How You Unintentionally LOWER Your Testosterone! | UroChannel

Did you know that certain workout and dietary practices can unintentionally lower testosterone levels? In this video, Dr. med. Dr. phil. Stefan Buntrock, a board-certified urologist from Göttingen, specializing in sexual, sports, and nutritional medicine, explains RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sports), a condition that impacts energy availability and leads to low testosterone levels in athletes. Introduced by the International Olympic Committee in 2014, RED-S is an underrecognized issue affecting athletes of all genders, ages, and disciplines. RED-S occurs when energy intake is insufficient to meet the demands of training and basic physiological functions, causing the body to prioritize survival over hormonal balance, including testosterone production. Symptoms of RED-S include fatigue, frequent injuries, poor recovery, and weakened immunity. Low energy availability, especially below 30 kcal per kilogram of lean body mass, can significantly suppress testosterone within days. Dr. Buntrock also highlights the importance of proper nutrition, particularly the role of carbohydrates, in maintaining health and performance. While low-carb diets are popular, they can hinder recovery and reduce energy availability. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, vegetables, and legumes, provide steady energy and are essential for athletic performance. In contrast, simple carbohydrates, like those in candy and soda, can lead to blood sugar crashes and offer minimal nutritional value. This video will guide you on how to calculate your lean body mass, determine your minimum energy needs, and make smart dietary choices to prevent RED-S. Proper nutrition isn’t just about performance—it’s about protecting your long-term health and hormonal balance.
