That's because he needs to look at free testosterone, not total testosterone. Bound testosterone cannot be readily used by the body and is not an accurate reflection of one's sexual health.

So yeah, his T serum can be above 1,000 ng/dL and he could be a babyface.

Most notorious reason for low free testosterone is lack of sleep, which can also be indicated by high reverse t3.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?

It's in the video, somebody linked it. He has testosterone over 1,500 and super high SHBG. He's 31 and has never really grown a beard so it's probably always been high. If it's cancer then it's a very slow one. Probably just a genetic variation that produces high SHBG and the body produces more testosterone to compensate. Hard to predict what kind of problems it might give him down the road since it's probably rare.
