BOOSTING TESTOSTERONE NATURALLY
Boosting testosterone through training, nutrition, and informed health decisions.
Boosting Testosterone: What to Consider
This article discusses boosting testosterone through resistance training, nutrition, body-composition habits, and environmental considerations. Practical lifestyle choices may support general health, but boosting testosterone should not be confused with diagnosing or treating testosterone deficiency.
As we get older, staying strong, lean, and energized means paying closer attention to what keeps our hormones in check, especially testosterone. High testosterone levels help preserve muscle, reduce fat gain, and slow signs of aging.
Here’s how men of all ages can maintain youthful testosterone levels through simple, natural practices:
WHAT TO DO:
• Strength Train (2–3x per week): Resistance training is one of the most powerful ways to stimulate testosterone production.
• Cold Exposure: Cold plunges or cold showers before workouts may enhance testosterone response and improve recovery.
• Eat for Hormone Support: Prioritize foods rich in magnesium, zinc, omega-3s, and dietary cholesterol.
GOOD CHOICES:
○ Grass-fed beef
○ Pastured eggs
○ Shellfish
○ Sardines
WHAT TO AVOID:
• PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”): Found in plastic cups, containers, and bottled water. These chemicals disrupt hormones and increase estrogen. Use glass instead.
• PUFAs (Seed Oils): Canola, sunflower, safflower, and vegetable oils promote inflammation and lower testosterone.
OPT INSTEAD FOR:
○ Coconut oil
○ Avocado oil
○ Beef tallow
○ Butter
• Phytoestrogens: Found in soy products like tofu and soy milk. These can mimic estrogen and interfere with testosterone.
