Over the years we've spoken a lot about raising test levels. Onions, sauerkraut, not cranking it, heavy leg days..
What else? I feel like my test is low. I might just be burnt out though.

# Natural Ways to Boost Testosterone in Men
## 1. **Diet & Nutrition**
- **Eat Healthy Fats**: Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and fatty fish (salmon, sardines) support hormone production.
- **Protein-Rich Foods**: Eggs, lean meats, and legumes help maintain testosterone levels.
- **Zinc & Magnesium**: Found in oysters, spinach, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate.
- **Vitamin D**: Sun exposure or fatty fish/fortified foods (or supplements if deficient).
- **Limit Sugar & Processed Carbs**: High insulin levels can lower testosterone.
## 2. **Exercise & Lifestyle**
- **Strength Training**: Heavy compound lifts (squats, deadlifts) boost T short-term.
- **High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)**: Sprinting or cycling bursts can help.
- **Avoid Overtraining**: Excessive cardio/long workouts may lower T.
- **Get Enough Sleep**: Aim for 7–9 hours; poor sleep crashes testosterone.
## 3. **Stress & Mental Health**
- **Reduce Cortisol**: Chronic stress lowers T. Try meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
- **Laugh & Socialize**: Positive social interactions may increase testosterone.
## 4. **Other Natural Boosters**
- **Cold Showers/Ice Baths**: May temporarily increase T (evidence is mixed).
- **Limit Alcohol**: Heavy drinking suppresses testosterone.
- **Avoid Endocrine Disruptors**: Reduce exposure to BPA (plastics) and pesticides.
## 5. **Herbs & Supplements** *(Consult a doctor first)*
- **Ashwagandha**: Adaptogen linked to increased T in studies.
- **Ginger & Fenugreek**: May support healthy levels.
- **DHEA**: A precursor to testosterone (use under supervision).
> **Note**: Testosterone declines naturally with age (~1% per year after 30). If symptoms persist (low energy, libido, muscle loss), consult a healthcare provider.
Not sure about the herb stuff but the rest checks out. It won't be life changing levels that you gain from these, but they do help in a small way. Getting in shape and cleaning up the diet makes the biggest difference. Don't underestimate mindset either, doing these will promote more positivity which could also help confidence
never have your feet together but literally manspread
never wear tight underwear or pants, preferably no underwear at all which should be no problem if you wash your ass after shitting
sleep naked and don't cover yourself with blankets that keep you too hot. being a little cool also makes you sleep better
most important: SIT LESS. no matter how much you manspread and what clothes you are wearing, sitting will inevitably block heat dissipation. get a standing desk, take breaks etc

balls work better if they are not hot, so it's important you make sure they are never hot, not just a few minutes per day (shower etc)
