Increase Cholesterol: Do not lower cholesterol; it's a precursor for testosterone.
Statins Caution: Statins can block cholesterol and lower testosterone. Research the cause of high cholesterol instead of just treating symptoms.
2. Protein Intake
Moderate Protein: Aim for 6-8 ounces of protein per meal (e.g., steak, hamburger).
Avoid Excess Protein: Too much protein can lead to tiredness as it converts to glucose, increasing insulin and blocking testosterone.
Resources: Additional information on protein available in other videos.
3. Carbohydrate Consumption
Low Carb Diet: Reducing carbs helps keep insulin low, enhancing testosterone and other hormones (e.g., growth hormone).
4. Exercise
High-Intensity Interval Training: This type of exercise can boost testosterone but avoid overtraining.
Long Walks: Recommended to lower cortisol, especially if sleep is insufficient.
Intermittent Fasting: Enhances growth hormone, which positively influences testosterone levels. Frequent meals can increase insulin and suppress testosterone.
5. Sleep
Importance of Sleep: Essential for keeping cortisol and estrogen levels low. Elevated cortisol lowers testosterone.
Avoid Soy Products: Especially soy protein isolates, as they can increase estrogen in the body.
6. Supplements
Zinc: 100 mg/day recommended to boost testosterone.
Korean Red Ginseng: Improves testosterone, energy, calmness, and vitality.
L-Arginine: Increases nitric oxide, contributing to higher testosterone levels.
D-Aspartic Acid: Another compound that can boost testosterone levels.
7. Health Considerations
Fatty Liver: Can inhibit testosterone production; recommend low-carb, moderate protein, ketogenic diet to reduce liver fat.
Iron Levels: High iron can suppress testosterone and damage the liver; avoid iron supplements, especially if male or postmenopausal.
Additional Notes
Statins: Be cautious with statin use as discussed earlier.
