[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 267075, member: 15043"] Ya it does seem like guys on full carnivore can see a slight decrease in testosterone. Dr Anthony Chaffee says that he’s never seen this, but I’ve seen a few guys report this, so it can happen. But I‘ve heard it argued that receptors get sensitized on carnivore, and therefore less of a hormone is needed to exhibit the desired effect. Similar to how when in a healthy state, the body can become more insulin sensitive, and less insulin is required to shuttle sugars and nutrients into cells. I’ve also seen men’s thyroid numbers decrease a bit on carnivore, but the same receptor sensitivity theory applies labs aren’t everything. They’re just a diagnostic tool. They tell us nothing about what’s going on at the receptor level. Which is why if someone on carnivore is feeling great, full of energy, zero depression/ anxiety, can gain muscle and lose fat easily, etc., a decrease in certain hormones are basically irrelevant, imo. I’d rather feel and function optimally and have slightly lowered test and thyroid labs, than have higher thyroid and test levels and possibly not feel good mood and energy wise. [/QUOTE]
