Talking Testosterone with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi - Episode 217

Did you know that although men’s testosterone levels decline with age, you can optimize them in advance? Dr. Anthony Balduzzi joins host Ian Lobas to discuss why testosterone is an important component of men’s overall health. If you want to feel energetic, keep your memory sharp, stay lean, have good blood flow circulation, confidence and competitiveness, you need to pay attention to your testosterone levels.

Dr. A, as he is affectionately known, is the founder of The Fit Father Project and The Fit Mother Project - the leading health and weight loss programs for busy men and women over 40.

In this episode, he and Ian talk about the major factors that affect testosterone levels and what we can do, or avoid doing, if we want to optimize our production of this essential hormone. They discuss the relationship between exercising and/or losing weight and testosterone production.

Dr. A also reveals the core nutrients and minerals we need, namely zinc, magnesium and Vitamin D, as well as the benefits of getting quality sleep if we want to have healthy levels of testosterone production.

No stone is left unturned in this discussion, which looks at the effect of stimulants, stress, adrenal fatigue, and even posture, on testosterone levels. What’s more, Dr. A covers the advantages of getting sun on your testicles and exactly how to do it.

Also, if you’ve been considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), you’ll get some critical information about this option in this episode.
