2. Female here - but I had a similar issue with cholesterol.

I had a test where the numbers were high enough that the doctor wanted to put me on meds for it. But when I read about the side effects, I was not happy at all.

I did a lot of research online about how to lower it naturally, and about how long it takes to correct it. I asked for 3 months to try a lifestyle change, then got retested. My numbers went from high risk to optimal in 90 days.

I know there are ways to boost testosterone naturally, I might try with a site like this: http://fitandstrongdads.com/14-tips-to-naturally-increase-your-testosterone-levels/ and do more research from there. I think I read more about the carbs and testosterone connection in the 4 Hour Body, but I didn't retain that since it didn't apply to me.

So yeah, for me, any time I think I might be able to fix something nonurgent (not talking cancery stuff here) with a natural approach to avoid drugs with side effects, I would try that - but retest to verify my new approach is actually accomplishing something.
