Anecdotally, as an aggregate, my testosterone levels increase during phases of my life when I do those things.

I suppose I am now required to look up references to support the following statements:

1. exercise without over-training boosts testosterone (maybe some middling results here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00441300 ) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S174360951...

2. Reducing stress increases testosterone http://psycnet.apa.org/buy/2000-13208-002

3. High fat diet increases testosterone https://www.nature.com/articles/4500825 (and probably ref 33)

4. I should have also mentioned that my lifestyle often includes less drinking during these phases https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article-abstract/74/5/957/2875...

5. That i socalize more and skip work more as well. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00441-005-0006-2

and that taken as a whole, I feel more like myself, increasing self esteem, which may itself help. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136466131...

Or you can look for pop blogs. https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/how-to-increase-test...

But of course, I just googled around for a bit to find one-off papers. It's a good starting point if I wanted to write a research paper on it, but I really don't. I wanted to provide my own experience, and have.
