Perhaps we should discuss this low testosterone issue that AdC brought up sort of on that other thread. Much to my surprise, I recently discovered that my testosterone levels are on the "low" end, although none of the female hormones are above normal for a man so I guess I'm not quite a man but not not a man either. I'm just an empty shell or something.
While it's common for testosterone to trail off over time, it's a bit early for me (35). I'm not sure if its really a problem. Why would I want testosterone? So I can get into fights? So I can want to have sex with women I'll never have sex with even more than I do now?
Then again, it may be part of the cause of my depression, insomnia and weight problems, so my shrink is concerned and wants me to follow up with my internist.
Today I read that non-fat diets lower testosterone. I don't eat a lot of fat. I've tended to eat way too many carbohydrates (although I've been cutting way back as of late), but not much fat. Perhaps that's part of the problem.
Does anyone know any more about this?
