much

00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:43.500
 like a man.

00:32:44.019 --> 00:32:44.600
 Why is that?

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.200
 Because he's

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.799
 overweight and he's

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:47.420
 really insulin

00:32:47.420 --> 00:32:47.840
 resistant.

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.299
 Okay?

00:32:48.840 --> 00:32:49.420
 It's a very sad

00:32:49.420 --> 00:32:49.640
 thing.

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.240
 It's a very sad

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.460
 thing.

00:32:50.539 --> 00:32:51.220
 But a lot of

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:51.600
 people don't

00:32:51.600 --> 00:32:52.259
 even know how

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:52.680
 these things

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:53.360
 connect and what

00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:53.799
 we're actually

00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:54.440
 arguing about.

00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:55.000
 Okay?

00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:56.519
 I say all that

00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.620
 to say, I think

00:32:58.620 --> 00:33:01.039
 that one of the

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:02.500
 points that I

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:02.860
 want to get

00:33:02.860 --> 00:33:04.720
 across is that

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.460
 we live in a

00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:08.079
 day and age

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:09.299
 where we can

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:10.299
 indulge endlessly.

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:11.059
 Okay?

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.700
 We can get home

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.059
 from work.

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.140
 We can scroll

00:33:13.140 --> 00:33:13.839
 endlessly on our

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:14.100
 phones.

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:15.600
 I'm not going to

00:33:15.600 --> 00:33:16.079
 make you guys do

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:16.579
 this right now.

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:17.220
 But if you want

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:17.460
 to know what

00:33:17.460 --> 00:33:18.059
 the culprit is,

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:19.059
 just pull out

00:33:19.059 --> 00:33:19.399
 your phone,

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:20.179
 check screen

00:33:20.179 --> 00:33:20.439
 time.

00:33:21.639 --> 00:33:22.259
 You know, we

00:33:22.259 --> 00:33:22.519
 get on our

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:22.799
 phones, we

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.359
 scroll endlessly.

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:24.759
 Instead of going

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:25.139
 outside and

00:33:25.139 --> 00:33:25.539
 playing with our

00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:26.279
 kids, we just

00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:26.740
 watch Netflix

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:28.240
 with them, etc.,

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.439
 etc.

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:30.319
 When we're

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:30.960
 needing to grab

00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:31.839
 lunch, we just

00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:32.539
 go grab fast

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:33.439
 food, eat a bunch

00:33:33.439 --> 00:33:33.939
 of junk food.

00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:34.799
 There's a real

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.259
 extent to which we

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:37.319
 are the most

00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:38.379
 self-indulgent

00:33:38.379 --> 00:33:39.159
 generation that's

00:33:39.159 --> 00:33:40.259
 ever existed and

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:40.980
 we are reaping the

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:41.919
 consequences on a

00:33:41.919 --> 00:33:42.359
 health level.

00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.259
 Our bodies don't

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:45.000
 work as well as

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:46.479
 they did just 60

00:33:46.479 --> 00:33:46.939
 years ago.

00:33:48.139 --> 00:33:48.979
 Now, I want to

00:33:48.979 --> 00:33:50.699
 pivot for a second

00:33:50.699 --> 00:33:51.139
 because I'm

00:33:51.139 --> 00:33:51.719
 realizing I didn't

00:33:51.719 --> 00:33:52.179
 cover a couple

00:33:52.179 --> 00:33:52.459
 things.

00:33:52.659 --> 00:33:53.240
 I really want to

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:54.379
 go over a couple

00:33:54.379 --> 00:33:55.899
 of distinctions

00:33:55.899 --> 00:33:57.479
 as far as

00:33:57.479 --> 00:34:00.439
 when we get

00:34:00.439 --> 00:34:00.939
 these things

00:34:00.939 --> 00:34:03.479
 right, there are

00:34:03.479 --> 00:34:04.379
 things that happen

00:34:04.379 --> 00:34:05.859
 that make women

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:07.299
 feel more like

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:08.119
 women and I

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:08.480
 think these are

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:09.000
 some things that

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:09.420
 we should take

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:09.920
 really seriously

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.279
 as men.

00:34:11.279 --> 00:34:11.859
 One of the

00:34:11.859 --> 00:34:12.219
 things that

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:12.739
 happens for

00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:13.559
 women is they

00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:13.879
 have these

00:34:13.879 --> 00:34:15.039
 elevated oxytocin

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.359
 levels.

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:17.159
 The more

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:17.459
 emotionally

00:34:17.459 --> 00:34:17.739
 attuned.

00:34:17.879 --> 00:34:18.539
 It's a stereotype,

00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:19.159
 it's a true

00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:19.599
 stereotype.

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.359
 One of the

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.259
 things that is

00:34:23.259 --> 00:34:23.980
 an epidemic in

00:34:23.980 --> 00:34:24.359
 this day and

00:34:24.359 --> 00:34:25.919
 age is women

00:34:25.919 --> 00:34:27.679
 who feel like

00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:28.119
 they have no

00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:28.719
 need of a man

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:29.919
 and like even

00:34:29.919 --> 00:34:30.480
 these single

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.179
 moms or even

00:34:31.179 --> 00:34:32.519
 these matriarchs

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:33.359
 of homes and

00:34:33.359 --> 00:34:33.919
 maybe some of

00:34:33.919 --> 00:34:34.480
 you are married

00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:34.899
 to a woman

00:34:34.899 --> 00:34:35.219
 where it's

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:35.679
 actually really

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.539
 hard and you

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:36.839
 need to feel

00:34:36.839 --> 00:34:37.739
 like you are

00:34:37.739 --> 00:34:38.859
 the owner of

00:34:38.859 --> 00:34:39.179
 your home.

00:34:39.259 --> 00:34:39.619
 You feel more

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:40.279
 like an employee

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:40.799
 in your home.

00:34:41.399 --> 00:34:41.659
 So when I

00:34:41.659 --> 00:34:42.159
 say something,

00:34:42.279 --> 00:34:42.599
 I hope this

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:42.859
 gives you

00:34:42.859 --> 00:34:43.219
 really good

00:34:43.219 --> 00:34:43.759
 conviction because

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.519
 scripture has a

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.079
 lot to say on

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.279
 this.

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.960
 Women only

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:49.119
 overproduce

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:51.099
 vasopressin under

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:52.019
 one circumstance.

00:34:52.879 --> 00:34:53.859
 Vasopressin causes

00:34:53.859 --> 00:34:54.519
 you to assign

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:55.279
 ownership and

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:55.879
 protect things.

00:34:55.879 --> 00:34:56.239
 Okay?

00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:58.920
 Women only

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.579
 elevate

00:34:59.579 --> 00:35:01.559
 vasopressin when

00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:02.480
 their cortisol,

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.199
 their stress and

00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:04.779
 fear hormone,

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:05.460
 is elevated.

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:06.779
 So one of the

00:35:06.779 --> 00:35:07.119
 things that

00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:07.879
 happens, I see

00:35:07.879 --> 00:35:08.379
 this all the

00:35:08.379 --> 00:35:09.239
 time, didn't

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:09.959
 understand this

00:35:09.959 --> 00:35:11.319
 on a biological

00:35:11.319 --> 00:35:12.000
 level to more

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.719
 recently, but I've

00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:13.219
 seen this my

00:35:13.219 --> 00:35:13.659
 whole entire

00:35:13.659 --> 00:35:15.019
 life, is that

00:35:15.019 --> 00:35:15.619
 you see these

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:18.519
 women who, let's

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:18.919
 say, are

00:35:18.919 --> 00:35:19.899
 abandoned or

00:35:19.899 --> 00:35:21.139
 just are jaded

00:35:21.139 --> 00:35:23.819
 and they are,

00:35:23.959 --> 00:35:24.599
 let's say, the

00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:25.099
 matriarch.

00:35:25.459 --> 00:35:25.559
 Okay?

00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:29.399
 This woman has

00:35:29.399 --> 00:35:30.799
 this elevated

00:35:30.799 --> 00:35:31.939
 cortisol, so it's

00:35:31.939 --> 00:35:32.879
 driven by fear and

00:35:32.879 --> 00:35:33.299
 anxiety.

00:35:33.799 --> 00:35:35.079
 It crushes their

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:36.659
 oxytocin and it

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.139
 crushes their

00:35:37.139 --> 00:35:37.759
 estrogen.

00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.319
 What's happening

00:35:39.319 --> 00:35:41.119
 there is she

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.839
 is having maybe

00:35:42.839 --> 00:35:43.259
 more of a

00:35:43.259 --> 00:35:43.839
 disposition for

00:35:43.839 --> 00:35:45.159
 responsibility and

00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:46.319
 she is feisty and

00:35:46.319 --> 00:35:46.719
 fights about

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.779
 everything, but

00:35:47.779 --> 00:35:48.500
 it's actually

00:35:48.500 --> 00:35:51.519
 because she is

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:52.599
 losing her

00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:53.759
 femininity as a

00:35:53.759 --> 00:35:55.219
 result of

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:59.259
 giving in to

00:35:59.259 --> 00:36:00.719
 a role that she

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:01.199
 was not made

00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:01.420
 for.

00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:02.599
 The Lord

00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:03.719
 designed men,

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:04.440
 again,

00:36:04.879 --> 00:36:05.299
 testosterone

00:36:05.299 --> 00:36:05.920
 opposes

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.379
 cortisol,

00:36:06.380 --> 00:36:08.420
 men have an

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:09.500
 ability to

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:10.400
 have elevated

00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:11.380
 testosterone,

00:36:12.160 --> 00:36:12.720
 they're able to

00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:13.680
 experience fear

00:36:13.680 --> 00:36:14.200
 and navigate

00:36:14.200 --> 00:36:16.400
 fear without

00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:18.820
 having, or

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.380
 they're able to

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:20.000
 experience

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:20.840
 conflict and

00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.579
 navigate conflict

00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:22.380
 and even exert

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:23.900
 authority without

00:36:23.900 --> 00:36:25.440
 having it

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.000
 elevate their

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.720
 fear of life.

00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:28.180
 Okay?

00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:28.760
 This is actually

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:29.280
 one of the main

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:30.160
 reasons I

00:36:30.160 --> 00:36:30.680
 actually think

00:36:30.680 --> 00:36:32.220
 that there is

00:36:32.220 --> 00:36:34.360
 confusion in our

00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:34.880
 culture in this

00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:35.340
 day and age

00:36:35.340 --> 00:36:36.920
 about whether

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.980
 or not women

00:36:37.980 --> 00:36:38.900
 should be in

00:36:38.900 --> 00:36:39.500
 these primary

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:40.099
 positions of

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:40.660
 authority, let's

00:36:40.660 --> 00:36:41.220
 say president of

00:36:41.220 --> 00:36:41.660
 the United States,

00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:42.120
 let's say a

00:36:42.120 --> 00:36:42.620
 general in the

00:36:42.620 --> 00:36:43.220
 military, let's

00:36:43.220 --> 00:36:44.400
 say even in

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:44.860
 charge of their

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.300
 own home.

00:36:46.300 --> 00:36:47.760
 Women are not

00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:49.140
 designed for

00:36:49.140 --> 00:36:49.800
 positions of

00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:50.840
 authority that

00:36:50.840 --> 00:36:51.760
 necessitate high

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:52.200
 conflict.

00:36:52.579 --> 00:36:53.079
 They're literally

00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:53.740
 not designed for

00:36:53.740 --> 00:36:53.860
 it.

00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:55.240
 What will happen

00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:56.200
 is it will

00:36:56.200 --> 00:36:57.360
 crush their

00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:58.160
 femininity, and

00:36:58.160 --> 00:36:58.559
 this is what we

00:36:58.559 --> 00:36:59.039
 see in women.

00:37:00.140 --> 00:37:01.360
 Men are designed

00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:01.700
 for those

00:37:01.700 --> 00:37:02.120
 positions.

00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:02.920
 Okay?

00:37:03.180 --> 00:37:03.960
 Men are meant

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.440
 to protect.

00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:05.620
 Men are meant

00:37:05.620 --> 00:37:06.559
 to own, right?

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:11.320
 So, basically, my

00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:12.420
 perspective that

00:37:12.420 --> 00:37:13.820
 there is, you

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.760
 know, this whole

00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:15.740
 natural development,

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:16.840
 but then also

00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:17.480
 there's this kind

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.099
 of interesting

00:37:18.099 --> 00:37:19.039
 historical development,

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:20.180
 and then one last

00:37:20.180 --> 00:37:20.640
 thing I just want

00:37:20.640 --> 00:37:21.019
 to say about the

00:37:21.019 --> 00:37:21.680
 historical development,

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:22.820
 I think there is,

00:37:23.120 --> 00:37:24.039
 as a result of

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:24.640
 kind of where

00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:26.579
 things are concerning

00:37:26.579 --> 00:37:27.720
 these topics, a

00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:28.340
 real confusion,

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:29.240
 especially about

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:30.220
 Gen Z coming up.

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:31.240
 So Gen Z, we

00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:32.059
 think our obesity

00:37:32.059 --> 00:37:32.819
 rates are bad, and

00:37:32.819 --> 00:37:34.059
 our pre-diabetic

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:34.659
 rates are bad.

00:37:34.879 --> 00:37:35.839
 It's way worse

00:37:35.839 --> 00:37:36.939
 for Gen Z, okay?

00:37:37.459 --> 00:37:38.019
 These kids are

00:37:38.019 --> 00:37:38.899
 just a bunch of

00:37:38.899 --> 00:37:39.579
 screen kids.

00:37:39.779 --> 00:37:40.379
 They're eating

00:37:40.379 --> 00:37:40.839
 bad food.

00:37:40.939 --> 00:37:41.979
 Like, I'm trying

00:37:41.979 --> 00:37:42.619
 to think how

00:37:42.619 --> 00:37:43.000
 to say this.

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:44.419
 The average

00:37:44.419 --> 00:37:46.859
 adult male, 40%

00:37:46.859 --> 00:37:49.359
 obese, 13%

00:37:49.359 --> 00:37:51.019
 diabetic, the

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:51.899
 trajectory that

00:37:51.899 --> 00:37:52.759
 Gen Z is on is

00:37:52.759 --> 00:37:53.839
 way, way worse.

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.419
 So one of the

00:37:54.419 --> 00:37:54.719
 things that's

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.199
 happening for

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:55.719
 these kids as

00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:55.959
 they're going

00:37:55.959 --> 00:37:57.299
 through puberty is

00:37:57.299 --> 00:37:58.199
 they end up in

00:37:58.199 --> 00:37:58.939
 this hormonal

00:37:58.939 --> 00:38:00.119
 purgatory, okay?

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:01.759
 So what

00:38:01.759 --> 00:38:02.119
 happens?

00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:03.019
 They don't quite

00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:03.539
 feel like a

00:38:03.539 --> 00:38:03.799
 woman.

00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:04.460
 They don't quite

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.880
 feel like a

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:05.039
 man.

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:05.980
 So then what

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:06.319
 happens?

00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.440
 Pharmaceuticals

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:08.579
 come along, and

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:10.039
 now, what if

00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:10.960
 you're really a

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:11.619
 woman trapped in

00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:12.119
 an ant's body,

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:12.759
 okay?

00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:14.099
 So now what we're

00:38:14.099 --> 00:38:15.059
 going to do, we're

00:38:15.059 --> 00:38:15.920
 going to put you on

00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:17.359
 a dose of

00:38:17.359 --> 00:38:18.739
 testosterone and

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:19.380
 an aromatase

00:38:19.380 --> 00:38:20.000
 inhibitor that's going

00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:20.500
 to prevent your

00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:21.139
 testosterone from

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:21.859
 over-converting to

00:38:21.859 --> 00:38:22.099
 estrogen.

00:38:22.779 --> 00:38:23.440
 What's going to

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:23.659
 happen?

00:38:23.659 --> 00:38:26.099
 You, woman, who

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:26.679
 feels like you're

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:27.339
 in hormonal

00:38:27.339 --> 00:38:28.679
 purgatory, are

00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:29.500
 now going to

00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:31.000
 feel approximately

00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:33.179
 like what ballpark

00:38:33.179 --> 00:38:33.980
 of a healthy male

00:38:33.980 --> 00:38:35.579
 would feel, and it

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:36.719
 feels a whole lot

00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:37.440
 better than what

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:38.299
 you were experiencing.

00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:39.980
 Now your friends

00:38:39.980 --> 00:38:41.379
 are really confused,

00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:42.000
 floating in

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:42.960
 nothingness, and

00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:43.420
 you're going to

00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:43.779
 preach the

00:38:43.779 --> 00:38:44.119
 gospel.

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:45.779
 You've got to

00:38:45.779 --> 00:38:46.879
 get on HRT.

00:38:47.379 --> 00:38:49.519
 You're really a

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:49.839
 man.

00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:50.719
 You're not really a

00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:51.460
 woman, and vice

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:51.699
 versa.

00:38:51.699 --> 00:38:52.579
 So what's

00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:53.659
 happening is, in

00:38:53.659 --> 00:38:55.339
 my opinion, a

00:38:55.339 --> 00:38:56.079
 lot of this kind

00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:57.980
 of like bullshit

00:38:57.980 --> 00:38:59.239
 pharmaceutical therapy

00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.039
 is just making the

00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:01.939
 landscape even more

00:39:01.939 --> 00:39:02.899
 confusing, if that

00:39:02.899 --> 00:39:03.299
 makes sense.

00:39:04.219 --> 00:39:05.599
 So from my

00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:07.119
 perspective, I

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:07.939
 actually believe

00:39:07.939 --> 00:39:10.239
 that men are

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:11.879
 men, women are

00:39:11.879 --> 00:39:12.960
 women, and a

00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:13.879
 lot of these

00:39:13.879 --> 00:39:14.980
 distinctions, a

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:16.099
 lot of this dance

00:39:16.099 --> 00:39:17.259
 needs to be

00:39:17.259 --> 00:39:18.159
 facilitated and

00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:19.000
 called out, and

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:20.159
 even people should

00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.879
 rise to, I think

00:39:20.879 --> 00:39:21.619
 men should rise to

00:39:21.619 --> 00:39:22.659
 the occasion, and

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:23.239
 actually kind of

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:23.779
 address these

00:39:23.779 --> 00:39:25.119
 things not

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.799
 through cheat

00:39:25.799 --> 00:39:26.839
 codes, but

00:39:26.839 --> 00:39:27.420
 actually through

00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:28.799
 the practices of

00:39:28.799 --> 00:39:29.079
 life.

00:39:29.219 --> 00:39:29.519
 You know what I

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:29.659
 mean?

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.099


00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.099


00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.099


00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.099
 You know what I

00:39:30.099 --> 00:39:30.239
 need to do.
