The great scourge of modernity is watching man derelict in his duties as man.
Hardly surprising when men’s average testosterone count has dropped more than fifty percent in fifty years.
Here’s a quick list of things that you can do to turn the tide AND BOOST YOUR TESTOSTERONE!
- Compound multi-joint exercises, squats, deadlift, bench press, heck, even pushups will do in a pinch.
- Substitute with zinc (ideally ZMA), it’s the main rate limiting factor in testosterone production in athletically trained men.
- Sleep more, minimum eight hours.
- Vitamin D 8000iU per day or an hour in the sun shirtless.
- More saturated fats, less PUFA.
- Competition, even seeing your sports team win on TV or watching your politician win causes a statistically significant increase in Test. Better to punch a friend in the face with boxing gloves yourself though.
- Substitute with Boron (some crazy people actually take Borax) I would never suggest such a thing. Heaven forefend.
- Substitute with creatine monohydrate.
- Avoid plastics, bisphenol A, etc.
- Avoid heat printed receipts from shops, wash hands after contact (Phytoestrogens).
- Soy is debatable in the literature. But anecdotally… Best to avoid I’d say.
- Eat more onions and garlic. Raw. These were actually rationed in the original Olympic Games. Also read about how many times they’re mentioned in the Bible.
- Avoid stress. It’s maybe the end times so y’know… But try.
- Feel like a badass. Unironically belief is downstream of physiology. Silverback gorilla realizes he’s the boss? Changes colour. True story. Epigenetics is wild.
