Sleep, Stress and Breath for Optimal Testosterone Levels: 🔷
Sleep, stress and breath are our absolute pillars of health. Particularly sleep, if you are consistently not getting the quality rest your body needs to rebuild and repair, everything else you are doing to create sound health and happy hormones will be considerably impaired. Plus, lack of sleep can decrease the production of testosterone.
🔷There is an obvious interplay between the breath and the body’s stress response. The breath is an effective vessel that can be used to reduce our sympathetic stress response (fight, flight, freeze). The breath is a fairly instant (and free) therapy we can use to create harmony within the cells and system as a whole. 🔷When we draw deeper and slower breaths our body receives the signal that it can relax. This opens up the space for the parasympathetic phase to kick in (rest and digest). The more we operate from a parasympathetic place the more our endocrine and nervous systems deem the body to be a safe and fertile environment. This allows our sex hormones to keep in tune with the melody of good health.
🔷
When we are in a constant state of sympathetic dominance or “stress” the body’s music becomes noise and all manner of topsy turvy hormonal imbalance can ensue.
🔷
Setting up a foundation of health that revolves around these three pillars, helps the rest of the steps fall into place. After all you actually need to have enough energy or Jing essence to make positive change no matter how good your conscious intentions are. This is why the Jing herbs, and a lifestyle that doesn’t sap our energy, is so important also. Supporting yourself in this way puts you in the best position to embody the aspects of health you desire.
