How to increase testosterone?

Androgenic steroids are strongly supportive of health, but I would suggest that testosterone specifically is not the most important androgen to increase. DHT and DHEA activity should be given the highest priority.
Cholesterol and zinc are two of the most important “ingredients” for making pregnenolone, the mother steroid, and its downstream metabolite steroids including DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and DHT.
Cholesterol can be made in the liver from sugar, or from myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid found mostly in dairy fat and coconut fat. It can also be consumed directly — raw egg yolks work as I will explain below.
Zinc is found in oysters, beef, and lamb.
Having an adequate LDL cholesterol level is important for producing steroids. One thing which Ray told us can keep the liver from synthesizing cholesterol is excess endotoxin, or other intestinal irritation.
Choline is another necessary nutrient which allows the liver to export its stored fat as LDL. Choline is found in egg yolks and in liver.
Also to see androgens actually having effects on your body it’s important to keep cortisol from becoming elevated. A carbohydrate-based diet is indispensable for keeping cortisol down. Vitamin C is also very necessary for keeping cortisol down. It’s also necessary to have adequate acid/base balance and to limit lactic acid synthesis because another of cortisol’s purposes is to balance excess acidity levels.
I finally tried a starch free diet starting two days ago, eating nothing but Ray’s Orange Julius (fresh squeezed orange juice, milk, raw egg yolk, white sugar, gelatin, and vanilla extract blended together), steak, oysters, cheese, watermelon, grape juice, Haagen Dazs, carrot.
All day yesterday the skin of my face was oily like when I was a teenager. I also found tiny hairs sprouting from the skin of my nose this morning — I haven’t seen that since puberty. Libido was a lot stronger than it has been in years. I have been calm and optimistic with almost no anxiety compared to my baseline. If these things taken together don’t indicate a strong rise in androgenic activity then I don’t know what does.
I’ve tried a low PUFA, high sugar diet before but never with this result. I noticed a strong positive effect after starting to incorporate oysters a few weeks ago, but the addition of raw egg yolks and the omission of starch had a VERY pronounced effect, as if they were the last missing ingredient in my case.
