Make Men Masculine Again.
True story.

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.
Hereāre 29 testosterone boosting tips Iād tell my older self:
1. Supplements wonāt 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 natureās 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 Quicksilverās āPush-Catchā 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. Lifeās 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.
Summerās just 5 months away.
It's never been a better time to take action.
That's it.
But before you go, what's a tip you love that I missed?

The future health of humanity relies on all of us boycotting legacy media.
Thatās how we win.
Rise in glory, unwind in glory. Rinse and repeat.
I rarely ever use sunscreen.
Iāve found when you get enough morning/evening IR light and build your solar callus well, you really donāt need it.
But, on the rare occasion I do use it, this is my favorite type/blend:
Likewise brother. Sounds like weāve had similar epiphanies!
My favourite fitness tip from 2024?
Understanding the true power of shoulder protraction and proper breathing function to open up the ribcage while training the back.
Youāll notice here, I have both arms pulled forward (protracted position) and before I instigate the movement, I take a big inhale to open up my ribcage as wide as I can.
Then, I contract and pull the cable towards me before I pause and then breathe out as I extend and return the cable back.
Youāll notice, I deliberately alternate the arms so that I benefit from thoracic rotation, thus protecting the spine and oblique engagement.
And, youāll notice my back is deliberately flexed slightly (not flat or extended) so that when I take a big breath in, it helps to work against compression and expand my ribcage.
Learning more about the work of PRI and key figures like Bill Hartman and Conor Harris, has totally shifted my view on how to build muscle and strength while protecting longevity.
Ridiculously underrated back builder:
Chest supported dumbbell rows.
Why? Because it:
ā¢ Isolates back strength (it prevents other muscles from doing the work).
ā¢ Protects spinal health (you get thoracic rotation when you alternate arms).
ā¢ Bulletproofs your posture (enables anterior ribcage expansion).
If you want to transform your aesthetic, you need to do more back focused exercises (a wide back is key).
(Start with horizontal rows before progressing to vertical pulling exercises like chin ups or pull ups).
Remember.
Aim to be a better man, not a perfect man. Find the balance between raising your standards but not punishing yourself when mistakes or setbacks occur.
Have a glorious Monday Gentlemen. Seize the day.
Never give up.
This is such a dumb post. When I was carnivore I read the book āThe Fiber Menaceā and like you, told myself I didnāt need it to protect my precious sense of self and beliefs. Then, once you level up, you realize fiber, especially insoluble fiber is critical for toxin removal from the body. Without ingesting some on a daily basis youāre make yourself extremely vulnerable.
Interesting. š§
A big mistake men over 40 make:
They forget that to build generational wealth, you need robust health.
If building wealth was like growing a tree, your health is the roots.
Without strong roots, that tree will topple over at the first storm (cancer, low T, diabetes, etc).
A healthy body and a clear mind are your greatest assets. Without them, there is no generational wealth, thereās just early death.
Crude but true. Have a glorious Sunday gentlemen.
One of the biggest testosterone myths?
It makes you selfish, aggressive, and antisocial.
The actual truth is testosterone enhances status-driven behavior, but not as folk wisdom suggests.
In a recent study, women given a dose of testosterone bargained fairer.
This led to fewer conflicts and smoother social interactions.
Meanwhile, those who merely believed they got testosterone behaved more unfairly, regardless of the truth.
Key Lesson?
Testosterone doesnāt drive aggression, it drives strategy.
It's the belief in its effects, not the hormone itself, that fuels ego and unfairness.
