Increasing Testosterone Naturally
By Nick Mitchell • May 21st, 2008 • Category: Biosignature, Lead story, testosteroneIt seems to me that the curse of modern man is that he has been neutered by life and all that goes on around him.
Now before you misinterpret my words as being some misogynistic rant about the curse of feminism and why can’t all men be cavemen like me (I get that in before you do!) let me explain myself. The average 30 year old male living in the western world has 25% less testosterone than his grandfather had at an equivalent age. In London the figures are even worse…we are chemically and environmentally castrating ourselves! I see this all the time with my male personal training clients - so many of them have poor testosterone profiles, diminished sex drives, and in many cases female fat patterning (think hip and breast fat) due to low circulating androgen levels - ie their testes are no longer up to the job!
Why is this the case? Where do I start..poor food choices, stressful living, not enough sleep, toxic xeno estrogens in the environment (do you microwave plastic containers? If so, STOP!)…
Is there anything that can be done about it? Oh yes, there is an awful lot that can be done and we see results in a matter of weeks - if you are interested in learning more then I have written an article on this subject that is now on the main Ultimate Performance website.
