Most of us know that testosterone plays a huge role in muscle growth. However, what’s less well known is how much of an impact increasing your testosterone levels naturally can have on muscle growth. Surprisingly, research shows that the results of boosting testosterone through natural ways can be very promising for men. Going from low testosterone levels to average levels leads to significant increases in muscle mass and strength. The effect going from average testosterone levels to above average levels is less clear, but there is a trend favoring muscle mass and less fat at higher testosterone levels. In this video I’ll show you 3 science-backed ways to improve your testosterone levels in the long term. This is essential for you to implement since your testosterone levels will begin to decrease somewhere in your 30’s, and increasing the levels of this hormone can help prevent muscle loss in your 40’s, 50’s, and so on. Not to mention the numerous other benefits of optimal testosterone levels!

huge thank you to hims for sponsoring this video if you ask the average gym goer with the most important hormone is for muscle growth they probably say testosterone and in this case they'd be right study after study has demonstrated testosterones ability to enhance muscle growth take this paper from basin and colleagues for example eight men were injected with 600 milligrams of testosterone over the course of 10 weeks which Rose their testosterone levels to roughly 3 times higher than the highest testosterone levels you can expect to achieve naturally as a result despite performing no resistance training whatsoever these men were still able to gain 7 pounds of lean muscle and improve their overall strength which is a feat that would likely not be possible naturally now this is pretty cool and all but the real question is how would naturally increase in your testosterone levels affect muscle growth well the truth is it's relatively unclear at the moment but a few studies are able to provide us with some insight 1 2016 study by Mouser and colleagues states that testosterone levels for adult men can range from anywhere between 240 to 950 nanograms per deciliter with the average being somewhere in the middle of this range and what's interesting is that multiple studies have found that when men who were at the lower end of this range increased their testosterone levels to average or above average they saw significant increases in muscle mass and strength even when the old resistance training was performed so what's clear that if you have lower than normal testosterone levels then increasing it can definitely enhance muscle growth but unless you have male hypogonadism or experience obvious symptoms of low testosterone like low sex drive or erectile dysfunction then chances are you probably have normal levels so the real question now is what effect would increase in your testosterone levels from average to above average levels have on muscle growth well again research is definitely lacking in this area however one 2016 study showed that those at the higher end of the normal testosterone range had greater lean muscle mass and lower levels of body fat compared to those with average or below average levels and this finding was still significant even when race age activity and protein intake was accounted for which does support the idea that increasing your testosterone levels to the higher range naturally may very well enhance muscle growth research also illustrates that testosterone plays a big factor when it comes to fat loss for example this 2003 papers showed that when researchers decreased subjects testosterone levels from average to below average levels they saw a dramatic 36 percent increase in fat mass in addition optimal testosterone levels are essential for a variety of other factors as well and becomes especially important as you age since it helps slow down muscle loss and since your testosterone levels begin to decrease by around 1 to 2 percent per year starting from some time in your 30s it would likely be in your best interest to learn what you can do to naturally increase your levels of this hormone so what exactly can you do well one popular belief is that the large increase in testosterone caused by the use of heavy compound movements is what makes them so effective although it's true that testosterone spikes to a meaningful degree after compound movements this actually doesn't last for very long and in the words of researcher dr. Brad Schoenfeld well I can't dismiss that acute hormonal elevations may play a role in the growth process I'm quite confident in saying that if such an effect does in fact exist it would be of small significance therefore relying on this might not be the best approach so with that being said let's take a look at a few more effective options for increasing testosterone in the long term the first thing you can do is to stay within a certain range of body fat that isn't too low and isn't too high research shows that as body fat levels rise your testosterone Falls whereas your estrogen levels actually increase researchers have noted that this is probably because the more fat you have the higher your aroma taste enzyme activity which converts testosterone to estrogen so by lowering your body fat you lower the activity of this enzyme and more testosterone is left unconverted as for how much of an increase you can expect to see it will depend on how much fat you have to lose 1 2013 meta-analysis found that based on 20 relevant studies overweight subjects were able to experience an average testosterone increase of 100 20 nanograms per deciliter after losing a significant amount of fat which was roughly equivalent to a 20 to 50 percent increase in testosterone levels now this doesn't mean you want to lower your body fat to extreme levels since this can be detrimental as well but there is likely an optimal range that you want to stay in which seems to be around 8 to 15 percent and is why I recommend staying within this range even when bulking the second thing you can do is to correct deficiencies in your diet now although to optimize testosterone levels it's recommended that you eat a balanced macronutrient ratio of protein carbs and fat most people already seem to be doing this where most people fail though is with micronutrients and the two main micronutrients that seem to affect house Austral levels are vitamin D and zinc one 2011 study showed that one year of daily vitamin D supplementation in those who were deficient increased testosterone levels by 20% and another study from the Journal of nutrition showed that daily supplementation of zinc in males that were deficient almost doubled their testosterone levels in just three months and since multiple studies have indicated that zinc and vitamin D deficiencies are in fact very prevalent I would advise ensuring that your in taking adequate zinc and vitamin D from your diet or through supplementation which is actually very affordable the third thing you can do to increase testosterone in the long term is to get adequate sleep multiple studies have shown a strong positive correlation between Kotal sleep time and total testosterone levels with one study showing that subjects who routinely slept for four hours a night had testosterone levels that were roughly half that of subjects who routinely slept for eight hours a night in fact each hour below eight hours of sleep seemed to drop testosterone levels by around 15% therefore aiming for around 8 hours of quality sleep on a consistent basis would be ideal now aside from the previous recommendations there are various other ways to increase testosterone but are of less significance since it increases only short-term for example just being sexually aroused or conversing with an attractive woman is enough to briefly spike testosterone levels to a large degree whereas on the other and being around a woman while she's crying is enough to decrease testosterone by 12% but again this effect doesn't last for long so unless you're constantly sexually aroused or constantly around crying women these won't have a very big impact rather I'd suggest sticking to the three main points I covered and you'll likely be able to make a meaningful difference in terms of your testosterone levels and experience the many benefits that come with it that's pretty much it for the video guys thank you so much for watching I hope you enjoyed it and found it useful I also just wanted to quickly thank hims for sponsoring this video for those of you who don't know hims offers personalized recommendations for prescription and non-prescription hair loss and sexual wellness products for men and these recommendations are based on the advice of real doctors we will speak with online rather than having to visit a doctor in person and for those of you who are unaware 66% of men will face hair loss by the age of 35 and 26% of new erectile dysfunction cases are reported by men under the age of 40 and despite these issues being so prevalent I think this is just something that US guys don't really like talking about which can make finding a solution difficult but the great thing about hims is that it eliminates a process of you having to go to an actual clinic in order to address these issues instead this can all be done completely confidentially online yet the products you can receive are still medical grade and at an affordable price and luckily for you guys hims is offering views of this channel a one-month trial of their comprehensive hair kit all for just $5 which is normally up to a sixty seven dollar value you can get this deal by simply going to four hems com forward slash Jeremy or click in the first link in the description box down below I highly suggest that those of you who are

  1. Whatsup guys! Once again I apologize for my lack of uploads lately.. I’ve been really busy working on getting my online programs done. So thanks for your patience. As always, I’d really appreciate it if you gave me a follow on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/jayethierfit/ ) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Jeremyethierfit/ ). If you have any questions, feel free to message me on those platforms. Hope you enjoyed the video, cheers!

  2. There is only one God who created the heavens and the earth. God made us in His image. God made us to worship Him, but we chose to rebel against Him. As a result, we were separated from God, but God did not abandon us. Instead, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus. Jesus was born of a virgin and, like us, He lived a sinless life, despite all temptations. Jesus took up His cross and willingly bore our past, present, and future sins. Jesus died in our place for our sins, paid our debt to God, and purchased our salvation. Jesus died, but rose again the third day, having triumphed over Satan, sin, demons, and hell. But now we are called to repent and turn from our sins and to live for Christ and His glory. He set us free from sin not to sin so we can experience the true peace He calls us to have in Him. In this world there will be suffering but with Christ we can have peace and hope throughout it all because He has overcome the world. We have a God who lovingly pursues us.

  3. 6:14 broooo im indian and i gotta wake up at 5 am to study

  4. Great video! 💪 I've been trying to boost my test naturally too. Actually, the HermQ program really helped me drop some weight, which made a difference.

  5. Wow, I didn't know sleep was so crucial for testosterone! Thanks for the info!

  6. This is super informative! I saw a real difference in my energy levels when I started the hermq program. Definitely worth checking out if you're serious about this.

  7. Really appreciate the science-backed approach in this video. Very helpful!

  8. Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna try some of these tips. I lost 15 pounds after doing HermQ program, maybe it will work for you too!

  9. Good video Jeremy. Here’s my story. First a little background:

    I’m 75 years old, 5’7”,140#, 14% BF with a BMI of 20.9.

    I lift weights 5 days a week and do mild calisthenics every morning.

    Out of curiosity, I took a Male Hormone Test in September of 2024.

    It was from a local lab and I got my results back in a few days.

    My total testosterone was normal at 764 ng/dl. but because my SHBG

    (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) was so high, my

    free testosterone was only 4.4 pg/ml (the minimum range is 6.6).

    It’s the “free testosterone” that counts.

    I had been on a very low carb. diet for years (under 20g) so I immediately

    raised my carbs to 80-100g net carbs daily.

    I also went on a specific supplement daily protocol:

    TONKAT ALI————————–750mg

    HORNY GOAT WEED—————150mg

    GINSENG ROOT———————-150mg

    RED MACA ROOT——————–150mg

    ASHWAGANDHA ROOT————150mg

    TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS————-75mg

    FENUGREEK—————————-75mg

    BLACK PEPPER————————15mg

    DHEA————————————-50mg

    CREATINE——————————-5g

    HMB—————————————6g

    ZINC—————————————50mg

    VITAMIN D w/K——————– —5,000IU

    BORON————————————3mg

    These are all over the counter non-regulated supplements anyone could buy.

    After about 90 days, towards the end of December (2024) I retook the test

    (through LetsGetChecked.com).

    My total testosterone jumped to 935 ng/dl and my SHBG stayed at 102 nmol/l

    (both are very high for my age).

    But—my free testosterone rose to a normal 9.4 ng/dl.

    You can’t MANAGE what you don’t MEASURE. You must get tested.

    What I may try next is phlebotomy (donating blood) to lower my SHBG.
    A copy of my test results are on my Facebook page.

    Thanks for the video.

  10. there’s something different about seeing the actual numbers. ran my labs with vital test hub

  11. The best testosterone protocol is Complete Guide to Testosterone by James Francis. I had low T now I have the energy, morning wood and physical performance of youth. Downside is that I have become noticeably more aggressive. Late 40s.

  12. D-3 IS A HORMONE, GET D FROM SUN AND FISH. JUSY BECAUSE D-3 IS POPULAR AND YOUR LOSER DR RECOMMENDS IT, DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. D-3 IS USED AS RAT POISON.

  13. true testostrone levels vs whats floating in your blood. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
    vit d-3 is a hormone, not a vitamin, its garbage.
    google this, d-3 rat poison.

  14. 6:37 im wondering whether this was most probably bullshit, cause he didnt mentioned a Study for it😁

  15. The fact that no one is talking about mrzarvok and his recipes speaks volumes about how uninformed people are about boosting testosterone

  16. What I take away from this video: Stay away from crying women.

  17. me watching 10 hours of women crying to relax 😎

  18. I went from 334 to 960 in around 3 months all natural no TRT. This book should be essential reading for all men. Written by a 50s guy with natural T levels higher than most 20s guys
    Complete guide to testosterone by james Francis

  19. I love you, and God loves you!!!🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️

    Just because you feel like you wanna do something, That doesn't mean that it's Ok or acceptable to DO it.

    Your sinful urges are not what get you to hell.

    And you ARE not your SINFUL URGES, They are the devils misguidence, and IT'S NOT YOUR IDENTITY!!!🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️

    Your actions ARE WHAT GET YOU TO HELL, NOT YOUR URGES, THOUGHTS, AND FEELINGS, WHICH OFTEN ARE MADE TO SEEM OK BY THE DEVIL MISGUIDING U!!!, and if you keep living this way, and don't turn to Christ, and don't try, and do your best to stay away from said sins, then You're headed streight for hell, and it's the same for EVERY SIN!!!

    But if you turn to CHRIST, Ask him for forgiveness, and ask him to help you to give you strength to NOT SIN, and to RESIST TEMPATATION, and you try YOUR BEST to stay away from sin, and ask JESUS for forgiveness when you fall, and ask him for strength every time you fall, and you try your best to not sin again every time u fall, and ask God to fill you with the holy spirit, and to let the holy spirit guide you each, and every time u fall, then JESUS will help you, and will forgive you of your sins, and you'll be clensed by the blood of CHRIST, and you'll go to heaven, and the slate will be wiped clean, and all your sins will be forgotten!!!🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️

    But remember to not use Jesus as an excuse to sin or as a get out of jail-free card so you can sin freely, and if you have done that or end up doing it, then do what i said above.

    TURN TO CHRIST, OUR ONE, AND ONLY LORD, SAVIOUR, AND GOD, AND TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS!!!✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ IN JESUS CHRISTS HOLY NAME I PRAY THAT YOU TURN TO CHRIST, AMEN!!!✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️

  20. Some one addicted to heroin gave out my name

  22. A book that changed my life in ways that I never could imagine is "Secret Testosterone Nexus of Evolution".Drop whatever you're doing right now and go find that book. Trust me after I implemented things from the book my testosterone levels went beast mode

  23. i HAVE SIEZURES started to age 20 and at age 24 i had to get full BLood work!
    My doctors eyes went wide as a ghost , he said i'm perfectly fine and safe, But NATURALLY i have 1435 ng/dl which is INSANELY HIGH!!!! I had a bad morning recently at age 29 and it is STILL 1,100! And it is natural for morning to mess it up, My doctor when i had the 1400's it was mid day!!!! I always knew something was up Yes i am 5'5 because of it because i grew at age 9 and had.. pretty much way too much puberty , full facial hair, EMBARRASING for that age, I HAVE NEVER lost muscle, Its so weird, Pecs , abs, arms are smaller but toned, and…other things however i never worked out after seizures… that is 10 years! i NEVER acuse ppl of steroids knowing what i have, NOW i'm not HUGE but sleeper buid is REAL, Shirt off ppl think i work out a few time.POINT of saying this is that T LEVELS WORK! Even my body had to try hard to regulate, My working T levels that are not Total T levels are above average but just above and even then, it is taking some from the total T which evens out to insane levels as well, My body even had to make my SHB Slightly high because it was like dude, you gotta chill haha, SHB binds to active workng T levels to bind and make some of it unusable but give its so high with the T levels it doesn't take away much, I can't believe to this day i NEVER lose what i gain or have had To see what i actually look like with NO workihng out , type in Teen wolf Theme song parody htbpfilms It's the first video, I Play the part of "derek" he's always hilariously shirtless so we had to mock it, (as a joke, the first season was cool) only regret is shirtless dudes are kinda cringe, but my body is insane for no working out, Dads a pro boxer so i got it from him, I'm a little worried about health I never get violent etc but i cant WAIT to see what my body can actually do, PLUS i gain muscle in 1 month what takes people six plus months, People get so mad at me when i refute that people are on steroids , unless they look like a freak, IT IS POSSIBLE PEOPLE! (Downside is high Anxiety though )

  24. I'm sick and tired of their shit science, I'm going to get my T and DHT back to pre-modern times levels, which is way above 1k 😂

    You can't castrate me, I'm the ginger bread man!

  25. My friend recommended me an ebook called "Hidden Testosterone Secrets" first thought i was sure it is some scam but trust me after i implemented things from the book my testosterone levels went beast mode !

  26. Tip: taking medicine 💊💉 is NOT naturally. Naturally means natural way like exercises, food like fruits, nuts, vegetables, sleep schedule

  27. Is 5×5 better than 3×10 for raising testosterone or does it not really matter?

  28. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life

  29. What happens if you're often aroused around crying women?

  30. Zinc also increases sperm count
