Episode 9: MET value for masturbation: Does it boost BMR?
March 03, 2026 · 9:07
Masturbation burns about 15–40 kcal per 10–15 minutes (≈2–3 METs) and does not meaningfully increase men's BMR.

Does lifting weights burn fat? The science-backed answer for men who want visible results
Dr. Bruno Rodriguez, DPT, CSCS: Strength, Recovery, and Physical Therapy Expert
Jan 05, 2026 · 10 min read
Lifting weights can support fat loss by building and preserving muscle, which helps maintain a higher resting metabolic rate and improves body composition over weeks and months. Here’s how to set up your training and tracking so the mirror changes even when your workout isn’t “burning fat” in the moment. “If you’re asking ‘does lifting ...
Metabolic confusion diet: Can calorie cycling help men lose fat without stalling?
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Dec 14, 2025 · 13 min read
When weekly calories (and protein) are matched, calorie cycling (“metabolic confusion”) tends to produce fat loss similar to a steady daily deficit, but higher-calorie days may improve adherence and help manage diet fatigue tied to adaptive thermogenesis (a drop in resting metabolic rate during prolonged dieting). Here’s how to structure high- and low-calorie days so ...
Does testosterone increase metabolism in men?
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Dec 09, 2025 · 13 min read
In men with confirmed testosterone deficiency, testosterone replacement can modestly increase metabolic rate over 6 to 12 months, largely by adding lean muscle (which raises basal metabolic rate) and reducing visceral fat. The biggest payoff shows up when strength training, protein intake, and sleep are dialed in, and men with normal levels usually see little ...
Masturbation MET value and BMR: What science shows
Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert
Dec 07, 2025 · 16 min read
Frequent masturbation or ejaculation does not meaningfully increase basal metabolic rate, or BMR, in men, and the calories burned are usually small. Based on light activity MET ranges and extrapolation from sexual activity studies, a typical 10 to 15 minute session is often estimated at roughly 15 to 40 kilocalories (about 2 to 3 METs), ...
What do elliptical trainers do for your physique and longevity?
Dr. Bruno Rodriguez, DPT, CSCS: Strength, Recovery, and Physical Therapy Expert
Dec 07, 2025 · 13 min read
Elliptical trainers provide low-impact, weight-bearing cardio that can improve aerobic fitness and help maintain or reduce body fat when programmed at sufficient intensity. Here is what they actually do to your muscles, joints, heart, and hormones, and how men can use them for real results. “When guys ask me what do elliptical trainers do, they ...
