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.

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.

No matter how healthy you eat...

Your body won’t recover if your sleep is off.

Most people overlook the small changes that unlock real rest and full recovery.

So here are 8 that actually work 🧵 Image
Image
1. Keep your bedroom under 19°C

Your core temp must drop ~1°C to fall into deep sleep.

A cool room supports this drop.

In one NIH study, people in 19°C rooms had more stable REM and less waking during the night.
2. Avoid blue light at night

Screens trick your brain into thinking it's daytime.

Even 2 hours of late-night screen exposure can suppress melatonin by up to 50%.

Use blue light filters or wear amber glasses after 8PM.

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:

Your brain has a secret detox system that activates when you sleep:

The Glymphatic System.

When clogged, it traps toxins tied to Alzheimer's, brain fog & memory loss.

99% of people don't know it exists.

Here's how to activate it & protect your brain🧵 Image
Image
In 2012, scientists discovered something that stunned the medical world:

The brain has a hidden plumbing system.

One that only activates when you're asleep.

And if it's disrupted?

You slowly and silently start losing clarity, memory, & mental sharpness.
It's called the Glymphatic System.

And it may be the most important biological discovery in neuroscience this century.

Think of it as your brain’s trash disposal unit.

It flushes out toxic waste that if left, accelerates brain aging and disease.

But here's the twist:

If your blood sugar spikes all day, your fat-burning switch stays off.

Most people stay stuck here for years without realizing it.

So here are 10 ways to reset blood sugar and unlock fat-burning again🧵

1. Start your day with protein, not sugar. Image
Image
1. Start your day with protein, not sugar

Most people start the day spiking insulin (cereal, toast, or a smoothie).

A high-protein breakfast (30g+) increases GLP-1, stabilizes glucose, and reduces cravings for 24 hours.

Think eggs, not instant oatmeal.
2. Walk after every meal

Just 10 minutes post-meal lowers blood sugar spikes by up to 30%.

Why it works:

It triggers GLUT-4 activation in muscles, pulling glucose from your bloodstream without needing insulin.

Less insulin = more fat-burning.

Berberine is the most underrated metabolic enhancer on Earth.

It boosts fat metabolism, balances glucose, and curbs cravings.

I took it daily for 30 days...

What it did for my metabolism and body changed everything🧵: Image
Image
Berberine is a natural compound found in plants like barberry and goldenseal.

But what’s wild is how well it mimics the effects of metformin (a prescription drug used for Type 2 diabetes).

Yet, it does this naturally.

So how does it work?
Berberine activates AMPK. An enzyme known as the "metabolic master switch."

AMPK improves how your cells use glucose, increases fat burning, and enhances mitochondrial function.

It’s like a full-body reset button.

Let's talk a bit about blood sugar:
