I don't write about what I haven't tested on myself. Testosterone | DHT | Prolactin | Cortisol. Real data.

The most interesting finding isn't actually in the abstract. After supplementing with Vitamin E, the hCG stimulation pushed testosterone levels all the way up to 1015 ng/dl, compared to just 609 ng/dl before.

It’s the same HPG axis and the same testicles, just with the oxidative stress cleared out of the way. It’s a solid reminder that your testosterone ceiling is probably a lot higher than you think.

@testomaxing This is known as the ‘winner effect’, and I use it too. Men are too passive – it’s not about aggression or hatred, it’s about energy directed towards a goal and non-toxic competition.

Having estrogen in your system isn't an evolutionary glitch—it’s actually essential.

If your levels bottom out, you’re looking at brittle bones, a nonexistent libido, and a serious hit to your mental health. On the flip side, let it climb too high and you'll deal with things like water retention, muscle loss, and gynecomastia.

The real issue isn't the estrogen itself; it’s the visceral fat. That’s the culprit that turns your hard-earned testosterone into estrogen through a process called aromatization.

Stop overcomplicating it. Focus on fixing your body composition, and the rest will naturally fall back into line.

Exposing your testicles to the sun is like drinking water through your nose :) You can drink normally, so why make things complicated? There was only one study from 1939 suggesting that exposing your testicles to the sun raises T, but... exposing the chest did too, so exposing any part of the skin will raise T, but this mechanism only works in men with a vitamin D deficiency. So, the sun – yes, but which part of the body?? Any part :)

My grandmother didn’t know what macronutrients were.

She’d never heard of the glycaemic index.

She didn’t have a calorie-counting app.

And she’d never read a food label in her life.

Because the food she ate didn’t have labels.

Eggs from the farmyard. Potatoes from the garden. Bread made from four ingredients.

Meat that looked like meat — not like a ‘meat-like product with added vegetable protein’.

Somewhere along the way, we lost that simplicity.

We swapped it for a bar with twenty-four ingredients that “supports health”.

For fruit yoghurt that’s never seen a piece of fruit in its life.

For bread that stays fresh for two weeks — because something in it stops mould from touching it.

Think about that for a moment.

If mould won’t touch it — why should your gut have to deal with it?

Your body isn’t stupid.

It knows what’s food and what’s a product pretending to be food.

And it pays for every such compromise — with inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalance.

You don’t need to start a revolution.

Tomorrow in the shop — turn one packet over.

Count the ingredients.

If you wouldn’t be able to say them out loud in front of your grandmother — put it back.

She knew what she was eating.

You can too.

Cholesterol - stearic acid is best, but of course you can't consume just one fat Zinc - oysters/beef or supplement Magnesium - raw cocoa or supplement Hello D - sun or supplement Protein - meat :)) Sleep before midnight Blood circulation - zone 2 as the foundation, also improves NO and erections

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@thewisementor Caffeine consumed at the right time has zero effect on sleep. Dairy is not bad.

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@Lab_for_Men This is true and this is what I described in my article:

@Prince_Fynnz cucumber, dates, banana, oatmeal - the impact is 0

@TheBetterPath_ Cold showers – their benefits go beyond just stress resistance. They boost dopamine levels by around 250% without dropping below baseline. And since dopamine acts as an endogenous inhibitor of prolactin, this is highly beneficial. Prolactin is a ruthless killer of male libido...

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@sxhealth101 Yes, morning sex causes a 400% spike in prolactin for 1–2 hours, which lowers dopamine levels, so it’s actually better to have sex in the evening or late afternoon.

12/4 means 12 weeks of taking L-citrulline followed by a 4-week break; during this time, you can drink, for example, pomegranate juice, which has been clinically proven to affect erections and hormones. Or, during those 4 weeks, beetroot juice, for example. L-citrulline, beetroot juice, pomegranate juice and Kegel exercises are methods proven to be effective in humans, unlike others.

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@AbrisGains no problem:)

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@brentlajeunesse A few years?? I did it in four months when I was 45. What must he have been doing wrong for it to take so long?

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@RealKoenaza Ginger does not raise testosterone levels. It has a beneficial effect because it can reduce oxidative stress in the testicles, but it does not raise testosterone levels.

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@mandirective Cold showers have no effect on T. They increase dopamine, which is good for a guy, but they don't increase T.

[The Androgen Lab @androgen_lab]

@Save_A_Man Ginger has no effect on testosterone in healthy men
