Simple Hacks for Boosting Testosterone

Pretty much everything in our environment is estrogenic.

The food, water, and air have plastics, phthalates, and other estrogenic compounds floating around in them.

When your estrogen exposure is too high, your androgens fall.

This means that in today’s world, it’s essential for both men and women to focus on increasing their testosterone.

Here are the big three areas you should focus on.

#1 Stop Consuming Estrogen Mimics

This is especially important for women, who are already estrogenized.

I’ve seen women who can’t get pregnant (hormone problems) do detox protocols where they get rid of cosmetics, sunscreen, perfume, and plastics, and afterward they are fertile again.

This is an extremely impactful way to increase your testosterone because it has an inverse relationship with estrogen.

Some of my previous newsletters that can help you do this are:

• Home Detox Checklist

• Eat Insoluble Fiber to Clear Gut Estrogen

• Navigating Plastics

#2 Get Sun and Move

Sunlight exposure, specifically through UVB light, significantly impacts testosterone levels by stimulating the production of Vitamin D.

Make it a habit to get some sun on your body if you want to balance your hormones. Luckily, it is summertime so this will come easily for most.

Exercise skyrockets testosterone release immediately due to the body’s response to stress.

Regular exercise leads to muscle gain, decreased fat mass, and improved metabolic health which all support higher testosterone levels.

Not all exercise is the same—focus on resistance training and HIIT if you’d like to get the androgen-increasing benefits.

#3 Cholesterol and Supplements

Cholesterol 

Cholesterol is a precursor for testosterone, meaning it is the starting building block required to make it.

It is arguably the most impactful thing you can put in your body for increasing testosterone (other than steroids) since your body literally needs it to create testosterone.

Don’t take health advice from Mr. Gates and be afraid of cholesterol. He has man-boobs which is what happens when you have poor hormonal balance.

Eat fatty meat, eggs, full-fat dairy, and organ meats, and enjoy healthier testosterone levels.

Supplements

• Biotin, or vitamin B7 is a potent testosterone-increasing supplement. Giving rats the equivalent of 15mg per day nearly tripled their testosterone according to this study.

• Tongkat Ali has a lot of hype and for good reason. It can increase testosterone in a dose-dependent manner in humans.

• Zinc, or fixing zinc deficiency has been shown to fix low testosterone.

Doing these three things will increase your testosterone levels so you can feel more motivated, be stronger, and have higher libido.

As with all things, focus on cleaning up your terrain first (removing estrogenic chemicals).

Then, start with the basics (sunlight, exercise, cholesterol)

And finally, play optimize things and see if you can derive any extra benefits (supplements).
