Summary
Want to know how to raise your Testosterone? Don’t miss this video!
In it I discuss a recent meta-analysis (summary of 6 interventional studies) showing that low-fat, higher fiber diets lead to lower testosterone levels (and lower estrogen levels in women, along with a higher rate of anovulation/menstrual irregularities)!
You know, low-fat, high fiber diets like a plant-based diet that’s claimed to be “healthy” for humans these days…
No thanks. I’ll keep eating my organs, meat, and animal fat and getting the unique nutrients needed to make proper sex hormones.

| 0:00.0 | What is up you guys? Welcome to another edition of Controversial Thoughts. Costa Rica version. |
| 0:06.4 | Got the beard rock in here. If you're on YouTube, you can see it. Let me know if you like it. |
| 0:11.2 | Or if I should shave it into a mustache of any particular degree. But found some interesting |
| 0:17.9 | papers this week on testosterone levels, which are important to both men and women. And I'm also |
| 0:24.0 | going to talk about estrogen levels in women. So it's going to be a whole talk on sex hormones |
| 0:29.5 | in relation to fatty acid content of the diet, specifically high fat versus low fat. |
| 0:34.5 | And then I'll break it down into a little bit of data reported in one of these papers about |
| 0:39.4 | differences between saturated fat and monoinsaturated fat versus our favorite nemesis seed oils |
| 0:46.9 | full of omega-6 polyamaturated fats, specifically linoleic acid and how these different fats |
| 0:53.3 | may be influencing testosterone and potentially estrogen and women to the sex hormones. |
| 0:58.8 | Why do we care? I don't even need to answer this question. The guys listening to this all |
| 1:04.0 | want higher testosterone. We want to be men. We want to go beards. We want to have muscles. We want |
| 1:08.4 | to have genitalia that work. It's important for our sex drive and our energy. Low testosterone is |
| 1:14.4 | associated with tons of bad outcomes. And the same goes for women. If your sex hormones are off, |
| 1:19.4 | the women and women and men both use estrogen and estrogen analogs and testosterone. I should say |
| 1:25.3 | estrogen derivatives and testosterone in their hormonal milieu. So it's important for both men |
| 1:31.2 | and women to have testosterone and different levels of estrogen. Obviously between the sexes, |
| 1:35.2 | there's variation in what those levels should be. But if changes in the fat that we're eating can |
| 1:40.8 | affect the sex hormones, this is an important thing to know about and someone to discuss. And you |
| 1:45.8 | don't want to be tanking your testosterone, you can avoid it. And I think you can. I want to let |
| 1:51.2 | you guys know you guys all know we're doing animal based 30 this month at heart and soil. If |
