Health Condition Relevance
Testosterone Low
zinc, vitamin d, selenium. Zinc for 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibition. Mg reduces SHBG. D3 activates Leydig cells. Boron si.
Athletic Performance
protein, iron, vitamin b12. Protein for MPS. Iron for O2 transport. B12 for RBC production. Nitrates→NO→vasodilation. Electrolyt.
Hypothyroid
selenium, zinc, iron. Thyroid hormone synthesis requires iodine + tyrosine for T4 structure, selenium for T4→T3 conversion.
Hormonal & Metabolic Impact
Cofactor for 5α-reductase (T→DHT). Required for androgen receptor function. Inhibits aromatase (T→estradiol).
Leydig cells have VDR (vitamin D receptor). Vitamin D increases LH sensitivity → more T production. Also modulates aromatase.
Required for T4→T3 conversion (deiodinase enzyme). Selenoproteins protect Leydig cells from oxidative damage.
Dietary saturated fat and cholesterol are steroid hormone precursors. Low-fat diets reduce T by 10-15% in some studies.
Anti-Nutrients & How to Reduce Them
⚠️ Lactose (65% of adults have reduced lactase — varies by ethnicity)
⚠️ Casein (A1 beta-casein may cause inflammation in sensitive individuals)
Mitigation: Lactose-free milk, yogurt (bacteria digest lactose), hard cheeses (minimal lactose). A2 milk (A2 beta-casein only) for casein sensitivity.
Fermented dairy (yogurt, kefir, cheese) is better tolerated. Most people can handle some dairy.
Best Preparation Methods
Ripeness: N/A
Preparation: Soft-boiled/poached (preserves more nutrients). Hard-boiled (oxidizes some cholesterol — minimal impact). Fried (adds cooking oil calories). Raw (avidin binds biotin — cooking neutralizes, salmonella risk).
