The number one most foundational thing is overcoming micronutrient deficiencies. The second thing is lowering your exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. If you take those two things and if that's all you focused on, you would definitely have a huge impact on your natural testosterone because you're basically eliminating blockers. Whenever you begin to focus on these things, all areas of your health typically tend to be enhanced and increase dramatically because whenever you are fighting to increase one protective hormone, you're typically going to be increasing all protective hormones within the body. The ratios between stress and protective hormones are really important. I tend to think of testosterone as a leverage scenario. If you're just focused on that, what you're doing is supporting all those protective hormones at the same time. It has a really big impact on all everything else. Same with thyroid, if you were to focus on thyroid, that'll have a huge impact across the board. Just some facts about micronutrient deficiencies. There was a study done a few years ago on a population-wide study in the US. Population-wide statistically, 92% of people are deficient in choline, which is also probably completely correlated to the prevalence of fatty liver issues in people. 35% of people are deficient in vitamin A, 31% in vitamin C, 67% in vitamin E, 74% in vitamin D, 67% in vitamin K, 100% in potassium, 39% in calcium, and 46% in magnesium. The first thing that pops out is the electrolytes, such important minerals. Obviously, this is a population statistical study. They didn't measure everybody in the US, but they measured a large group and then took the data there and extrapolated it. But there’s a 100% deficiency in potassium, 39% in calcium, and 46% in magnesium. I don't see sodium in here, but sodium's also definitely very high in deficiency. I mean those are significant electrolyte deficiencies that people have when you wouldn't think so. There's this huge trend of low salt: "Don't eat salt. It causes these problems." Most people aren't consuming foods that are rich in these sorts of things. It's interesting that vitamin A was deficient because that's necessary for steroid synthesis. A lot of people, whenever they don't have the active form of vitamin A, which is retinol, which comes from animal sources, they lack the ability to properly convert cholesterol and different things into the steroid hormones to be converted into all the downstream. I read a study about deficiencies in vegan and vegetarian diets that were really common and that was one of them. The conclusion of that study was that essentially that most testosterone issues that a vegan or vegetarian would have would come down to deficiencies that they have in the diet as well as obviously also exposure to estrogenic or phytoestrogens because phytoestrogens are extremely common in that sort of diet. Essentially people don't get enough of these vitamins and minerals at the most basic level. If you're deficient in these things, they're raw materials that your body needs to produce these hormones properly and do the signaling properly and even neuro-transmitters. Everything functions better when you have all the raw materials that are needed for those processes to actually take place. When you're deficient in them, your body starts to find other ways to get them, and it's going to pull from other areas. It's going to take things and convert them into that raw material that it needs. But eventually you hit a deadend because you stop functioning at the healthy, thriving level because essentially just your body's just stripping from other areas of the body. It's taking other raw materials, converting them into whatever it needs. Eventually you run out if you're not actively providing more into your body, if you're practicing poor dietary habits, if you're exposing yourself to estrogenic chemicals that are cascading a sequence of events that leads to these imbalanced feedback loops in the body. If your body, just quite frankly, doesn't have the raw materials it needs, it's going to eventually show signs of the suffering that is involved with that. Eventually for guys, low T is a extremely common side effect or symptom.
