All About Testosterone and Libido: A Deep Dive into Men’s Health
The Importance of Understanding Testosterone and Libido
When it comes to men’s health and sexual wellness, testosterone and libido play a crucial role. However, the relationship between the two is not as straightforward as many believe. While testosterone does impact libido, it is not the sole factor influencing a man’s sexual desire.
In a recent conversation with an expert in the field, it was highlighted that low libido in men can stem from a variety of factors, including relationship issues, stress, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and even neurotransmitter dysfunction. It was also emphasized that treating low libido with testosterone alone may not address all underlying issues.
Understanding Low Testosterone and Its Symptoms
Low testosterone levels can lead to a range of symptoms, including low libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, increased fat deposition, poor sleep, and even depression. Addressing these symptoms may require a holistic approach that goes beyond just boosting testosterone levels.
Antidepressants and Libido: A Complex Relationship
Antidepressants are known to have a negative impact on libido, making it challenging for men to maintain a healthy sex drive. In such cases, exploring alternative treatments or addressing underlying issues alongside medication may be necessary to improve sexual wellness.
The Role of Testosterone Replacement Therapy
For men with clinically low testosterone levels and symptomatic concerns, testosterone replacement therapy can be a viable treatment option. However, it’s essential to weigh the risks and benefits of this therapy, as it can have potential side effects such as increased red blood cell count, hypertension, and infertility.
Exploring Different Forms of Testosterone Therapy
There are multiple methods of administering testosterone, including oral pills, injections, gels, creams, nasal formulations, patches, and pellets. Each option comes with its own set of benefits and risks, and the choice of therapy should be tailored to the individual’s preferences and needs.
Addressing Misconceptions and Concerns
While there have been concerns about the association between testosterone therapy and heart health or prostate cancer, recent research has shown no significant increase in these risks. It’s crucial for individuals considering testosterone therapy to undergo thorough evaluation and monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy.
Conclusion
Testosterone and libido are integral aspects of men’s health and wellness, but understanding their complexities and interconnections is vital for effective treatment. By addressing underlying factors, exploring diverse treatment options, and maintaining open communication with healthcare providers, men can optimize their sexual health and overall well-being.

The Dr. Is absolutely right. Megyn Kelly nailed it.
What Is Wrong With Our Society Today?
If we viewed human society a single live organism, then what would we see?
We would see that, in its current state of development, its immune system is barely working, and its cells and organs, which should be sustaining the body’s health, are deteriorating.
Personal, social, economic and ecological problems are all on the rise, including depression, stress, loneliness, emptiness, anxiety, xenophobia, drug abuse, suicide, income equality, poverty, climate change, and although many people are trying to patch and treat these problems, the efforts fail to solve the problem at its overarching cause.
What is the cause of all problems in human society?
It is the human ego, i.e., the innate calculative mechanism in human nature that prioritizes self-benefit over benefiting others, which makes society’s individual “cells” each pull to themselves more than giving to others, bringing on the downfall of the entire organism of human society.
As cancer takes place when cells take more than they need at the expense of the body, so our society is currently made up of egoists each guided by an enveloping egoistic paradigm that supports the idea of success as becoming individually wealthy, famous and powerful.
That we are egoists is a nature-given situation, but the social influence and public opinion that supports egoistic goals and values is what’s wrong with society.
Nature functions oppositely to the human ego: altruistically and according to laws of interconnection and interdependence. It thus rejects our growing ego, and the more we develop today, the more we feel pressured between our growing ego that wants to detach from others, and nature’s tendency to connect us all into a single whole.
Therefore, the more we develop today, the more we enter into an increasing entanglement of complications, and it is all in order to bring us to the realization that our egoistic nature stands behind all of our problems, that it is an inherently evil quality, that we helplessly follow its demands to try and fill it with self-aimed pleasure at the expense of others time and again, and that any move to improve society requires first diagnosing the ego as the cause of all our problems.
Then, when we reach a widespread realization of this common cause to all our problems, we can start fixing it.
When we reach such an awakening, we will realize that there is no person, group of people, or political or religious orientation to blame for our problems. There is only our very egoistic nature, dwelling in each and every one of us.
How can we then correct human nature, if it is the cause of all our problems?
It is possible if we create an environment that supports the ego’s correction, so that instead of receiving for self-benefit alone at the expense of others, we would want to positively contribute and connect to others in order to benefit them, without any “What will I get out of it?” intent.
It is against human nature to give and contribute to others, but if we changed public opinion, our social and media influences, and also our education, in order that we learn the nature of humanity’s increasing interdependence today, how the human ego opposes our growing interdependence and also why this is the cause of all our problems, and that the way to resolve our myriad problems today is by correcting our connections to each other—creating an environment that supports giving and contributing to society, prioritizing values of mutual consideration and responsibility over competitive and individualistic ideas of success—then we would be on course to a monumental positive social transformation.
You seen very interested in testosterone today Mrs. Kelly. Hummmm i wonder why?. Is Mr. Kelly ok?
Megyn Kelly talking about erectile dysfunction: it just doesn’t get any better than this
I could listen to Megyn talk about libido all day. In fact, there is no better cure for low male libido than the Megyn Kelly show. Telegraph it, Megyn!
I wish I knew all of this when my boys were young and impressed by me and an entirely new experience when they were young boys talking to them as men now a totally different experience for sure! All four are so very different! I wish I could count on their father but alas it will be me talking about this oh please pray I say the right thing!!! Love always Kelli
And if some (or even a lot) of this stuff is already in foods and drinks then gee, what happens when people seek treatment and are given even more and in higher concentrations? Just saying.
Megan really enjoyed this conversation ☺️
Its so hot hearing Megan talking about these things 😅
But it still testosterone that control high sex drive. Go on oestrogen ss a guy and it s gone!!😯😯😯😯😯😯 or get constrated and the stories you hear is so astonishing!!!
One such story
I never been so feee in my thinking in my life. My wife so happy and can find relief!! She does not dread the nights.
Megyn Kelly has tremendously helped my Libido lately 😅
…2:58…"I was able to get these men AMAZING erections".
😏
O……k.
Just looking at Megyn cures any libido issue.
🤤
Men give up porn it changed my life and relationships
Ha one of my favorite past times skyrocketing a woman's libido ❤
There’s also something called post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). It can occur while on the drug and persist after coming off. It’s only just starting to be talked about.
I have low testosterone but it never has affected my libido.
I went on TRT as I was training MMA. At my age I needed additional test. as I was in the 300 nano range. This was awhile back when target ranges at these clinics were 1200 nanos. A good range for most, but not for me as I became to androgenic. Do not think that the more test you do the better you will perform in the bedroom. You need to hit the "sweet spot" where you will be ready anytime. Good interview by Meghan.
i really like watching Megan. great voice, great presence.
What do you do for high bp while on testosterone??
Excellent interview. Wish there's a similar one focused on women.
“I’m not into it, get off me”. 😂
Food, the answer is food! Not pills!
Great program from a very classy lady. Lot of good info. The woman cares, and deserves our respect.
I had huge prolactin and very low testosterone and got medication to fix both and now I’m constantly horny.
It is a good idea for women to get their testosterone levels checked. I suffered from chronic fatigue. I got my thyroid medicine figured out and still felt awful. My obgyn of 32 years brought bio identical hrt to our area. I was already starting menopause in my early 40’s. Having my levels tested and my pellets done changed my life. I also do estrogen in the pellets, and take oral progesterone.
I will note, pellets are covered by insurance for men, but is not covered for women.
Careful Megyn, sounds like this is basically an embedded ad for drugs/supplementation. What's next, Megyn Kelly "brought to you by Pfizer"?
Wonderful presentation, as a TRT patient since 2014 with lots of pushback and scoldings from dR's including my own .. I live in Ontario Canada and have to payout of my own pocket for treatments in a province with "covered": health care …had symptoms and tested as testosterone deficient prior to starting treatment .. as the DR advises.. I saw improvements in mental and physical health and continue to be monitored 2x a year.. and if my hemo count gets a little high then donate blood … best decision and my health remains vastly improved.. would fight like hell before going backwards ..
How come no one mentions quit porn to fix ED?
Quit desensitizing your minds!!!
Hi Megyn. I got lots of labido. I jerk off twice a day. I just don't want anything to do with women anymore.
You’re fantastic Megyn, I want it😂
Which microphone are u using?
Somthing is going on at the Kelly house cause Meg is doing some reconnaissance to see why her man isn't performing like he used to (imo).
I am against the libido.
This doc is good. Thx Megan.
Cold tub increases boom boom lol
good article, very helpful.
Megyn Kelly show is the best thing on Sirius.
Workout for 45-60 minutes of strenuous exercise a day. Eat healthy and avoid processed foods. Drink a gallon of water daily. Get good rest. I'm a 44 year old man and the engine is still going strong. Keep up the fire 🔥 Megyn
Boy!!! I needed to hear this!!!
