Now you may think this is a funny title for a lecture.
But there is a very very very good reason that your stomach or your belly or beer belly is affecting
your testosterone levels.
If you have an increased amount or abnormal amount or above average amount of abdominal fat you are
severely restricting your testosterone production.
And this is actually working on multiple levels here.
First of all abdominal fat by scientific research and testing has been shown to restrict testosterone
production.
It's just a hormonal thing.
It's physiological.
Just having more fat on our bodies in general but particularly around our stomach has been shown to
lower insulin sensitivity.
And as a result of that and other factors lower our testosterone production and our body's ability to
produce testosterone.
The other side of that is having more abdominal fat on you and lowers your self-confidence having lower
self-confidence is directly tied with testosterone as well and it has kind of a synergistic effect as
you will find with many issues that we talk about with testosterone and in many of these lectures and
that higher testosterone is linked to higher confidence and higher confidence yields higher testosterone
so they both work in this synergistic circle and this loop effect of one it increases the other.
That being said I would definitely recommend getting either some measuring tape or some body fat calipers
to check your body fat and monitor your body particularly your stomach fat as you go through this course.
It's as simple as going to get measured at the doctor.
If you have a gym membership right now you can just go in and they'll usually do free assessments where
they can take your body fat percentage for you so that you can monitor that as you go throughout this
course and you can see the direct correlation you will find between your testosterone production and
your body fat and particularly your belly fat.
