Testosterone production in men is systematically suppressed. A large part of this happens through food. Misinformation and marketing strategies led to the fact that today only soyboys exist.

Cholesterol turns to vitamin D when you get sunlight.
Also, it turns to Pregnenolon (and further cascading hormones) when having enough T3 and Vit A.
People don't have too much cholesterol. They don't have enough sunlight, T3 and Vit A.

Make sure to take your NDT and Aspirin.
NDT helps to turn cholesterol to the steroid hormones, also to Testosteron.
Aspirin blocks the conversion of Testosteron to estrogen.

1. Eat cholesterol
Cholesterol is the building block of the sex hormones. Both estrogen and testosterone are built mainly with cholesterol. For a long time, scientists tried to explain that cholesterol was to blame for heart disease. But thanks to Ray Peat, we know this is wrong.

2. Avoid Phytoestrogens

- Soy and other soy products (there's a reason Asian men don't have beards)
- Sunflower oil
- Flaxseed
- Wheat
- Rye
- Pumpkin
- Barley
- Walnuts
Don't eat.

Eat your daily carrot with apple cider vinegar, coconut oil and salt to remove
- endotoxins
- excess estrogenes
- rotten feces
out of your gut.
After two weeks you can evaluate if your gut likes it or not. Because too much carrot can irritate your gut (insoluble fibers)

4. Consume more saturated fatty acids
Simply put: coconut oil and animal fats (especially anything from the cow! Cows are there to provide us with meat, milk and fat). In addition to cholesterol, saturated fat is also one of the building blocks of our sex hormones.

There are people thinking you need 250g protein per day to build and maintain muscles.
I get 20g collagene in the morning after waking up and 350g meat in the evening (12 hours later).
So my protein intake per day is 100-110g.

5. Eat Gelatine
Correct. Gelatin is rich in glycine. And glycine is a strong anti-inflammatory amino acid. This means that when glycine is consumed, cholesterol goes down and thus testosterone is positively affected indirectly.

Of course, this was not only Ray Peats work. A great influence was Mike Mentzer, who promoted less workouts to supress systemic cortisol. His heavy duty program is a good fit for people who like to follow Ray Peats principles.

PUFAs should not be eaten. They cause inflammation in the body, which increases cortisone. Cortisone is a stress hormone and indirectly suppresses testosterone.
2

The cure is easy:
- Stop PUFAs
- Stop grains
- Stop emulsifiers/gums/stabilisators
- Regularly eat fruits to suppress cortisol (to close the entry to the stomach)
After that, you halve your PPI dosage every 3 weeks until it is not possible anymore.
Done

7. Avoid Fluoride

Besides this, sugar (especially from fruits) helps thyroid function. If this is well regulated, it works against the cortisol and thus supports the testosterone.

If coffee is drunk without sugar and milk, the glycogen stores of the liver and muscles are used up. This is because the metabolism ramps up. However, glycogen stores are only used up in stressful situations, which thus requires the release of cortisol.

This is probably the cheapest and safest way to increase your androgens.

Creatine increases DHT, our strongest androgen.

Let's say you can eat 50% of the cow -> 300kg of food

So one Swiss cow is enough to give me meat for more than 1.5 years.
