So, the longer the ring finger is over the index finger, the longer the ‘eggplant.’” (03:18) (Dr. Brian) “Did you know that testosterone is an important hormone for the fetus in the womb? It totally is and studies have shown that higher levels of testosterone in the fetus grows that little fetus’ eggplant. More testosterone, more ‘eggplant’ growth.” (07:39) (Dr. Brian) “A longer index finger than the ring finger, in this case, showed a lower risk of prostate cancer.” (10:24) (Dr. Brian) “Studies have shown that women who had a longer index finger than their ring finger had higher rates of cervical dysplasia, which is a precursor to cervical cancer.” (11:59) (Dr. Brian) “A longer ring finger compared to the index finger, meaning more testosterone in the womb, was associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer and brain tumors in both men and women.” (16:12) (Dr. Brian) Links Mentioned https://www.boxerwachler.com/ (Dr. Brian’s Website) https://www.tiktok.com/@brianboxerwachlermd (Dr. Brian’s TikTok) https://www.instagram.com/drboxerwachler/ (Dr. Brian’s Instagram)   Please remember, Dr. Brian is a doctor, but he is not your doctor.
