Here are some simple ways to raise testosterone, based on our research.

1. Be lean. Lean men have much higher testosterone than obese men. Eliminating seed oils and other junk food from your diet can help you stay lean. More info on seed oils here.

2. Eat carbs, protein, and saturated fat. Heavily restricting carbs or saturated fat can hurt your testosterone.
3. Improve your thyroid function. The thyroid has major influence over the other hormones, like testosterone. Check if you have autoimmune thyroid disease which is surprisingly common and seems to be caused, for many people, by excessive iodine in the diet. More info on that here.
4. Sleep well! Sleep is when a lot of testosterone is released into your bloodstream.
5. Our research suggests that pesticides are probably responsible for a big drop in testosterone. You can eat low pesticide foods and filter your water to remove pesticides.

6. Many personal care products, such as moisturizer or body wash, contain “xenoestrogens” which are unnatural chemicals which act like estrogen and lower testosterone. There are guides to xenoestrogen-free products on our other site.
7. Microplastics are another type of endocrine disruptor that lowers testosterone. Most of the microplastics that get into your body come from polyester clothes (and other synthetic fabric clothes). Polyester is a type of plastic. Tiny polyester dust particles are rubbing off your clothes. Your body absorbs these microplastics in your polyester underwear. You also breathe in this polyester microplastic dust from your clothes, and it gets into your body. Those microplastics lower testosterone. We have a guide to 100% natural fiber underwear, free of the microplastics that damage your hormones.

Hans Amato from Testonation.com is my recommendation for raising your testosterone. I’m very picky about recommending someone, because most guides don’t know what they’re talking about, and I’m not ethically comfortable with sending my readers to someone who can’t help. I waited a long time before I settled on Hans. He is one of the only coaches who genuinely understands the reasons for hormone levels changing. You can check out his results and his ideas on his site. His results speak for themselves – over 1200 ng/dl testosterone.
