1. Introduction
In order to do anything new, you first have to have a strong enough “Why?”. If
you can answer the question “Why am I doing this?”, you avoid a lot of
indecision and doubt.
Let's clear up a few things so that the you know “why?” you should boost your
testosterone and growth hormone.
First, the human body is controlled by hormones and testosterone is the most
powerful male hormone. Everything that distinguishes a male from a female is
directly or indirectly the result of testosterone, it begins in the womb and
continues throughout a mans' life.
Testosterone effects our thinking, our ambition, our physical health and our
mental health. When your testosterone is not at optimum levels, neither are you.
If you see men in their 50's, 60's and beyond acting and looking much younger,
that is a direct result of their higher testosterone levels. Make no mistake about
it, low testosterone results in a very poor quality of life and low testosterone can
sneak up on you if you are not aware of the danger signs.
Testosterone begins to decline when a man reaches his late twenties and if you
Testosterone begins to decline when a man reaches his late twenties and if you
don't take steps to reverse it, testosterone will continue to decline until you die.
From age forty and beyond, your quality of life will really suffer if your
testosterone is not kept in a healthy range. If you are not educated on the subject
you will be fooled into thinking you are “just getting old”. The reason you feel
old is because you testosterone is low, your actual chronological age has very
little to do with it.
All the information in this book is designed to get and keep your testosterone in
what is know as the “high normal” range.
Every man has a different testosterone level that is considered “normal” for him.
It's a good idea to get your testosterone checked in your late twenties and then
establish a baseline that is normal for you.
Regardless of your age, it may still be a good idea to get your testosterone level
checked to see what is going on. You want to make sure you check your total
testosterone, free testosterone and estrogen levels. This information will be a big
help in determining how much work you need to do to adjust your testosterone
levels. In addition, establishing a baseline level will aid you in the future should
your testosterone levels become a problem.
Keep in mind, not all men suffer from low testosterone as they age. I am
assuming you bought this book because your testosterone is lower than you
would like but it is important to note that a small percentage of men do not suffer
from declining testosterone as they age and those men should not attempt to
boost theirs. The body converts excess testosterone into estrogen, so it is
possible to get too much of a good thing. Body builders who take a lot of
extraneous testosterone, also have to take an anti estrogen drug otherwise they
get into trouble.
The following quick start guidelines will give you an overview of the
testosterone boosting plan but you should read the entire book as it contains very
helpful information on testosterone boosting foods and exercises. You really do
need to develop a testosterone boosting lifestyle if you want to maintain “high
normal” levels of testosterone as you age.
2. Quick Start Guidelines
As you age you should strive to:
A Simple Plan to Raise Your Testosterone
As you age you should strive to:
– Keep testosterone levels high
– Keep free testosterone levels high
– Keep the conversion of testosterone to estrogen at a healthy level
– Keep Growth Hormone High How do you do this?
1. Lose the fat - Excess fat causes more estrogen production due to the fact that
fat cells manufacture estrogen. So, the more fat cells, the more estrogen in the
blood and the less testosterone. The feedback loop in your body causes a
decrease in testosterone as estrogen increases beyond a certain level.
2. Cut out the Alcohol - Alcohol is a meat (muscle) tenderizer. Have you ever
marinated a steak with wine? If you drink alcohol on a regular basis you are
breaking down your muscle tissues and thereby effecting your testosterone and
growth hormone producing ability.
3. Reduce the Stress - Stress elevates corticosteroid levels which causes
testosterone levels to decrease. Meditation works fantastic at reducing stress.
Mediating in bed just before you fall asleep and just after you wake up in the
morning can work wonders.
4. Get off the Medications - Some medications can destroy testosterone
production. If fact that is the main purpose of some medications. Consult with
your doctor, NEVER stop taking medication without first consulting with your
doctor but work to get off all medication by treating the causes and not the
symptoms of whatever is ailing you. Sometimes just cleaning up your diet and
losing weight can work wonders.
5. Avoid a Low Fat Diet - Low fat consumption means less free testosterone.
Clean dietary fat plays a critical role in testosterone levels and bio availability.
Extra virgin olive oil, egg yokes, almonds, milk, cream, coco butter(chocolate)
are all great sources of clean fat. If a fat has been altered by excessive heat or
hydrogen, I don't eat it.
6. Stop Over training – Over training is rampant. Nobody can work out
everyday as they get older. Once a week is plenty when lifting weights. If you
are not excited to get to the gym, you are over training. If you are over forty (40)
years of age and in shape, you can lift weights once a month and stay in great
stay. Exercise one a week but lift weights only once a month. On the other
weeks just walk, do push ups, pull ups, deep squats with no weight and other non
weight lifting exercises.
7. Sleep Eight to Ten Hours Every Night - If you are not getting enough sleep
everything else will eventually be effected. Eight hours is the minimum, every
night. You should go to bed every night at the same time if possible and forget
about playing catchup. If you only get six hours per night during the week, you
can't make it up on the weekend. Your body doesn't respond well to that.
8. Take the Proper Amino Acids, Vitamins and Supplements – We will get in
to this in detail below but take them only as required and always cycle them.
9. Lift Weights - Squats, Dead lifts and Bench presses. Heavier weights and
lower rep range. Start with an empty bar if you have to and work up. I also like
back rows and leg presses. The object is lift 6 to 8 reps and 3 or 4 sets for each
exercise.
This next section covers the basics of boosting your testosterone naturally. I also
cover boosting growth hormone in this section as the two work together.
I use myself as an example throughout this book and I explain what I personally
do to keep my testosterone high so please keep in mind the following when
considering the information that follows as your baseline may be different from
mine:
I am in excellent health with no medical issues or injuries and my weight is close
to ideal.
I am not on any medication.
I was born in 1961 and I have lifted free weights for the past 40 years.
I never run and never do more than 15 minutes of aerobic work if at all.
I have been taking growth hormone releasers for more than twenty five (25)
years and testosterone boosters for more than ten (10) years.
I have never taken extraneous growth hormone or testosterone. My direct
experience is in successfully getting my body to to release more naturally
produced growth hormone as well as produce and unbind testosterone.
I am very careful whenever I take anything because these supplements work and
I want to watch out for side affects.
I want to watch out for side affects.
I always cycle almost everything I take. I cycle weekly and I cycle annually.
This means I take one type of testosterone booster for 4 days (Monday -
Thursday) then nothing Friday-Sun, then on Monday I start with a completely
different testosterone booster.
For growth hormone releasers I will take them Sunday, 30 minutes before I lift
and then Monday Thursday at night just before I go to bed and on an empty
stomach. You can't eat after 6pm if you want to take the growth hormone
releasers as they only work on an empty stomach at night. I wait at least 4 hours
after I have eaten before I take them and I drink about 16 oz of water with them.
You must drink the water when you take them. Do not drink any other type of
fluids like fruit juices, milk etc.
By cycling annually, I mean I will take the testosterone boosters heavily in Oct,
Nov, Dec, Jan , Feb, Mar, then start to cut back in April and stop completely in
June, July & Aug. I lift heavy in the winter so I want my testosterone to be at its
peak then.
I will take growth hormone releasers four (4) days a week for three weeks
straight and then go off them for a month. I will do this cycle for 8 months and
then go off them completely for 3 or 4 months except I always take them before
I lift weights.
Keep in mind that heavy basic weight lifting i.e. the squat, dead lift and bench
press cause the release of growth hormone and boost testosterone so I always
make sure I do those lifts once a month (once a week when I was in my 20's and
30's).
Reducing your carbohydrate intake will boost growth hormone
Increasing dietary fat consumption (olive oil, milk fat, egg yokes, coco butter)
will increase testosterone production. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a cold pressed
fruit, is one of the best types of fat you can eat. I never eat any fat that has been
molecularly altered, like hydrogenated fat, trans fat, etc.
I do not eat vegetable based fats because the heat used to make them alters them
(for example, corn oil or canola oil). Some chocolate candy is now made with
vegetable oil, not coco butter so I no longer eat it. I eat semi sweet baking
chocolate morsels to get the coco butter .
Testosterone is produced using cholesterol. Cholesterol reducing drugs will
reduce testosterone. Low fat diets will reduce testosterone. Vegan diets will
reduce testosterone. Soy will reduce testosterone. No soy based protein or foods
should be eaten by a man (including soy based protein shakes), if that man wants
to boost his testosterone.
100% pure powdered egg whites mixed with skim milk and lecithin granules is a
great source of protein for shakes. Egg whites are a great, low calorie source of
DAspartic Acid and DAspartic Acid boosts testosterone very nicely. You can
buy the powdered egg whites cheap on the internet in bulk.
You can get DAspartic Acid from eating oat meal and I get 3000mg of it a day
by eating 1 & ½ cups of oat meal every morning in the winter. I cut back during
the spring and summer because of the excess calories.
If you have a hormone problem you might want to talk to an endocrinologist
who is involved with sports medicine, a regular medical doctor may not have a
clue. If you have any issues with any type of cancer you must seek medical
advice before taking any of these and you should not take them at all if you don't
understand what they do and are not fully informed.
Women should never take any of these supplements without consulting a doctor.
List of Testosterone Boosters
The following is a list of what I take to boost testosterone. All doses listed are
what I personally take. If you take them at all, you should test appropriate doses
for you, mine may be to high for you as I have taken them for many years and I
have built up a tolerance. These supplements are dose dependent , if I don't take
enough, they don't work. Lower doses do not wok for me at all.
(Please note: When I list the manufacturer of a particular product I do that not to
recommend the manufacturer but rather to help you in your research. I make no
specific manufacturer recommendations. You should make your own decisions
after doing the research.)
The List:
Water – I start drinking plain, room temperature water as soon as I get up. I
drink at least 64 ozs every day. I never drink soda or hard liquor, just water and
very rarely beer. Without enough water, none of the chemical processes in the
body can work correctly. I sip the water, I don't gulp it down. I want my body to
have time to absorb it.
I don't eat processed foods because most are full of salt. Salt drives water out of
your cells and potassium pulls water into your cells. If you eat processed foods,
you most likely are getting way to much salt. I make almost all my meals from
scratch so my salt intake is very low. I eat a banana every day for the potassium.
DAspartic Acid – This stuff really works and I think a great way to get it is by
eating oat meal. I get my dose of 3000mg per day from 1 & ½ cups of oat meal
for breakfast every morning in the winter. I roast the oat meal on a cookie sheet
for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. I then add in ¾ cup of semi sweet chocolate
baking morsels. This is about 1000 calories so to reduce body weight, I cut down
this amount to about 3/8 of a cup of oatmeal and ¼ cup of chocolate in the
spring. I buy the cheapest plain old fashion rolled oats with no additives. Not the
instant or quick oats. Not flavored oats just plain old fashion oat meal. I use semi
sweet chocolate baking morsels as the source of chocolate.
If you have never tried oat meal to boost testosterone, this one tip is worth what
you paid for this book. I have never gotten better results with anything else. The
results are subtle but very real. Be aware that you will gain weight if you don't
reduce your overall food intake by cutting out something else. I eat 1 & ½ cups
in the winter but I eat less the rest of the year to manage my weight. You can eat
oat meal in the winter and take Avena Sativa (see below) the rest of the year.
Vitamin C – 500 mg per day, year round but up to 5000 mg per day spread
throughout the day, for 3 or 4 months in the winter. I take 500 mg every day and
I only take the 5000 mg mega dose in the winter for 3 or 4 months. Do not mega
dose year round, it is too much. Vitamin C unbinds testosterone and the effects
can be dramatic.
Powered Garlic – (Kyolic) Year round about 500 to 1000 mg a day. Garlic may
lower your blood pressure and thin your bloom. It also may boost testosterone. I
