#250 Icing Testicles for Testosterone, Why High Serotonin Is Bad, and More - Lucas Aoun from Ergogenic Health

Welcome to the Siim Land Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and today our guest is Lucas Aoun from Australia. Lucas has studied Exercise Science and Naturopathy and is into many different biohacks. He runs his website at ergogenic.health where he discusses his experiments and shares the latest studies on health, sleep, hormone optimization and longevity.

This episode is brought to you by Kaatsu Training. Kaatsu Bands incorporate blood flow moderation training that trick the body into thinking it’s lifting heavier weights than it actually is. When traditional weightlifting requires you to reach 70-80% of your 1 repetition maximum to stimulate muscle hypertrophy, then Kaatsu bands achieve that effect only at 20-30%. So, it’s perfect for treating injuries or used when you don’t have access to heavier weights. Research about Kaatsu bands also shows it lowers blood pressure, speeds up recovery from injuries, releases stem cells, builds muscle, burns fat, and prevents age-related muscle loss. These things are amazing and I use them almost every day to recover from my heavier workouts. If you want to try out the Kaatsu bands, then use the code SIIM for a 10% discount at kaatsu-global.com. That’s SIIM at kaatsu-global.com.
