How to increase Testosterone naturally

 

Testosterone is NOT just for men (that’s right ladies, you need it too)


Although males have much higher amounts in their bodies, women also need it to help maintain bone and muscle tissue

AND if you’re working out on a regular basis, testosterone is a must for recovery


Some signs of low Testosterone:

  • Fatigue & decreased motivation

  • Depression

  • Poor workout recovery

  • Low libido

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Weight gain

  • Chronic pain


Testosterone replacement therapy is gaining in popularity, but it’s important to have these foundations in place FIRST before jumping into hormone therapy.

Here’s how to increase it naturally:

  • Prioritize sleep

  • Lift weights (But don’t overtrain)

  • Stay away from plastics

  • Go easy on the caffeine. Keep calm.

  • Manage your blood sugar

  • Zinc, Mag, Vitamin A


Once you get all of your foundations in place and you still don’t see an improvement, it might be time to look into therapy.
