How does one increase testosterone naturally? I'm 19 and I feel tired all the time, have quick changes of mood, feel weak physically and don't gain muscle mass very easily no matter how hard I work out and eat healthily.
Is it maybe cuz I'm still developing or should I worry?
test maxes out around 21-22 i think, your test will still increase
cut out estrogen rich food like soy and bran
also squats and diddlylifts
Joseph Rodriguez
Eat more protein fella, about 1.5g per kg of bodyweight. Test synthesises protein, eating more protein generally helps raise T levels. Also, drink more water.
Ian Cooper
Fap and eat your own cum nigga, then repeat
Landon Cook
Not every fucking problem is caused by low testosterone for fucks sake
Ethan Lewis
A 2010 meta-analysis of fifteen placebo-controlled studies said that "neither soy foods nor isoflavone supplements alter measures of bioavailable testosterone concentrations in men." Furthermore, isoflavone supplementation has no effect on sperm concentration, count or motility, and it leads to no observable changes in testicular or ejaculate volume.
Tyler Jones
you're probably right, but it doesnt say that it doesnt increase estrogen
more estrogen = gyno/harder gains/moodier
Owen Diaz
iirc there's another study that food that contains phytoestrogens have no significant impact on estrogen levels in men
Alexander Martin
It could be also related to a bad sleep schedule, bad eating habits (not enough nutrients, minerals and vitamins), you being a wuss, not training nearly as hard as you think, undiscovered health problems, etc.
Not all of your problems can be fixed by testosterone, life is not that easy. If you feel unhealthy you should probably consult a doctor and not Veeky Forums.

Why is test bad for u when it has health and mental benefits
What if i cruised on 250 forever and had the test level of zeus on a faily basis
Isaac Brown
and Veeky Forums is to the right
Liam Martin
Aside from the fact that you'll likely end up cruising forever, there are no downsides to that.
The hard part would be resisting cruising on 1g tren 1g test, in my experience
Hunter Stewart
Increasing testosterone "naturally" is a meme. Nothing you can do short of steroids will have any worthwhile effect, because even if you raise it some appreciable X% that increase in test doesn't have the kind of effect you'd think it would. It isn't until you greatly exceed the upper limit of the "normal" range that results start to become significant.
If you're genuinely concerned about your testosterone, go to the doctor and ask for a test, it's very simple. If you actually have low T you can discuss options him.
Before that though, can you tell us, how much sleep are you getting, and are you taking rest days off from your exercise routine?

It actually has nothing to do with your body's natural chemistry it's more so to do with the resistance you have towards your mind and emotions

8 hours a night minimum, sometimes more.

Eat broccoli OP, it really helps.
Colton Taylor
Okay, kinda related: ever since eating more healthy and upping my fats a bit I've been able to orgasm up to 6 times in a row, while maintaining my erection. Before these dietary changes I was a one hit wonder. This makes me wonder if anyone else has experienced this?

been on NoFap since a month, not what I expected senpai, I mean yes I get them boners now and then, but its not much.
Will shit go better if i continue doing it for the next month?
Lincoln Moore

Aaron Lewis
Had similiar experiences.
Landon Powell
saying everything's a meme is a fucking meme you meme-lord
Samuel Robinson
Not really, no-fap is a joke, but restraining yourself isn't a meme- at least not for porn addicted basement dwellers.
Henry Diaz
You stupid fucking moron, this had better be facetious advise. No fap gives you a, what, 150% increase in test on the seventh day of fap abstinence. This is total fucking SHIT as far as increases in test goes, and only for a single day.
There is no evidence to suggest that a long term absence of fapping increases test in any meaningful way
Asher Adams
Were they sponsored by something related to the soy food industry? I remember some studies on how eating cereals in the morning promoted fat loss and good health, surprisingly it was sponsored by Kellogs.
Aaron Wood
No. This one do anything meaningful for you. Stop wasting your precious thinking organ on nofap, it is not the solution you seek.
If you really want to increase your testosterone, why don't you, you know - inject it into your body?
Beyond that, try ginger root in a good amount (I'm talking grams here) Recent studies have shown that it increases test by a significant amount.
Beyond that, it's the usual advice -Lose fat if you have any, since more fat stored brings with it more estrogen.
-Get plenty of healthy fats from you diet.
-Make sure to do both your cardio and lifting.
-If you feel general anxiety and stress, maybe you have a lot of cortisol in your body. This is the "Stress hormone" (As far as I know, I'm only slightly knowledgeable about this) which increases fatigue, decreases muscle mass, and generally brings a lot of shitty qualities.
Meditation can fix this completely, given enough time. Chamomile and Melissa officinalis tea decreases anxiety as well, and have a LOT of other swell properties about them.
Brody Wright
Sleep and exercise are by far the best things for optimal testosterone levels. Since you're still fairly young, your circadian rhythms are still shifted, but staying up later than 11 on a regular basis is probably not good for you. So if you're doing that, stop. Limit light exposure after sunset, and if it's possible, make sure the light you do see is on the warm end of the spectrum (install flux on your computer and a comparable app on your phone). Use as few artificial lights as possible; if you can be on your phone instead of your computer, do that. 1-2 hours before bed, it's best to cut out everything but the light you need to get ready for bed/read by. And once you've turned out the lights for the evening, don't turn them back on, even for late night bathroom trips. During the day, the opposite is true: get a shitton of light. And if at all possible, wake up naturally, without an alarm.
Lucas Wright
This.
Whenever I sleep properly and don't over sleep, I'm always way more energetic and horny the next day.
Jayden Cooper
Post study. Pennies to peanuts it was funded by the soy industry.
Charles Gutierrez
It's a meta-analysis of fifteen different studies. Find them your self.
Luis Watson
no fap isnt about test levels, its about allowing your dopamine receptors to fully heal / recover
only applicable to people who are truly addicted to porn, who watch 45 minutes of fucked up fetish porn every day and still struggle to get fully hard
Robert Roberts
No fax. Get your estrogen levels checked though. I thought I had low testosterone but it was just that my estrogen levels were really fucking high making me act like I was genuinely on a period. No joke my levels were higher than most girls on average. If you consider the environment too people are getting a fuck ton more estrogen from our environment. Also stay away from pesticides, they are literally turning men into homosexuals
Lucas Bennett
The exact place as to where you found that picture gives some good advice as to how you can increase your testosterone, as well as general health (wow imagine that they're correlated!!)
TL;DR: Basically, change your diet to accommodate more protein, fat, and cholesterol (Leydig cells need cholesterol to make testosterone) while eating foods that can lower estrogen - "like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage".
As for vitamins, eat them. Vitamin D3 and Fish Oil are the only ones that I really suggest.
For exercise, lift weights (on a fitness forum, wowee) and do HIIT. (Not in the article, but apparently compound exercises that work more muscles release more T).
The rest of it basically says to sleep like a bear, rail your wife/gf (if you don't have one it's fine you loser), and to manage your stress levels (stress is good, just not too much - it's a biological reflex to prepare you to do cool shit).
The guy who wrote the article had low T, after doing this shit he doubled it in 90 days. I doubt that you will double it, considering that you're probably not getting blood work (like he was) and the reality that you already lift weights.
Landon Baker
Is actually to right if your facing the board.

Sleep more, have colder showers, do more compound lifts over isolations, drop your bf% (unless you're at 8% or below), eat more red meat and onions, don't jack off in excess, get sunlight.

No problemo, pepperino
Charles Nelson
you are full of shit. if you ate/worked out as hard as recommended you would gain mass. you are not unique. obviously you are slacking off or doing it wrong, yet unable to realize you are doing so
Justin Howard
everyone laugh at the little kid getting angry on the internet
Brody Roberts
summer pls go
Jackson Reyes
A steep lack of test can severely undermine his gains. If he has legit, off balance hormone production, leaning on the estro side, he'll have a appalling time making gains
Sebastian Lewis
Stop making excuses, even women make gains.
John Martinez
And they make substantially fewer gains than men. It is not excuses, it is a hormonal problem (supposedly)
Why you'd think I need to make excuses on OP's part, I don't know
Robert Wood
> you would gain mass, you are not unique > but hormones are off-balance!
You're making it sound like it would be IMPOSSIBLE for OP to gain any muscle. Which is obviously bullshit since women still grow muscle, while having less test and more estrogen than any otherwise healthy male with 'off balance hormones'.
Joshua Turner
>thinking I got angry
The jokes on you because I got more (You)s
You queerosexual
David Diaz
I didn't mean to insinuate that.
Nevertheless, when one is concerned with making gains, high estro and low test is a concern. You can see why a man who lacks any significant amount of the male hormone, would take steps to rectify this. OP has not come here to make excuses, he has come here to ask for solutions. You're not giving him much more than empty platitudes, I'm afraid
In my opinion, he should just blast and cruise
Nicholas Bailey

Joseph Reyes
Who else is going to pay for an expensive study on eating cereal?
If the study was done at respectable university then the sponsor has 0 influence on the researcher's results and should be taken as legitimate.

Evan Lee
>'m 19 and I feel tired all the time, have quick changes of mood, feel weak physically and don't gain muscle mass very easily no matter how hard I work out and eat healthily.
Every faggot on this board thinks he's low test, because of vague symptoms like 'muh low energy' and 'muh mood' that could be anything and have nothing to do with your sex hormones in 99% of cases.
If you want to supplement, supplement. There's no need for those mental gymnastics of self-diagnosing and self-treating low test, and the dose for TRT would be much lower anyways. It's just retarded.
Jack Campbell
All true, user. Yet, this particular OP may indeed suffer from a hormonal imbalance. Why operate from the basis that he does not? After all, low test in men are on the rise
Luis Hernandez
The answers begin with genetics.
You have inherited genetics that were created during millions of years of evolution. Those same genes powered humans through lives that were much harder.
Today you live in a world where nothing you do matters. Physical work is nonexistent. Reproduction is thwarted. Culture is a complete disaster. Society is totally fragmented.
Humanity is on the brink of being wiped out by a flood of technology and useless people who cannot think or live in any useful, constructive way.
Our global consumption culture doesn't value life, let alone your life. It just destroys and ruins things.
Depression causes low T. Lack of social bonding and common effort causes low T. Lack of constructive, fulfilling relationships causes low T. Lack of physical stress and effort causes low T.
The reason so many men have low T is because life sucks. The only way to overcome this deficit is artificial- you have to force yourself to "simulate" all the real-world things that are missing from the current era to once again stimulate your genetics to make your body and brain work as if it is still in the world they evolved in.
You can figure out how to do this but it is going to take a lot of effort, constant effort. There are no shortcuts. Nothing you can put into your mouth is going to work. "Heres a simple fix, user. Heres a pill. Do this routine. Have more sex. Worship this God." Forget the seductive idea of the quick fix, the easy one-shot cure. You need to activate cave man mode. It is the only way.
Noah Nelson
I just started doing squats and diddys a couple weeks ago (SS) and I shit you not my facial hair grows faster now. The 5 o'clock shadow is real.
>tfw lmao 26yo and only now hitting puberty
Juan Russell
>It's the year 2016 >Fitness-obsessed retards still think testosterone is a catch-all chemical that will produce muscle-related results as soon as you heighten it
Amongst all the things Veeky Forums constantly debunks, especially considering we have an entire community active 24/7 that knows how steroids work, I'm appaled that Veeky Forums is still made 90% of people who think "IF I CAN JUST GET A SINGLE DROP OF TEST MORE I WILL GET GAINS"
"Testosterone" is like a billion variations of hormones. The testosterone you get as buildup over time is not the same testosterone that makes you bald, or the one that makes you get denser muscles, or the one that decides fat distribution, or the one that decides muscle regeneration rate, or the one that decides energy levels, etc etc etc
Yet you're like fucking rabid teenagers hearing about hormones for the first time, going "TESTOSTERONE IS THE MAN THING SO IF I GET MORE MAN THING I BECOME MORE MAN" like apes frothing at the mouth. Jesus christ. If you want something that will affect gains, take fucking steroids. Trying to raise the cloudy and abstract amount of "test" in your body will do absolutely jackshit, aside maybe giving you some placebo effect if you're retarded enough.
Grayson Diaz
are you implying if its done at a uni it isnt rigged? there's a lot that are, even government ones
Jason Morgan
Same here. Im 28
Jace Watson
Starting to lift is like a 2nd puberty. Heavy lifts put hair on your chest and face.
Logan Carter
You've just sold me on steroids, user.
Julian Powell
You know full well what manner of test is discussed in these threads. No need to be pedantic
Brandon Rogers
You don't fucking raise that kind of test by eating less soy or masturbating only when the tides synchronize with your dick's erection, or any other retarded method discussed in this kind of thread we have 12345 times a day.
The only way you get the result everyone strives for is taking steroids. The rest is retarded placebo bullshit.
Justin Johnson
Of course any one thing (beside sterons) won't have a significant effect on test, but, the right lifestyle may bring accumulative test increases. That you'd refute that the way you live has an impact on your hormones seems strange to me. Unless, I am misinterpreting you.
You really should research the recent studies done on ginger root, for example. Its effects are tremendous
Alexander Howard
Can confirm this. Both have started growing more since I started lifting.
Connor Price
Bullshit. My girl grew a full cup size by adding tofu every other day with her salad and adding flax seeds to her oats. Not period related, not pregnancy, just a full cup size that's persisted since it happened a year ago. And it's not late puberty or some shit, we're 28. You're telling me eating those foods didn't increase her estrogen?
Ayden Jones

Estrogen doesn't make you gay. Lots of high test homos running around. Injecting test into a high estrogen homo won't make him stop craving his hole drilled with dick
Lincoln Rogers
Anyone know how to increase the size of your testicles? Or maximize their growth if you're still in puberty?
Jonathan Hill
testicle size is judged by how much prenatal testosterone you're exposed to.
Nolan Roberts
Were you injecting it into your veins or something?
Isaac Perry
So there's no way? What if I wasn't getting enough zinc and started supplementing?
Or testicle massage?
Matthew Roberts
Not trolling: dip your balls in a glass of cold water after you shower. My sex drive was depressed for a few months. Started doing the cold water and had really intense sex dreams, got my morning wood back.
