The digit ratio is influenced by testosterone in the womb while the fetus is forming. Testosterone also impacts other features such as in the brain. For example testosterone increases myelin sheaths on axons (protective against multiple sclerosis which is far more common in females than males) and other far-reaching effects.
However, fetal exposure doesn't tell you how much your own body is currently producing.

I did it for a mind/spirit reset (not religious) so I do not recommend it for 7 days at a time unless you are in the right frame of mind and your intentions for fasting are clear. I could never fast that long before because my intentions were not clear and it was a struggle. That time I didn't even think of food and was not bothered a bit. I didn't feel any hunger the first couple of days either which is what I felt by the second day when I had tried it before. I want to do it again soon.
I intermittent fast every day and have pretty consistently for years. Not for any health benefits or diet plan though. I just don't eat until late and I only eat once a day which feels more natural to me.
I have had my testosterone tested about a year ago, but it doesn't mean so much without other markers like free and albumin bound testosterone.
Here is an interesting article for people who would perhaps like to experiment with their bodies https://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/...one-naturally/
Impressive. My longest fast is about 40 hours, spiritually it's good for you. I hear it's good for the body too, but I haven't looked too much into it though.Quote:

I have pcos
NOooOo pcos is like the asburgers for women
I have not, yet. I should. When I'm on a cycle I know they are high. When I go off it crashes for about 12-16 weeks. I had pretty high levels as a teen and wicked bad (BAD) acne all over.
When on a cycle my moods actually don't balance out they become more chaotic which is fine with me because as you get older feeling 'anything' is fewer and far between so you jump at the chance.
What does level out is my thought process and my response to stressfull triggers. In that regard I feel calm, focused, present, very confident. Other people's problems feel small and easily manageable. I feel kind to woman and feel a greater desire to be helpful, considerate and level headed. I also feel the same way towards men and children, except on cycle this attitude is amplified.
I naturally have a strong temper, yet on cycle this diminishes. I do not feel better, nor superior. I do not feel as though a person, man or woman 'belongs' anywhere, except where their karma and merits put them. Believing otherwise I recognize as cultural indoctrination, probably stemming from socially acceptable sociopathy.
Men are meant to have testosterone. But stating that cruelty, violence, and superiority stem from this hormone places the blame on the wrong aspect and takes it away from the real causation, which is the individual's upbringing, personal history, and psycology.
We don't tear down our daughters. We don't tear down our Mothers and our sisters because they are not creatures filled with testosterone. Get over yourselves and get off the collective sociopath train.
It is nature's way of saying your family line had a nice run kid but there is enough of your dna in the world.Quote:

If you are taking any prescription drugs, do some research and see if they affect endocrine function.
Most testosterone deficiencies are caused either by poor nutrition, or something you have put into your body which shouldn't be there.
Women help a lot. :) To have feeling and relations.

We have found the following: (a) smokers had significantly higher TT and FT levels compared to nonsmokers, even after stratification as per age, BMI, triglycerides and alcohol consumption.
But, that withstanding, we shouldn't be smoking. It puts into perspective if anything, what is to be gained from a little increase if your blood results are normal-ish anyway. PS - I'd probably rather do steroids than smoke for a testosterone increase, hmmm I wonder if that could be a new marketing campaign for tobacco companies: take nicotene, increase testosterone, ha.

We found that former smokers had similar levels of SHBG, TT and FT as never smokers both prior to and after adjusting for age, BMI, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, alcohol consumption and estradiol levels (data not shown). It appears that the effects of cigarette smoking on testosterone levels are reversed upon smoking cessation.
Would imply otherwise.
My own 'hunch' if you will, is that it's not necessarily the case for a few reasons, increased estradiol (estrogen derivative) in men can cause increased aggression which can be associated with risk taking, people who drink a lot tend to have lower testosterone, due to the estrogen in hops and the breakdown of alcohol, and hard drinking is also associated with risk taking.
More likely it's that people who do these things, drink, smoke etc, take more risks because they're risk takers, or less regard for their health/future etc so they do more 'risky things.' So my hunch overall is that it's biochemical.
But, overall testosterone level in men is dropping by the generation, possibly due to the increased use of plastics, but also maybe smoking has a factor? Since smoking level is dropping in people by the generation.
No one really knows though. I'm not really one for sweating it personally, i've not got any symptoms I'm aware of and had my T level tested as part of other stuff about a year ago. It was normal physiological range but higher than average for my age group.
Much of this I'm working from memory though, I took a brief interest in it before, and somehow I posted longer there than I intended too haha.
I don't know about t, but my gender feels all over the place. When I'm horny I feel like a normal animalistic red-blooded male. But if I'm in love, it feels more womanly and feminine like a pop song. I can't say it feels 'exactly in the middle' cuz that isn't right either. I feel like a freak often because I was never feminine enough to be a str8 woman and I was never mathculine enough to be part of the 'bros' you know... so I always felt kind of alone because of gender issues in a sense. I've wanted to be a drag queen for years, though I know it turns off most other gay guys because they just want a dude that's 100% masculine. But fuck that heteronormative bullshit to be honest, I don't think I want a guy who is totally masculine either. Basically when I see a tender feminine heart I want to make love to it emotionally but when I see a hot masculine guy I just want to instinctively hump him... ideally they'd be brewed together in interesting ways.
