Hi, I'm Dr.
Johnny.
Thanks for joining me today.
Would you like to have better skin, less fine lines and wrinkles as a side
effect, better hair growth, more energy, better sleep, less cellulite, overall
feeling of wellbeing increased libido.
And more today, I'm talking about just that and how you can do it all.
Naturally, this came up because last week we did a video, I talked about
lower face aging versus upper face highlighting the fact that a lot of
women come into my clinic and they have lower face aging, fine lines lines
around the lips, smokers lines, they call them, but they've never smoked before.
And they're wondering why in the comment section.
Why doesn't my husband get that?
Why don't men have a aging lower face as well?
So it came up on hormones and I talked about the fact that the
skin and the dermis is thinner, especially as estrogen goes down.
So is there a way that you can naturally reduce that phenomena?
We talked about bone with that one, vitamin the people that are missing.
We talked about K2, but what about thickening?
The dermis.
That's what sculptor does.
It's what biostimulators do.
Platelet rich fibrin.
We inject those.
Not everyone wants injections.
Even if you do get them, why not have them last longer look better?
You need to come in and get them done less.
That's what all this channel is all about.
So that's why this video, and I'm going to dive in and show you
some information of what exactly.
Increasing testosterone will do to the skin.
I'm going to dispel several myths about it because people think it's
a male hormone, and I'm not talking about you having your people,
having to take hormones, but you can naturally increase this many people do.
And what I'm sharing with you is what I see in my clinic, because
how many people come into me, they'll sit down in front of me.
I'm thinking.
They look good.
Maybe they're patients that I've seen before.
Yeah.
Or maybe they're new patients wanting treatments, but I'm
watching the move and articulate.
And when I find that someone looks younger than they should, and maybe, uh,
they have more glow, they have less fine lines given their chronological age.
I ask and I take a history.
I'm looking.
Yeah.
Or have they been on retina?
AEs?
Is it genetic?
Is it hormones?
Are they on bio-identical hormones?
I take all that information.
So today I'm going to share the all natural way to improve those levels.
Let's dive in first to a little bit of science.
So this is an article 2013 a review, and they go through
testosterone therapy and women.
Now this we're talking to you about all natural, but this is.
Talking about supplementing.
I know a lot of people are on pellets.
A lot of people are on bio-identical.
I'm going to go through the natural ways, but we should look and
see if for those that are scared about testosterone, particularly
in women, some of the myths and misconceptions, and they go through 10.
Let's talk about them real quick.
Although testosterone therapy is being increasingly prescribed for men.
There remain many questions and concerns about tea it's often referred
to as tea in particular tea in women, literature search was performed.
We like searches and reviews use cause it brings it all together
into a concise, uh, paper.
They eluded to elucidate the origin scientific basis behind many of
the concerns and assumptions about T therapy, uh, particularly in
women there's 10 common myths and misconceptions T is the most abundant
biologically active female hormone.
Not a lot of people know that T is essential for physical
and mental health in women.
It is not masculinizing.
So a lot of people thought that it was masculinizing, but it's not.
Tea does not cause hoarseness of the voice.
And these are in therapeutic levels.
Of course, excess of anything causes problems to Sasha increases scalp here.
So it doesn't decrease it like a lot of people think it is
cardioprotective paired terrible.
So if you put it in the system, if you inject it particularly, uh, in
the body, Uh, it does not adversely affect the liver or increased clotting
T is actually mood stabilizing and does not increase aggression.
Another common myth tea is actually breast protective and they look at the data for
that and the safety of T therapy in women.
Is under research and being established link all hormones.
And bioidenticals always tell you guys we're very, very early in all of this,
so there's no, it's very hard to study a double blind placebo controlled trial.
That's prospective because human lifespans about call it 80 years.
It's uh, hard to, um, look at whole lifespans.
Because it takes a long time.
So we're very early in it.
Someone asked me, we look, uh, they looked at sedentary, mice,
why are people using mice?
Their lifespan is accelerated.
So, uh, there are many mice that lived, uh, six to 12 weeks so
we can study them a lot easier.
So those are some myths and misconceptions before we even start.
Cause I know.
In the comments section, a lot of people are going to comment and ask me now,
what does this all have to do with skin?
Take it back to that lower face aging thinning of the skin,
the lines around the mouth.
Let's look at this article endocrinology and metabolic syndrome.
2015 and it's a mini review.
Again, we do like review articles because it makes it concise and quick for us.
Yes.
To review a lot of the current data.
So there, his specific impact of steroid home hormones in both sexes,
testosterone, estrogen ratio in males.
And females gives reason for differences in skin thickness and texture.
Just exactly what we're talking about with the lower face.
The male epidermis, for example, is 20% thicker than female epidermis.
Being able to bind a larger amount of.
Moisture.
That's why we use high erotic acids.
It's why we inject it because it binds water.
Moisture takes care of a lot of lines and wrinkles and folds, as we know, and here's
the kicker containing more collagen in all ages, thus making male skin more dense
and Biggers before you all get upset.
Women live 5% longer.
And that's going back looking over a hundred years from the
19 hundreds through to today.
So even though the skin may be thinner and maybe we have to be attuned to
all the things they talk about on this channel for women, maybe a little
more than men sometimes consider you do get extra years of life.
So there's a bonus there.
Um, they talked about P production excess, uh, Too much of anything.
Isn't good.
And of course the male producer, not only having thicker skin, more sebaceous
glands, they produce more oils.
So in a female sometimes if there's too much, yes, hair
growth can occur in the face.
Yes.
Acne can occur.
But today again, and we're diving in right now to five ways to increase
naturally testosterone levels.
But it's important to look at what happens when you put too much in or
what happens when you replace it with.
Oral supplements.
Some people put it on in creams.
Uh, some people, uh, obviously the pellets are big and I want to hear from
you guys comment on what form you're taking, what you like, but these don't
apply to as you, uh, naturally take it.
Like I'm going to talk about today.
And I always like the most natural forms better as you know, but it's good
to see what excess of anything does.
So, you know, what would.
What the data shows and what can get you in trouble on the flip side.
So a lot of beneficial effects, let's go to these five ways
that you can Institute today.
So the first thing to do is not carry excess weight.
Fat cells have an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen.
And if you want a demonstration, this look at men or even young boys that carry fat
and you'll notice they get what man boobs.
And that's because of the conversion to estrogens.
That creates then breast tissue.
So by carrying excess of weight, you in general have a estrogenic state and
estrogen leads to the water retention to more weight gain, to cellulite,
to all the things you don't want.
So keeping your body mass index in check and keeping lean in a sense
keeps you lean because what we say, testosterone, having more towards a
testosterone side keeps lean muscle mass.
Number two is exercise, but not just any exercise.
My video few weeks ago was on wrinkle-free skin in three months.
And that was based on a study where they showed people at exercise
had better skin, better dermis.
It was interleukin Mar uh, mediated.
And in that study, they also took people who were not exercising.
Did skin biopsies.
Exercise, the reevaluate, the skin, they had better skin.
And that was when they did 20 to 30 minutes, three to four times a week.
In this case, if you want testosterone levels to go up,
you need high intensity exercise.
So interval training, bursts of 90 seconds, weight training also does it.
And of course that decreases your fat, which increases
your relative testosterones.
You can see how exercise.
And we're going to talk about the next one diet and foods that can help you all
kind of work together, but in general, important to have that stress to the body
and you see that with fitness people.
And when people come into my clinic and they're lean.
And you ask them what exercise they're doing.
They almost all do some type of high intensity interval exercise.
Number three is diet.
It's important to know.
Cholesterol is the precursor to all of these hormones and
everyone's focused on cholesterol, understanding their six months again,
risk factors for heart disease.
So cholesterol is, but one of them, I personally run a high cholesterol.
But I keep my other risk factors down to none.
And some of them are genetics.
So you need to know your genetic history or your family history.
You can't change them all, but you can de decrease your cardiac risk factors,
but just know cholesterol is not the be all end all it's one factor, but you need
some clothes well to convert them, which brings me to my second part, which is.
Fat, you cannot restrict totally your fat or you'll have low testosterone levels.
So it's important to be mindful of that and know your own level that works for
you, but fat and cholesterol are needed.
Now, what are the things you can take in to improve them?
A lot of people don't like taking milk, but milk does have fat.
And it also has vitamin D, which is important.
I personally, I take oat milk.
So there's many different forms of built that you can take, um, that will meet
the criteria of what you want to take.
Next would be shellfish.
Shellfish are high in zinc and zinc is a precursor to testosterone.
Many people take oysters as well.
That's another good food.
Or tuna tuna will give you more towards vitamin D, but another great
source egg yolks is another good one for those who do eat eggs, one egg
a day, mind your cholesterol, but you're also going to get K2 that we
talked about that will help with bone in osteoporosis and bone deposition.
For those that don't like meat or eggs or even milk beans are a great source
of nutrition that can help promote.
Testosterone production.
Number four is supplements zinc for one is an important precursor to testosterone
and has been shown to be important in those with high testosterone levels.
Ginseng is a great one and helps with many things, including anxiety.
Calming nerves, but has been associated with higher testosterone levels.
Vitamin D is important.
And of course, in the foods that I mentioned, you'll notice they're
high in vitamin D and zinc as well.
And in the fish, such as the tuna we talked about, but many people like
supplementation, L R Janine is important.
And of note there it's important to avoid B P A's.
Bisphenol a is an industrial chemical that has been used to
make certain plastics and resins.
Since the 1960s, it's been shown to have some estrogenic like, uh, properties.
And has been detrimental to testosterone levels, especially heating them.
And they're often found in plastics and in coatings, such as on
frying pans and different things.
So just to avoid them also the containers that people package food and food
to go in and be mindful of those.
Number five is sleep all important.
And there's a relative deprivation of sleep in North America, certain
countries, they value sleep.
What are you looking for?
Good quality sleep.
It's really important.
So you want to sleep throughout the night.
Decreased phone use decreased lighting.
Some people take nice teas before bed to calm them, decrease anxiety, but
getting a constant sleep for about eight hours without interruption has been
shown to help with testosterone levels.
Here's a study that showed the association of testosterone sleep and
sexual function in both men and women.
They know the clinical trials of animal, as well as human studies and the
association of sex steroid concentrations with sleep and sexual dysfunction.
There's more information and links the product below this
