Increase Testosterone
Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone and plays a crucial role in men’s overall health and vitality. A balanced testosterone level not only promotes muscle mass and sexual function, but also influences mood and drive. As men age, testosterone levels decline. This can lead to a testosterone deficiency. This drop in testosterone can be influenced by various measures.
Increase testosterone - measures
There are various approaches to increasing testosterone levels. Below we will look at the key points.
Eliminate micronutrient deficiencies: In order to produce testosterone, appropriate building blocks and co-factors are required. If there are micronutrient deficiencies, increasing testosterone is difficult.
Eliminate hidden inflammation: Hidden inflammation, also called silent inflammation in the body, e.g. leaky gut or jaw inflammation, can significantly disrupt the immune system and hormonal balance. These inflammations should be diagnosed and treated.
Intestinal cleansing: A healthy intestine is an essential prerequisite for the body to function properly. With the help of an intestinal cleanse, intestinal problems such as dysbiosis, leaky gut or SIBO can be eliminated.
Reduce stress: Reducing stress through meditation or other relaxation techniques can counteract chronic stress by lowering cortisol and thus having a positive effect on hormonal balance. Physical stress, e.g. caused by a hidden TMJ disorder, should also be taken into account.
Diet: Eat more protein-rich foods and healthy fats (e.g. Omega 3). Avoid processed foods and products that have a high toxic load. Alcohol should also be avoided.
Exercise: Regular, moderate exercise can have a positive effect on testosterone levels. It is important to take an individual approach so that exercise does not lead to exhaustion and consequently to health problems.
Sleep: Make sure you get enough and restful sleep, as lack of sleep can throw your hormones out of balance.
Avoid plastic: Avoid water and food in plastic packaging. The components of plastic, e.g. phthalates, can disrupt the hormonal balance and lead to a testosterone deficiency.
Detoxify the body: People with a testosterone deficiency often have a chronic toxin load. You can detoxify the body with the help of individually planned therapies.
