Key Takeaways:
- Testosterone is a hormone that directly impacts gene expression and influences sex-related behavior.
- Nutrition is the number one cause of low testosterone, so it's important to focus on a balanced diet with adequate micronutrients and macronutrients.
- Sunlight exposure can potentially increase testosterone levels, but more research is needed to fully understand the relationship.
- Training, especially heavy lifting and challenging physical activities, is crucial for optimizing testosterone levels.
- Stress is necessary for testosterone production, but excessive stress can have negative effects on hormone balance.
- Avoiding endocrine disruptors, such as EMFs and certain plastics, is important for maintaining optimal testosterone levels.
- Having a healthy sex life, with a balance between effort and pleasure, is beneficial for testosterone production.
- Testicle temperature should be regulated to avoid overheating or excessive cooling, which can affect testosterone levels
