let’s talk about the seven ways that you can boost  your testosterone these are natural things you can  

do the first thing is to make sure you do not  lower your cholesterol you want to increase  

your cholesterol do not go on a low fat diet why  because cholesterol is the precursor the building  

blocks that help make testosterone and that’s  one of the problems too when your doc puts you  

on statins statins block cholesterol which then  end up lowering testosterone and that is one big  

challenge so i’m not telling you not to take  your statin all i’m saying is that you might  

want to research it get with your doctor and find  out the real reason why your cholesterol might be  

high and i have some videos on that instead of  just treating the symptom let’s find out what  

the actual cause is but you don’t want to go low  on the cholesterol if you want high testosterone  

let’s talk about protein moderate protein a myth  is that you need a lot of protein to stimulate  

your testosterone no you need a moderate amount  now what’s a moderate amount well i’d say about  

between six to eight ounces per meal now i’m  talking about the weight of the actual food  

like a piece of steak or a hamburger or something  like that i’m not talking about the grams within  

that because the grams within that is a lot less  i do have quite a few videos on protein i’ll put  

some down below if you want more information on  that but you just want to avoid too much protein  

if you consume too much protein you’re  going to get tired and the reason why  

you’re going to get tired is that your like  half of it can easily be turned into glucose  

so when you turn it into glucose because  your body doesn’t necessarily use amino acids  

as its fuel some but not much it has to  be converted into glucose to be used as  

fuel so that excess amount of insulin that’s  triggered by the glucose is going to block  

your testosterone so just do a moderate amount of  protein number three you want to go low carbs for  

the same reason because carbs increase insulin  so if we keep our insulin low we can enhance  

testosterone and other beneficial hormones like  growth hormone number four exercise will stimulate  

testosterone if it’s high intensity and oval  training or exercise involving the whole body  

to the point where you’re sweating but not over  training but the problem is if you’re not sleeping  

you don’t want to do that okay because it’s  going to strain your heart you want to do long  

walks for a while to lower the cortisol so you can  sleep so you can eventually add more exercise to  

then increase more testosterone now just as a side  note and i didn’t put this on this chart is that i  

always recommend when you do low carb it’s called  keto you also do intermittent fasting intermittent  

fasting improves growth hormone and wherever  growth hormone goes testosterone goes it tends  

to follow similar pathways and so intermittent  fasting is vital to keep your testosterone levels  

normal because if you’re doing snacks and frequent  meals you’re just going to increase insulin and  

suppress testosterone that is why a pre-diabetic  or someone with insulin resistance or a diabetic  

normally always has low testosterone and that’s  going to affect your muscle mass and it’s going  

to affect your libido and your energy number five  sleep very very important why because we want to  

keep our cortisol lower increase cortisol  the stress hormone we lower testosterone we  

also want to keep estrogen on the low side so you  want to avoid soy products especially soy protein  

isolates which is in a lot of diet foods and like  the fake meat and things like that and then you  

want to avoid things that increase estrogen  so you want to do organic because pesticides  

insecticides act like estrogen in the body they’re  called estrogen mimickers or endocrine disruptors  

there are certain supplements that can also  help you as well the most important one is zinc  

about 100 milligrams per day this will actually  work very well another good one that i recommend  

is the korean red ginseng this not only improves  testosterone but it’s going to improve your energy  

it’s going to give you a sense of calmness it’ll  give you stamina it’ll give you vitality it’s a  

really really good herb it’s been used for a very  long long time with great success l-arginine will  

increase something called nitric oxide which  can increase testosterone it’s a good supplement  

but remember any time you’re doing supplements  they may not work if your diet isn’t corrected  

and if you don’t know what to eat i put a link  down below and then we have something called d  

aspartic acid another really good compound to  help increase testosterone last few points if  

you have a fatty liver and you’re looking down you  have a gut you have a fatty liver that’s going to  

inhibit your ability to make testosterone so you  want to work on removing the fat from your liver  

by doing a moderate protein low-carb ketogenic  diet also if your iron is too high that can  

suppress your testosterone and it can destroy your  liver so i always recommend if you’re male not to  

take iron supplements and even post-menopausal  women who are no longer menstruating should be  

careful too because iron in excess is very harmful  to your liver and hormones and it’s very difficult  

for your body to get rid of iron so you want to  be careful not to get it in supplements which  

you might even not be aware of when you read the  label it’s like wow i’ve been taking all this iron  

no i wouldn’t recommend that and statins i already  talked about that point all right there you go
