Supplementing with Tongkat Ali can boost testosterone by as much as 100-200 ng/dL It primarily works by suppressing sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and increasing steroidogenesis—enhancing local testosterone production in the testes Another speculative mechanism includes selective estrogen receptor modulation (SERM)-like activity, potentially boosting testosterone through estrogen receptor modulation in the hypothalamus When purchasing Tongkat Ali, look specifically for extracts standardized and third-party tested for eurycomanone, its bioactive compound

Boron may play a supportive role for optimizing testosterone. Supplementing with 6-12 mg per day can increase free testosterone (not total testosterone) by suppressing SHBG. It's not something typically consumed in the diet, but you can find a multivitamin that has it. Note that most studies to date are in animals or mechanistic and your results may vary.

4 foods that support testosterone production: • Oysters and shellfish – packed with zinc, a mineral required to make testosterone (avoid regularly exceeding ~40 mg/day to reduce the risk of depleting copper) • Salmon and mackerel – a source of vitamin D, which helps regulate genes involved in testosterone synthesis • Dark leafy greens, almonds, and oats – supply magnesium, a cofactor for vitamin D-dependent enzymes; about half of Americans don’t get enough • Whole-fat yogurt and cheese – provide dietary fat, including saturated fat, which supports cholesterol production, the precursor for steroid hormones like testosterone

Andrew Huberman dropped this on Joe Rogan: two plant supplements can naturally boost testosterone by 100–400 points for most guys. Tongkat Ali (around 400mg/day) raises free and total testosterone. Pair it with Fadogia agrestis (around 600mg), a Nigerian shrub that mimics luteinizing hormone, and the combo gets stronger. One person went from the low 200s all the way to 700. Tongkat Ali lowers sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), freeing up more active testosterone for delivery to tissues and the brain. Fadogia stimulates the testes directly like LH, increasing production and even causing noticeable testes growth in some cases. Together they improve both free T and overall levels without shutting down natural production. With average testosterone levels dropping across generations, simple tools that support the body’s own system could help many men dealing with energy, mood, and drive. What supplement or protocol has actually moved the needle for you on energy or hormones?

Testosterone is far more than just a muscle-building hormone. It’s a cornerstone of health influencing mood, cognition, bone density, libido, and even longevity. In this episode, Derek (More Plates More Dates), host of the popular YouTube channel ‘More Plates More Dates' and co-founder of Marek Health, joins me to unpack testosterone’s true role in health, from bone density and insulin sensitivity to brain function and longevity. We cover how lifestyle factors, diet, and micronutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium shape testosterone levels, and which testosterone-boosting supplements actually work versus those that are just hype. We dive deep into testosterone replacement therapy—when it’s warranted, what benefits to expect, the risks (like polycythemia and fertility suppression), and how delivery methods such as injections, creams, and orals formulations differ. We also explore testosterone therapy for women, cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer risk, and how DHT drives hair loss, plus the safety and efficacy of treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. If you want to understand testosterone beyond the headlines, including its functions, its tradeoffs, and the practical ways to optimize it, this conversation is a must-listen. Links in the next post.

Ladies, are you taking care of your man? A man’s testosterone follows a daily circadian rhythm. It is usually highest in the early morning, especially around waking, then gradually declines through the afternoon and evening, reaching its lowest levels at night. In younger men, morning testosterone may be roughly 20–30% higher than evening levels. In marriage, this can subtly influence everything. Morning may bring stronger libido, physical energy, and desire for affection and intimacy. During the day, testosterone falls while work demands and stress may rise, so his needs may shift toward respect, cooperation, encouragement, and feeling effective or appreciated. By evening, lower testosterone plus accumulated fatigue can make relaxation, warmth, companionship, touch, and connection valuable. These are tendencies, not rules. Testosterone does not determine a husband’s emotional needs, and individual differences are much larger than the clock alone. So ladies, what are you gonna do first thing in the morning for your husband? 😉

In reality testosterones function is more of a precursor to more powerful hormones The effects of DHT, which is downstream of testosterone are actually responsible for many of the purported effects of testosterone Testosterone also can obviously aromatize into estrogen this is why “raising T” is not always a good thing depending on the context. Many dont have enough of the 5α-Reductase enzymes to convert it into the much more androgenic DHT I remember there was this science YouTuber I used to watch who is in his 30s without any facial hair growth, high pitched voice, poor frame, basically a “low T” soy-boy by all accounts. Yet when he went to have his blood tested, thinking he had low testosterone levels it was much to his surprise that his testosterone levels literally hit the instrument limit. Meaning they truly do not know how high his levels are but are likely 2000 ng/dl+ I think this is just a testament to how testosterone is not the litmus test of male hormones, it is not an isolated measure. Likely in his case he is aromatizing much of the testosterone and is not converting much if any to DHT

His testosterone was critically low… then he removed microplastics from his life and it jumped to 1,200 — naturally. Joe Rogan shared a wild story about his friend Philip Franklin Lee, a Michelin-starred chef in Austin. The chef was constantly fatigued with extremely low testosterone. When he tested for microplastics, the levels were off the charts. After cutting out plastic entirely and doing other detox steps, his testosterone soared from critically low to 1,200 — with no TRT or medication. Rogan’s takeaway: reducing microplastic exposure over time can have a dramatic effect on hormone levels. It’s one of those anecdotes that makes you look around at all the plastic in daily life and wonder how much it’s quietly affecting us.

All sex hormone synthesis originates in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where an enzyme called P450scc cleaves a hydrocarbon chain from cholesterol to form pregnenolone. That means same cholesterol your physician (erroneously) says will kill you is what your body uses to make testosterone. Moreover, P450scc absorbs light. Why would an enzyme that acts inside the mitochondria respond to a blue wavelength of light that can never reach that far inside the body? Because the blue light that energizes P450scc is coming from inside the body. It is produced by the mitochondria itself. The implications of this understanding are massive. To maintain high sex hormone levels as you age, you must have high levels of LDL cholesterol and healthy, active mitochondria. Cold plunge therapy not only stimulates mitobiogenesis for production of new mitochondria, but also creates light -- e.g., inside brown adipose tissue (BAT) -- that energize the enzymes responsible for steroidogenesis. You might have heard online that there is no way to stop the inevitable decline of total testosterone as you age. I'm telling you that's bullshit.

Oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are not only important for reproductive health but also have important effects on our brain function and cognition. All three hormones are also produced and made in our brains. Regardless of age, it is really important to have an understanding how these hormones work in our brains is key as it can help inform approaches to maintaining brain health and managing psychological symptoms that you may experience when your hormone levels fluctuate.

Pregnant women with higher BPA levels in their urine are six times more likely to have a child diagnosed with autism by age 11 BPA disrupts estrogen and androgen receptors and inhibits aromatase (the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen), which is essential for proper brain development in the womb, particularly in males Children with autism also show up to 15x higher urinary BPA levels, suggesting impaired BPA excretion could amplify the risk Prenatal BPA exposure is a serious neurodevelopmental concern that deserves far more attention

"The Most Important Fat In Our Body Is Cholesterol. Cholesterol Is The King Of All Fats." Dr Daniel Pompa There Is No Bad Cholesterol. We've Been Lied To. 3 Reasons Why Cholesterol Is The King Of All Fats. 1: Top Of The Hormone Chain--We need LDL for Progesterone, Estrogen, Testosterone & all steroid hormones. LDL is a transport lipoprotein molecule required for hormone production & immune function. 2: Vitamins-- Cholesterol is required in order to absorb fat soluble A, D, E & K into our cells. This is the single most crucial element in our immune system to fight against pathogens & bacteria. 3: Brain Health--Your brain cannot work without an abundance of Cholesterol. 100+ neurotransmitters rely on cholesterol for function. Lack of cholesterol will cause cognitive impairment & result in neurodegenerative diseases like Dementia, Parkinson's & Alzheimer's. We need proper levels of cholesterol & an abundance of dietary cholesterol. The most important fat in our body is cholesterol. Cholesterol Is Essential, Without It Our Body Cannot Make: Testosterone Aldosterone Cortisol DHT Dihydrotestosterone DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone Estradiol Estriol Estrone Progesterone Vitamin D Top 15 Benefits Of Cholesterol: Protects against chemicals, toxins & heavy metals. Prevents dementia & cognitive decline. Protects against all cause mortality. Production of all steroid hormones. Bone density & Osteoporosis prevention. Protective against stroke & heart disease. Important for lungs & airways. Building block of all cells & mitochondria. Absorption of Vitamins A, D, E & K. Critical for digestion & bile acids. Immune system protection against infections. Protection against bacteria, pathogens & viruses. Lowers risk of cancer & death. Lowers risk of depression & suicide. Lowers stress, cortisol & anxiety. Optimal brain is 60% fat & 25% cholesterol. A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & excess sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Cardio Biomarkers for Cardiac health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 2.0 & even better at 1.5 or less. 👇Low Cholesterol Causes Cancer & Stroke👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇Low Cholesterol Causes Depression & Suicide👇 Speaker: Dr. Daniel Pompa

It's a money making scheme & it's criminal! To heal an infection, you take an antibiotic for a week. To "heal" cholesterol, you take a statin---for life! It's not only criminal, it's dangerous: 💊Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction. 💊Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy. 💊Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 💊Cholesterol should not be lowered, it's critical for Vitamin D & all hormones, digestion, every cell should be saturated with healthy cholesterol. 💊Statins Do Not Lower Cardiovascular Disease, in fact in those over 65, Statins Increase Mortality. Chronic Conditions Caused By Statins: Muscle Pain Weakness Neuropathy Heart Failure Dizziness/Vertigo Cognitive Impairment Dementia Cancer Pancreatitis Liver Damage Diabetes Depression Parkinson's Disease Testosterone Deficiency Estrogen Deficiency Brain Damage 👇Statins Increase Mortality👇 👇Statin Use: No Reduction In CVD or Mortality👇 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇
