Boosting testosterone naturally

eat more cholesterol. the "stero" in cholesterol is the "stero" in testosterone. https://mennohenselmans.com/cholesterol-anabolic/
get a blood test (vitamins, minerals, hormones) and fix deficiencies, preferably with your diet. Fish/seafood has lots of vitamin D, and is a better source than pills. EDIT: use Cronometer to track your macros and micros
eat plenty of meat (preferably grass-red ruminant meat, as they aren't fed soy) and saturated fat
get your 8-10 hours of quality sleep per day (this includes naps)
watch your cortisol / stress. ashwaganda can help
avoid plastic containers for food, especially when heating food

Bathe your nuts in direct sunlight

dreamville_647 · 2020-12-08T19:09:52+00:00

That’s pretty much it.

sleep well, eat healthy meats/ seafood, lift super heavy. I have spent hours researching and it boils down to that

Calm down with the broscience lmao. Zinc shouldn't be taken long-term because it severely increases the risk of prostate cancer and when taken should not exceed 20mg. Also your statement about vit D is laughable, sun exposure is far superior than taking pills and the cancer risk is non-existent since all you need is as little as 20 mins of partial sun exposure to fill the body's needs

Workout hard, dial in your nutrition and get good sleep.

No supplement other than literal test or steroids will boost your testosterone as much as the above three practices.

Watch Gladiator once a month

dorgan64 · 2020-12-08T20:37:49+00:00

and no sugar.

Protocol_Apollo · 2020-12-08T19:32:50+00:00

You got the base.

Read boy named su comment.

Also, test is derived from fats. Eat saturated fats. Not just any fat though. Has to be good fats from avocados, olive oil (a pure/rich one not a diluted one like most on the shelf), grass fed meat, nuts, butter stick (butter tubs typically contain butter and a seed oil to make it more spreadable) make sure it’s organic.

Remove seed oils, they are shit for you. This obviously includes canola oil, soybean oil but also even sunflower oil. These are inflammatory oils.

And avoid non stick pans, use iron/steel. The non stick coating can leach into food.

Yes man semen retention is gold

I'd love to see a study on this and be proven wrong, but the only thing that will increase test levels more than a negligible level, is to inject test.

That said, most of these things are very good for general health and well-being anyway so are highly recommended whether they increase test more than a negligible level or not.

I'd point out "no fap" is total pseudo-science and unless you've got a psychological problem masturbation is perfectly healthy and if anything increases test levels (again negligibly). Even with a porn addiction you won't be advised to abstain all together.

Estrogen levels in food are again negligible and make no real difference. Even when on steroids estrogen levels can rise (and you need to be careful they don't rise too far) but you're still the opposite of what people think high estrogen does. A massive bodybuilder on a heavy bulk and strong steroid cycle will have higher estrogen than any natty guy by a long way, but is the total opposite of your "soy boy" stereotype - indeed, the "soy boy" thing is a misnomer. These guys generally suffer from low test, not high estrogen.

Quitting smoking, sleeping properly, training hard, and eating right are absolutely key to massive gains in the gym, a healthier body, and a massively improved frame of mind. But don't start on the testosterone pseudo-science.

Bull and lamb testicles

BlondeHornyElf · 2020-12-08T23:04:58+00:00

smoking cigs actually increases test short-term

BeThyselfLoveThyself · 2020-12-09T00:51:40+00:00

I increased my test levels by eating a healthier diet, which includes fruits and vegetables, working out hard, and getting good sleep. Doing heavy compound movements helped a lot. I masterbate several times a week and it doesn't affect me negatively. I could probably do it several times per day in fact. I think a lot of that is hocus pocus (mental) but to each his own.

Edit: the only supplements I take are whey protein, creatine, and caffeine.

PCMRworsethanRgaming · 2020-12-08T23:30:47+00:00

Imagine thinking being horny from nofap means you have higher test

guynpdx · 2020-12-09T00:24:14+00:00

Eating carnivore for a year doubled my testosterone.

MessyMind860 · 2020-12-08T23:21:46+00:00

There’s a study on ergo-log that shows coffee drinkers having higher testosterone levels

KeepinItPiss · 2020-12-09T01:41:04+00:00

Lotta broscience up in here

boardrider73 · 2020-12-09T04:45:00+00:00

Not too complicated but its hard to apply

Sleep Lift Stop/Limit Smoking Weed!! Limit Alcohol Solid Diet Decrease Cortisol Magnesium and Vitamin D may help

Djappaman · 2020-12-09T04:51:17+00:00

Yo, how did you go nofap for 2 years? I went for one month and I got anxiety.

InscrutablePUA · 2020-12-09T05:32:00+00:00

Mg, Zn, and VitD are all good. Omega 3 supplement as well since modern food chain is overloaded with Omega 6.

Contrary to popular belief there is no solid evidence that diet has a big impact on test, as long as you're meeting your macros. Don't buy the bullshit line about eating more sat fat and cholesterol - that'll just raise your chances of developing heart disease. Your body makes more than enough cholesterol to supply all your needs.

Also, why are you doing a low carb diet? When equated for calories, there is no difference in weight loss between low vs high carb diets. If you find it easy to adhere to that's fine. But if you think it has magical properties it doesn't. Most of the best strength athletes out there eat very high carbs (and protein).

SteveSan82 · 2020-12-09T06:18:23+00:00

Stop drinking coffee. If you must have caffeine, switch to matcha green tea. Avoid sugar except fruit. Avoid processed wheat

RedEyeBlackEye1 · 2020-12-09T08:59:55+00:00

Switching from hiit jump rope to hiit high rep push ups + bodyweight squats would give you the same cardio WHILE ALSO, giving you damn good resistance training for upper and lower body.plus, more hypertrophy if you go to failure and the high reps promote huge hgh release.

For testosterone, take a b complex supplement everyday and eat 2-4 eggs.

Good luck

Sun > pills.

Not even close.

Snowboard18 · 2020-12-08T20:21:15+00:00

Myth, estrogen isn’t bad for men and it won’t lower your test levels because for estrogen to even exist in you it needs to be converted from testosterone to E2.

I will probably get downvoted because everyone believes that myth. Trust me tho, ask any dude that takes steriods and is hyper-sensitive to changes in their hormones. Higher estrogen will make you a tad more emotional, but it also boosts strength and your sense of well-being.

But the synthetic estrogen in plastics prob is bad for you

ShaggyBlanco1 · 2020-12-09T02:00:49+00:00

masturbation increases testosterone I thought?

AceMav21 · 2020-12-08T21:24:17+00:00

Enclomiphene works pretty well too. It’s kinda like vitamins I think
