Fatherless sons have more testosterone

  For any discussion on testosterone, I highly recommend the Huberman lab episode[1] on the topic. Crazy packed with information. 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0KeCWwDkdbEGFBXW0SFtK1?si=OPL0GzEuThusbklLIxndFA https://open.spotify.com/episode/0KeCWwDkdbEGFBXW0SFtK1?si=O...

  This study used a saliva test for measuring testosterone. From what I read it doesn't appear that they accounted for diet, weight, and sleep all of which have a direct effect on t-levels and will change drastically if a father is active in the care of his newborn. Without good sleep and diet your testosterone could plummet to less than half of your average levels.
