The Key To Feeling Like a Man
Everyone talks about "HIGH TEST" like it's everything.
Truth is...
It doesn't matter how much TESTOSTERONE you have if your ANDROGEN RECEPTOR SENSITIVITY is bad.

THREAD🧵⬇️
You could have TESTOSTERONE levels of 1000 ng/dL…
and still not feel like THE MAN.
If your ANDROGENS are not SENSITIVE to receive the FREE TESTOSTERONE, you can still feel like a girl
even with high TESTOSTERONE
Do not focus on TESTOSTERONE alone, focus on ANDROGEN RECEPTOR'S SENSITIVITY.

1. Basic overview of how TESTOSTERONE works
• Testosterone enters the cell and attaches to the Androgen Receptor (AR)
• Together, they move into the CELL NUCLEUS
• Inside they cause certain GENE EXPRESSION (associated with male dimorphism)
Examples of these traits:
• Hair Growth
• Deeper voice & aggression
• Muscle Growth & Bone Density

2. Why Sensitivity Matters
Without proper Androgen Receptor Sensitivity…
Even 1000 ng/dL of Testosterone won't do much.
Your body WON'T be expressing those GENES or MASCULINE TRAITS.
Meanwhile, someone with LOWE T but better receptor sensitivity can feel and perform more like a man than you.

3. High Cortisol Is Bad
• Testosterone and Cortisol are both made from cholesterol. So the more CORTISOL, the less TEST your body will produce
• CORTISOL blocks TESTOSTERONE'S effects, stopping it from MASCULINIZING you.
• It also raises AROMATASE, which turns TESTOSTERONE into ESTROGEN
In short: Cortisol is anti-androgen.

4. How To Lower Cortisol
1) Deep Breathing
2) Meditation
3) Carbohydrates (especially around training)
4) Sleep 8-9 hours
5) Magnesium Supplementation
6) Stop watching news
7) Stop scrolling social media
8) Listen to Relaxing Music
9) Reduce coffee & other stimulants

5. Avoid Endocrine Disruptors
I've said this for ages… but it's worth repeating.
Endocrine Disruptors = Toxic Chemicals that:
• Block your Androgen Receptors
• Activate Estrogen Receptors
They are literally stealing your MASCULINITY.

6. Avoid Endocrine Disruptors
1) Polyester Underwear
2) Plastic Water Bottles
3) Microplastics
4) Teflon Pans
5) Switch to a bamboo toothbrush
6) Use non-estrogenic material bed sheets

7. Avoid Soy Products
They contain PHYTOESTROGENS -> plant compounds that are similar to HUMAN ESTROGEN.
• They suppress Androgen Receptor Activity
• And increase Estrogen
Soy supplements are even used to help women in menopause to raise ESTROGEN LEVELS.
But they will tell you it's okay for men, B.S!

8. Avoid Sexual Exhaustion
Too much sexual activity in a short period of time (a day) can reduce ANDROGEN RECEPTORS SENSITIVTY.
In rats, it takes a full week for them to recover and regain interest in sex.

9. Avoid Benzophenone
• It's found in SUNSCREENS
• It produces CHEMICALS that block ANDROGEN RECEPTORS
If you need sunscreen, choose a mineral-based one instead.

10. How To Boost Androgen Receptor Sensitivity
1) Strength Training
2) L-Carnitine
3) Vitamin D3
4) Zinc
5) Glutamine
6) Glycine
7) Milk
8) Red Meat
9) Oysters/Liver
10) Eggs
