If you want to maintain a higher level of Testosterone as you get older there are a few considerations. 1: Your diet and lifestyle.. If you are sedentary and are storing too much fat(estrogen) you're going to run into issue's which bring's me to my next point 2: Physical duress. There's nothing wrong with going for walks or hoping on a treadmill or doing light workouts.. These all have health benefits, but if you want to elevate your testosterone you need to put your body under considerable physically stress. The best way to do this is to progressively implement and sustain a strength training workout. Building muscle is paramount to a man's physical and hormonal well being. Which brings me to my last point. 3: The psychology of agression. As men get older and become cogs in the machine and or father's, grandfather's men become nurturer's rather than conquerors. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. It's part of our growth but it's something to be cognizant of. In your 40's and beyond you're most likely not going to be competing for woman or playing competitive sports but there needs to be something where you can channel aggression positively. Once again, the gym is the perfect arena for this if you go with the right mindset. In my experience too many guy's of all ages treat the gym like a social club and by doing so greatly impede thier results. This doesn't mean you have to be an over the top rage machine. But you want to keep a certain level of agression in your actions in your intent. Lastly kid's, don't do gear unless you plan on being an IFBB pro. You'll thank me later.
At 46 and after over 4 years of being completely off my fitness routine (I was working out, cycling, mountain biking, and hiking a lot for several years prior) I got fat n weak again. Started back up on the fitness routine a month ago and performance and fitness and mental levels are coming back up. My only problem is sleep as I've always been a light sleeper my whole life, averaging 5-6 hours or so each night. Eating habits are typically whole foods which I home cook so no issues there. Anyhow, information presented there is spot on. Keep on rockin'! 🤟
Do a sleep apnea study if you can. I'm also a light sleeper, or rather i was, until i started using an apnea mouth piece, helped me greatly to improve my sleep
The same company that sells the LMR tincture he mentioned, also sells a sleep tincture! It's been a game changer for me. Should be on that same link he put up. It's called serenity
serenity is a great product I use for the nights Im really having trouble. But every night i take i high quality magnesium supplement on an empty stomach before bed. helps calm the nerves and give me better sleep. just dont get magnesium oxide, terroble stuff
❤ i have insom. For many years. N i practiced meditation, n fix my insom after 7 night practice. breath Inhale n exhale from noise n focus on point between upper lip n under noise at the centre of 2 noise holes.
@@ergusmurgus1465 I second that by saying that breathing has a huge effect on sleep, and doing 4-7-8 breathing every day and prior to sleep as well as taping your mouth can make a difference. Also, the obvious, get rid of all stimulants as well as alcohol and retest. No sugar before bedtime, as this can mess with a hormone that suppresses the urge to urinate at night. So better a protein rich food 3 hours before bed and little carbs. Do this for 2 weeks and come back to report.
For the kids watching this, just know that as long as you are working out consistently right now and dieting and getting decent results, even as you get older and fall off possibly from routine due to life just know that the foundation you are building now will make your life 10x easier when having to get back on the train. People who do struggle 10x more as they are not only weak to begin with in older age but also have to contend with lower testosterone unlike y'all where it's just flipping on switch to produce more from muscle memory.
Good points. Would recommend never going to zero. 5-10 movements and doing just 1 set shouldn’t take long and will have many benefits. (And I’m not taking about Mike Mentzer single sets. Don’t even have to go to pure failure. Just move the body with resistance.)
@@aieahi1 going to failure is not it fr. But it makes me feel accomplished. About a year later I've gone nowhere. Just falling ill, getting sore, falling off and starting all over. Like Sisyphus
I'm 15 I eat 7 whole large eggs everyday, half a raw onion everyday, 1 or 2+ tablespoons of raw honey everyday (preferably raw organic honey), get sunlight everyday, workout relatively frequently and intense, one thing I've noticed is my voice got deeper much quicker in one year from doing all this, also thankfully because we are fortunate enough we almost always have some sort of food or protein in the food my mom makes everyday, mainly beef but sometimes chicken, and my main source of grains of rice and potatoes

Don't mistake your, "ability to handle stress", or now lack thereof, with other issues, like cptsd. I am also 35, and the only reason that I learned I had cptsd was because of my kids, and they're struggles. I was not aware that I was constantly living in a state of stress/anxiety to perform at a level which I thought was acceptable. Turns out it went waaaaaaay deeper than that. Listen to your body, if it is telling you the stress is too much, listen to it. Find out what is causing your body to act that way. He literally says it in the video, our bodies don't decline with age if we take care of ourselves. Sometimes we just don't know what that *actually* looks like due to social norms or expectations
I walk on my treadmill for 30 minutes a day & lift heavy weights 3 times a week, eat healthy but no fast food or instant meals. Two 25lbs dumbbells & a heavy 45lbs kettlebell for leg workouts is all I use. So far that has worked best for me.
Sweet. I love this info. It is simple but really this advice should be for all ages. Doesn’t matter who or where they’re at. The human body has functions it follows and that is reason enough to know more about it in every way
Thank you for this , I plan to reevaluate my lifestyle choices. I began having chronic acute panic attacks for the first time ever when I was 29 years old. Presumably due to extended periods of high levels of stress. I had never thought to consider the effect it might have on other physiological body chemistry! 🙏
Great video! I would actually save there’s 2 types of stresses: - external stress (you have no control) - self inflicted stress (you have control) I believe the latter boosts your testosterone, don’t take my word for it 👌🏾
@@iii___iii Bowls and ditches. There’s legions of skaters over 60 still doing their thing on vertical walls. I’m in a group page and many of these old timers are really phenomenal skateboarders.
Awesome video - the bodies’ “use or lose” policy seems like a cruel mistress, being old isn’t the excuse, it was always being lazy. I kinda had this notion so I’ve been hitting the gym hard and taking care of myself. Good to know it’s a worthy pursuit.
I am 38 and a teacher of the trade skills and tickets I practiced as a younger man. As the months go on i genuinely consider going back to the most basic aspects of my job (essentially building steel structures) so I can have that daily flogging the work provided. I thought by upskilling I would counter against the effects of aging. In retrospect it's probably the opposite.
Your content is amazing. Ty so much for what you do. A lot of good channels out there but you are the only one I allow notifications for. Thanks again!

After 40 with natural healthy test levels and high end energy . Some form of movement or activity 7 days a week kept from being on TRT at 35 discussing after work naps and not touching wife for months at a time. Solid info in the vid, entertaining watch as always.
I love the mental reframing part. I've made it a bit of a joke in my work place, that anytime any challenge pops up, my response is: "Good!" Sometimes even forced bravado brings up moral a bit. "Good! I like that we have to carry all of our gear up this hill. I wish we had to carry it farther!"
Your videos are informational & practical.... Can u make a video on why it is important to warm up before any sport, workout etc....how to warm up based on our requirements (like gym , calisthenics,sports , running) & wt are the aspects should be considered while doing ....and importance of cool down
Maybe easy for some, not easy for everyone. Cutting stress factors from your life is not something everyone can just decide to do and it's done overnight. When there are medical issues that prevent you from sleeping or working out (or both), which causes you to stress over that fact, the stress factor cannot just be cut out. Then there are work, family, and several other issues that add on to your stress levels. As you may have guessed, these comments apply to my current situation, and if I could just drop the stress factors, I would.
Great video, man. I've been doing most of what you mention, but I will need to add LMR to the mix. Living in the west in and of itself is a fight against health deterioration. Bad food, a lot of work and so many other stress factors. Every time I'm about to fall, you upload a video to pick me back up. Thank you so much for keeping me on toes.
Its becoming a serious issue in modern life. I think its reaching a breaking point. Im seeing more and more people just opt out of the daily hustle and are finding other ways to live. Its tough though. Im in there fighting the same fight, trying to find ways to make life better and improve health. Best of luck on your journey my friend
The herbalist that makes these tinctures is a badass. I take a few of hers. Sometimes we just need a little help to get over the hump. Life in the West takes a huge toll on our bodies and minds. I love that he's always bringing us back to our roots with all his videos. Nothing but respect for everyone here that's constantly getting back up and fighting for their health and wellness
Great video, great artwork, comfortable narrative and voice. Thanks for highlighting the emotional mental aspect, one thing many overlook. I've always been pretty fit, until my last tailbone injury, and a recent breakup, which put me into a tailspin. Felt my energy level drop significantly. I'm managing to climb back up getting a handle on my emotions and understanding myself on a deeper and uncomfortable level. Many people try and keep a high spirit glossing over insecurities, but it is our weaknesses that get the better of us, the painful places are the best indicator that there is something to pay more attention to, so practicing stilling and softening the mind and body once or several times daily helps overcome blockages and maintain equilibrium and healing. Sleep helps. Releasing excess optimizes health.
I'm 72, started lifting when i was 12, and have consistently tried to learn new things every day over my lifetime. As a older weight lifter I have been focusing on the anatomy and kinesiology of strength training for the last six years. I get my T levels checked annually and I continue to stay within the appropriate range. Good diet, rest, lots of water and exercises to maintain muscle mass, low body fat, flexibility, balance, and cardio vascular health. I'm not a young buck but my T levels are still good.
Can you make video on the fundamentals of agility in athleticism ( honorable mention : try to make a siries on the pillars or fundamentals of athleticism )
I'm 43, I can lower my testosterone in as little as 6 months develop gyno get fat and feel tired,I've tried it. Or I can increase my test natural by sleeping well, working with focus, eating well fasting & exercising correctly such as yoga kettlebells. The choice is up to YOU
this is a great channel , i love your content and pls make a video on how to balance your lower body height if your torso is comparatevely longer in length than your lower body in puberty
Absolutely. Quit 3 months ago and my strength has shot up significantly everywhere. I box and do bjj, and the carry over being sugar free has, is phenomenal
@@theforsakeen177that’s irrelevant. The OP was talking about exogenous sugar. When completely eliminating sugar from the diet, and eating primarily fat and protein from animals, EVERY health marker significantly improves. That’s a fact.
@moversodyssey Man, I just came across this channel, and I'm loving this. You really should be proud of just how much work has gone into everything. Channels like yours are what actually keeps TH-cam worth watching and you're doing some good in the world with all this info. Absolute fire man, much love and I hope you keep pumping it!
Sprint. Just Sprint. Be active, eat healthy, sleep better YES and then, add sprinting to your routine. 2-3 workouts of 15 mins each in a week. That's it. Your testosterone will go through the roof. Peace.
I started feats of strength - bending nails, shredding decks of cards, heavy kettlebell juggling .. at age 34 - and I am feeling pretty good, a lot more solid overall than when I just worked out but a lot of that comes down to having fun and being committed to the outcome
Could you make a video on how to deal with chronic pain I have arthritis and I have had to pause athletics training and competitions because of the pain
Instead of ZMA...just go carnivore. Beef & other red meats are best, but especially if budget is a factor (and who is it not a factor for these days?!?!) chicken, pork, eggs, sardines, butter, even bacon. Only salt to taste. Only water. Cut caffeine to help reduce cortisol. Organic/free range/grass fed is again, best, but ANY meat is better than cheap, nutrition-less carbs.
Yup, great advice. I went that route and had raging hard ons. But somehow I developed odd palpitations. Could have been the bacon... took me a while to enjoy steaks again. Turns out u can quickly get disgusted with repetitive food types. Point being it's not a one size fits all approach.
Fun Fact - you won’t be able to get your TRT during a zombie apocalypse nor any other societal emergency. Now what??? Vertically “integrate and make your own T bro!! Turning 59 soon. I roll my own T. 💪🏽💪🏽
Very good research, I'd like to highlight 2 other factors that inhibit testosterone levels that are the toxic deodorant or clothes washing detergents there's a variety of non toxic products available and by consciously prioritising these natural products enables our bodies to produce strength through testosterone. 💪🏼💪🏼
If you don’t wear deodorant you will smell like piece of shit right? It’s unhygienic mate regardless if you shower on a daily basis. How you gonna wash your clothes with no detergent then?
The problem is some of us are doing everything we can to increase it naturally and are still suffering the effects of low T, as in lower than the minimum “normal” level.
Hey bud. Have you considered doing a video about the sumo exercise known as the shiko? It's a little-known movement outside of Japan. I happen to like it. Check it out.
I actually just put that on my list of future videos. Also a sumo stance style of push up I'm always seeing the sumo wrestlers do right before the match. Not sure if it has a name, but it's a great alternative to the pike press for those who don't have the flexibility.
I'd love to see the studies on holy basil, I'd never heard of it before this video and I didn't really find much on it besides one animal study, but that also spoke about it's potential to reduce fertility🤔
Considering some natural options to try and help boost your testosterone is definitely a good thing to think about, especially if you’re under 30 years old. That part out of the way, let’s say for example that your total testosterone is in the 100’s or low 200’s. Many people find themselves in the low 200’s to maybe 300 and they are already eating healthy and exercising. In this situation your body is already not producing. The reality is that there is nothing “natural” that can be done to raise a free testosterone score from 230 to 800-1000. It’s too big of a difference. Natural options simply cannot compete with synthetic testosterone cypionate. And yes, once on it it’s best to just stay on it. You can easily stay on it for 30-40 years if need be. Many men already have. There is so much evidence and studies that show that having healthy physiological levels of testosterone can potentially help to avoid many other diseases and health related issues. If you can combine trt with a truly healthy and committed lifestyle to eating right, staying hydrated and doing resistance training with some cardio, you’ll be far better off and look and feel better than the other guys who are not on trt and living a healthy lifestyle.
Great info! Is the TML good quality? Have you noticed a difference? Considering ordering it. I’ve taken some of the ingredients in the past but never all together like this. Looking to boost my free test levels naturally. Curious to know how much it helped raise test.
I really like it, it's not for everyone I would say because it's all in an alcohol based tincture. I know some people don't like that, but it really ramps up the absorption in my experience. You take the equivalent of maybe half a shot glass and for me the blood starts pumping a lot better, I get more energy but not the jittery caffeine kind. It's more like the type of energy you get from being angry only your not angry. When I'm feeling over burdened and really run down I often take it and it can really help me get through the day. But if I'm not working out hard or in need of adrenal support I usually just take a holy basil capsule or make some damiana tea so I don't waste the LMR. As a side note, its been so good as increasing circulation it's been selling as a male enhancement formula as well. Lol
3:59 I'd kindly suggest lowering if not remiving the background music, why? 1- distraction 2- people's taste are different 3- educational need focus on words All the above ceeate some tension on the viewer. Also I'd kindly suggest the zooming in and out to be tamed if not completly removed, Why? 1- focus ! Because to me the work you are doing is so good on so many levels, Educational Artistic Hard work and well sought. Its a shame to be following the trend that will not last when it can get close to be classic... That's me, if people like that... you know better. Finally, just like the hormesis effect, this is a chronic tension on the viewer in regards of the video lifespan.
Thank you for your suggestions. The music originally started because my mic isn't very good and it picks up a lot of subtle background noise, so the music covers that. I've had numerous comments about the music though, some positive some negative. In the most recent videos I've taken the volume down further. If you're up for it, you could listen to one of those and see if it still causes the same distraction and let me know. I consider the feedback valuable. I'm ordering a new mic this month and I think I'm going to try a video without background music and see what the feedback is like. Going to play around with ways of making my office more sound proof as well.
@@moversodyssey Hi again, as any business know you cannot satisfy all tastes that's why there's a target public, In fact I supposed you had that problem, I think who likes the music are younger generation and not 100£ content oriented , i understand its a business decision and at the end of the day you gotta chose but also at the end of the day the content is the primary strength, so not much to risk imo if the music is absent (more on that in a moment). I was first attracted to your channel with the hirse stance which I already knew but I got something additional from it and I can't remember that it has distraction music but I do remember it was worthy I even saved it. An idea would be implementing bits of background music at some sections of the clip, the monotony isnt a focus friendly thing in fact hypnotism uses monotone voice, so... I know some bits of music It would not only not annoy me but I'd be liking it most probably, and more work for you) )! I suggest you watch Alex Hormosi, a great narrator, I dont think he uses bg music. Which video would you like me to watch just send me the title
@@oshkotosh2341 I'll check out Alex Hormosi, I've not heard of him up to this point. I'm curious what I'll find. Here's a recent video with a more subdued background track th-cam.com/video/H59XK2hVTH8/w-d-xo.html It's certainly impossible to satisfy everyone, what one person hates, another loves. I'm looking for the information to be easily absorbed for the mission of the channel, and yet still entertaining enough for the business end of the channel. It's an ever changing work in progress, but I'm slowing honing in on a roughly standard approach to the videos so I can focus on cranking out quality content. I've accepted the next year will be filled with experiments and changes before settling into a closer-to-permanent video style. Thanks again for he feed back
@@moversodyssey now that we've duscussed that I started to notice what others are doing, Alex Hormosi has it low sometimes its a bit higher but if you check squat university you'll notice in his short clips that he starts with musuc loud as if its setring the mood and when he start the instructions zero bg music. You'll figure out what's best because you're thinking about it and working on it so I'm not worried )

Mine are 1345 ng/dl a age 30 they were the same at 24 , Completly natural, i always knew something was up, I gain muscle like crazy, without working out, never have not had pecs , abs, toned arms and 10 to less than ten percent body fat that pure muscle, People assume i work out even when i had to take a 10 year break due to sudden siezures at age 20, the seizures were not due to the abnormal t levels, they were a nerve issue and they still cant figure it out. I'm back in the gym at my 13th day, working out every 5 days, and it was like my pump just never went down, and i grew fast again, people can be genetic freaks, however.... I have terrible anxiety
Ive heard this before, because in general minerals compete for absorbtion. However i do very good results with zma, perhaps the results may be even better if I took them seperatly.
@@moversodyssey I see. I personally take all my supplements during the day, and Mg before sleep (I don’t take Mg daily though, maybe once every two weeks). Have a good day.
Yea pretty much, I used to drink everything out of plastic bottles. But recently I had to get a filter with no plastic parts and start despensing it into glass bottles I take around with me. Had a toxicology test last year and my microplastic levels were through the roof. Its crazy how much can collect in your body.
I love ashwaganda, it makes me feel great. But I always cycle on and off it carefully when I use it because it will start to blunt your serotonin production. After about 3 weeks of it I can even feel it, nothing seems to excite me anymore. Didn't know about the dht effects, but I'm going to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
@@moversodyssey that's the DHT effect not serotonin. You want serotonin blunted more or less. The less serotonin the more dopamine and that's the neurological pathway that makes you feel good, pleasure, reward etc. Cycle everything but especially be careful with ashwaghanda. There's heaps.of cases on Reddit and TH-cam of men that have taken ashwaghanda and as a result have anhedonia. For me personally after taking it for 1 week I started to feel numb and emotionless.
Before watching this.
1. Sleep at least 8 hours per night.
2. Eat lots of protein.
3. Lift weights.
Healthy Fats. Low fat diets reduce testosterone.
Protein is definitely overrated. Healthy Fats increase T
My T at 63 is that of an old lady. So adding in DHEA, Boron, and Taurine into the mix.
Try to do more calisthenics than weight lifting
@@onaroad2riches736That's true about fats, but we definitely need to increase protein as we age, the research studies has shown this👍
" As a man,It's ok to be weak, but it's not ok to remain weak"👍💪
Everyone is weak; everyone is strong.
Amen
It should be “start out weak” instead of “be weak”
true. it is not your fault if you grow up in bad environment but it is your duty to fix your life.

Sweet. I love this info. It is simple but really this advice should be for all ages. Doesn’t matter who or where they’re at. The human body has functions it follows and that is reason enough to know more about it in every way
We got this! Stay strong, my friends! 💪
Thank you for this , I plan to reevaluate my lifestyle choices. I began having chronic acute panic attacks for the first time ever when I was 29 years old. Presumably due to extended periods of high levels of stress. I had never thought to consider the effect it might have on other physiological body chemistry! 🙏
Great video!
I would actually save there’s 2 types of stresses:
- external stress (you have no control)
- self inflicted stress (you have control)
I believe the latter boosts your testosterone, don’t take my word for it 👌🏾
It depends on how you handle both the stresses.
You believe the latter? Wym the latter?

Awesome video - the bodies’ “use or lose” policy seems like a cruel mistress, being old isn’t the excuse, it was always being lazy. I kinda had this notion so I’ve been hitting the gym hard and taking care of myself. Good to know it’s a worthy pursuit.
I am 38 and a teacher of the trade skills and tickets I practiced as a younger man. As the months go on i genuinely consider going back to the most basic aspects of my job (essentially building steel structures) so I can have that daily flogging the work provided. I thought by upskilling I would counter against the effects of aging. In retrospect it's probably the opposite.
Your content is amazing. Ty so much for what you do. A lot of good channels out there but you are the only one I allow notifications for. Thanks again!
Thank you for the comment! Im glad you feel your getting something from the content. Its been a busy few months but I plan on making a lot more soon. Thanks for watching!
These videos are helpful, but they are also art.
After 40 with natural healthy test levels and high end energy . Some form of movement or activity 7 days a week kept from being on TRT at 35 discussing after work naps and not touching wife for months at a time. Solid info in the vid, entertaining watch as always.
I love the mental reframing part. I've made it a bit of a joke in my work place, that anytime any challenge pops up, my response is: "Good!" Sometimes even forced bravado brings up moral a bit. "Good! I like that we have to carry all of our gear up this hill. I wish we had to carry it farther!"
Your videos are informational & practical....
Can u make a video on why it is important to warm up before any sport, workout etc....how to warm up based on our requirements (like gym , calisthenics,sports , running) & wt are the aspects should be considered while doing ....and importance of cool down
It's easy: cut stress factors from your life, eat conservative (a little less than you want), workout consistently but not exessively.
Maybe easy for some, not easy for everyone. Cutting stress factors from your life is not something everyone can just decide to do and it's done overnight. When there are medical issues that prevent you from sleeping or working out (or both), which causes you to stress over that fact, the stress factor cannot just be cut out. Then there are work, family, and several other issues that add on to your stress levels. As you may have guessed, these comments apply to my current situation, and if I could just drop the stress factors, I would.
Fun fact Most of the people watching this video are hardly 25
I thought I was going to be the only one
I'm 40.
Prevent decline, younggins!
It happens sooner than we think and we don't know what we had til it's gone (or going away)
I’m 17

Great video, man. I've been doing most of what you mention, but I will need to add LMR to the mix. Living in the west in and of itself is a fight against health deterioration. Bad food, a lot of work and so many other stress factors. Every time I'm about to fall, you upload a video to pick me back up. Thank you so much for keeping me on toes.
Its becoming a serious issue in modern life. I think its reaching a breaking point. Im seeing more and more people just opt out of the daily hustle and are finding other ways to live. Its tough though. Im in there fighting the same fight, trying to find ways to make life better and improve health. Best of luck on your journey my friend
The herbalist that makes these tinctures is a badass. I take a few of hers. Sometimes we just need a little help to get over the hump. Life in the West takes a huge toll on our bodies and minds. I love that he's always bringing us back to our roots with all his videos. Nothing but respect for everyone here that's constantly getting back up and fighting for their health and wellness
@@Dragonfly3111absolutely. Thank you for the encouraging words. We can do this.
@@moversodysseyThank you. I hope you have a wonderful day
Great video, great artwork, comfortable narrative and voice.
Thanks for highlighting the emotional mental aspect, one thing many overlook.
I've always been pretty fit, until my last tailbone injury, and a recent breakup, which put me into a tailspin. Felt my energy level drop significantly.
I'm managing to climb back up getting a handle on my emotions and understanding myself on a deeper and uncomfortable level. Many people try and keep a high spirit glossing over insecurities, but it is our weaknesses that get the better of us, the painful places are the best indicator that there is something to pay more attention to, so practicing stilling and softening the mind and body once or several times daily helps overcome blockages and maintain equilibrium and healing.
Sleep helps. Releasing excess optimizes health.
Great info! I like the drawing very much.
All correct and well presented.
I'm 72, started lifting when i was 12, and have consistently tried to learn new things every day over my lifetime. As a older weight lifter I have been focusing on the anatomy and kinesiology of strength training for the last six years. I get my T levels checked annually and I continue to stay within the appropriate range. Good diet, rest, lots of water and exercises to maintain muscle mass, low body fat, flexibility, balance, and cardio vascular health. I'm not a young buck but my T levels are still good.
Thanks for diving into this topic... such an important element in overall fitness & health!!
You continue to cover all bases!!! 💯🔥
Brilliant stuff as always, thank you 🙏
i really like the animations
Love these vids, keep it up
Can you make video on the fundamentals of agility in athleticism ( honorable mention : try to make a siries on the pillars or fundamentals of athleticism )
I'm 43, I can lower my testosterone in as little as 6 months develop gyno get fat and feel tired,I've tried it. Or I can increase my test natural by sleeping well, working with focus, eating well fasting & exercising correctly such as yoga kettlebells. The choice is up to YOU
Awesome work buddy. pls keep it up. thx very much
Based. Glad more ppl are aware of micro plastics. Change tableware for glass ones.
this is a great channel , i love your content and pls make a video on how to balance your lower body height if your torso is comparatevely longer in length than your lower body in puberty
I love your videos. Always something good that I can either incorporate in my daily routines or add to my knowledge pool. Keep up the good work. 👍
Glad your enjoying them!
Sugar makes you a wimp
completely agree, stopping sugar makes more difference for me than just about any other lifestyle change.
Absolutely. Quit 3 months ago and my strength has shot up significantly everywhere. I box and do bjj, and the carry over being sugar free has, is phenomenal
@@thebodykeepsthescore2828 ultimately most of the thing you consume that get converted into energy do break down into glucose(sugar) in your body.
@@theforsakeen177that’s irrelevant. The OP was talking about exogenous sugar. When completely eliminating sugar from the diet, and eating primarily fat and protein from animals, EVERY health marker significantly improves. That’s a fact.
Yes, booze and porn as well..
Great graphics / drawings 😍
I did all those things and my T started to drop at 38. TRT completely changed my life
Thank you for motivation guys 🙏
Do a video on winging scapula and weak serratus anterior and how to fix it just like the video you did on glutes
Could you make a video about how we can train our heart. What effects the heart and how we can train that muscle to increase also our heart health?
@moversodyssey
Man, I just came across this channel, and I'm loving this. You really should be proud of just how much work has gone into everything.
Channels like yours are what actually keeps TH-cam worth watching and you're doing some good in the world with all this info.
Absolute fire man, much love and I hope you keep pumping it!
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad your getting something out of the content!
I liked your video. Keep it up .
Sprint. Just Sprint. Be active, eat healthy, sleep better YES and then, add sprinting to your routine. 2-3 workouts of 15 mins each in a week. That's it. Your testosterone will go through the roof. Peace.
awesome video. thank you.
Great vid man. Thank you
Magnificent Video :) !
Thank you very much!
Thank you your videos are great
I started feats of strength - bending nails, shredding decks of cards, heavy kettlebell juggling .. at age 34 - and I am feeling pretty good, a lot more solid overall than when I just worked out but a lot of that comes down to having fun and being committed to the outcome
Could you make a video on how to deal with chronic pain I have arthritis and I have had to pause athletics training and competitions because of the pain
@jasonbills8385 thanks will try that
Instead of ZMA...just go carnivore. Beef & other red meats are best, but especially if budget is a factor (and who is it not a factor for these days?!?!) chicken, pork, eggs, sardines, butter, even bacon. Only salt to taste. Only water. Cut caffeine to help reduce cortisol. Organic/free range/grass fed is again, best, but ANY meat is better than cheap, nutrition-less carbs.
Yup, great advice. I went that route and had raging hard ons. But somehow I developed odd palpitations. Could have been the bacon... took me a while to enjoy steaks again. Turns out u can quickly get disgusted with repetitive food types. Point being it's not a one size fits all approach.
Keep it up Josh!!! Looks amazing. Thanks for all the info!!
Glad you like man!
Great stuff.
we shall win
Another Banger!
Fun Fact - you won’t be able to get your TRT during a zombie apocalypse nor any other societal emergency. Now what??? Vertically “integrate and make your own T bro!! Turning 59 soon. I roll my own T. 💪🏽💪🏽
Always a treat seeing an upload from you, keep going!
Very good research, I'd like to highlight 2 other factors that inhibit testosterone levels that are the toxic deodorant or clothes washing detergents there's a variety of non toxic products available and by consciously prioritising these natural products enables our bodies to produce strength through testosterone. 💪🏼💪🏼
If you don’t wear deodorant you will smell like piece of shit right? It’s unhygienic mate regardless if you shower on a daily basis. How you gonna wash your clothes with no detergent then?
Good videos and information thank you
thank you
All these videos say the same thing. Work out, eat healthy and get enough sleep.
Isnt it magical how simple it is, yet 80% of people still don't do any of them??
The problem is some of us are doing everything we can to increase it naturally and are still suffering the effects of low T, as in lower than the minimum “normal” level.
Must mean something🤔
Hey bud. Have you considered doing a video about the sumo exercise known as the shiko? It's a little-known movement outside of Japan. I happen to like it. Check it out.
I actually just put that on my list of future videos. Also a sumo stance style of push up I'm always seeing the sumo wrestlers do right before the match. Not sure if it has a name, but it's a great alternative to the pike press for those who don't have the flexibility.
I'd love to see the studies on holy basil, I'd never heard of it before this video and I didn't really find much on it besides one animal study, but that also spoke about it's potential to reduce fertility🤔
another banger !
How about those who had thyroid cancer and had total thyroidectamy?
Considering some natural options to try and help boost your testosterone is definitely a good thing to think about, especially if you’re under 30 years old.
That part out of the way, let’s say for example that your total testosterone is in the 100’s or low 200’s. Many people find themselves in the low 200’s to maybe 300 and they are already eating healthy and exercising.
In this situation your body is already not producing. The reality is that there is nothing “natural” that can be done to raise a free testosterone score from 230 to 800-1000.
It’s too big of a difference. Natural options simply cannot compete with synthetic testosterone cypionate. And yes, once on it it’s best to just stay on it. You can easily stay on it for 30-40 years if need be. Many men already have. There is so much evidence and studies that show that having healthy physiological levels of testosterone can potentially help to avoid many other diseases and health related issues.
If you can combine trt with a truly healthy and committed lifestyle to eating right, staying hydrated and doing resistance training with some cardio, you’ll be far better off and look and feel better than the other guys who are not on trt and living a healthy lifestyle.
I went from 334 to 960 in around 3 months. This book should be essential reading for all men.

PLEASE MAKE A VIDIO ON HOW TO BOOST TESTOSTERONO IF YOU ARE A GRIL PLEASE
That LMR stuff works for women too. The herbalist gives free consults.
Could you do a video on reframing? Asking for a friend..... ;)
I love this idea. It's a fascinating subject when you deep dive into it.
Great info! Is the TML good quality? Have you noticed a difference? Considering ordering it. I’ve taken some of the ingredients in the past but never all together like this. Looking to boost my free test levels naturally. Curious to know how much it helped raise test.
I really like it, it's not for everyone I would say because it's all in an alcohol based tincture. I know some people don't like that, but it really ramps up the absorption in my experience. You take the equivalent of maybe half a shot glass and for me the blood starts pumping a lot better, I get more energy but not the jittery caffeine kind. It's more like the type of energy you get from being angry only your not angry. When I'm feeling over burdened and really run down I often take it and it can really help me get through the day. But if I'm not working out hard or in need of adrenal support I usually just take a holy basil capsule or make some damiana tea so I don't waste the LMR. As a side note, its been so good as increasing circulation it's been selling as a male enhancement formula as well. Lol
Thankyou
3:59 I'd kindly suggest lowering if not remiving the background music, why?
1- distraction
2- people's taste are different
3- educational need focus on words
All the above ceeate some tension on the viewer.
Also I'd kindly suggest the zooming in and out to be tamed if not completly removed,
Why?
1- focus !
Because to me the work you are doing is so good on so many levels,
Educational
Artistic
Hard work and well sought.
Its a shame to be following the trend that will not last when it can get close to be classic...
That's me, if people like that... you know better.
Finally, just like the hormesis effect, this is a chronic tension on the viewer in regards of the video lifespan.
Thank you for your suggestions. The music originally started because my mic isn't very good and it picks up a lot of subtle background noise, so the music covers that.
I've had numerous comments about the music though, some positive some negative. In the most recent videos I've taken the volume down further. If you're up for it, you could listen to one of those and see if it still causes the same distraction and let me know. I consider the feedback valuable.
I'm ordering a new mic this month and I think I'm going to try a video without background music and see what the feedback is like. Going to play around with ways of making my office more sound proof as well.
@@moversodyssey Hi again, as any business know you cannot satisfy all tastes that's why there's a target public, In fact I supposed you had that problem, I think who likes the music are younger generation and not 100£ content oriented , i understand its a business decision and at the end of the day you gotta chose but also at the end of the day the content is the primary strength, so not much to risk imo if the music is absent (more on that in a moment).
I was first attracted to your channel with the hirse stance which I already knew but I got something additional from it and I can't remember that it has distraction music but I do remember it was worthy I even saved it.
An idea would be implementing bits of background music at some sections of the clip, the monotony isnt a focus friendly thing in fact hypnotism uses monotone voice, so... I know some bits of music It would not only not annoy me but I'd be liking it most probably, and more work for you) )!
I suggest you watch Alex Hormosi, a great narrator, I dont think he uses bg music.
Which video would you like me to watch just send me the title
@@oshkotosh2341 I'll check out Alex Hormosi, I've not heard of him up to this point. I'm curious what I'll find.
Here's a recent video with a more subdued background track th-cam.com/video/H59XK2hVTH8/w-d-xo.html
It's certainly impossible to satisfy everyone, what one person hates, another loves. I'm looking for the information to be easily absorbed for the mission of the channel, and yet still entertaining enough for the business end of the channel. It's an ever changing work in progress, but I'm slowing honing in on a roughly standard approach to the videos so I can focus on cranking out quality content. I've accepted the next year will be filled with experiments and changes before settling into a closer-to-permanent video style. Thanks again for he feed back
@@moversodyssey now that we've duscussed that I started to notice what others are doing, Alex Hormosi has it low sometimes its a bit higher but if you check squat university you'll notice in his short clips that he starts with musuc loud as if its setring the mood and when he start the instructions zero bg music.
You'll figure out what's best because you're thinking about it and working on it so I'm not worried )
@@oshkotosh2341 I like these ideas, I think I might play with that on the next video. Thank again.

Mine are 1345 ng/dl a age 30 they were the same at 24 , Completly natural, i always knew something was up, I gain muscle like crazy, without working out, never have not had pecs , abs, toned arms and 10 to less than ten percent body fat that pure muscle, People assume i work out even when i had to take a 10 year break due to sudden siezures at age 20, the seizures were not due to the abnormal t levels, they were a nerve issue and they still cant figure it out. I'm back in the gym at my 13th day, working out every 5 days, and it was like my pump just never went down, and i grew fast again, people can be genetic freaks, however.... I have terrible anxiety

I take several of hers. She's got my thyroid under control without any medication. She gives free consults if you have any questions

From what I know, Zinc and Mg shouldn’t be taken together but separately because they affect each others absorption
Ive heard this before, because in general minerals compete for absorbtion. However i do very good results with zma, perhaps the results may be even better if I took them seperatly.
@@moversodyssey I see. I personally take all my supplements during the day, and Mg before sleep (I don’t take Mg daily though, maybe once every two weeks). Have a good day.
Zn and Mg can be taken together just fine, it's Calcium that should be taken alone as the body will prioritize it above all else.
Anyone here try TRT? Everyone that I know that has tried it haven’t been able to stay in it.
How the hell these videos are free?????
Great video! You said plastics. Silly question I’m sure but you mean drinking water out of plastic water bottles from 7-Eleven?
Yea pretty much, I used to drink everything out of plastic bottles. But recently I had to get a filter with no plastic parts and start despensing it into glass bottles I take around with me. Had a toxicology test last year and my microplastic levels were through the roof. Its crazy how much can collect in your body.

Ashwaghanda should be taken with caution. It blunts DHT not desirable at all
I love ashwaganda, it makes me feel great. But I always cycle on and off it carefully when I use it because it will start to blunt your serotonin production. After about 3 weeks of it I can even feel it, nothing seems to excite me anymore. Didn't know about the dht effects, but I'm going to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
@@moversodyssey that's the DHT effect not serotonin. You want serotonin blunted more or less. The less serotonin the more dopamine and that's the neurological pathway that makes you feel good, pleasure, reward etc.
Cycle everything but especially be careful with ashwaghanda. There's heaps.of cases on Reddit and TH-cam of men that have taken ashwaghanda and as a result have anhedonia.
For me personally after taking it for 1 week I started to feel numb and emotionless.
@@stm.natural_selection Are there any other supplements that have similar effects as ashwaganda without all the sides?
