Can Testosterone Be Too High? Joshua says: He loves the podcast and website. His question is, he just got his blood work back and everything looks good, except his testosterone. It was 1100, which he knows is ridiculously high so it scares him. Do you have any thoughts? He's going to his doctor in a week but doesn't trust them to have a real answer to whats going on. He knows its good to have high testosterone but 1100 is over the top. In my response, I recommend: -Sex Hormone Balance Test Coffee Enemas 101 Yvonne says: She has a friend who does regular coffee enemas who also can't sleep at night.
