Certain exercises can cause damage to your spine, not allowing you to get as tall as you could. Additionally, some exercises CAN actually improve your height.

Of course, there are diet factors as well, but that’s for another article.

Just do your best to eat as naturally as possible and eliminate any foods that can increase your estrogen and decrease your testosterone.

Sadly, today more men suffer from low testosterone than ever before in history and it’s now considered an epidemic! Low testosterone (also called low T) can cause symptoms ranging from lack of sex drive, erectile problems, depression, and fatigue to irritability, memory loss, hair loss, and enlarged breasts and prostate.

Of course, the #1 cause is just simple aging. However, the fact that things are getting worse and worse each year, shows that lifestyle is playing a major role in this problem.

Now, in the past, I’ve spoken about improvements you can make to your diet, exercise, and supplements…. That will make instant improvements in your testosterone levels.

However, today I want to focus on another major cause of lowered testosterone levels that most people don’t talk about and that’s your mobile phone and laptops.

I get asked all the time, “Is there a way to know my testosterone levels without doing a hormone test?”

I initially ask how do you feel? How are your erections? How are your energy levels?

But, there is a physical test that can give you some insight as to how your testosterone levels are, and that’s with the finger test.

A ketogenic diet is when you are basically eating no carbohydrates and very little protein and thus, the majority of your calories is from FAT.

After about 3 days of not having any carbohydrates in your diet, your body will run out of “glucose” and will then start using KETONES as fuel.

Now, this is a good way to burn fat for many people because without carbs and glucose, your blood sugar and insulin production will be low and your food will have a harder time being converted to body fat.

However, this is NOT a good way to gain muscle. In fact, long-term ketogenic diets will actually cause muscle loss.

If you’re going to follow a ketogenic diet to lose weight, yet you still want to build muscle - you’ll have to cycle it carefully and not do it long-term. No more than 2 weeks of ketosis and I actually prefer something like 7 days on, 3 days off.

And if you want to lose fat and still build muscle at the same time, you can watch a great video about this topic and how you can quickly turn ON your “fat-burning genes”.

DHT can increase body hair growth -- including facial hair and beard. But keep in mind that it will also accelerate hair loss if that’s part of your genetics.

If you still want to increase your DHT, you’ll need to ultimately increase your testosterone because the more testosterone you have, the more there is to “convert” to DHT.

The rest is controlled by your genetics.

Also, aging increases your 5a-reductase enzyme, and thus, the older you get the higher your DHT levels. But unfortunately, it lowers your testosterone.

It can get a little complex, but I have a great video about this topic that I want you to watch. You’ll discover IF you have low testosterone and how you can increase it naturally.

Most people are surprised that I put salt on everything I eat. Not only does it make food taste better, but it’s also good FOR you… IF you use the right kind of salt.

 

And no, it does NOT increase your blood pressure. Sugar is actually a bigger cause of high blood pressure, but I’ll leave that for another episode.

Remember… the planet is made up of mostly saltwater. Your body is made up of saltwater.

Listen to today's episode to discover which type you should use.

Plant-based diets have numerous health benefits, especially for your heart. However, if you don’t want to go 100% plant-based, that’s fine. Just make sure your diet also contains some:

Nuts

Plant-Based Proteins

Fiber

Plant Sterols

Additional benefits can be seen even faster when adding in:

Policosanol

Artichoke Leaf Extract

Red Yeast Rice Extract

And as a reminder, you can see exactly how my parents used this same formula to lower their cholesterol in just 30 days – naturally and I got them OFF of the harmful medications as well.

As Marijuana becomes more legalized, I get asked questions often these days, such as:

If using pot or THC, lowers testosterone?

If you lose muscle size?

If it lowers your sex drive?

If it makes you fatter?

If it causes man-boobs (gynecomastia)?

And similar questions.

The answer is yes, marijuana lowers testosterone levels. I’ve seen it over and over again in dozens of blood tests over the years and especially in recent times since it’s now legal and people have easy access.

What’s worse, it also creates an imbalance in other hormones.

 

IF you don’t want to stop using marijuana, or you’re concerned about your testosterone levels or sex drive … and you want to improve your levels and ALSO decrease negative hormones such as estrogen and stress hormones like cortisol, then I suggest you discover a natural method for increasing your testosterone — without any change in your lifestyle.
