My testosterone is in the dumpster
-
So technically post isn't 100% true. I'm 15yo male ofc and my total testosterone is 665ng/dl, but my free testosterone is only 16.9pg/ml (range is 2-95 for my age but ofc if im primal i should be high end or more not low end) or in other words 1.69ng/dl which is super low.
Contrary to what most believe total testosterone is a mostly worthless measurement to see if you're high test because free testosterone is what matters since it's what your body actually uses. This makes it clear my SHBG is super high since my total test isnt that bad but my free test is super low.
If anyone knows primal or aajonus-approved ways to raise test it'd be appreciated.
I was eating a crap ton of oysters, raw milk, raw ribeyes, raw chicken liver, raw eggs, unsalted raw butter, some unheated honey, peaches, watermelon, etc. leading up to the blood test and getting tons of sun and grounding a lot and as of recently after the blood test and after you guys told me to i've been having lubrication formulas.
By this logic my free testosterone or testosterone in general should be higher, that's what I've seen is promoted for testosterone after all but it obviously isnt the case for me.

@IWantClearSkin Your body doesn’t make testosterone if you don’t need it.
You need to do short duration of dangerous physical stuff consistently that pumps your adrenaline and cortisol, that will increase your testosterone as those signal you live in dangerous environment evolutionarily and your body will increase your testosterone to make you more capable in future dangerous situations.
Why would your body make you highly capable if you don’t do anything that needs those capabilities, it won’t and it will focus on healing your body and longevity.
The best food and nutrients only gives you the resources but it doesnt give your body the signal.
Also your total testosterone is high and free testosterone is average. So its not low for teenager and yes abundant nutrition is the important thing that turns the signal to more testosterone.

@Arrendajo he can do this but he'll get some major detoxing. His balls will probably start to work properly after though
