want more testosterone in your life after just one week then try this i'm dr trish leigh
cognitive neuroscientist and sex addiction recovery coach in this video let's talk about
how you can drastically increase your testosterone by not masturbating i'm sorry i'm sorry i had to
drop that bomb on you that if you want to increase your testosterone levels it has to do with not
masturbating so there is a study that shows that after one week of abstinence from masturbation
serum testosterone levels increased by 146 and that was on the seventh day now in this small
study what it showed is that if you can stay away from masturbation that testosterone levels rise
after that seventh day and so this study showed that within the first seven days there was not
a significant increase but there was a drastic spike after the seventh day in another study we
know that when men abstained from masturbation for three weeks testosterone levels continued to climb
so when we talk about leaving pornography behind which we know from the science damages your brain
it knocks out the frontal lobe in terms of functioning which makes it so that you can't focus
that your memory is baffled right makes it so that social anxiety increases that judgment is impaired
that impulse control is impaired we also know that the reward center in your brain is being fried out
it's being fried and making you need heightened levels of arousal sending you back into the screen
for more intense pornography that gives you that arousal and it forces people into genres they
never thought that they would venture into and the reason is tolerance has been built in your brain
that you need those higher levels of intensity because the reward center in your midbrain
is not working properly that's what porn does to your brain now when you masturbate to porn
you are giving your body higher levels of physical stimulation as well so these higher levels of
physical and mental stimulation cause erectile dysfunction we are seeing a spike in erectile
dysfunction in young men like never before and porn and masturbation are at the root of that
so if you not only want to heal your brain from porn and excessive masturbation you will also
increase your testosterone levels now why do people want to increase their testosterone levels
i know that many of the middle aged men that i hang out with i know i know what you're thinking
yes i am middle aged and that's part of why is there a middle-aged woman here telling you
about testosterone and masturbation i'll tell you why because i care about you and
i don't want you to be like some of the middle-aged men that i know who all are
looking for a testosterone supplement and you know how i am i show up and i'm like hey dudes
let me spit some straight facts at you that you do not want to hear none of you actually
need testosterone supplements you may when you get a little older but right now if you stopped
watching porn and masturbating your testosterone would go up and i've seen it with my own eyes
one of my clients the client that has been on my podcast twice and he's remaining anonymous he
actually had he's into bodybuilding so he had a blood test before he started working with me
and then he had a blood test a month later and his testosterone levels increased significantly
he was blown away he felt a lot better but of course in bodybuilding that's imperative
it's not just important it's imperative so he was able to see more muscle mass growth which we know
science supports that idea he felt stronger he felt clearer his workouts were better
testosterone's important for you to feel not only the physical strength that you want to but the
mental and emotional strength that i talk about on this channel all the time that's what you need
to thrive in your life so when you leave porn and masturbation behind you come out of survival mode
literally your brain puts you in constant important put your brain excuse me porn
puts your brain in constant pleasure seeking mode which creates the need for more dopamine
and it creates a dopamine deficit in your life so what that means is there's no dopamine in
your life and there's more cortisol survival mode it puts your brain in survival mode
and if you're in survival mode you can't thrive you can't build the muscle mass that you want to
you can't jack up that body of yours and feel strong like you want to so
i'm here to tell you if you leave porn and masturbation behind you're going to feel
better than ever mentally emotionally and physically that's what i want for you that's what
you deserve okay if you're looking for help on the journey please go on over to drtrishleigh.com
