1. Ditch the plastic and switch to glass
🔸Plastics contain estrogen-mimics (i.e. BPA) which latch onto our estrogen receptors and accumulate over time and therefore antagonise our androgens.

2. Maca root
🔸Include 1-2 tablespoons of organic Peruvian maca root per day in your smoothies or breakfast bowels. A potent aphrodisiac shown to be beneficial for poor erectile maintenance, sexual dysfunction and encourages male fertility.

3. Icing your testicles
🔸You read that correctly. There are well known studies citing the testosterone and androgen-supporting benefits that arise from regular application of cool packs and cold temperature therapy in this region. The testicles are outside of the body after all and excess heat in the region has been shown to reduce spermatogenesis.
15 minutes of an evening lads!

4. Get sun where the sun don’t shine
🔸Whilst the testicles don’t necessarily like excessive heat, they do respond positively to direct ultraviolet light via natural sunlight and there is a plethora of anecdotal evidence in favour of this hack. Endocrinologists studied this specifically in the late 30’s and reported 200% increases in testosterone production in their test subjects (no pun intended).

5. Upgrade your sleep
🔸Perhaps the most important and underrated one of all, as this SuperFeast Sleep article bangs home. All major hormones are synthesised when we sleep and ifyou ain’t sleepin, you ain’t makin them! Simple as that. Ditch the phone, the WiFi, the late night Netflix and dial everything down in line with the sun setting rather than keeping lights on after dark. This helps kick off that serotonin – to - melatonin cycle. A lavender oil diffuser is always a good addition, along with earlier and lighter dinners and a good pair of blue light blockers worn from 7pm onward!
