I was curious because I had a bunch of bloodwork done and I was very low for
my age in testosterone. He added thyroid hormone, which was in the normal

no higher than .4 -1.0.  The level of thyroid increased on its own after
transition from vegetarian to Paleo. Just a personal observation for what
it's worth.
