6 Endocrine Disruptors That Kill Testosterone

~~~THREAD~~~
ED's are essentially chemicals that mimic certain hormones.

They're found in our every day environment, and are contributing to the ever-declining levels in testosterone in the 21st century.

Here's 6 big ones you'll want to be aware of, and you'll want to eliminate...
Actually before I begin, here's some potential effects of EDs that you should be aware of:

- Oxidative stress
- Poorer testicular function
- Disrupted immune function
- Altered fat cell signalling

Let's try to reduce this garbage:
1. Pesticides

(These will alter your thyroid hormone levels, commonly found in fruits - make sure you wash them properly)

2. Phytoestrogens

(As you may have guessed, these stimulate your estrogen receptors. Just make sure you LIMIT your soy intake.)

Next up:
3. Phthalates

(Found in plastics, water bottles, drinks, air fresheners,
deodorants, perfumes, cleaning products. Phthalates will destroy T production and semen quality. Try to use glasses for water, ceramic dishes in the kitchen, etc.)

Oh, by the way...
I've got a scientific email on phthalates going out in 1 HOUR, you don't want to miss it:

4. UV Filters

(Sunscreen. The guys on Twitter who tell you not to use it are indeed correct. It TENDS to produce estrogenic activity.)

5. BHA & BHT

(Chewing gum. Turns out to be estrogenic, and carcinogenic. Not a good idea, according to several studies.)

Next:
6. Parabens

(Often found in deodorants, and if they enter the body, will mimic estrogen.)

If you're serious about maximising testosterone levels so that you can build a stronger physique & live a higher quality of life, eliminating these will make a BIG difference.
Endocrine Disruptors are an example of how your environment can suppress testosterone levels.

Other key areas include:

- Your diet
- Your sleep
- Your training
- Your overall lifestyle

And I give you the keys to succeeding with all 4, right here:

20 Ways To Boost Testosterone (Naturally)

***A BIG THREAD***
Testosterone levels are going down, not up.

It's bad.

- Men of ALL ages have lower testosterone than 30 years ago
- Men lose 1% testosterone per year beyond age 30

And it's ALL downsides, no upsides.

Let's try & reverse this a little...
1. CUT OUT THE BEER!

Phytoestrogens, alcohol, and the calorie dense/fattening liquid all work together to form a T-killing triumvirate with beer. Not good.

2. CUT OUT THE SUGAR!

Sugar ---> Insulin & Cortisol spike ---> T suppression

THE CHAIR PUSH UPS

This is actually a great exercise.

And all you need is two chairs.

*Make sure you really lower yourself to stretch the pecs properly.

*Weighted bagpacks can be added for progressive overload and faster gains.
I'm going to keep adding to this thread over the next few days or so.

Feel free to retweet it so that people can continue to get fitter, despite what happens with lockdowns.

How To Max Out Your Looks

(A Thread)
Your looks are more critical than most men would like to admit.

The brutal reality of the world is that if you don't look good enough, you just won't get an opportunity in the first place.

Looks come BEFORE everything else.

Here's how to take advantage of this...
CHISELLED FACIAL FEATURES

Trust me when I say this.

But you have NO IDEA whether or not you're good looking, until you've gotten to 10% body fat or lower.

Most men just have too much facial fat covering their masculine features, to have any clue.

Get lean & this changes.

BURNING STUBBORN BELLY FAT

(A Thread)
Stubborn belly fat can be 'stubborn' for a variety of reasons.

- Your genetics
- Your calories aren't low enough
- Your hormones suck
- Your metabolism has dropped too much

A calorie deficit WILL eliminate this eventually, but often it's not realistic.

Let's get into this...
1. Your Calories

You may just be eating too much food.

If you're 160 pounds, yet you're averaging 2500 calories on most days while not doing any cardio, then it's just too much food.

There's nothing wrong with you, you just need to eat nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse foods.

13 Common Diet Mistakes (UNF**K YOUR DIET!)

*THREAD*
1. Only Fasting Occasionally

Huge mistake.

10% body fat doesn't come from fasting when you feel like it. It comes from consistency/dedication to the process.

You've got to make it a lifestyle.

Ask yourself:

"Why do I feel the urge to NOT fast on some days??"
2. Bread

Bread simply makes it harder to lose fat, fuels carb addictions, damages your stomach lining, and spikes your insulin.

Bad news all round.

3. Sweeteners

Also spike your insulin, often quite badly. High insulin = FUTURE disease.

Also terrible for sweet cravings.

LONGEVITY FOR MEN OVER 40

It requires these 4 factors to be on point.

*THREAD*
Longevity doesn't just mean a long life (although that's a part of it).

It means a long life without being plagued by health problems.

Like cancer, diabetes, hormonal issues, heart problems etc.

It means a life of ENERGY & FREEDOM.
#1. Body Fat Percentage

This is the first point that needs to be addressed, and it's the one that's most commonly screwed up.

If you're obese, problems are headed your way.

The stress on your arteries.

The strain on your organs.

It's a ticking time bomb.

There is....
