So up guys, Derek, more politicallymoredeeds.com. Today we're going to be talking about the general

0:06.0

trend I've seen in the keto and carnivore communities, this sort of overlap in the lack of

0:14.8

acknowledgement of free testosterone relative to total testosterone level. So something I've noticed a lot is this,

0:22.4

you know, hyper focus on total testosterone levels and a complete lack of acknowledgement of sky high

0:28.5

1:22.5

1:26.8

testosterone levels and they're

you know touting their diets as you know the fucking savior to hormones and it's like i don't i
