Lots of great questions sent in for this Q&A with Karen; Livia Hi Karen! I've been looking all over for info on increasing testosterone. Mine has been incredibly low. I'm 34, not menopausal, been eating keto for years, I've tested when I did carnivore a year ago and again and still low. I eat lots of red meat, liver. Not sure what else to do. DHEA was in "normal" range and so were B vitamins. Is there anything I'm missing?
