What did @eddieabbew actually say?
Eddie runs through five foods he claims can "boost your testosterone naturally": fatty fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon), eggs, leafy green vegetables, oysters, and beef liver. His framing is confident and personal. He eats beef liver three times a week, his old coach made him blend it and drink it before bed, and he implies that if you eat these foods you won't need steroids. That last part is worth sitting with.
He also takes a shot at ultra-processed food and cereal, which is fair game. The general direction of his advice, eat whole foods with high micronutrient density, is not wrong. But "boost your testosterone naturally" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, and the clinical reality is messier than his list suggests.
Does the science back this up?
Partially, yes. The foods on this list are genuinely rich in nutrients that are required for testosterone synthesis, but "required for" and "will raise your levels" are very different claims. The evidence is strongest for zinc and vitamin D deficiency correction, not for healthy men eating more oysters.
Oysters are the most defensible pick. They are the single richest dietary source of zinc, and zinc deficiency is directly linked to suppressed testosterone. Prasad et al. (1996, Nutrition) showed that zinc supplementation in zinc-deficient men raised serum testosterone significantly. But that effect largely disappears in men who are already zinc-replete. Egg yolks and fatty fish contribute vitamin D and cholesterol, which is the direct precursor to steroid hormones including testosterone. A review by Pilz et al. (2011, Hormone and Metabolic Research) found that vitamin D supplementation raised testosterone in deficient men. Beef liver is genuinely one of the most micronutrient-dense foods available, providing zinc, vitamin D, vitamin A, B12, and iron in meaningful concentrations. The leafy greens claim is the weakest. Magnesium has some supporting data (Cinar et al., 2011, Biological Trace Element Research), but Eddie does not explain the mechanism, he just says they are "good for you," which is vague.
What did they get wrong (or right)?
The biggest problem is the implied effect size. Eddie says eating these foods means you "will not need to take all the steroids that people take." That is not supported by any clinical evidence. If someone has clinically confirmed hypogonadism, meaning low testosterone from a structural or endocrine cause, diet changes will not correct it. Full stop. Dietary optimization can support the low-normal end of the range or correct deficiency-driven suppression, but it is not a treatment for hypogonadism.
He also calls oysters "the most potent superfood on the planet" that "contains everything." Oysters are nutritionally impressive, but they are notably low in vitamin C, fat-soluble vitamins beyond D, and several essential fatty acids. The hyperbole undercuts the legitimate point. Similarly, saying eggs "contain all the vitamins apart from vitamin C" is roughly true but glosses over the fact that amounts vary considerably and bioavailability is not uniform.
What he gets right: removing ultra-processed foods from the diet likely does help. Diets high in refined carbohydrates and seed oils are associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which suppress testosterone (Dhindsa et al., 2010, Diabetes Care). His food list is legitimately micronutrient-dense. That part is solid.
What should you actually know?
If your doctor told you your testosterone is low, diet is one reasonable piece of the puzzle, not the whole answer. The clinical question is why it is low. Low testosterone from zinc or vitamin D deficiency is correctable through diet and supplementation. Low testosterone from primary hypogonadism, pituitary dysfunction, or age-related decline is a different situation that nutrition alone will not fix.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) exists precisely because some forms of hypogonadism do not respond to lifestyle changes. Dismissing medical treatment in favor of beef liver, without knowing the underlying cause, could mean leaving a real hormonal problem untreated for months or years. If your levels are clinically low, work with an endocrinologist or urologist to understand the cause before assuming diet will solve it.
Eddie's advice is not dangerous. The foods he recommends are genuinely healthy. But framing them as a testosterone solution for someone who just received a clinical diagnosis of low testosterone, without any context about severity or cause, sets an expectation the evidence does not support.
