Ten Things to Do During 2015 to Increase Your Testosterone Naturally

This isn’t just for men. Women have some testosterone, too, so to every one of you, “Go Nads!” Hope you’re having a fantastic start to a fantastic new year and your resolutions are still intact. If not, you can always start again.

So, in the meantime, here are my Ten Best for 2015:

10. Dr. David Perlmutter, neurologist and nutritionist, advises to give up gluten and sugar. In his book, Grain Brain, he notes that testosterone is made from cholesterol and using statins shuts down the natural production.

9. Dr Harry Fisch, a specialist in men’s reproductive health, says do everything you can to raise testosterone levels naturally.  Lose belly fat. Cut carbs: no pizza, pasta, cookies or cake. Quit sugar.Exercise for 30 minutes a day, six days a week. Jiggle some parts of your body like you did when you were a kid and did it just because it felt good. Shake yourself loose.

8. Take inventory of your medications and supplements. Do you REALLY REALLY need the meds? Get the facts and dump the pills if you can because a lot of them will lower testosterone levels.

7. Take our hero Jack LaLanne’s advice: “If man made it, don’t eat it.” Quit all processed food, stuff from a can, and junky snacks.

6. When you’re feeling stressed to the max, stop right there for a moment and ask yourself what’s up? You might get an answer.

5. Meditate. It’s really easy. You can do it anywhere, even with your eyes open. You don’t have to tell anyone you’re doing it. Just stop everything and let the world go by.

4. Read for 20 minutes every day. It doesn’t matter what. Just focus on what the words are telling you.

3. Do you drink alcohol? If your doctor tells you one glass of wine a day is fine, what size is your glass? Did you know that drinking alcohol slows down your metabolism? Did you know alcohol lowers your testosterone?

2. What is your spirit telling you? Good things? Or is it the other one?Are you feeling happy most of the time? Check on the state of your emotions and sweep out the ones that are trying to give you grief.

1. And the number one thing you can do to increase your testosterone naturally and to have a healthy vibrant life: Sleep like a six-week old child, peaceful and sound. And remember George Carlin’s advice in Brain Droppings. “Next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper, ‘The creature is regenerating itself.”

That is what we do in the little universe that is our body, mind, spirit and soul, and it’s your brain that is in control of it all.  Oooh, what power!

Here’s to you living your best year yet filled with lots of love and tons of miracles!

Love & Miracles,
