I agree, if you have a "chronic" problem then you should definitely seek medical advise and help. If you are in non optimal ranges then implementing some of these strategies can help, especially if it involves simple changes like sleep, better programmed exercise, and reducing your cortisol. This is why I said this is a holistic approach. "Hacks" don't always mean quick wins, but over time small changes can equal big wins. This method worked for me and my clients. It's probably also worth noting even a small change in free levels can make a huge difference to how you feel, especially if you are not an extreme case.Thanks for your comment
I got carried away with vitamin D to increase T levels taking 7-12k daily. My D test came back 125 which is borderline toxic. My T levels came back over 800 which is a nice improvement, but I think my T levels will go down for sure now, because I have to stop D for a while and then go back to 1-5k daily.
@@don2144 wow, I take 5000iu during the summer and 7000iu during the winter as I am dark skinned and this kept my levels within optimal. Do you have a job working outside? What else did you take supplement wise? Cheers
@@joebrown6768 I've been taken that specific dose for over 5 years I'm 45 now and it's work well for me and my skin type. I have an indoor job so struggle to get sun light. I also use red light therapy in the mornings hope that helps
@@markshonestreviewsandhealt6953 I don't work outside, but try to get sun whenever time and weather permits.. My last Vitamin D test a year ago was 76 so my levels were fine . I just upped my dose to see if I could raise my T levels and it worked but was too aggressive and my D levels were already on high end to start . I take zinc, nac,b1,b3,b12,,k2,magnesium and taurine.
@@joebrown6768 If you are taking a higher dose you need to know exactly your level your starting from. I was on high dose for about six months thinking I would go from 76 to 90 or 100 at most . Did not even think 125 was possible, but now I know. If you are starting from a lower level then I would think 10k daily would be ok for a while and then test to know for sure.
Walking is the best exercise to lose fat and increase testosterone. If you walk more than 10,000 steps, you burn a good amount of calories and cortisol stays low. And you get light and vitamin D, which is considered very important.
Yes, love this, I agree from a fat loss perspective and reducing Cortisol this is a must walking in nature has so many benefits. Overall, a combination of HIIT and strength training is considered optimal for boosting testosterone levels, while relying solely on cardio may not provide the same hormonal benefits. Unfortunately, we have become people of the indoors including myself. This is why I try to use a D3 lamp and red light as in the UK winter is not always convenient or easy to get sun light. The light from either artificial or the sun has been shown to convert D into active D3. Great stuff thanks for the comment
@@GaryGeezer-l2s if that works for you my friend that is the way forward. Hopefully, a combination of bio hacks, supplements and the sigma grindset can bring on the Alpha 💪
@@AndrewFraser-j7v hey, it all depends on how you feel. I would always recommend going to your gp and having your levels checked just in case it isn't t levels but maybe something else, low iron,B vitamins macronutrients etc things like sleep, stress management and movement are always priorities no matter if you are trying to increase your health or test levels so prioritize those if you know they are poor hope that helps 😊

The best hack is to embrace the sigma grindset and edge like Patrick Bateman

which k2 was that mk4 or mk7 I know the only one which really works is the animal source one ? WAPF.
@@ndudman8 the one I have linked in the description is the one I use it's MK7 hope that helps you
If my test levels are lower than 250 should I see a Dr?
