Discover lifestyle habits and powerful botanicals that may support healthy testosterone, energy and fertility.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.
From the age of 25–30, a man’s testosterone levels naturally start to decline. This can be problematic because low testosterone levels are linked with obesity and increased disease risk¹.
HOW CAN I NATURALLY INCREASE MY TESTOSTERONE LEVELS?
All forms of exercise may increase your testosterone levels. Weightlifting and high-intensity interval training are the most effective. Stress contributes to cortisol levels, high levels of which can reduce testosterone levels and have negative effects on your long-term health including reducing sperm and semen quality, which has implications for fertility.
It’s important to maintain a healthy weight, which according to the NHS, for most adults means a BMI of between 18.5 and 25. Men whose BMI is above this can have lower levels of testosterone, and therefore weight loss may be an important factor for fertility. Getting a good night’s sleep is just as important for your health as diet and exercise, and it may also affect your testosterone levels. On average, 7–10 hours’ sleep per night promotes long-term health and healthy testosterone levels.
Another factor to consider is high exposure to oestrogen-like chemicals, which may also affect testosterone levels. Try to minimise daily exposure to plastics including their contact with your food as exposure to the oestrogen-like chemicals they produce (including BPA and parabens) may also affect your testosterone levels. Excess alcohol consumption or certain medications can also decrease testosterone levels. If you’re concerned about this, please talk to your GP.
In the long run, low testosterone levels can have health implications such as a higher risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and weight gain. Symptoms of low testosterone levels can include erectile dysfunction, and reduced bone mass and libido.
