You want to boost your testosterone, but you don’t want to drown in bacon grease or eat steak with a side of regret. Fear not—there are cholesterol-friendly ways to tell your hormones, “Vamos!”
💪 1. Strength Training That Doesn’t Skip Leg Day
Hit the weights, amigo. Resistance training—especially compound lifts like squats and deadlifts—has been shown to significantly increase testosterone levels. Just 3–4 sessions per week can do the trick.
Bonus: You’ll look good in a tank top, and your knees might even forgive you.
😴 2. Get Your Zzzs or Watch Your T Drop
Sleep isn’t just for dreamers. Men who sleep fewer than 6 hours a night can see testosterone levels drop like a piñata under siege. Aim for 7–9 quality hours.
Pro tip: No scrolling social media at 2 a.m. looking at tacos. That’s my job.
🧘♂️ 3. Chill Out Before You Burn Out
Chronic stress increases cortisol, the hormone that body-slams testosterone. Try meditation, nature walks, journaling, or (my personal favorite) pretending you’re a Zen monk while making guac.
You can’t be full of zen and cortisol—it’s one or the other.
🌿 4. Eat Zinc-Boosting, Antioxidant-Rich Foods
Zinc and antioxidants are your hormonal allies. Reach for:
- Pumpkin seeds
- Lentils
- Spinach
- Chia seeds
- Avocados
No cholesterol overload here—just clean, testosterone-friendly fuel. Your body and heart will both say gracias.
