🔥 PCBs, plastics, and toxins often don’t show up in the blood—but they DO show up in sweat and can suppress testosterone.
Sauna sessions (3-4x/wk):
• Mobilize toxins stored in fat
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve detox pathways
• Support testosterone production

🔥 Visceral fat = testosterone kryptonite.
Here’s why:
• Visceral fat converts T → estrogen
• Estrogen suppresses the brains signal to make more testosterone
• More estrogen + less testosterone = less muscle = more fat
More fat → lower T → more fat.
Break the cycle and everything changes.

Midlife weight gain is not a personal failure.

Here’s the chain reaction:
Gut inflammation → LPS (endotoxin) → systemic inflammation → impaired Leydig cells → lower testosterone.
Translation: your testicles shut down because they’re inflamed, not because you’re “low hormone.”

Chronically elevated cortisol suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, cutting testosterone production by up to 40% within two weeks of a stress exposure.
Optimizing testosterone isn’t about “boosting” — it’s about lowering friction in the feedback loop.

A daily glass of wine increases breast cancer risk more than estrogen therapy does.
Two glasses a day? Doubles the risk of estrogen alone.
Aging without estrogen can be riskier than aging with it.
Risks of not supporting menopause include higher risks of:

• Bone loss

Just 1 serving/day of soft drinks raises insulin, raises leptin, AND increases your risk of low T.

Up to 60% of hypothyroid adults are undiagnosed because TSH alone is not enough.
Reverse T3, ferritin, selenium, and cortisol all influence the T3 your tissues actually see.
So you can have a “perfect” TSH with brain fog, cold hands, and fatigue — because your cells aren’t listening.

Still gaining fat around the waist despite “normal” blood sugar?
A 2021 analysis found that 1 in 3 adults with normal glucose had high fasting insulin.
Insulin resistance doesn’t just cause weight gain — it blocks thyroid conversion (T4→T3) and increases testosterone to estrogen.

To stimulate muscle protein synthesis you need to hit the leucine threshold (roughly 2–3 g leucine per meal for most adults).
That often looks like 30–40 g high-quality protein at a sitting (e.g., 5–6 oz chicken, 5–6 eggs, Greek yogurt + whey, or a well-formulated plant blend). #MetabolicMonday

After 30, your metabolism doesn’t nosedive—it simply becomes more dependent on maintenance.
The fix isn’t exotic supplements—it’s muscle preservation.
Strength train, prioritize sleep, 30–40 g of protein per meal and manage stress.
This stabilizes testosterone, blood sugar and energy output.

Why it matters:
Chronic high insulin boosts IGF-1 --> switches on growth pathways like AKT + mTOR and creates the perfect terrain for tumors to thrive.
