4 Ways to Boost Your Testosterone Naturally

Do you have low testosterone? A surprising number of men do, and lifestyle factors are often to blame. The good news is, since many of the factors that contribute to falling testosterone levels are known, there are steps you can take to improve your health and boost your testosterone naturally.

Why Testosterone Matters

Testosterone serves several important functions in the male body. Besides the obvious function of maintaining sex drive and sperm counts, the male hormone also contributes to manufacturing red blood cells (the oxygen-carrying cells needed to power all other body functions,) building strong bones and muscles, and determining where and how fat is stored in the body. 

In short, according to Dr. Dominique Fradin Read, M.D., M.P.H., “Testosterone is important for men to function well physically, mentally, and emotionally. When testosterone levels dip below normal, we start to see some dysfunction in each of these areas.”

How to Boost Your Testosterone Naturally

While it’s important to rule out possible medical causes of low testosterone, such as problems with the thyroid or hypothalamus, medical side effects, or cancer, everyone can benefit from improving the lifestyle factors that contribute to declining testosterone levels.

1. Lower Your Stress

Stressful situations can cause the body’s production of testosterone to be erratic. While it may increase during a stressful event, long-term chronic stress has a negative effect on the body that can snowball. The stress hormone cortisol, for example, contributes to accumulating fat and craving high-carbohydrate food, both of which have a negative impact on testosterone production. Some men take CBD oil to lower their stress levels and this may boost testosterone levels.

2. Eat High-Quality Foods

High-quality food includes whole grains, seeds and nuts, minimally processed meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables. Compared with refined carbohydrates and highly processed ingredients, high-quality food is less likely to cause inflammation and weight gain. If you’re stuck in a cycle of poor-quality food that doesn’t nourish, a specialist in weight loss could help you to transform your diet.

3. Go to Bed on Time

In one study of the relationship between sleep and testosterone levels, men who were deprived of sleep (just 5 hours of sleep per night for one week) experienced a significant drop in testosterone, the equivalent of up to 15 years of age-related testosterone decline. Seriously, get some sleep.

4. Exercise

Being physically active has a positive effect on testosterone levels. If you are already suffering from low energy, weight gain, and other symptoms related to low testosterone, remember that the snowball effect that led you here can also work in reverse. You can produced a significant change by starting small. Just 30 minutes of walking per day can improve your overall fitness, reduce stress, and boost your testosterone levels.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
