Testosterone drives your strength, libido, and metabolism.

But modern life is draining it without your permission.

Low testosterone causes fat gain, brain fog, and burnout.

Want to raise it?

Here are 10 ways to restore it naturally🧵:
1. Cut seed oils

These crush testosterone over time.

A study in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology found men with the highest intake of omega-6 fats had 26% lower testosterone than those with the lowest.

Cut canola, soybean, sunflower.

Use tallow, butter, or olive oil.
2. Lift heavy, not forever

Short, heavy workouts raise testosterone more than long ones.

A 45-minute session of compound lifts boosts T more than training for 90+ mins.

Lift 3x/week.
Squat, press, deadlift.
Keep it brief.
3. Ditch plastics for food

Plastics leach chemicals like BPA that mess with your hormones.

A study in Environmental Health Perspectives found high BPA exposure linked to 20–35% lower testosterone in adult males.

Store food in glass or steel.

Never microwave plastic.
4. Try Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali supports testosterone and lowers cortisol.

A 12-week study in Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition showed 37% increase in T among men supplementing daily.

Stack with zinc or magnesium.
I found a great source of Tongkat Ali.

Consume only half servings and take in the morning so it doesn't affect your sleep.

It's 3rd party tested, good quality, and evaluated for purity.

Here it is:

5. Prioritize deep sleep

Testosterone is made during deep sleep.

Sleeping 5 hours a night can drop T levels by 10–15% after just 1 week.

Sleep 7.5–9 hours.
Cold room.
No screens.
Pitch black.
6. Cut back on alcohol

Alcohol suppresses luteinizing hormone (the signal your brain sends to make testosterone).

It also raises aromatase, which turns T into estrogen.

Even moderate drinking (3–4 drinks/week) has been linked to lower testosterone over time.
7. Fix magnesium and iron

Low magnesium = low free testosterone.

Biological Trace Element Research found magnesium supplementation raised T (especially in active men).

Iron supports oxygen delivery and energy.

Eat liver weekly.
Magnesium glycinate nightly.
I take these Magnesium Glycinate gummies.

They're good quality, 3rd party tested, and very easy to consume.

Try them here:

8. Use cold exposure (down there)

Your testicles make more testosterone when they stay cool.

Too much heat (laptops, tight clothes, saunas) can suppress function.

Brief cold exposure (5–10 mins) may support hormone production.

Cold showers help... but icing is more direct.
9. Walk 10,000 Steps a Day

Walking lowers cortisol, the stress hormone that blocks testosterone.

It also improves blood flow, insulin sensitivity, and mental clarity.

10k steps a day = more energy, better recovery, and a hormonal edge.

Every step counts.
10. Eat red meat and eggs

Testosterone needs zinc, iron, cholesterol, and B vitamins.

Men who ate more meat and eggs had higher total and free T than plant-based eaters.

Eat steak.
Don’t skip yolks.
It’s not dangerous, it’s primal fuel.
If you're looking for a high-quality booster that uses 100% natural and proven sources with NO medications or injections...

I found it.

What happens when your body is severely deficient in magnesium?

These 8 warning signs are more common than you think.

You might realize you’ve been blaming the wrong thing:

1/ You feel emotionally flat…🧵 Image
Image
Why is magnesium so important?

Because magnesium is used in 600+ reactions in the human body.

Yet 50-75% of people are chronically deficient.

Stress, alcohol, poor soil quality, sugar, and caffeine all drain magnesium levels fast...

So watch out for these warning signs:
1/ You feel depressed or emotionally flat.

Magnesium is critical for serotonin function.

No magnesium = poor mood regulation, more depressive episodes, and low resilience to stress.

It’s so potent, some people have called it “nature’s antidepressant.”

Cortisol isn't just a stress hormone.

It kills testosterone, fuels stubborn belly fat, and wrecks your sleep.

Here are 9 natural ways to lower your cortisol starting today (share this)🧵

1. Cold exposure Image
Image
Let’s start with a truth most people miss:

Cortisol isn’t the enemy.

It’s excessive, unregulated cortisol that wrecks your brain, sleep, and fat-burning capacity.

Fix that, and your body stops thinking it’s in a war zone.

Let’s get to work:
1. Cold exposure

Cold shocks the body... but in the right dose, it retrains cortisol regulation.

- Builds stress resilience
- Lowers baseline cortisol over time
- Spikes dopamine 250% (sustained)

Try 30sec-1min at the end of your shower 3-5x a week (not a frozen lake).

If your body’s insulin resistant, it won’t burn fat... it’ll store it.

Most people don’t realize blood sugar habits can matter more than macros.

Here are 10 cheat codes to reset insulin and trigger fat-burning again🧵

1. Walk after every meal Image
Image
Just 10 minutes can slash your glucose spike by 22%.

Why? Your muscles act like sponges, soaking up sugar before insulin has to.

3 short walks a day over 1 intense workout.
2. Eat dinner 2-3 hours before bed.

Late-night eating spikes insulin when your body is primed to store, not burn.

One study showed a 98% higher fat burn rate when dinner was moved earlier.

This is the easiest metabolic win on the planet.

Magnesium glycinate is the most powerful sleep aid no one’s talking about.

One dose calms nighttime anxiety, boosts deep sleep by 30%, and leaves you recharged and clear-headed by morning.

In this thread, I’ll explain how it works and how to use it safely🧵 Image
Image
Magnesium is needed for 300+ enzymatic reactions within your body.

But here’s the real shocker:

Nearly 70% of people are deficient, and most don't know it.

Fatigue, cramps, mood swings, poor sleep?

It might not be burnout... it could actually be a mineral deficiency.
Magnesium is neuroelectric currency.

Your brain uses it to control neurons, fire muscles, and calm your nervous system.

Deficiency? You feel:

- Wired but tired
- Panicked for no reason
- Like your battery won't recharge

Here's what happens if you get enough:

The hidden cause of stubborn belly fat, fatigue, and brain fog:

Insulin resistance.

Warning signs appear long before a diabetes diagnosis.

Here are 5 early signs to watch for (share this with someone you love)🧵

1. Skin tags. Image
Image
1. Skin tags

Insulin triggers excess growth signals to skin cells.

Over time, this creates small raised tags... often on the neck or armpits.

They’re an early warning: your cells are no longer responding well to insulin.

Ignore this, and the next signs get harder to miss...
2. Dark patches on the neck or armpits

High insulin increases activity in pigment cells (melanocytes), creating dark, velvety skin folds.

This change will usually appears before lab markers do.

Once your skin reflects metabolic dysfunction, what's happening inside?

You’re not anxious.

You’re overdosing on your own cortisol.

Here are 9 body-based ways to break the stress loop 🧵

1. Tremoring (aka Neurogenic Shaking) Image
Image
Modern stress isn’t mental.

It’s chemical.

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, it rewires your brain to expect threat... even when none exists.

Your body becomes the source of your fear.

Here’s how to physically interrupt that loop, and reset your nervous system:
1. Tremoring (aka Neurogenic Shaking)

Animals naturally shake after stress. Humans suppress it.

But this trembling discharges stored tension from the nervous system.

Try this: Lie down and let your legs shake freely for 2–3 minutes.

It looks odd. It works fast.
