Testosterone, Protein Synthesis & Growth Hormone

In this ten minute video, Scott gives an easy to understand account of what testosterone is used for, including protein synthesis (muscle growth), cognition, sex drive and energy, and a few prime tips to boost testosterone. They may not come as a surprise; the process is actually pretty straight forward and congruent with all other tips you’ll find on this site. Here are his 6 tips that you’ll also find in the Mojo Multiplier ebook”

1. Keep body fat low – the enzyme, aromatase is present in body fat which converts testosterone into two forms of oestrogen. Oestrogen promotes fat storage so the more fat you have, the more you’ll store. it’s a vicious cycle.
2. Get enough sleep – around 8 hours a night; countless studies show that less sleep means less testosterone.
3. Lift weights – lift twice a week, compound movements including dead lifts, overhead lifts, push ups and bench presses are most effective as they span the largest muscle groups and involve stabiliser muscles.
4. Eat fats – fatty acids from fish, avocado, saturated and mono-unsaturated fats. Cholesterol is prime nutrient for testosterone production – coconut oil, almonds and olive oil. Good rule of thumb is to have 20% of calorie intake from fat.
5. Take it easy on alcohol. Regular alcohol consumption reduces natural testosterone levels.
6. Keep stress to a minimum. The stress hormone, cortisol is harmful to testosterone as it breaks down muscle protein.
