Don't be confused
t3 is downstream of t4
Pregnenolone is not downstream bc it's the first
Testosterone continues converting but is downstream of pregnenolone.
Ok but you asked if thyroid and preg are cop outs in comparison to testosterone. I described them further upstream and more fundamental. You're free to differ.
On earth you work with actual information to reach rational conclusions. We should all aspire to get there
I'll stick with my original answer to OPs question. But thank you for your thoughts on testosterone recommendations and what constitutes manly things.

I would make the case for a sense of humour. Definite sarcasm as you didn't ask.

Thyroid hormone is not "upstream" of testosterone. It has it's own stream as either t4 or t3. It doesn't share a stream with testosterone. Testosterone is downstream of some hormones and upstream of others just like progesterone and they share a stream.
I'm nitpicking thinpicking but whatever

I'm not talking about synthesis. Only that if you're not cooking ATP then the golden goose isn't much use. There is crosstalk between those systems, but still. If you're metabolically well, eating plenty of sat lipids and the other goods, testosterone ought to be where it needs to be.
-
@ThinPicking But then it's like your saying anything that effects hormones like testosterone is upstream.
So exercise increases hormones and therefore exercise is upstream because it effects a stream.
I know what you meant though. Fine fine
-
This is what people usually mean by upstream or downstream
I'm sorry I wrecked the thread.
-
This is also a stream

His love of painting, art and poetry
His recommendation of progesterone
A preference for an introspective, reflective thoughtful life
Your title question is about what he believed
But
Your text above is about who he was
So im unsure of what you are askingI comment to point out
Have you seen his subjects of a majority of his artwork?
Naked womenHe was a man who found beauty in women
Extremely “androgenic” although nothing to do with mass or hair etc

Well I guess Jacob was preferred by God to Esau. So there's that.
