Testosterone is the chief male sex hormone that regulates fertility, muscle mass, fat distribution, and red blood cell production. When testosterone levels drop below healthy levels--due to a crappy diet, environmental toxins, disrupted sleep, etc--you can expect conditions like hypogonadism (aka small balls) or infertility. It can be extremely disheartening having a lowercase t, but if you follow these top 5 lifestyle habits, your T will remain capital in no time!
1. EAT A DIET RICH IN HEALTHY FATS
Fats are the building blocks to hormones. Without a diverse AND balanced array of essential fatty acids in your diet, you can expect your testosterone to plummet faster than a slinky on a staircase. Key fatty acids to put your microscope on are omega-3s which are primarily found in fatty coldwater fish like wild caught sardines and salmon and 100% grass-fed and finished beef. I recommend diminishing the intake of omega-6s simultaneously as you increase your levels of omega-3s so you can hit that healthy ratio of 4:1 omega-3 to 6.
2. COUNT SHEEP FOR 7-9 HOURS NIGHTLY
We all know sleep in critical because we do it 1/3 of our lives... but don’t actually count sheep for 7-9 hours, guys. That might drive you bonkers in a matter of minutes and kindle some fight or flight vibes. Sleeping 7-9 hours statistically has been proven to increase testosterone by over 10-15% in men versus sleeping 5 hours a night. Long-term can cause a whole hell of a lot of issues in us men, like mood swings, no libido, and worst of all, small balls. If you are having trouble centering your sleep, check this blog out over the top sleep nutrients and supplements to hit the sack quick! (no pun intended, weirdo).
3. SOAK UP SUNSHINE... NAKED?
Sunlight energy is quite healing for every human, but did you know it has a direct effect on your level of testosterone circulating through your veins? Yup. That is another reason red light therapy aka Photobiomodulation (PBM) found here in this blog I wrote has been proven to upregulate testosterone production when exposed on your testicles and full body! PBM mimics mother nature or mother sunlight in many ways. With this in mind, I wish it were acceptable to walk around my front yard on a bright and sunny summer day butt naked to reap these benefits, but alas, you’ll have to find some privacy next time you want to tan naked (TMI: most sunny mornings I do indeed lay out on my secluded back deck in the sun ~ 100% naked ~ to get the testosterone-boosting (and full-body even-toned tan) benefits from those photons, and let me tell ya, I feel charged up after 30 min - an hour out there!).
4. LIFT HEAVY SH!T
Picking up heavy weights (without killing yourself) upgrades your manhood in minutes. There is a massive shift in testosterone when you tap into this animalistic realm of conditioning; hence why it's WAY easier for men to pack the density versus women because we have more test innately. However, even after lifting heavy weights and focusing on hypertrophy (aka muscle building) testosterone can upregulate that much more afterwards. You’re probably not gonna like me telling you this unless you are already a gym junkie, but leg day is the best day for boosting T. Squats and deadlifts are the most potent movements in boosting your T (just look it up). Sorry guys, chest day and bench doesn’t accelerate your manliness as much as a heavy 300lb+ back squat. If you’re stumped on how to go about a muscle-building, T-boosting program, schedule your FREE clarity call with Christian here (it takes a couple minutes).
5. TAKE T-BOOSTING SUPPS
My favorite ways to boost testosterone starts from WITHIN, hence why I make this somewhat band-aid approach last on the list: Supplements. They are called “supplements” for a reason. They are NOT meant to replace any daily ritual in truly boosting T long-term and sustainably. If you want to boost your T naturally in supplemental form AFTER tapping into the first 4 on this list, get some Shilajit, Purium Power Shake, Super Life Formula, or even some Magnesium Breakthrough! These all are phenomenal at taking your T to the next level. You can also check out this blog here for some others.
