Nutrition is one of the five core pillars we’ve identified as essential for maintaining optimal testosterone levels. Your diet provides the raw materials and cofactors your body needs to produce and regulate testosterone. Without the right nutrients, even the best training and recovery plan can fall short.
Introduction Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is one of the most versatile substances found in the home. While it’s best known for baking and stomach relief, its applications extend far beyond the kitchen — including athletic performance, detoxification, and even household cleaning. Recently, interest has grown in how baking soda may interact with male hormones, particularly […]
Endocrine disruptors, also known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), are substances that interfere with the normal functioning of this system. They can either block, mimic, or alter hormone production and signalling — leading to wide-ranging effects on health.
Inflammation is your body’s response to an illness, injury or something that doesn’t belong in your body (like germs or toxic chemicals). It’s an important process that allows your body to heal. Like with stress, inflammation can be both acute and chronic, with chronic inflammation.
The Mediterranean diet is widely regarded as one of the healthiest ways of eating, known for its benefits to heart health, longevity, and chronic disease prevention. What’s less discussed is its positive effect on testosterone levels in men. Thanks to its nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory profile, the Mediterranean diet can help support hormonal balance naturally, making it an excellent long-term strategy for optimising male health.
Boron is a trace mineral naturally found in soil, food, and the human body. Though not classified as an essential nutrient, emerging evidence suggests it may play a supportive role in various physiological processes, including bone health, cognitive function, and hormone regulation. In recent years, boron supplementation has gained attention for its potential impact on men’s health, particularly concerning testosterone levels and overall hormonal balance.
Phytoestrogens are compounds derived from plants and mimic the effects of oestrogen in the body. They are found in a wide range of food products such as soy, flaxseed and certain fruits and vegetables. We will explore further potential benefits and drawbacks of the phytoestrogens on healthy male testosterone levels.
Leg training, particularly through compound movements like squats and deadlifts, is often promoted for its potential to raise testosterone levels. This article examines the scientific evidence behind that claim, looking at both the immediate and long-term hormonal effects of lower-body resistance training.
Unlike women, who follow a roughly 28-day hormonal cycle, men experience a daily, or circadian, hormonal rhythm. Testosterone fluctuates within a 24-hour period, peaking in the morning and gradually declining throughout the day. Understanding this cycle can help men align their activities with their hormonal highs and lows to optimise performance, energy, and overall well-being.
