How much does alcohol and/or a bad diet lower testosterone levels?

I figure there is no study on this, but if a person drank heavily for a couple months, ate a lot of sugary foods, and didn’t workout..how far would his test levels drop?


Let’s say this person was working out and eating right prior to his binge of crappy lifestyle choices and his T level was “normal” at 600. What could the above do to him?


A reverse to the question is how much can an avg person boost their T levels naturally if they are eating like crap and drinking a lot of alcohol/drugs?

Anyones guess as to how much ones testosterone levels would be impacted.

Extreme dieting, low fat diets, lack of quality sleep, over training, excess stress (physical/mental), alcoholism, drug abuse, certain prescription meds can all negatively impact ones testosterone levels.

If we are assuming one had TT levels of 600 along with a healthy FT than the above factors can lower ones levels but how much is hard to say.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
