Can testosterone be increased naturally?
February 13, 2023

Testosterone levels can be increased naturally through three aspects:

  1. Improving sleep: Improving duration and quality of sleep is important for natural testosterone secretion
  2. Resistance training: weight training especially for large muscles like legs and back
  3. Reduce stress: Stress is associated with high cortisol levels which interferes with testosterone. Managing stress can improve testosterone levels

Addressing these three factors can improve testosterone levels modestly. However modern life prevents many of us from optimizing these. Supplements have not been shown to definitively improve testosterone levels.

Under these circumstances, TRT is the only means to improve T levels to therapeutic levels in a meaningful manner for well-being.
