  Hey @Naveed Aslam,

  I’ve touched on this in your other question, but in short, sure! Chronic stress can cause low testosterone. The body prioritizes survival above reproduction!

  @Naveed Aslam if you want to understand the mechanism better, I touch on how high stress/cortisol impacts many hormones including testosterone HERE in the Adrenal Balance course.
