You need it all. Testosterone, Estrogen, DHT, and all other weird-named Androgens.
A few things you can do to improve your Sex Hormones:
Note: As a not to the above points, especially the Plastic one, I want to mention some find it weird to avoid those things, something which I don't understand as they are new human inventions, it's not something we were meant to be born with. Babies getting fed powdered milk inside a plastic bottle is nowhere near what was being done previously or what should be done, proof being the continuously degrading hormone levels in both men and women.
Note: It's hard to gauge them, even with a hormonal panel. Many things influence it besides Sex Hormone levels, such as receptor sensitivity and enzyme levels (i.e. 5-Alpha-Reductase, the most well known one).
A few things you can do to improve your Sex Hormones:
- Lower inflammation. The main way inflammation will result in lower Sex Hormones is by depleting the anti-oxidants in the balls by increased inflammation. This will result in lower overall hormone production. The things that cause the most inflammation are: Oils, High Exogenous Anti-Oxidant intake (i.e. Taking large amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, ... daily), Low Mineral Intake (See next point). Consider doing things such as Hot/Cold showers and exercise in order to increase your tolerance to oxidation.
- Increase Mineral Intake. This is a big problem for a lot of people, caused by the fact they attempt to intake their minerals trough plants, not knowing those are bound to Oxalate. Oxalate will on top of its other deleterious effects, make them pretty much impossible to be absorbed or used. The best way to get your minerals is trough lightly cooked meats, dairy, eggs. Minerals are vital for the overall proper functioning of the body.
- Lower Hormonal-Disruptor Intake: There are many of these so I will briefly mention some:
- Cruciferous Vegetables;
- Astaxanthin, Saw Palemtto, Ashwagandha, Ginger, possibly Capsacin (from Hot Peppers), and others;
- Plastic: Try to drink things that have been bottled in a glass bottle. I recommend only letting the food you cook touch stainless steel kitchen appliances. If you will eat or drink from a plastic container, make sure it has never at any point been heated. Cans should be avoided completely if possible.
- Perfumes (Phtalates);
- Deodorant (Metalloestrogens, Phtalates);
- Any kind of smoke;
- Oils (As previously mentioned). Use animal fat, Nuts and Seeds, and any other source of non-saturated fat;
- ...
- Many others. Ask in the comments if you are wondering about a specific thing

- Eat enough, then some more. Fast rarely. It's important to eat regularly to keep hormones such as Thyroid and Leptin up to increase hormone production. I recommend the use of a TDEE calculator if you have a hard time eating and force yourself to. I strongly recommend eating a few hundred calories over the number you get for proper production.
- Fasting is also not something that should be done daily or for longer periods of time for no reason in particular. If you want to fast, make it at most 1 day per week.
- Drink less water. Aim to eat foods (Such as a juicy steak or dairy products) that contain a bit of water and plenty of minerals instead. Drinking too much water regularly will make you piss it all out along with the minerals in your bloodstream. If you exercise, I recommend drinking something like Gatorade.

- It becomes hard to keep a straight position. Your back slouches without your realizing;
- You get sick more often and the symptoms are harder to control;
- It's hard for you to be relaxed. Your mind is racing and you always seem on fight-or-flight mode;
- Your sleep is worse. You wake up trough the night (Try eating only animal fat and protein troughout the day and push the carbohydrates until the end of the day. Do not eat them right before going to sleep, wait around 2 hours);
- You have allergy issues;
- You have a bad memory. It's hard to remember things.
- ...
- I could go on an on about these also. Probably many I also cannot recall right now. As always, if you have any questions, ask in the replies.
