Greg Brannon explains how FSH and LH control testosterone production, and how testosterone converts into estradiol or DHT in cells. Historical testosterone ranges for young men were 800-1400 ng/dL, but modern labs now call 200-900 ng/dL normal.
a man can be able to reproduce his whole life. So in a man's body, hormone called FSH in the brain makes sperm. LH in the brain makes testosterone that converts to estradiol and dihydrotestosterone. One of their function is to mature sperm. The other function is go to every single cell in our human body needs testosterone to work. It's basically gasoline for every cell. So every cell's receptor for testosterone, and then every cell has a certain amount of aromatase to convert to estrogen. So what is an optimal level of testosterone? When you and I were younger— I'm 63— when you— when we were younger, our grandparents, when they were kids, 18 to say 30, an average man's level is between 800 and 1400. Today, most labs call a man around 200 to 900. Now, a woman is interesting. A woman has a fertile range, there's no doubt about that, because of ovulation.
