Question Lowering Testosterone?

How does one naturally lower their testosterone level.. last time I checked, mine was very high. It was recommended to me to take Vitex, which I did for a period of time.. is that supposed to lower your testosterone? I've also tried licorice tea, but I literally gagged every time. Lol (well, not so funny, hehe :o).

Licorice also comes in capsule form. Also look into spearmint. Exercise helps, too.

Things mentioned on the board:

- Spearmint Tea
spearmint tea lowers testosterone in PCOS women??

- Flax meal
Flaxseed for Lowering Testosterone?

Flaxseed: Can lower testosterone, regulate blood sugar, help with depression


- Decreased body fat If there's an excess(ie healthy, calorie controlled diet + cardio + strength training)
