Low T, Diabetes and Death

written by delmer

The Daily Mirror recently published story titled, Diabetic men with low testosterone more likely to die. While I’m of the mind we’re all likely to die regardless of the levels of testosterone we have, eventually, I was curious enough about the headline to click the link in my newsreader and have a read. In the [...]

Testosterone levels and our ability to woo women.

written by delmer

Way back, when I was something like 20 and testosterone pretty much dripped off me much as it does most 20-year-old males, I would sometimes go to a local store that sold overstocks of printed sports team shirts and what-not. Of all the trips I made to the store I remember buying two items. One [...]

Low Testosterone and Your Muscles

written by delmer

There is a lot more detail to the answer Bret Contreras provides to the guy who asked, “Can someone be consistently on the lower end of the normal range for testosterone and still be muscular?” … but the simple answer, per Bret, is: As you can see, there are multiple (and many redundant) pathways to [...]

Diabetes and Low Testosterone

written by delmer

When I started looking into my hormone problems I remember reading that low testosterone can lead to loss of bone mass, loss of muscle mass, loss of libido, diabetes… just about anything that can go wrong with a man – but I’ll be darned if I can find the notes or source I had that [...]

Applying some math to the pituitary gland

written by delmer

I’ve often wondered if mathematics could be used to write popular songs – that is, songs that would turn out to be popular. I believe all music can be reduced, refined, re-somethinged into some sort of mathematical model and from that model people could move forward, creating songs that was sure to be a hit. [...]

Cuddling up in Winnipeg

written by delmer

The fact this article popped up in my news alerts was likely triggered by the keyword “prolactin.” While that isn’t usually enough to make me link to an article, I did recently watch the documentary My Winnipeg on Netflix.

ED may be sign of heart disease

written by delmer

Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes this article from Dr. Jeffry Life (could there be any cooler name for your doctor than Dr. Life… it’s the exact opposite of Dr. Death). You can read the whole thing at The Huffington Post, but here’s a snippet: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not a natural part of [...]
