The Best way to Boost Testosterone (Naturally)
When starting a fitness journey, it’s natural to compare yourself to professional athletes. A quick look through a fitness magazine or scrolling on Instagram reveals images of tanned, muscular bodybuilders with veins seemingly ready to burst.
Without casting judgment on pro bodybuilders, it's important to note that many use testosterone-boosting drugs like steroids and SARMs. These drugs are banned in many places and competitions due to safety concerns and long-term health risks.
While there may be short-term benefits, at STRIVE®, we never endorse or recommend their use.
So, let’s focus on natural ways to boost testosterone levels:
Incorporate Resistance Training: Research shows lifting weights, especially in a strength program, is a proven method to increase muscle mass, which in turn triggers testosterone production. Our Personal Coaches at STRIVE® prioritise resistance training for clients due to its numerous health benefits.
Meet Your Macro Goals: Pay attention to macronutrients—carbs, fats, and protein. Consuming enough protein (1.5-2 grams per kilogram of body weight) can boost testosterone and support muscle mass. Our Personal Coaches develop meal plans to meet individual needs and lifestyle habits.
Prioritise Rest: Adequate sleep (7-8 hours per night) is crucial for overall health and higher testosterone levels. Our flexible scheduling for Private Personal Training and Small Group Personal Training sessions acknowledges the importance of rest and allows members to prioritise sleep.
Monitor Alcohol Intake: Excessive alcohol consumption can lower testosterone levels and impact overall health. While balance is key, we encourage our members to use fitness as a stress-management tool rather than relying solely on alcohol.
Our approach is holistic, we emphasise the importance of prioritising fitness for improved health and productivity.
