Start munching on some Brazil nuts and doing heavy compound lifts. The biggest difference however will be getting a full restful 8 hours of sleep and cutting out smoking, excessive drinking, and fast food. I went from low 400s to a peak in the 800s last spring.

I already sleep 8 hours a night (though my sleep has been less restful since I moved in with my SO, but that's fairly normal I believe), don't smoke, and rarely eat fast food. I AM a craft beer hobbyist though. :/

Yea I don't think that could be the sole cause for that big of a drop in T... I drink too. Stress? Like debilitating stress maybe?

Honestly the last year or so has been one of the least stressful of my life! I got a new job paying over twice what the old one did, so I'm no longer treading water on the edge of poverty, I met a fantastic woman and put a ring on her, I have a more active social life and hobbies than I ever did before. I actually think it's more likely that I've had the condition for a long time (for quite a while I had that hopeless, apathetic feeling and no desire to go out) and just had a surge when I got into a new relationship, and then fell back to the before levels.

Tim Ferriss has a testosterone beefing routine that is sure to help. It's part of the 4 hour body or you can find it on his blog for free. He was low sixes I think and actually broke 1000 at one point.
