let’s talk about the male version of pcos what  is pcos it stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome  

okay pcos is a condition in females where  you have these follicle or cyst like  

things growing on the ovary and there is an  excess amount of androgens being produced  

and these androgens create facial hair loss of  hair on top of your head weight gain deeper voice  

and a very stubborn metabolism now pcos is driven  largely by chronically elevated insulin okay this  

is called hyperinsulinemia okay too much insulin  in your blood now what causes that too many carbs  

this is why the ketogenic diet is essential  for pcos but in a male if we’re going to talk  

about the the equivalent of pcos in a man we’re  going to get three symptoms one is androgenic  

alopecia this is male pattern baldness  okay number two erectile dysfunction  

why because insulin destroys circulation in  the vascular system and the last one is benign  

prostatic hypertrophy your prostate is getting  too big and that is because insulin is a growth  

promoting factor it makes things get bigger  so if you have any one of these and we’ll call  

them symptoms you know you have too much insulin  and the most important test that doctors never  

do is a fasting insulin test and there’s  another one called homa ir which measures  

as a part of that fasting insulin so if you have  male pattern baldness a rectal dysfunction or  

an enlarged prostate definitely get the blood  test homa ir or even a fasting insulin test  

and in the meantime if you want to see some  amazing improvements i would recommend doing the  

healthy version of the ketogenic diet as well as  intermittent fasting if you’re new to my channel  

i put a link down below of exactly how to do it  hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of  

my content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
