ESOTERIC TIPS TO RAISE TESTOSTERONE
Testosterone is tanking and society is mirroring its decline.
Don't even think about doing TRT until you try these things:

Don't even think about doing TRT until you try these things:
1. Sun your balls.
You all know the drill.
Every cell & organ can benefit from the sun, especially the testes.
Mitochondria need red / NIR to function optimally. UV light stimulates vitamin D which is critical for T production.
Let the sun shine where the sun don't shine.

2. Vitamin A
Vitamin A is one of the rate limiting steps in T synthesis. Vitamin A combines with thyroid and cholesterol to produce pregnenolone, a ptrecursor to T.
No vitamin A, no testosterone.
Eat liver.

3. B vitamins
Testosterone synthesis is energy intensive and requires adequate NAD to shuttle electrons to the ETC.
Niacinamide intake (b3) can help to boost NAD levels.
The other b vitamins are critical for thyroid health and lowering prolactin.

4. Vitamins E and K2
Vitamin E is an estrogen antagonist. Estrogen blocks the signal to produce testosterone.
Vitamin k2 activates osteocalcin, which signals to your leydig cells in your testes to produce T.

5. Exercise
Short, explosive, hard sets are the best to maximize T.
But do not overexercise.

6. Lose body fat
Body fat increases aromatase, turning Testosterone into estrogen.
Dad bods are the least manly thing in the world.

7. Cut out seed oils & soy
The two biggest endocrine disruptors in the environment. Seed oils block binding of the androgens to the receptor and are estrogenic. Soy is incredibly estrogenic too.

8. Do not drink tap water
Fluoride and pesticides in tap water are pretty much irradiating your gonads.
Drink heavily filtered reverse osmosis or distilled water instead (make sure to remineralize)

9. Optimize thyroid
T3 is a cofactor for testosterone synthesis, along with vitamin A. We have an epidemic of low thyroid today.
If your waking body temp is below 98 and doesn't rise to 98.6 throughout the day, low thyroid is likely a major cause of your low T

10. Butter & saturated fatty acids
Longer chain saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid are steroidogenic and anabolic. They are in animal fats and butter.

11. Eat cholesterol
Cholesterol is a precursor to testosterone. Vince Gironda said that eating 2-3 dozen eggs per day was similar to an anabolic cycle.

12. Sleep well
- sunlight in the am
- some fruit with salt before bed
- dark and cold room
- same bedtime nightly

13. Zinc & magnesium
Magnesium is a cofactor for many of the enzymes required to make testosterone.
Some that it's involved in include: 3β-HSD, 17β-HSD and cAMP.
I take mag glycinate pills daily.
Zinc is anti estrogen, pro dopamine, pro testosterone. Eat oysters & steak.

14. Lower stress
Stress is one of the biggest T killers. It upregulates aromatase, increasing estrogen. It also slows down metabolism, reduces T3, and lowers T production.
Meditation, grounding barefoot and deep breathing helps.

15. Do not eat anything that irritates your gut
The gut and testicles are interconnected.
When endotoxins from the gut make their way into the bloodstream they inhibit LH release, which lowers T synthesis. They also inhibit the enzymes that make T.

16. Caffeine
Caffeine stimulates cAMP promoting sTAR and testosterone synthesis. It also aids the liver with detox of estrogen.
Coffee drinkers tend to have higher T than non coffee drinkers.

17. Chop wood
"one hour of tree chopping resulted in a 48 per cent increase in salivary testosterone levels in all men"

18. Orange Juice & pomegranate juice
A flavonoid in orange juice, naringenin, has been shown to lower estrogen and protect against the toxic effects of BPA.
Pomegranate juice in other studies has been shown to significantly boost testosterone

19. Honey
Chrysin from raw honey boosts T.

20. Raw milk & beef testicles
Raw milk is not only an incredibly nutritious foods, it also testosterone in it and many of the precursors
Same goes for beef testicles. They're a great source of many vitamins, but also high in preformed versions of the hormones.

21. Pine pollen
Pine pollen has phytotestosterones, plant compounds that bind to your androgen receptors.

22. MOOOOOO in public
Have more fun.

23. quit your shitty job
There's nothing worse for your health than a sh*tty job. The stress, the lack of control over your life, the monotonous routine...all of these things destroy your testosterone and drive. No amount of money is worth it.
