Baby, It’s Cold Outside: Warmer Temperatures and Modern Lifestyles Lower Testosterone in Men 🧵 1) Once, humans lived in sync with nature, enduring seasonal extremes. But modern living with heating, synthetic clothing, and insulated environments are silently affecting men’s testosterone levels.
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
2) The Science: Testosterone and Temperature The testes need to stay cool (~34°C/93.2°F). This lower temperature protects Leydig cells which are responsible for testosterone production. Elevated temperatures disrupt this process, reducing testosterone levels and impairing sperm health. ( Keep reading for my sources at end of thread)
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
3) How Modern Lifestyles Heat Things Up Constant Heating: Central heating keeps homes at 70°F+ year-round. Historically, people were subjected to cooler temperatures indoors, promoting hormonal balance by preventing excessive heat stress on the testes. Synthetic Fabrics: Unlike breathable cotton or wool, synthetic clothing traps heat, raising scrotal temperatures. Prolonged exposure to warmth can lead to lower testosterone levels over time. Limited Temperature Variation: Men today often travel from heated homes to cars to offices, rarely exposed to the natural temperature swings that historically cooled the body and testes.
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
4) What the Research Says Animal Studies: Elevated temperatures reduce testosterone biosynthesis and damage Leydig cells in rams and rats. For example, Gomes et al. observed a significant drop in testosterone levels in rams exposed to high ambient temperatures. Human Studies: Thwaits et al. found that men exercising in warm environments experienced lower testosterone and higher cortisol, which suppresses testosterone further. Research shows that even moderate heat exposure leads to oxidative stress, reducing hormone production. This doesn’t take into account the constant in and outdoor light at night. I’ll get to how that impacts hormones in another thread.
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
5) Why This Matters Testosterone affects more than fertility as mood, muscle mass, energy, and overall health rely on healthy levels. Modern lifestyles, while convenient, can unintentionally undermine men’s hormonal health. See below for tips to protect against this phenomenon. ⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
6) Practical Steps for Protecting Testosterone from Heat Related Decline 🎯Turn Down the Heat: Reduce indoor heating, especially at night. Cooler sleeping temperatures promote better hormone regulation. 🎯Wear Breathable Fabrics: Opt for cotton, linen, or wool over synthetic materials to allow natural airflow. 🎯Limit Heat Exposure: Avoid prolonged time in hot tubs, saunas, or excessively heated environments. 🎯Get Outside: Exposure to natural temperatures supports the body’s thermoregulation. 🎯Use Fans and Ventilation: Prevent heat buildup in work and living spaces. 🎯 Talk to your naturopathic doctor as this is not meant to be medical advice but is for educational purposes only.

What Are Seed Oils and Why Are They Dangerous? Truth About Seed Oils: How Industrial Waste Became a Common Food Ingredient. "Seed oils" have become a hot topic in health and nutrition circles, but the term is somewhat misleading. What we call "seed oils" - canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, safflower, and sunflower oils - are more accurately described as industrial oils. Unlike traditional fats that can be easily pressed or rendered (think of squeezing an olive or frying bacon), these oils require industrial extraction by heat, pressure, and chemical solvents. The recent controversy stems from a growing awareness of their unusual place in human history: these oils simply didn't exist in human diets before the 20th century because they couldn't. You can't squeeze oil from a cotton seed or a corn kernel in your home kitchen.⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
The Industrial Origins: From Waste to Product to Food Ingredient The history of industrial "seed" oils begins not with meeting a nutritional need but with industrial innovation to find a market for waste products. In the late 1800s, the cotton industry partnered with researchers and industry groups to market cottonseed oil as an ingredient for food and industrial products. When electricity began replacing kerosene lamps, the cottonseed oil industry needed new markets. The solution turned out to be food. Through aggressive marketing campaigns, these cheap and useless byproducts were transformed into what was promoted as "healthy, modern alternatives" to traditional fats. The invention of hydrogenation in 1909 was crucial to this transformation—it allowed these naturally unstable oils to be made solid at room temperature, creating new products such as "shortening" and "margarine" that would forever change commercial baking and home cooking. ⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
The Packaged Food Revolution The food industry's embrace of seed oils was no accident - it was driven by their unique properties that made them ideal for mass production and distribution. These oils were extremely cheap to produce and offered manufacturers unprecedented shelf stability. It also allowed manufacturers to monetize waste products by selling them instead of paying to dispose of them. Their neutral taste meant they could be used in virtually any product, and flavors could be added to cheaply mimic butter or lard. Their high smoke point made them perfect for commercial frying, and the consistent supply chain ensured food companies could maintain steady production year-round. Soon, these products made their way to store shelves and home pantries across the country and the Western world.⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
The War on Traditional Fats Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the seed oil history was how they were marketed from as "heart-healthy" alternatives to traditional fats. This required an unprecedented campaign to discredit traditional fats that had been used for many generations. Industry-funded research began vilifying cholesterol ( good for cells and hormones) and saturated fat while powerful lobbies influenced government dietary guidelines. Marketing campaigns painted traditional fats as old-fashioned and unhealthy, leading to widespread demonization of saturated fats, butter, lard, and tallow. This well-funded effort was so influential that by the 1980s, doctors were actively warning patients against butter and advocating for margarine - advice that many health experts now consider one of the most detrimental mistakes in the history of medical science.⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
Health Implications Concerns about industrial oils and their health impacts date back to the early 20th century., Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist and researcher, observed that traditional societies with diets rich in natural fats had lower rates of chronic illness than those that consumed processed foods and vegetable oils, which were becoming popular in industrialized nations. Dr. Price and other researchers noted that as people shifted from traditional fats (like butter, lard, and animal fats) to industrial seed oils, there was a dramatic increase in chronic diseases such as heart disease and autoimmunity, which had been rare before processed foods became mainstream. ⬇️
@BerryRazi - Phenomenology
Avoiding Industrial Seed Oils in Modern Life Navigating our modern food system built on industrial oils requires conscious effort and awareness. The first step is learning to recognize these oils in their many forms—whether listed as soybean, canola, corn, or simply "vegetable oil" on ingredient labels. Traditional, less processed fats are better alternatives: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, lard, all contribute to a healthier, more natural diet. We have the power of the purse, so to speak to effect change. If we buy products made with industrial seed oils, companies will continue to manufacture and sell them. Supply meets demand. Return to Tradition The history of industrial seed oils illustrates how big agriculture and clever marketing normalized waste products as staple foods. As awareness grows about their origins and health implications, consumers are returning to cooking with healthy, traditional fats. As with many things in life, nature often knows best.
