  • Learn how to increase testosterone in 5 easy ways and boost testosterone NATURALLY! Why is it important to maintain a healthy testosterone level? What is the significance of testosterone in the first place? I also tackle the mystery behind soybeans and Ashwagandha, an ancient medicinal herb. Do soybeans really lower testosterone levels? Does Ashwagandha have any real effects on testosterone? I discuss these topics (and more!) in detail, so make sure you stick around until the end!

    After a heart attack I started to get a little more involved in my well being and one of the things I was told or learnt to do was reduce stress. I learnt transcendental meditation (TM) which was amazing but I'm really bad at routines so never got into the swing of regular practice. I knew I needed to build muscle to help in weight loss and as an older guy we have to look at those hacks that will help us increase testosterone. I now put a heaped teaspoon of ash. powder on my breakfast each morning because it helps to reduce cortisol levels. With lower cortisol levels you get higher testosterone and vice versa. A side benefit of taking the ash. powder IS lower stress levels - it is like meditation in powdered form!

    By the way, I achieved this without changing exercise - actually did it a lot less.
    Ketogenic lifestyle is so delicious, easy, and honestly, addicting. Just so unfair that lifestyle so healthy is so cheiap, easy, and fun to live with.

    My story is I was starting my 60s and felt older and slowing down plus didn't feel like have sex but wanted to. I had my yearly physical and my testosterone level was just below 300 which is just below the minim level for a male my age. I asked to try some testosterone therapy and was given a prescription for gel. It took a while to kick in but in 3-4 months I felt a little younger and was able come out of retirement and go back to work, come home and exercise or do an hour of yardwork and my sex drive felt normal. I also could think more clear headed. It didn't make me feel 20 again but maybe 50 give or take. I now tell guys my age about the benefits of testosterone. It's like the fountain of youth for males my age.
    Oh I'm 68 but people keep telling me when they ask how old I am that I seem much younger.

      300 is considered normal by the medical society...but low to the bodybuilding society....you can build muscle and have a normal sex drive even in the 200 range ....Often body fat and medications can loser testosterone in older people ...that number may be higher and fluctuate during the day....People should try everything before using TRT ....unless nothing else works....last resort should be Cialis....which may clear up a lot of problems.

My avg weight back then was around 210. Weight crept up on me after marriage and the kiddo. Decided on keto to do something about it. I lost 45lbs in 2 months. Then it leveled off. The other effects were why i stayed on it. Digestive system functioned better, more energy..needed less food. I generally ate one meal a day. I lost the taste for alot of things. Especially sugary drinks. Any bottle of fruit juice feels like im trying to drink a bottle of maple syrup now. It was quite the interesting experience

    1. For the pounds to melt off, incline treadmill walk first thing in the morning on an empty stomach 5 days a week for 30 minutes. Doing it in a fasted state forces your body to use stored energy, which is important for weight loss. You can do weight training in the evenings a couple times a week to rebuild muscle lost through weight loss - the net result being fat loss. 2. Exercise will then help u sleep better. Not sleeping enough is a stress to the body. The body doesnt lose weight when its stressed. 3. Eat more fibrous(as opposed to starchy) veggies and lean proteins and less carbs. Exercise, sleep and diet are 3 equal pieces of the fat loss pie. Without 1 piece of the pie, the process doesnt work.

    BUT: BPA is a part of many metal coatings for metal food containers, from cans to silos.

    Over 60 male here... Started a Keto diet 6 years ago after the Doc diagnosed Type 2 diabetes with a 9.4 A1C. Yikes. Started my Keto Journey and noticed no appreciable weight loss per se... but, at about the 4.5 year mark, my A1C had dropped to about 6.3. I couldn't figure out what was keeping it up and so I then made a transition from Coke Zero to Zevia Cola and my A1C has dropped to 5.6. I sleep like a rock about 6.5 -7 hours a night, but I don't get to exercise that regularly (thanks C0vid) anymore. However, my T levels are pretty low. So, I've been taking a lot of supplements to help boost my immune system (helped beat C0vid without taking anything extra), but I didn't know about Ashwagandha. So, thanks for your immensely well done videos - they've been watched with much enthusiasm...! Off to the store for Ashwagandha...!

  • @seanmcdonald4156
    @seanmcdonald4156 2 роки тому +62

    Overall great video I just recently found you. I'm 52 years old, I've been ketogenic for 7 years, I get up at 5am and do a mixed training routine of weight lifting and calisthenics, fasted, 5 days a week, sleep 7-8 hours/night, drink ~100oz of water/day, stay away from alcohol during the week. Just had my testosterone levels checked at my last physical and I'm tracking at the levels normally seen in 30-35 year olds. Maintaining ~15% body fat and added 3.5 lbs of lean mass over the last year, which is supposed to be impossible for men over 50.....never been healthier in my entire life per my blood tests and extra inflammation markers I pay extra to have tested. The only other thing I would mention is proper supplementation. I'm not talking about TRT or god forbid steroids that will shutdown natural testosterone production forever.... don't do it. I mean a healthy amino acid mix, vitamins and electrolytes daily. Also DHEA, which is a natural testosterone precursor that the body produces up until ~18 years old then shutsdown in both men and women. Taking it as you get older gives your body the tools it needs to make it, naturally, with the proper stimulation like weightlifting. Research it first if you are considering it, some hereditary cancers can increase if you take it.... so get educated first and know your family medical history. Mike Munzel over at High Intensity Health does a good discussion on it.

    • @Kronx1970
      @Kronx1970 2 роки тому +1

      Hey Sean, I'm a similar age, what do you consider a healthy amino acid mix? Which vitamins do you take? I don't mean to replicate it, but just curious to understand a reference point.

    • @seanmcdonald4156
      @seanmcdonald4156 2 роки тому +2

      @@Kronx1970 Hi, happy to list what I do, I've curated my supplementation over a number of years. In regards to aiding in weight lifting I take a BCAA complex before and after lifting which contains L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-valine, Taurine. I also take a nighttime recovery drink which contains L-Theanine, L-Glutamine, L-Leucine. Both are sold by Jeff Cavalier over at AthleanX the BCAA is called "Alpha RX" and the nighttime drink is called "Reconstruction". In regards to Keto, you have to remember its not a diet, its a permanent lifestyle and you are rewiring your body chemistry when you switch to being fat adapted so the body needs different things versus a carb based diet. I take a ketogenic multivitamin called Ketocore (on Amazon) which also has a probiotic complex for high fat diets to aid in gut health. I also supplement Vitamin B5 morning and night. B5 aids the body in converting fat to energy so its mandatory for Keto, if you are feeling fatigued in the afternoon you are probably not getting enough B5 on keto. I take Berberine at night, this aids in reducing blood sugar levels (glucose regulation) and lowering insulin as well as reducing overall inflammation in the body and oxidative stress. Vitamin D 5000IU's/day, the body uses vitamin D in ~100 processes and most people don't get enough. A good quality Omega 3 containing DHA and EPA daily. Lastly in the ketosis process in the liver the body sheds electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, potassium primarily) as part of that chemical reaction so I take an additional 2grams of salt in the morning in pill form and get ~5-7grams of total salt a day which will sound crazy to most people but its totally normally for a fully fat adapted ketogenic lifestyle. If you are getting tired in the afternoon and are on Keto you are also probably not getting enough salt in your diet along with the B5 listed above. Magnesium and Potassium round out the electrolytes. If you are getting muscle cramps during the day you don't have enough potassium, if you are getting muscle cramps at night you are not getting enough magnesium. As you can tell I'm somewhat of a biohacker. What does all that get me at 52 years old?.... Testosterone levels like a 35 year old, insulin level at 3 which is super low, glucose in the 60's, triglycerides in the 80's, c-reactive protein of 0.3 - anything lower than 1 is optimal, and a very healthy cholesterol of 382 and LDL of 289, which is perfect for keto. Also my ApoB/ApoA1 ratio is 0.5 (perfect), which is a far better estimator for cardiovascular risk than the garbage cholesterol test which is just a number based on a math calculation and is basically meaningless unless you look at all the other markers I listed above. Hope this helps.

It started in my ears and spread to my sinuses, then eyes, then mouth, and finally digestive tract. Then it felt systemic. All the symptoms of low testosterone and my primary tested my testosterone. I got an 8 shocking the lab. He prescribed the same thing he was taking and then it gave him a heart attack and killed him. Finley a Nurse Practitioner ENT told me he did not think I had an infection but did the test! Three days later I got the call that the test came back and they had called in Doxycycline! All symptoms started getting better in another two days. Heath care in the South sucks!
