3 Natural Ways to Restore Testosterone
Millions of men in the US are functioning on low levels of testosterone.[1] In fact, based on a recent study, nearly 39 percent of men aged 45 or older live with a testosterone deficiency.[2]
Many of these men have lost their desire for intimacy, leaving their partner feeling confused and rejected. Men with low T may find it difficult to concentrate at work. They’ve noticed that their strength isn’t what it used to be–they’ve gotten soft and flabby. All these and more are symptoms of low T.
Testosterone is a hormone necessary for male development. Testosterone is required for building muscle and bone mass and generating sperm and sex drive. This male hormone drives the male pattern of fat distribution, bone density and the production of red blood cells.[3]
In males, testosterone levels generally increase through puberty and peak out in young adulthood. Then around age 30, T levels begin to slowly decrease by about 1% per year as a normal part of aging.[4] While a gradual diminishing of testosterone is normal with aging, T levels that dip too low indicate that something else is wrong.[5]
A number of conditions can accelerate and deplete testosterone to harmful levels. Some of those conditions include: obesity, type 2 diabetes, certain chronic medical conditions, hormonal disorders, and infections.[6]
What are the potential dangers of testosterone deficiency?
Research suggests that men with low levels of testosterone run a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease.[7] But there are also a number of other unpleasant symptoms that may accompany low levels of this male hormone.
How do you know if you have low testosterone?
The number of pushups you can pump out or the intensity of your libido may be indicators of your T level. But you’ll need a simple blood test to find out for sure. T levels below 300 nanograms per deciliter are considered low.[8]
What are the symptoms of low T?
Some of the symptoms of a testosterone deficiency can include:[9],[10]
- Low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and inability to reach orgasm
- Lingering fatigue and decreased energy
- Deep mood swings and depression
- Inability to concentrate
- Irritable demeanor
- Reduced muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat
- Erratic sleep patterns
Other medical issues can produce the above symptoms as well, that’s why a blood test is needed to determine whether low T is the culprit.
Testosterone replacement therapy
If you’ve watched television lately, you’ve no doubt seen ads for testosterone replacement therapy. T replacement drugs are available in a variety of forms including skin patches, gels, injections, pellets, and creams. Some doctors also prescribe bio-identical hormone replacement.
What are the side-effects of testosterone replacement therapy?
As with most synthetic drugs, there’s a long list of side-effects associated with T replacement therapy as well. Some of these include:[11]
- Acne or oily skin
- Mild fluid retention
- Growth of prostate tissue resulting in decreased stream or increased frequency in urination
- Breast enlargement
- Increased risk of blood clots
- Worsening of sleep apnea
- Decreased testicular size
- Increased aggression and mood swings
Ironically, some of these symptoms are indicators of low testosterone to begin with! And to be completely frank, I’m not sure how appealing enlarged breasts and smaller testicles are to the man who wishes to regain his manliness! (I’m not kidding!)

Nutrition
Did you know for instance that there are a variety of really tasty foods that promote the production of testosterone? For instance, whole grains, grass-fed beef, and free-range chicken eggs are listed as key testosterone building foods.
On the flipside are foods that you definitely want to avoid. Anything made from soy, for example enhances the production of estrogen. Some of the other foods to avoid may surprise you!
You’ll learn all about those in The Low Testosterone Solution Kit. And the Kit not only shows you what to eat, but contains a major section on recipes for creating whole T-generating meals, like our three bean chili with grass-fed beef, or pepper-steak sandwich..
Exercise
In the exercise portion of the Solution Kit, you’ll find a workout guide with specific exercises and routines for increasing testosterone, gaining muscle and losing fat. By the way, did you know that excess fat reduces the production of T in your body and increases the estrogen![12] Wow, this is serious stuff! Guys, you’ve got to pick up this The Low Testosterone Solution Kit.
Sleep
When we’re under stress our body produces cortisol–a huge depletor of testosterone. In addition to exercise, one of the best ways to lower cortisol is getting plenty of sleep. In fact, sleep is so vital for T levels that if you want more T in your life, get more sleep!
Wouldn’t it be great to boost your libido, lose that estrogen-producing fat, and to perform and feel like a man again? So, I’m asking you to man up and purchase The Low Testosterone Solution Kit! (By the way, you won’t believe how inexpensive it is!)
I’ll see you at the gym!
