It can reduce stress by having an effect on cortisol reduction, which is a stress hormone. And there’s even some evidence that it might even improve depression.” (05:43) (Dr. Brian) “They have published studies ‘proving’ that fapping caused all these problems in teenage boys. Like it increased the risk of them getting psychiatric problems and heart disease and heart attacks. And it turned out that this is all completely Cap. There’s no data to actually support that with modern studies. I think this is an example that people have their personal biases and sometimes they want to project it onto the world around them.” (08:50) (Dr. Brian) “Ashwagandha can also change the body’s composition. And what I mean by that is it can increase muscle mass and strength. And, specifically when people are weight lifting, it can reduce the muscle damage from weight lifting.” (11:26) (Dr. Brian) “Ashwagandha won’t help grow your eggplant. But, it can increase testosterone and muscle strength as well as exercise performance.” (13:54) (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.
