And that man? Luigi
A nerd who injected himself with testosterone to ace the “test”
I was thinking Nick Offerman.
Obviously Conan O’Brien
I guess I’ll just assume what the x axis is…
Grigori Perelman
For your sins of axis-cropping, you shall be redeemed by reciting the periodic table thrice.
we need a community / magazine for badly cropped axises in the lemmyverse! (if there is not one already)
The only redemption is re-posting the full, properly cropped picture!
Shift the zone downwards quite a bit to be more accurate. Not many of them are high testosterone.
That’s where they think they are. (They’re also dumb enough to think that that is good.)
Well, there are a lot of rednecks with a circular family tree and more brain in their balls as in their head.
Now, I can find where I’d probably project to be.
That’s just John Testosterone, we don’t talk about him.
Professor John Testosterone.
styropyro
He has some mystery condition where his testosterone is super high… He’s very smart, but maybe not quite there.
Tbh if you told me there’s a STEM youtuber with worryingly high levels of testosterone, Styropyro would be my first guess
That’s literally who I thought about and I’m so glad someone mentioned it. He’s a freakishly smart dude.
How is he now btw? Is he getting treated? Did they find a root cause?
He’s posted very little on it. Last we heard they didn’t find any cancers or anything and he wasn’t really suffering from it. He had some strange symptoms and it it just came up in tests that didn’t like up with what he was there for. But it was really really high.
Well, as long as it isn’t negatively affecting him I guess. But I assume that he’ll have to somewhat regularly monitor it with bloodwork checkups
Yeah, we have to assume he’s in good hands. No good to assume anything else
high five, random internet poster. I came here to make a similar comment :)
That’s styropyro:
Poor thing can’t fully close his mouth.
He’s one of the smartest youtubers I routinely watch. And yeah, crazy high testosterone, although you might never guess. I generally would assume someone with that much testosterone would have some facial hair.
That’s not how testosterone works. It’s not fuel, it’s just a signal. Everyone’s neutral baseline is calibrated differently depending on developmental events mainly in the womb. It’s not about how much absolute testosterone you have in a snapshot, it’s about how much higher or lower you are than your own personal baseline. Your body will tend to maintain near your baseline, which might be much higher or lower than someone else’s baseline, while “meaning” the same thing.
im guessing he also has some degree of androgen insensitivity. having crazy high testosterone youd expect large muscles, lots of facial hair, male pattern baldness, a low voice, but hes not that big, has at least thin facial hair that he shaves, a full head of hair, and a relatively high voice. idk if any version of androgen insensitivity is associated with very high testosterone levels but i wouldn’t be surprised.
Type 2 testobetes
Bro caught that Elon torso syndrome
these are just stereotypes
The lasers keep burning it off
At that level of androgen, some of the androgen will be transformed into estrogen.
Source: I’m on hrt
Yes! Free oestrogen is not actually a particularly good thing if you’re not on antiandrogens and pointless if you are. E-maxxing is sadly money down the drain.
Dude’s in his 30s but looks and sounds like a guy in his early 20s.
Integer overflow.
Mostly you’d expect them to be bald
What does it mean if you have high testosterone and a lot of hair on your head? 😅
Might not have the hair for too long. Though you might. Depends on the tolerance for testosterone. Just know that high testosterone and baldness are highly correlated
You could also have a high tolerance for DHT, which is the metabolite of testosterone associated with hair loss.
In general though I think a lot of people focus very hard on the specific hormones, and typically they’ll do what they say on the tin in standard doses. But there are a lot of edge cases. Higher or lower sensitivities, general proclivities, etc.
Before transitioning most people would’ve suspected I had very high T. I had a deep voice at a young age, built muscle fast, full beard as a teenager, the whole shebang minus baldness (but I transitioned young so that could just be time). But nope, my levels were average. I also responded fairly strongly to estrogen.
What’s far more important than your numbers is if you’re getting healthy and acceptable effects from your hormone levels. There’s no need to mess with your levels unless there’s need to mess with your levels.
Iirc, keeping or losing your hair as a guy has to do with DHT receptors in your hair follicles. T doesn’t make your hair fall out, but DHT does, and your body produces more DHT as you get older (hence why finastride works as a hair loss inhibitor - it blocks DHT from the receptors in your hair). But only the hair on the top of your head is sensitive to this, with sensitivity higher in some places than others. Hence, some guys bald on the crown first, while some have a receding hairline first, and some never bald at all.
I will never go bald. I have a proceeding hairline 🤣
How do you know what his testosterone levels is?
See the first video in the screenshot
He has a very uncommon medical condition that he shared with his viewer base a while ago, largely because it had a serious impact on how often he was putting out videos for a while until he got it diagnosed
im pretty sure thats what the first video in the original comment is about
I came to say this! OG madlad.
That is Testosterone Georg, who is an outlier and should not be counted
might be styropyro who has mentioned a clinical testosterone disorder affecting videos recently
Pretty sure that’s just StyroPyro.
Maybe the initial testosterone measurement was just wrong, I wonder of they repeated it. Broken device?
IIRC that’s why most labs require multiple samples but IANAMD.
Transient elevation is possible without long term aberrant effects, though the result will have to be explained to future doctors and insurance underwriters who will want to know if it was due to poorly-managed / self-administered HRT or an unchecked gonadal growth. If neither of those things, and no other symptoms present, it’s treated as normal.
