What affects testosterone
Testosterone levels are influenced by:
- Sleep duration and quality (low sleep = lower T)
- Exercise (resistance training boosts T)
- Stress (chronic stress suppresses T)
- Body fat percentage (excess fat lowers T)
- Alcohol consumption
- Nutrition and micronutrients
How to track the connection
Enable Sleep, Exercise, Weight, Stress, and Alcohol trackers. Log daily. If you get testosterone blood tests, note the results and compare them against your lifestyle data from the preceding weeks.
