You’re Sabotaging Your Testosterone
Real Talk on Fasting, Hormones, and the Silent Fuel Behind Cancer
When did it become normal to find every solution in a needle or a pill?
We’ve all seen the commercials:
“Feeling tired all the time? Foggy? Irritable? Lost your edge—and your desire?
You could be suffering from Low T!”
They’re not wrong—but they leave out the part that actually matters:
You’ve spent most of your life eating and drinking things that quietly destroyed your testosterone and wrecked your immune system—because someone told you it was healthy.
You’ve been convinced to follow advice that was built to pacify you, not strengthen you.
Seed oils. Refined carbs. Sugar.
Margarine instead of butter. “Vegetable oil” instead of animal fat.
Six meals a day. No fasting. Keep the blood sugar “stable.”
All of it sold to you as a healthy lifestyle, yet it’s really wrecking your hormones and your body from the inside out.
This wasn’t an accident. It was a slow, deliberate process that started in the 1950s.
They demonized real food and real fats.
They pushed grains, cereals, artificial junk.
By the time seed oils hit your plate, testosterone had already started its decline among men—all in the name of convenience and profit!
It’s been a vicious cycle. We’ve sabotaged our own bodies, and now we are setting our children up for failure with the same nonsense—especially our young boys. Isn’t it strange that here lately younger and younger men are suffering from Low T? Maybe it’s time to ask why instead of just assuming it’s natural.
Do you really believe you started getting soft and out of shape just because life got busy?
No—you’re running on fake fuel and synthetic food, and your body’s shutting down because it knows it doesn’t like or trust what you’re feeding it.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what those seed oils—canola, soybean, corn, safflower, sunflower—are doing to you:
They oxidize fast, which in turn creates internal inflammation.
Inflammation then crushes your testosterone. It blocks your ability to recover, repair, and focus.
These oils were never originally intended for our bodies—they were a waste by-product that they figured out how to market and now they wreck your cell membranes and mess with how your body uses insulin.
And they’re often stored in your fat cells for months, doing damage long after you stop eating them.
And let’s talk about processed sugar—because most people are addicted to it like a drug, and it wrecks your body in a different, but just as brutal way:
It spikes your insulin constantly, which locks your body into fat storage mode.
High insulin keeps your testosterone low, raises estrogen, and feeds chronic inflammation.
It also feeds cancer cells—literally. Many tumors have extra insulin receptors and thrive in a high-glucose environment.
And like seed oils, sugar addiction dulls your mental edge, fogs your thinking, and keeps you emotionally reactive.
So you’re not just feeling off.
You’re actually causing yourself to self-destruct from the inside out, and that feeling sucks!

The “Fix” They Offer You is a Lifetime Subscription
So now that they’ve created the problem—isn’t it funny how TRT clinics are popping up on every corner?
You feel off? No problem—they’ll shoot you full of testosterone and call it “balance.”
What they don’t tell you is this:
The second you start injecting T, your own production continues to shut down even faster until it just stops completely.
Why? Because your body gets the signal it doesn’t need to produce it anymore.
So you’re not getting a “boost.”
You’re becoming dependent on big pharma—and all the while they keep getting richer.
Granted, some guys are so wrecked or have medical issues and actually benefit from it. That’s fine and I think it has its place.
But most of us were never taught how to get our bodies working on their own again—without taking a drug to replace what it can do naturally.
Why? Because there’s no profit in that.

So Here’s Why I Made the Change and What I Actually Did to Get My Body Back Under Control
This wasn’t a theory for me. It became a personal battle that I refuse to lose!
After they found prostate cancer attacking my body, they convinced me to chemically castrate my testosterone with mild hormone therapy and eventually convinced me to remove my prostate.
After surgery, I refused to continue killing my testosterone, stopped taking the hormone restricting drugs, and went back to my normal way of life and eating—because I thought I knew how to eat healthy and stay in shape.
After 9 months, my PSA started creeping back into the detectable range and my body ballooned up by 30 extra pounds.
I was mad and frustrated, so I started digging into what was really going on. That’s when I figured out I was sabotaging myself with what I was eating and how often I was eating it.
It seemed like I was actually feeding the cancer, so I made a promise to myself that I would fix it naturally and get my body back under control.
The doctor figured I was just in denial and that I would eventually agree to radiation and to kill my testosterone again, but that’s not what I wanted and I knew in my heart that I was really just taking back control—because I figured it couldn’t hurt to try—it sure couldn’t be worse than what he was suggesting!
I kicked it off with a 72-hour fast—no easing in. Salt, water, black coffee. That snapped the cravings, reset my body, and gave me back control.
From there, I locked into a regular fasting rhythm: 16:8 daily, 24-hour fasts once a week, a 48-hour monthly fast, and a 72-hour fast quarterly.
I also cut all the junk out of my diet.
I dropped seed oils, processed sugar, and constant snacking.
No more glucose spikes. No more mental fog. No more softness.
I switched to beef tallow, butter, and extra virgin olive oil.
No canola, soybean, or any of that other supposed “heart-healthy” nonsense.
The results: I lost over 40 pounds. My PSA went back to being undetectable. And my testosterone was back up in the normal range.
And let’s not ignore the elephant in the room as to why I believe this worked: while researching this I found out that sugar and processed carbs actually feed cancer cells.
That’s not some crazy conspiracy theory—it’s been shown in metabolic studies for decades (based on research from institutions like Johns Hopkins and MIT).
So when I cut them out, I wasn’t just fighting insulin resistance or mental fog—
I was starving the very cells that once tried to take me out.

What Actually Happens In Your Body During a Fast
You’re not “starving.” You’re switching systems.
You’re flipping the metabolic switch from glucose to ketones and forcing your body to use what it stored instead of demanding more.
(I’ll be the first to say, I’m not a doctor, and I’m not giving medical advice. This is information I found out during my research and I’d recommend you research it further yourself to get a better understanding of the benefits of fasting.)
At 16 hours:
Insulin drops significantly.
Your body starts accessing fat stores for energy.
Growth hormone begins to increase.
Autophagy begins—your cells start cleaning themselves out.
(Autophagy is your body’s built-in cleaning and repair system. Damaged or malfunctioning cells, like cancer cells, get broken down and recycled for fuel.)
At 24 hours:
Inflammation markers start to decline.
Your body shifts deeper into fat-burning.
Human growth hormone can surge up by 1000–2000%.
Mental clarity improves as your brain runs on clean ketones.
At 48 hours:
Your body starts increasing stem cell activity.
Ghrelin (your hunger hormone) begins to settle down.
Inflammation drops dramatically.
Testosterone and LH (luteinizing hormone) begin resetting if you’ve cleared insulin resistance.
At 72+ hours:
Immune system cells begin regenerating.
Deep autophagy resets gut and liver function.
Insulin sensitivity resets.
Your hormonal base has now been cleaned up—especially if you’ve cut seed oils and sugar.
You don’t need to guess how to “feel like yourself again” or search for a cure in a needle or pill.
You just need to make a conscious decision to stop eating from the enemy’s table and give your body the reset it’s been screaming for.

If You Want to Make a Change for the Better, That’s Great—Just Don’t Be an Idiot About It
You need to know where you stand medically, and if you’re on insulin or managing a serious medical condition then you need to work with a doctor and explain your goals.
Remember, fasting drops blood sugar fast. If you’re taking meds and don’t adjust for it, you can crash—so talk to your doctor.
And as I said previously, I’m not a doctor and I’m not giving medical advice.
I just know what worked for me after I made the choice to change my life for the better.
So if you’re going to do this, own it fully and talk to your doctor—especially one who understands the benefits of fasting and gets what you want to accomplish.

How to Start Without Overthinking It
Cut every oil that comes in a plastic jug.
Use tallow, butter, or cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil instead.
Stop eating processed sugars.
Eat real food—steak, eggs, liver, salmon, sardines.
Fast at least 16 hours a day to start.
Walk, row, bike, or run daily.
Lift heavy—another proven way to increase testosterone and improve bone health.
Sleep like it matters.
And every few months, push a longer fast.
Get quiet. Get sharp. Clean house.
⸻
This isn’t about willpower over your cravings and food.
It’s the willpower to take control of your life and health and refuse to be sucked further into the void by big pharma’s trap that they have your solution in a shot or a pill to make you feel like a man again.
Stop believing the lies and start being honest with yourself.
You were made to lead. To carry weight. To think clearly and act decisively.
None of that comes from seed oil, sugary breakfasts, and all-day grazing.
You don’t need more supplements.
You need less garbage and more space to reset.
Fast intentionally and regularly. Eat like a man again.
Train like it matters. Own your decisions. Make them count.
Your testosterone isn’t gone.
It’s just buried under bad habits you were never built for.
Dig it out—and light the fire again.
I will most certainly reach out if I have questions. Thanks Allen!
Appreciate this Allen. At 51 I'm trying to do many of these things on the list. Thanks for sharing your story. Also love the way you write. It's blunt, unapologetic, and altogether encouraging. Thank you.
