Changes within the natural range, including drops that lead to low levels, as well as increases that cause naturally elevated Testosterone, can have several major effects both mental and physical
Valuable research on the effects of health, lifestyle, and social mechanisms, as well as dietary studies and a look through clinical trials on the best testosterone booster supplements will all contribute to our testosterone maxing plan. Also this video is going to focus specifically on how these hormones operate in men, I’ll make a video on female hormones in the future though.
Before we see how to raise levels and the effects this has, first we need to answer the question of what does testosterone do?
Heightened Testosterone levels during development are responsible for the differentiation of the male body.
And throughout life, elevated testosterone levels in males continue to be responsible for maintaining much of their physical and behavioural differences.
Research into social endocrinology explains why one man can have levels 4 times higher than another, and while medically their levels would both be considered natural, the differences in how they think, feel and even look, might be as different as night and day.
Research shows in mammals, Testosterone’s broad range of effects exist to regulate competitive and status seeking effort By promoting behaviours and psychological states that increase the likelihood of achieving and maintaining social ranking,
It does this because with this higher rank comes access to limited resources as well as increased mating opportunities.
Rising testosterone levels in humans have been shown to promote both persistence and competitive motivation, while also reducing stress and fear.
Now it makes more sense why signs of low testosterone often include feeling the total reverse of this.
Knowing that, individuals with low Testosterone levels would be highly motivated to raise their levels. This is why we are going to also cover low testosterone causes and also treatment.
Testosterone is also understood to contribute to the likelihood of future success, and sure enough in human studies we see, increased energy levels, as well as enhanced memory, learning, and cognitive ability.
When we hear studies refer to ‘testosterone levels’ they are referring to how much is circulating in the blood.
Sometimes called the total value, this measure provides a solid idea of how much testosterone your body has to work with, with levels below 350 marking the start of what’s considered low.
When you take a testosterone test, this is the value you will be given usually.
There are a few more measures you may hear about, because Testosterone can actually circulate the blood in three different ways.
60% is SHBG bound
38% is bound to albumin.
2% is Free Testosterone
Instead of constantly going to the clinic to get these regular tests, I use a service that will mail me the test, which I then send back for my results
The majority of Testosterone in the bloodstream is produced by specialized cells called Leydig cells. It forms when Cholesterol within the cells is pulled into their mitochondria, once inside an enzyme turns it into pregnenolone, which exists to another part of the cell, where it’s converted to Testosterone.
How quickly cholesterol gets converted is controlled by luteinizing hormone
So now you may be wondering how to boost Testosterone, or specifically how to increase Testosterone naturally?
This can be split into 4 categories:
First we will be looking at the best testosterone boosters and supplements. Do testosterone boosters work?
Well, according to the research, yes. There’s considerable evidence to suggest deficiencies in Vitamin D, Zinc, and Magnesium can all lower Testosterone.
So to protect your testosterone levels always ensure you’re getting an adequate intake of these vitamins and minerals.
