symptoms of low testosterone of course first erectile dysfunction things aren't going the way
you like them to next is going to be mood swings a little anxiety maybe some weight gain in this
area that you're having trouble uh fighting and then fatigue you know those are my top
ones when it comes to gentlemen complaining about testosterone issues so if you happen to have any
of those symptoms you could be suffering from low t or low going to do today are testosterone
about ways to bio hack that and and really get to the point where you have naturally increased your
testosterone levels now some of you are going to need testosterone supplementation you're going
to need extra testosterone and we'll talk about that as we go through the series but for those
of you who want to know and are are struggling with certain parts of your life and it could be
attributed to your testosterone levels you need to get checked so really before we get into it
you can actually head over to trylgc.com dr h and we'll talk more about a discount that you get when
you drop my name in the in in the checkout box 20 discount so it's really cool i love it because
especially now you don't really want to be wasting time at the doctor's offices in the
labs and things like that if you don't have to so let's just get right into it so the first thing
now we've talked about the er the supplements right we've talked about different herbs and
things to get your erections a little stronger today let's go a little further
i want to talk about the things that each of my patients are on that i know whether or not
where wherever they are we're going to do these things so the first one is going to be actually
magnesium now magnesium is one of those things that the majority of us are deficient in it and
it's because of our environment it's because of our food it's because of our diet and so we can do
it one of two ways we can supplement magnesium or we can get it in our food so let's talk about the
food that are going to do it now magnesium is so important because we talked about blood flow right
so what you really need to happen is you need those blood vessels to relax in the penile tissue
fill up with blood and engorge and have these major erections and without without um being able
to relax you can't have that so what are we going to do to try to get a relaxed magnesium is one
of the main supplements you can get it from your spinach right am i pointing spinach you can get it
from lima beans oh these aren't lima beans these are pepitas you can get it from pumpkin seeds
this is one of my major go-to's you can get them from almonds you can get it from kale and you can
get it from lima beans it's very important um because without magnesium you know and some
signs of low magnesium are frequent muscle cramps headaches you know um anxiety all of those are
signs of low magnesium but we also see people who have low magnesium they have erectile difficulties
so if you're going to supplement if you're like dr rachel i can't eat all that stuff i'm not going to
do that i'm not going to make a smoothie all of that then you can actually supplement take about
500 milligrams of magnesium before you go to bed that's what i have my patients take if they
are showing symptoms of having low magnesium the next on the list is good old-fashioned vitamin d
you hear a lot about vitamin d when it comes down to immune system and immune function but
it's also really important for erectile health so with vitamin d i usually put my patients on
anywhere from three thousand milligrams to five thousand milligrams this is one of those things
you can't get from your diet much we can have you go out in the sunshine but particularly
for darker skinned individuals you're going to need some vitamin d supplementation so always
talk to your doctor before you try any of this stuff but it is really really really important
that you get your vitamin d now the other thing that vitamin d is important for is that vitamin d
is going to help with the production of testosterone right testosterone is a steroid
and all steroids need vitamin d in order for your body to make them correctly right so vitamin d
ultimately becomes extremely important now another thing that i usually have my male patients taking
and it's not coming up on the screen right now so let me grab it for you is d-h-e-a so the important
thing about dhea is that dhea is the precursor of testosterone so imagine being in a position where
we actually are giving you the the precursor to testosterone and it's going to get in your
body and convert to testosterone so we do a lot of supplementation with dhea and then my
last bio hack this is the big one i saved it for last and it's going to be the biggest one
is sprinting boy let me tell you about sprinting they've actually done studies on gentlemen right
after they sprint and their testosterone levels are way up here so when we talk about sprinting
you're going to do a rapid sprint where you're going to keep it you know below 15 seconds just
sprint sprint sprint and then you're going to stop and recover and you're going to fully recover
and then you're going to sprint again you're going to sprint again and you're going to do
five to 10 reps of those and testosterone levels skyrocket during exercise during lifting
not necessarily during a lot of cardio actually cardio can sometimes depress testosterone we
have seen those guys on the treadmill distance runners distance runners typically struggle with
low testosterone but doing things like sprinting fast and then stopping and recovering and fast
and stopping and recovering testosterone levels surge so here's the thing about biohacking and
optimizing your testosterone levels you've got to know where you are then you've got
to implement some strategies and changes and then you've got to test again and that is particularly
why i've teamed up with let's get checked because here's the cool thing about let's get checked head
over to trylgc.com backslash dr h use dr h in the checkout to get 20 off because here's the thing we
want to know where we are with our testosterone we want to know our free testosterone we want to
know our total testosterone and we want to know something called our sex hormone binding globulin
this is probably your most important one when you're talking to your physician and you're trying
to really manipulate things because that item the s the sex binding globulin hormone is responsible
for binding up testosterone and if it's testosterone is stuck to it guess what
it's useless your body can't use it so your free testosterone level becomes very important and
so does that and so their advanced male hormone panel has it and so what you do is you test before
you get started optimizing and bio hacking then you're going to test again afterwards and bam
check and see the results so what i'm going to do is i'm actually going to actually walk you
through what some of these test parameters mean and why they're so important so subscribe below
