THREAD MUSIC:
RULES FOR BUYING THE RIGHT FOODS
- grass-fed, pasture-raised, raw, or organic whenever possible (better micronutrients, less estrogenic shit)
- full-fat, high-cholesterol, and nutrient-dense foods (fuel testosterone & dht conversion)
- low toxicity, easy digestion, and high bioavailability (so your body actually absorbs it)
FYI: primal > pure carnivore
the biggest problem with full carnivore is that it completely butchers igf-1, wrecks glycogen replenishment, and limits nutrient variety. yeah, it spikes dht and test, but it’s not sustainable for long-term hormonal balance. you need strategic carbs to keep thyroid function, recovery, and muscle-building optimal. full carnivore bros are just another cult following the same retarded extreme as vegans, just in the opposite direction.
(2–2.2g per kg of body weight)
RED MEATS
- grass-fed beef (ribeye, sirloin, ground beef, short ribs, oxtail, etc.)
- grass-fed lamb (lamb chops, ground lamb, leg of lamb, etc.)
- pasture-raised pork (pork belly, pork chops, bacon—uncured & nitrate-free)
POULTRY (SECONDARY PROTEIN SOURCES)
- pasture-raised chicken thighs (higher fat, better for dht)
- pasture-raised chicken drumsticks
- duck (higher fat than chicken, better for test)
SEAFOOD
- wild-caught salmon (sockeye, king, or coho)
- sardines (whole, in olive oil)
- wild-caught mackerel
- wild-caught shrimp
- oysters
ORGAN MEATS
- grass-fed beef liver
- grass-fed heart
- grass-fed kidney
- bone marrow

vegetable & seed oils (soybean, canola, sunflower, rapeseed, etc.)→ lowers test, increases estrogen
soy & soy-based products (tofu, soy milk, soy protein)→ phytoestrogens crush dht
processed sugars & high-fructose corn syrup→ wrecks insulin sensitivity & test
alcohol (especially beer)→ converts test to estrogen
processed grains (white bread, pasta, cereal, etc.)→ spikes insulin, lowers test over time
artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, etc.)→ neurotoxic & hormone-disrupting
