7. Reduce Stress
When you’re under a lot of stress, your body releases high levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This hormone actually blocks the effects of testosterone,6. Testosterone and Cortisol work as a yin yang or opposites to one another. So when you have one the other is not present. In the modern world, chronic stress, and subsequently elevated levels of cortisol, could mean that testosterone’s effects are blocked in the long term.
- Meditation is my favorite way of lowering stress. Learn how to meditate here with
some techniques I’ve learned from monks and shamans that are designed to help people who think they can’t meditate and helps to successfully lower stress along with the many other benefits of meditation.
- Chi Gong is my next favorite way of lowering stress. Learn this moving meditation here. When you create a visual image of how you’d like to feel, your subconscious will understand and begin to help you by making the needed biochemical and neurological changes.
8. Limit or Eliminate Sugar from Your Diet
Testosterone levels decrease after you eat sugar, which is likely because the sugar 
leads to a high insulin level, another factor leading to low testosterone.7
Based on USDA estimates, the average American consumes 12 teaspoons of sugar a day, which equates to about TWO TONS of sugar during a lifetime.
Eating sugar, like any drug, causes a vicious cycle of chasing the feeling of making a low mood go away. A temporary high of 5 to 20 minutes is quickly overcome by a crash, low mood, and then the desire to overcome that with more sugar.
What it is doing to us on both a physical and emotional level is another story entirely, and most people stand to reap major improvements in their health by cutting back on or eliminating, sugar altogether from their diets. Remember foods that contain added sugar and fructose, as well as grains like bread and pasta, should all be eliminated or seriously limited as well including fruit in the case of low T or being overweight.
If you’re struggling with sugar addiction and having trouble dealing with cravings, I highly recommend trying an energy psychology technique called Turbo Tapping, which has helped many “soda addicts” kick their sweet habit, and it should work for any type of sweet craving you may have. My favorite way to kick soda is by making Kombucha – a super healthy fermented tea. Learn how to make it here (coming soon)
9. Eat Healthy Fats
By healthy, this means not only mon- and polyunsaturated fats, like that found in avocados and nuts, but also saturated, as these are essential for building testosterone. Research shows that a diet with less than 40 % of energy as fat lead to a decrease in testosterone levels.8 This includes some pasture-raised animal protein i.e. saturated fats but never more than 50 grams since your body won’t digest it. After that, it turns to sugar and works against you. Most people I’ve seen with low T have too much animal protein in their diet. And NEVER eat conventional meats from factory farms if you are suffering from this as they have hormones and antibiotics which will work against testosterone.
Many experts agree that the ideal diet includes somewhere between 50-70 % fat. Including certain oils, and tropical plants like coconut for optimal functioning, and if you neglect this important food group in favor of sugar, grains and other starchy carbs, your health and weight are almost guaranteed to suffer. Examples of healthy fats you can eat more of to give your testosterone levels a boost include:
Olives and Olive oil Coconuts and coconut oil Butter made from raw grass-fed organic milk. Also Raw nuts, such as, almonds or pecans, Organic pastured egg yolks, Avocados,
Grass-fed meats, Palm oil, and Unheated organic nut oils
10. Boost Your Intake of Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) from Foods Like Whey Protein
Research suggests that BCAAs result in higher testosterone levels, particularly when taken along with resistance training.9 While BCAAs are available in supplement form, you’ll find the highest concentrations of BCAAs like leucine in dairy products – especially quality cheeses and whey protein. My favorite source is making the whey as a result of making milk kefir. See how easy this is here.
Food-based leucine is far more ideal than supplementation for benefit of your muscles without side effects. But if you are going to supplement I would recommend a whey protein from grass-fed cows. (click picture for link)
11. Sex
Simply having more sex has also been shown to boost testosterone levels in men.3 As reported by PeakTestosterone.com:
“One 1992 study4 examined four couples on days that they did and didn’t have sexual activity… [T]hey found that testosterone levels increased on nights after sexual activity and did not on nights where there was no intercourse. The authors noted that their study showed that it was likely sex that increased testosterone and not the other way around.” (Sorry no link for organic sex)
12. Get your sleep
A lack of quality sleep can dramatically diminish the amount of testosterone your body produces, thereby reducing muscle growth and fat loss! Research has demonstrated that the amount of sleep you get is associated with morning testosterone levels. Researchers at the University of Chicago recorded the sleeping patterns of healthy men and found that participants’ testosterone levels increased the longer they slept.12 I recommend 7-9 hours of sleep per night to optimize the testosterone response. See my blog here on the importance of sleep and how to get to sleep if you can’t.

What Else Can Lower Testosterone?
In addition to age and the other things mentioned in Part 1, the escalating amount of chemicals being released into the environment can no longer be ignored, as these toxins are disrupting animal and human endocrine systems and hormonal systems. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are everywhere. Personal hygiene products, chemical cleansers, or contraceptive drugs. They also end up in your food and drinking water, causing you to unknowingly ingest them.
It may be unlikely to completely eliminate products with EDCs, but there are a number of practical strategies that you can try to limit your exposure. The first step would be to stop using Teflon cookware, as EDCs can leach out from contaminated cookware. Replace them with ceramic ones. Stop eating food out of cans, as the sealant used for the can liner is almost always made from powerful endocrine-disrupting. Stop the use of plastics on your food, especially heating them. This includes bottled water, straws, plastic bags to store food and more. These petrochemicals with Bisphenol A, (BPA) can have a powerful negative effect.
You should also get rid of cleaning products loaded with chemicals, artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners, vinyl shower curtains, chemical-laden shampoos, and personal hygiene products. (learn to make a great deodorant and toothpaste by clicking each) Replace them all with natural, toxin-free alternatives. Adjusting your diet can also help, since many processed foods contain gender-bending toxins. Switch to organic foods, which are cultivated without chemical interventions.
Avoid Phthalates – often added to plastics, these endocrine-disrupting chemicals have a disastrous effect on male hormones and reproductive health. They are linked to birth defects in male infants and appear to alter the genital tracts of boys to be more femalelike.
Phthalates are found to cause poor testosterone synthesis by disrupting an enzyme required to create the male hormone. Women with high levels of DEHP and DBP (two types of phthalates) in their system during pregnancy were found to have sons that had feminine characteristics Phthalates are found in vinyl flooring, detergents, automotive plastics, soaps and shampoos, deodorants, perfumes, hair sprays, plastic bags and food packaging, among a long list of common products.
Aside from phthalates, other chemicals that possess gender-bending traits to Avoid are:
- Bisphenol-A (BPA) – Common in plastic products such as reusable water bottles, food cans, and dental sealants. BPA can alter fetal development and heighten breast cancer risk in women.
- Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) – A potential carcinogen commonly used in water- and grease-resistant food coatings.
- Methoxychlor (insecticide) and Vinclozin (fungicide) – Shown in studies to induce changes in four subsequent generations of male mice after initial exposure.
- Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) – Potent endocrine-disruptors that can interfere with your gene expression and glandular system. They are also referred to as estrogen-mimicking chemicals that have been implicated in unnatural sex changes in male marine species.
- Bovine growth hormones – Estrogen-mimicking and growth-promoting chemicals that are added to commercial dairy products.
- Soy products – Contain antinutrients and hormone-like substances, and are NOT health foods (contrary to popular belief). Visit this page to learn more about the dangers of soy.
- MSG – A food additive that can impact reproductive health and fertility.
- Fluoride – A potent neurotoxin found in certain US water supplies and is linked to endocrine disruption, decreased fertility rates, and lower sperm counts.
- Pharmaceuticals that provide synthetic hormones – Pharmaceuticals like contraceptives and provide you with synthetic hormones that your body isn’t designed to respond to and detoxify properly. Chronic illnesses may result from long-term use of these drugs.
- Metalloestrogens – A class of cancer-causing estrogen-mimicking compounds that can be found in thousands of consumer products. Included in the list of potent metalloestrogens are aluminum, antimony, copper, lead, mercury, cadmium, and tin.
