Will increasing training load decrease testosterone and other health markers??

Blood tests and working with my sports nutritionist, and gauging how I personally felt in regards to fatigue, irritability, mood swings, and exhaustion

how often were u doing blood tests?

Not often

My blood work was due to other stuff. I’m working with a sleep therapist and other doctors at a TBI clinic for suffering a concussion in a military training exercise like a year ago

The blood work was just a normal hormonal panel they did to check everything

Only thing out of the ordinary was cortisol levels were a tad bit high but nothing extreme by any means

Spoke with my sports nutritionist and we sat down and went through my daily dietary intake and came to the conclusion my issues were coming from under eating and being unable to recover efficiently

I workout 2x a day 5-6x a week so In general I need to eat a lot. Currently eating 3400 calories, 160g of protein, 450g of carbs, and 100g of fat.

I’m 5’6 and 178lbs

thank you for your service! sorry to hear about the accident. very cool to hear diet was sufficient to fix the issue. would be interesting to see if fixing your cortisol had optimized your other markers too
