I Have Low T.....Now What?

"Over the past 2 decades, the average man's testosterone has dropped by 22%"-John Romaniello , Author of  Engineering the Alpha.

FELLAS!!

There is an obvious trend going on here and it's a testament to the lifestyles we lead nowadays. It's no longer just an "age" thing either. Kids in their early 20s are having low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, low energy, disinterest in life, and a slew of other health problems. No you don't have to resort to pills for the rest of your life. There is MUCH more you can do before you take that route.

So here is my call out to all men to take responsibility for your OWN HEALTH first. Here are just a few things you can start doing to turn your life around:

1) Build Awareness- If you aren't sure whether you have low T, get a blood test. Find out what your T value means and where it should be.

2) TAKE MASSIVE ACTION- Awareness is not enough, you must act.

a) Cut out refined sugar. Yes completely. It is not serving you right now. It's making you weaker.

b) Consume your whole eggs, nuts, avocados, and meats (white and red). Worried about cholesterol? Don't be. It is a precursor to making testosterone in the body. More than that, it is been shown that high fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, and processed foods are the cause of heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes. NOT dietary cholesterol.

c) Eat vegetables with every meal if you can. Don't like them? Go here and invest in http://www.amazon.com/Gourmet-Nutrition-Cookbook-Food-Lover/dp/097743091X . It'll change the way you look at "healthy food". Everything I've had from this book tastes delicious.

d) Drink more water. Aim to get 1/2 your body-weight in ounces a day. If you are peeing yellow, up your intake. You are made up of this stuff folks! So get in there.

e) Stop binge drinking on alcohol. It's destroying your testosterone, and is not doing much for fat loss. If anything cut it all out for now.

f) Sleep more! Turn off your laptop, cellphone,  and lamps/lights at 11p. Or atleast dim them. It's only keeping you up at night, increasing levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body, disrupting your sleep, and of course affecting your hormones. You need this time to rebuild and repair your body!

g) UNPLUG from the MATRIX- With all the distractions of our life, it's easy to get sucked into lights, telephones, work, Tv shows, work...and more..work. You need time to rest, so make that time for yourself. Go out for a hike, sit and meditate, do some breathing work, take some time off, play some music, and just do something that makes you happy.

h) Get some SUN!

I) HAVE SEX! lots of it...with real people (consenting of course :) ) Cut out the porn. It's like you are mentally having sex with tons of women and so when it comes time to have sex with a real woman....caput...you feel nothing. It doesn't stimulate you enough.

J) Lift heavy weights and odd objects. Incorporate compound movements into your workout routine. Deadlifts, squats, Lunges, Box jumps, Hip Thrusts, Pullups, and Pushups will be your friends.

Even if you were to implement some of these into your life, it will start making a difference. What are you waiting for? Don't wait for another drastic health condition to pop up. This is an opportunity to take the reigns and dominate the hell out of your life!

On your side,
