Holistic Hormones: 7 Secrets to Naturally Increase Testosterone

Written by: Dr. Joshua Gonzalez

Testosterone is a crucial hormone that is vital in various aspects of a man’s life. Low testosterone can affect bone density, muscle development, overall mood, and libido. There is a menagerie of medical methods to increase testosterone levels, but did you know that there are ways to improve testosterone organically? Think of it like farm-to-table for your testes. Popstar is here with the tips (and a lot more than just the tip) on increasing testosterone levels naturally. Let’s take a look at taking a more holistic approach to your hormones.


Get Some Zs for T

Holistically healing your hormones can be as simple as hitting the hay. Sleep is your best friend if you want to boost testosterone naturally. We like to say that you should get as close to your “solid 8” as possible. This means you should try your best to get eight hours of sleep each night. Quality sleep is paramount for your overall health. Studies show that sleep deprivation can significantly impact testosterone levels. If you want to help your cock, make sure you are counting sheep!


Don’t Be Stressy for Your Testes

Stress management is critical to a healthy level of testosterone. Chronic stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which can suppress testosterone production. Finding healthy coping mechanisms for life’s stressors is crucial to healthy hormone levels. This is where the holistic “woo-woo” activities like yoga or meditation can come in handy.


Diet and Exercise for your Ding-a-ling

Believe it or not, too many Christmas cookies can directly affect your cock. A balanced diet leads to balanced hormone levels. Maintaining a balanced, nutritional diet plays a crucial role in hormone regulation. Foods with healthy sources of fats, such as nuts, avocados, and olive oil, are great for hormone production. With the holiday season in full swing, your healthy diet can go right out the window. Healthy diet habits throughout the year are important so you can indulge a bit during the holidays.


Exercise is also crucial to the adequate production of testosterone. Even if you aren’t a Turkey Trot kind of family, it is essential to build time for exercise in your schedule, not just during the holidays but year-round. Both aerobic and resistance training are associated with increased levels of testosterone. You will want to aim for a mix of cardio-based exercises like swimming or running with strength training like weightlifting. You heard it here: a pump at the gym can help your penis!


Put Down the Bottle for Your Balls

Excessive alcohol intake can negatively impact testosterone levels. Like maintaining a balanced diet, limiting drinking can be challenging during the holiday season. The holidays mean parties, and parties often mean drinking. If you are dealing with low levels of testosterone, you may want to say no to that extra eggnog! Just like everything in life, drinking is best done in moderation!


Water Your Weenie

Put down the beer bottle and pick up the water bottle! Just like stress, dehydration can also lead to raised cortisol levels, affecting the production of testosterone. Hormones aside, hydration is crucial to just about every other bodily function. Adequate water consumption helps to regulate body temperature, keeps joints lubricated, prevents infections, delivers nutrients to cells, and keeps organs functioning properly.


Vitamin D for Your D

Tanning for testosterone? Who would’ve thought? Just like a plant, your penis needs water and sunlight. Well, not literally. This isn’t your sign to be tanning naked. Vitamin D is essential for testosterone synthesis. We all know the sun is a natural source of vitamin D, so it is essential to ensure you are spending time outside, soaking up the sun, but don’t forget your SPF!


Socialize

You have to socialize your schlong. This doesn’t mean bed-hopping, although who are we to judge? Positive social interactions and meaningful connections lower stress levels. We now know the lower the stress, the higher the testosterone. So, for the sake of your schlong, get out there and socialize!


You don’t need crystals to holistically help your cock or build a zen garden for your balls. There are plenty of ways to increase your testosterone levels naturally. Everybody is different; therefore, the results may vary. That being said, adopting these healthy habits is excellent for your overall well-being.  If you find that these holistic techniques for boosting T don’t work for you, contact your healthcare provider or friendly neighborhood urologist who can discuss medical treatments to boost your T that works best for you and your body.
