For 40 year old men, the average testosterone level is 427.
I went from facing testicular cancer to naturally doubling my testosterone levels to 871.
Here’re 29 testosterone boosting tips I’d tell my older self:
1. Supplements won’t save you.
2. Calorie counting is a scam.
3. Fasting is overrated.
4. Nutrient density trumps everything.
5. Your light environment matters as much as nutrition.
6. Start your day with 5+ eggs within 90 minutes of waking.
7. Ditch pre-workout powders. Instead use salt, honey, low-dose aspirin, and baking soda.
8. Magnesium chloride + thiamine = the ultimate supplement duo.
9. Oysters and organ meats are nature’s original steroids.
10. The vital T-boosting vitamins: A, D, K2, E, choline, B1, B3, zinc, and copper. Get them from animal sources.
11. Embrace carbs: Fruits, root veggies, honey, and maple syrup are your friends.
12. Prioritize horizontal pulling movements in your workouts.
13. Never skip leg day. Reverse lunges, split squats, SL Romanian deadlifts, and SL back extensions are king.
14. AG1 is a scam. Avoid it.
15. Sleep quality is critical. Use red lights, magnesium chloride, and mouth tape for game-changing rest.
16. Make animal protein or seafood the star of every meal.
17. For fat loss, stick to fruit and honey for carbs. For mass gain, add rice and potatoes.
18. Skip plant protein powders, goat or sheep whey reigns supreme.
19. Add 20g of gelatin or collagen daily.
20. A sluggish gut or liver will crush your T levels. Try a 1-month detox like Quicksilver’s “Push-Catch” protocol.
21. Low T often links to poor thyroid health. If your resting heart rate is below 60 or basal temp under 97.7, investigate.
22. Never skip breakfast.
23. Fix your posture: Incorporate face pulls, back extensions, and proper cable row variations.
24. Avoid tap water like the plague. Use reverse osmosis or sparkling bottled water with added magnesium and salt.
25. Avoid frequent masturbation, retain your semen.
26. Get sunlight in your eyes upon waking and before sunset.
27. Hit the sauna regularly.
28. Sprint once a week.
29. Lift with proper form and breathing techniques.
Bonus Tip:
Enjoy a cigar and a glass of Bordeaux once in a while. Life’s too short not to.
Take these tips with a pinch of salt. What worked for me might not work for you.
But remember this:
The only way to buy back time is to invest in your health.
Summer’s just 5 months away.
It's never been a better time to take action.
That's it.
