> lower stress, lose weight, keep active, get sleep, weightlifting is good, cardio is good but maybe not too much, IF may be good It's annoying that these things seem like hand-wavy common sense advice for improving general health and not just raising T, but they are interrelated and helpful when it comes to boosting T. Lowering stress reduces cortisol, which is catabolic. Your note about too much cardio plays in here as well. It increases cortisol and is also catabolic in its own right. Lowering cortisol helps you lose weight and get better sleep. Losing weight and intermittent fasting both improve insulin sensitivity. Insulin sensitivity makes for better weightlifting gains. Weightlifting increases T in its own right. I've had good results with lifting heavy (3x 5-8 reps, 85% 1RM) in a fasted state around 11AM, followed by lunch and early dinner, maintaining a roughly 18/6 IF window.
