A short YouTube commentary by Dr. Charles Mok describing scientific links between low testosterone and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The speaker presents a bidirectional relationship (obesity can lower testosterone and low testosterone can promote obesity) and notes that obese men with low testosterone may see modest increases in testosterone after weight loss and exercise; detailed references are cited in the speaker's book.

But we see is that there's a clear relationship between low testosterone and obesity, low testosterone and type 2 diabetes, and then low testosterone and cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular mortality. So obesity does lead to low testosterone, and low testosterone leads to obesity. Now, in the book I wrote, you can look at the references for how we walk through this scientifically. But men with low testosterone that are obese, they might get a little bit of bump in their testosterone levels if they lose weight and start exercising.
