100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 2
What if I told you, that you won’t need synthetic steroids, patches, gels, creams, or
pellets to increase testosterone levels naturally. Would you be up to the challenge?
In fact you can increase testosterone naturally far more than you ever knew was
possible; with the help of these 100 ways to increase testosterone levels
naturally that I am giving you right here for free.
Some of these free ways to naturally increase testosterone levels can be found on
various sources around the internet. Still most of the ways introduced on this list
are completely new tricks on the field of natural testosterone.
As I have been furiously researching the whole field of natural testosterone past
these few years, I have never managed to find a list with more than 20 ways to
naturally increase testosterone levels. For a long time, even before putting up this
website, I have had the idea of making a list of 100 ways to increase testosterone
naturally stuck at the back of my head.
Now after all those years, I humbly present you the 100 Ways To Increase
Testosterone Naturally list.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 3
1. Increase Testosterone With Strength training
One of the best things by far to
increase our testosterone levels
is: Strength training.
This shouldn’t come of as a
surprise to you. I mean just take a
look at those guys, they’re manly
as fuck.
Of course there’s also some
scientific insights too, as this
study found out that it didn’t
matter if the subjects were young
or old, still a significant increase in testosterone was noted after strength training
session.
So to increase your male testosterone levels. Hit the gym. Or lift rocks. Whatever
you come up with.
2. Big Multi-joint Movements Increase Testosterone
The way you are
training at the gym
matters a lot. By
working out small
muscles on machines
you are not generating
good hormonal
response at all. On the
other hand if you are
practicing those big
compound movements
preached by the big
guys, you will most
certainly create a huge
hormonal response
from them.
The best 3 multi-joint movements (called the big three) include – squats, bench press,
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 4
and deadlift
This study found out that the good old squat made the body produce more
testosterone and growth hormone than leg press on a machine.
3. Consume Enough Dietary Fat
It’s not a secret that you
need to consume a lot
dietary fat to increase
testosterone
naturally.
In one study
researchers found out
that low fat diets
lowered testosterone
levels dramatically, but
the high fat diets
created the opposite
effect, a sharp increase
in serum testosterone.
Click here to read my bigger post on fats and how they impact your testosterone
levels.
4. Testosterone I/O
The Testosterone I/O is a program by Christopher
Walker who naturally increased his testosterone
levels from 11 ng/dl to 1192 ng/dl, he had a brain
tumor that was suppressing the production of
testosterone, despite the tumor, Chris was able to
raise his testosterone significantly, now imagine what
kind of results the program will bring to a man with
no tumor…
Christopher masters the endocrine system from top
to bottom and I seem to share tons of similar
opinions on natural hormones with him, so that’s
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 5
why you should check out the Testosterone I/O e-book here. It’s the ultimate all-in-
one guide to natural testosterone.
5. Eat Some Cholesterol
One of the final stages of
the whole testosterone making process inside a male body is the work that leydig
cells do inside of the testicles.
The cells literally convert cholesterol to free testosterone. Read more about this
conversion here.
By eating more cholesterol you are consuming the most essential building block
that is needed to increase testosterone.
6. Low Repetitions With
high Volume
Many studies clearly indicate that
the best way to exercise is by
using heavy load of weights and
working out sets with low
repetitions. This way to exercise
has been proven to increase
testosterone far more than any
other way of exercise in all of the
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 6
studies done on the subject of testosterone and weight lifting.
7. Lose the excess fat
Fat cells are filled
with estrogen, a female
hormone that is
notorious for it’s ability
to lower testosterone
levels.
Studies suggest that the
more higher the fat
percentage, the higher
your estrogen levels will
be, and thus far lower
the testosterone. So a
simple action to
increase testosterone
levels naturally is just to
lose the excess fat.
8. The Man Diet
The Man Diet from Chad Howse is an amazing e-
book on how to maximize your natural
testosterone production trough your diet, and
it’s also ridiculously cheap for what it’s worth.
So I can wholeheartedly say that this copy is
worth every penny, as Chad and I share very
similar opinions on testosterone and dietary
factors.

9. Control your stress levels
The main stress hormone,
cortisol, is associated with low
Testosterone levels. So obviously
you should try to avoid things
that increase cortisol production.
Stress is one of the biggest causes
of high cortisol levels, so avoiding
all those stressful situations
would aid greatly in your journey
towards high testosterone levels.
For a big guide on ways to crush down your cortisol, you should read this post.
10. Keep Your Workouts Short
When you are working out, try to keep your
workouts short in duration to naturally increase
testosterone levels.
That’s because the longer you workout, the
higher your cortisol levels will climb. High
cortisol, as stated above, leads to lowered
testosterone levels.
The ideal length of a gym workout for example,
would be less than 45 minutes, because the
serum cortisol has been shown to spike
significantly after 45 minutes into the training.
So high intensity with high volume, for a
short duration = the biggest release in
testosterone production.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 8
11. Avoid overtraining
Overtraining has been linked to
lowered testosterone levels. It will
keep your cortisol levels elevated for
a long period of time and during all of
that time you will have suppressed
testosterone levels.
To find out how cortisol destroys your
testosterone read this post.
Overtraining should be taken
seriously, as it’s not only bad for your
testosterone, but also for your heart
and other muscles.
12. Sleep and Get More Natural Testosterone
Most of your testosterone will be produced during the time you are sleeping,
especially in the REM-stages of sleep.
Dozens of studies have
concluded that when you sleep
less, you’ll produce less
testosterone, and when you
sleep more, you’ll produce more
testosterone.
Also the quality of your sleep
matters a lot.

13. Avoid soy products
Soy is a very strong phyto-
estrogen that will directly increase
your serum estrogen levels, and
by that occurrence your
testosterone levels will decrease.
Vegetarians are constantly trying
to prove this fact wrong, but so
far evidence shows pretty clearly
that soy lowers testosterone. Men
that go trough the sex change
operation usually eat a lot of soy
products because soy is famous for its feminizing effects.
14. Avoid binge drinking
A glass or two of red wine will
be beneficial to your health, but
consuming two bottles of red
wine in one night will seriously
interfere with your testosterone
production. Studies state the
following about binge drinking:
It reduces testicle size, it
increases the conversion of
testosterone to estrogen, it
lowers testosterone levels
dramatically and it causes man-
boobs.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 10
15. Nuts Are Good For Your Nuts
Eating nuts is good for
your nuts. According to
the studies, almost any
kinds of nuts will
naturally increase
testosterone levels –
plus the fact that most
of them are delicious.
They’re filled with
essential fats needed in
testosterone
production, along with
natural arginine, which
makes your body produce more nitric oxide.
16. Body language can skyrocket testosterone
Recent study states that
when you portray
masculine body language,
your serum testosterone
levels will spike
significantly.
The major signs of
masculine body language
include: Standing up
straight, looking people
into the eyes, taking up
space and walking slowly. In fact one study noted that you can increase
testosterone levels naturally by up to 20% in less than 2 minutes with only the use
of body language – read more here.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 11
17. Intermittent Fasting
Every time you
consume a meal, insulin
and cortisol levels will
spike up. This
occurrence then leads
to lowered serum
testosterone levels.
That’s why I use the
Intermittent Fasting
eating style.
Intermittent Fasting is
not a diet, more
accurate terms for it
would be lifestyle or
eating pattern. One
example of a working IF pattern would be this: Fast for 16 hours -> consume all daily
calories in the time frame of 8 hours -> repeat.
For more detailed post about fasting and it’s effects on weight loss, check out
the Ultimate Guide to Intermittent Fasting
18. Iodine increases Testosterone Levels Significantly
Iodine is something that
most of the population lacks
badly. It’s one of the most
important minerals for our
body and can be found in
every cell. Iodine is very
important for testosterone
production and it aids your
thyroid gland to produce
hormones.
If you’re gonna supplement
with iodine, try this one.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 12
19. L-Taurine Will Naturally Increase Testosterone Levels
In a rat study, L-taurine was seen to
increase testosterone naturally by
200%! Rats have almost identical
reproductive system when
compared to humans, so it would
most likely be beneficial to consume
some L-Taurine as a supplement.
If you’re gonna supplement with
taurine, try this high quality pure L-
taurine out!
20. Boron Boosts Testosterone
In a study conducted with the
mineral called Boron, researchers
found out that Boron will lead to
a significant boost in serum
testosterone levels, along with
lowered serum estrogen levels.
It’s also quite cheap to
supplement with.
This is the highest quality liquid
boron supplement available.

21. Eat Organic Foods To Raise the T
Organic foods contain no pesticides, chemicals, or any other unnatural additives.
That’s why I always eat organic foods.
Most of those normal grocery store foods
are loaded with chemicals that tend to
mimic estrogen, and as you know by now,
this occurrence lowers testosterone
levels. Other thing about non-organic
foods is that almost all of those non-
organic meats are filled with synthetic
hormone traces.
Here’s my post on chemicals and their
effect on testosterone
22. Try To Avoid Excessive Beer Consumption
Thiss one’s really hard
for you guys I know…
Still, I have to bring you
the bad news: Beer is
filled with highly
estrogenic hops, which
will directly stimulate
the estrogen production
in the male body, and
that’s not a good thing
at all.
I have to admit that I’m
still consuming beer once in a while, some habits aren’t worth giving up, and in my
opinion beer is one of them.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 14
23. Eat Red Meat
Red meat is awesome for your
testosterone production as it’s
filled with natural
cholesterol, saturated fat, and
other favorable compounds that
will help your body to produce
testosterone.
Nutrients like coenzyme Q10,
carnitine, and a host of other
beneficial ingredients are all
present in red meat, and those will also help your body to make more T.
So don’t underestimate the power of meat to a man, ever.
24. Quit smoking
Cigarettes contain over 7
500 chemicals that will
wreck havoc in your
sensitive endocrine system.
Smoking will harm your
health in many different
ways, but the one that
conserns me the most is the
lowered testosterone levels
it causes. I know that
quitting this habit can be
really hard, but if you
seriously want to increase
testosterone levels naturally
it’s almost mandatory.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 15
25. Chop Down Trees To Raise Testosterone
Chopping down trees… At least it
feels manly as fuck.
And one recent study actually
proves the testosterone raising
benefits of the good old wood
chopping! As in the journal of
Evolution and Human Behavior,
there was this trial conducted on
Bolivian men, which shows that
after a session of chopping trees,
their subject males saliva
testosterone levels increased by a
whopping 40% on average.
So if you’re offered the possibility to go knock down some timber, then do it.
26.Increase Testosterone Levels Naturally By Winning More
Winning has been
associated with high
testosterone levels. In a
recent study the
researchers measured
serum testosterone levels
from the fans before, and
after the match. Results
showed that the winning
side responded with a huge
increase in testosterone
levels, but the losing side
experienced a significant
drop in serum testosterone.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 16
27. Supplement with zinc
Aromatase enzyme is
the enzyme that
converts free
testosterone into
estrogen. One of the
things that zinc does in
the male body is that it
will hamper the
aromatase enzymes
activity, and stop the
conversion of
testosterone to
estrogen – meaning that
your testosterone levels will increase because of that.
This is the high quality zinc supplement that I use myself.
28. Avoid sugar
Sugar can be very hard
to avoid these days as it
has been added in to
almost everything. The
reason why I’m
suggesting you to drop
sugar is that it’s pretty
notorious for its ability
to lower testosterone
levels.
In one study, a meal
containing sugar
lowered serum
testosterone levels by
25%. That wasn’t even a short-term effect! The study reports that testosterone levels
were still clearly lowered hours after the meal.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 17
29. Supplement with vitamin D
Vitamin D is actually not
a vitamin at all, it’s
hormone that regulates
over 1,000 bodily
functions. It’s the key
behind fertility and
muscle growth but
recently it has also been
noted that it plays a key
role in the production of
testosterone. That’s
probably one of the
reasons why you feel so
amazing at a beach vacation.
What’s more better is that vitamin D3 has been shown to increase your free
testosterone levels, which is the most beneficial form of testosterone, that isn’t
bound into SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
Read my post about vitamin D and testosterone, here.
30. Supplement with Tongkat Ali
In a study Tongkat Ali was able to
increase testosterone naturally by
a staggering 46%. In another
Brazilian study researchers found
out that it also decreased serum
estrogen levels effectively.
I use this pure Tongkat Ali powder
myself.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 18
31. Supplement with Suma root
The suma root (Brazilian
gingseng) contains
ecdysterone, a very
powerful natural
compound that has
been studied a lot. One
study found out that
ecdysterone was able to
produce even more
powerful anabolic
benefits
than Methandrostenolone and Dianabol, two commonly used steroids.
This Suma tincture does the trick for me.
32. Sprint barefooted in the snow
This one is a bit extreme, but if
you got snow in your area take of
your shoes and do a quick sprint
on the snow barefooted. This will
generate a primal response in
your body to produce more
testosterone and growth
hormone.
I don’t remember the source
where I first found out about this,
but let me tell you this, it sure
does work!
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 19
33. Carb Back Loading Will Increase Testosterone And
Anabolism
Carb Back Loading is a very unique eating
style created by a physicist name John
Kiefer. It’s basically this: You won’t consume
any carbohydrates before exercising, but
immediately after the workout you will eat
a lot of carbs. At first this might sound a bit
funny cause you really can eat a lot of junk
after the workout, but it still does work
insanely well. It will also naturally increase
testosterone levels for sure, I can guarantee
you that!
Here’s a link to my review about John’s e-
book.
34. Consume BCAA’s
Research shows that if you consume BCAA’s (Branch
Chain Amino Acid’s) both, during and after the
workout. Your testosterone levels will increase
significantly.
In fact one study shows a staggering 50% increase in
testosterone levels after supplementation with
BCAA’s during strength training.
Testosterone boost is not the only benefit of BCAA’s
as they’re also accelerating recovery and protein
synthesis, so those amino-acids can be hugely
beneficial for all men who are prone to exercise.
This is some high quality bulk BCAA
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 20
35. Don’t go overboard with coffee
Coffee ain’t really that bad for
you, but if you drink about 10
cups a day your cortisol levels will
increase a lot. That’s because that
is what coffee does, it increases
serum cortisol. It’s not a huge
increase though, and couple cups
wont hurt your testosterone a bit,
but overconsumption will.
You might think that this isn’t a
big deal at all, after all it’s just
coffee right?
Wrong, if you drink too much coffee and your cortisol will spike as a results, that’s
gonna seriusly destroy your testosterone levels. You can read more about cortisol
and how to naturally lower it, here.
36. Consume garlic
One Japanese study found out
that rats fed with a mixture
containing 0,8g/100g garlic
powder, gained a huge increase
in serum testosterone levels.
Increase was also noted in sperm
volume, quality, and motility.
You won’t often feel any instant
testosterone like benefits from
foods, but let me tell you this:
Garlic is an exception, as it
delivers the testosterone boosting benefits almost instantly.
Eat couple of raw garlic cloves tonight to see what I mean.
Check out my post on 50 testosterone boosting foods for more foods that boost
testosterone.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 21
37. supplement with Omega-3’s
Fish oil has been shown to
increase the production of
luteinizing hormone (the
hormone that triggers
testosterone production inside
leydic cells at testicles). Fish oil
has also been shown to decrease
the activity of SHBG (Sex
Hormone Binding Globulin),
which is known for lowering free
testosterone levels.
This is the product that gives me all the essential fats I need.
38. Check your thyroid
It’s estimated that 85-90% of the
worlds population have got some
stages of underlying thyroid
problems. The most common
one of these is
calledhypothyroidism, which is a
condition where your thyroid
gland is unable to produce
enough of the thyroid hormones
T3 and T4. That causes a host of
serious heart problems in the
body and is notorious for causing
very low testosteronelevels.
For more thyroid info check
out this link.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 22
39. Supplement with magnesium
The study conducted in Selcuk
(Turkey), states that magnesium
supplementation will increase
testosterone levels by 24% in
athletes. Magnesium is also a key
mineral in many important bodily
functions, so supplementation
with it would be very beneficial
for your overall health.
I use this transmedal magnesium oil daily.
40. Having More Sex Will Increase Testosterone Levels
Naturally
Having more sex will definitely
boost your testosterone naturally.
In fact even having an erection
will significantly increase your
testosterone production. One
study conducted in 1992
examined 4 couples on days that
they did and didn’t have any
sexual activity. Researches soon
found out that testosterone levels
increased on nights after sexual
activity and didn’t fluctuate at all
on the nights where there was no intercourse. Another study conducted on animals
states that even the anticipation of sex will spike up testosterone production.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 23
41. Supplement with D-aspartic Acid
D-aspartic Acid (DAA) is
a non essential amino
acid, but that doesn’t
mean that it’s useless at
all! In a recent study
DAA was able to
produce 33% increase
in testosterone. The
study was conducted
with young men that
already had very high
levels of testosterone in
their system, but still
DAA generated a very
favourable 33% increase in testosterone production.
This is the pure bulk D-AA that I use.
42. Supplement with Mucuna pruriens
If you like to use herbal
supplements in aid to
increase testosterone
naturally, try
out Mucuna Pruriens. It
has been shown to
increase testosterone
levels by 27% and also
decrease prolactin
levels by 33%. Elevated
prolactin levels have
been linked to low
testosterone and low
libido.
This Mucuna Pruriens powder really does it for me.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 24
43. Increase Testosterone Levels Significantly With Icariin
Icariin is a compound
that can be found in
some of the natural
testosterone boosters,
like Muira
Puama and Horny Goat
Weed for instance.
Icariin has been shown
to increase testosterone
levels, and also to
increase the blood flow
in to the pelvic area. It
has also similar benefits
as Viagra does, hence
the common name for
icariin – the natural Viagra.
Icariin can also be purchased as an extract.
44. Vitamin C Boosts Testosterone Production
Megadoses of vitamin C will
lower your serum cortisol levels
very effectively. So to increase
testosterone naturally, consider
purchasing some vitamin C.
Low cortisol is not the only
benefit of vitamin C, as high
vitamin C levels in the blood will
also protect your precious
testosterone molecules from
oxidization.
This Camu Camu powder is filled with high absorbing vitamin C
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 25
45. Reservatrol Raises Testosterone
Reservatrol is a natural
compound found in grapes, and
it has been shown to raise
natural testosterone levels by
50% in animal studies. The only
downside to reservatrol is that it
needs to be taken in megadoses
to create significant benefits, but
there’s reservatrol supplements
available if you are not interested
in eating tons of grapes.
Maximum strength Reservatrol.
46. Supplement With Pine Pollen
Pine pollen is in my
opinion by far the
number #1
testosterone booster of
all time. It actually
contains pure
testosterone in it, and
also many other forms
of testosterone such as,
epitestosterone,
brassinolide,
dehydroepiandrosteron
e, androsterone, and
androstenedione. Read
my post about pine pollen here.
This is without a doubt the best quality Pine Pollen tincture available.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 26
47. Start using natural cosmetics
Almost all of unnatural
kinds of cosmetics
contain a big list of
toxic chemicals, the
worst of them are
parabens. Parabens
come in many forms
and they can be found
on shampoos,
commercial
moisturizers, shaving
gels, personal
lubricants,
topical/parenteral
pharmaceuticals, spray
tanning solution, and
toothpaste. They are also used as food additives.
Inside the body parabens act as a very strong estrogen mimics causing decreased
testosterone levels quite effectively.
I suggest that you scan trough your personal cosmetics ingredient list and lookout
for these: Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Heptylparaben, Methylparaben, or
Propylparaben. And if I were you, I’d throw them out instantly.
Also check out this post on natural personal care items.
48. Consume A Lot Of Berries To Remove Estrogen
Certain berries like,
junipers, aronias and
blueberries are very
testosterone friendly.
These all contain this
compound called Calsium-D-Glucarate. It’s found on the skin of those berries and it
acts like a fiber that sucks in bad estrogens and helps them to exit your body via
your intestines.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 27
49. Consume something that acts as a methylator
The methylation
process in a nutshell is
this: the bad estrogens
are all missing one
methyl group. By eating
food that acts as a
methylator you are
adding that missing
methyl group there. By
that action your body
will start this whole
chelation process.
To make it sound more
simple; chelation basically means that your body flushes out toxins and harmful
xeno-estrogens.
One of the best natural methylators out there is beets, and they’re not only a
methylator, as beets will also significantly increase your nitric oxide production.
50. The low estrogen trio
Read here about the
low estrogen trio. It’s a
very easy to do solution
to high estrogen levels.
Combining 3 different
foods to really flush
that excess estrogen
out of your body.
In a nutshell the whole
trio is combined of
foods that
contain methylators,
Calcium-D-Glucarate,
and DIM. That’s the magic trio of substances to drive away female hormones from
your body.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 28
51. Get some sun
Sun exposure is a really good way
to increase testosterone
naturally. The sun rays will start
the natural process of creating
vitamin-D in your skin, and
vitamin-D is really good way to
naturally increase testosterone
levels. By being out in the sun
you’ll get that natural D flowing in
your veins, so it’s much better
way to enjoy the sun than take it
as a supplement.
52. Cycle natural testosterone boosters
Here’s my list of working natural
testosterone boosters, and here’s
my guide on how to cycle those
boosters. In a nutshell the whole
cycling means that you are not
consuming all of those herbs at
the same time. That’s how you
can completely avoid the actions
of natural resistance to these
supplements, that would build up
otherwise. So cycling those bad
boys will naturally increase testosterone levels big time!
53. Stop the porn induced masturbation
Let’s face it. Every single male does this, and
some even suggest that it increases
testosterone. That’s one hell of a weird claim
considering that masturbation to porn will
significantly lower the activity in your androgen
and dopamine receptors. That will certainly
crush your testosterone levels!

PS - You absolutely have to watch this clip now.
54. HIIT Skyrockets Anabolic Hormones
HIIT (High Intensity Interval
Exercise) is a very good way to
increase testosterone naturally.
One great way to see this in
effect is to start looking at the
difference between a marathon
runner and a sprinter. The
marathon runners are really
skinny and fragile, as if they are
not having any testosterone
inside their bodies. But sprinters
on the other hand are huge and
muscular, almost like weight lifters. That phenomenon is caused by the way
sprinters train; they practice a lot of HIIT and short sprints, that have been
scientifically shown to skyrocket natural testosterone and human growth hormone
production.
55.Avoid Mercury
Mercury is one of those really
nasty toxins that really destroys
your testosterone levels. That’s
why you should be very cautious
about the quality of the fish you
consume, because it has been
shown that fish caught from
polluted waters contains a lot of
mercury traces. So keep this in
mind when at your journey to
increase testosterone.

56. peak 8
Peak 8 is a revolutionary workout
method created by Dr. Joseph
Mercola. In a nutshell it goes like
this: you start by warming up for
couple of minutes, then exercise
for 30 seconds with the highest
intensity you possibly can, and
after that just cool down for 90
seconds, then repeat the
procedure 7 times. Peak 8 has
been proven to increase testosterone and growth hormone levels very effectively.
You can read all about it at Dr. Mercolas websites.
57. Jumping
One study noticed that by
jumping, our lymphatic system
activates and that somehow
raises our testosterone levels. So
how would you jump then? -Well
for example: trampoline,
parkour, skip rope, and many
other kinds of activities include
jumping.
The increase in testosterone is
not the only benefit of jumping,
as it’s also hugely beneficial for
your lymphatic system, and effectively accelerates autophagy, which means that
your body will start to flush out excess chemicals from your body.

58. Avoid fluoride
Fluoride is toxic. It’s been stated
in many studies and that’s a cold
hard fact. These days fluoride is
everywhere; it’s in our toothpaste
and recently it was found even in
our drinking water… Fluoride acts
in body by hampering all the
activity of iodine and by taking it’s
place on all of our cells. This
occurrence happens because
they’re both halogens, but
fluoride is lighter and when that
fluoride enters our glands and sensivite endocrine system, it will do some serious
harm there. So avoid it like a plague!
59. Avoid chlorine
Cholrine is also a halogen and
lighter than iodine. It will act
same way in our body that
fluoride does, so take a look in
that number 58. Just like fluoride,
chlorine is also toxic and it will
wreck havoc in your body. It’s
well capable to lower
testosterone levels in many
different ways.

60.Avoid bromine
Bromine should also be avoided
for the same reasons as fluoride
and chlorine. Bromine is also a
halogen thats lighter than iodine,
and will cause all of the same
problems as those two stated
above.
So to increase testosterone
naturally you should supplement
with iodine and avoid fluoride,
chlorine, and bromine
alltogether.
61. Do not eat too much fiber
Low fat and high fiber diets lower
testosterone levels and it’s a
scientific fact. In one study high
fiber diet resulted in 12%
decrease in serum testosterone.
It’s ok to eat some fiber, just don’t
over do it.
One trick that I do to balance out
the bad effects of fiber is to eat
oats, which contain steroidal
saponins that will increase your
testosterone levels, so that will lessen the harmful effects of fiber a lot.

62. Explosive Intensity Will Increase Testosterone Naturally
Research shows that high volume
with low repetitions is not the
only way to increase testosterone
naturally when working out. It
has now been shown that if you
workout with “explosive intensity”
your testosterone levels will
increase. So I suggest that you
spike up your workouts a bit for
increased testosterone
production.
63. High protein diet causes low testosterone
Certain amounts of high quality protein is needed for healthy testosterone levels,
but if you eat too much protein in
your diet you will essentially leave less
room for fats and carbohydrates.
Everything needs to be in a perfect
balance for testosterone to increase,
and by consuming too much protein
you will wreck that. So the thing to
remember from this is that you don’t
really need to supplement with a huge
load of protein even when
bodybuilding.
64. Don’t be a vegetarian
Vegetarian diets have been linked to very
low testosterone levels. That’s not really
hard to guess though, because for
vegetarians it’s really hard to get those
healthy saturated fats and cholesterol in
their diet, and the fact that they consume
a lot of soy won’t help either. One study
showed that men who change from
vegetarian diet to high fat carnivore diet
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 34
increased their testosterone levels by 30%
65. Play Golf To Boost T Levels
By playing golf you essentially hit
the ball with a golf stick and that
creates a very primal response
inside your body; which in fact
has been studied to increase
testosterone levels naturally.
This actually covers multiple
other sports too, as it really
doesn’t matter what you’re
hitting, but the actual action of
hitting something with a stick,
bat, etc. will create a primal response in your brain to spike up testosterone
production.
66. Play hockey
Hockey is also a game where you
hit something with a stick and it
also causes the same primal
response than golf does. Hockey
is also fueled with testosterone in
many other aspects so I’d say
that it’s clearly one of the best
sports if you are looking for an
increase in testosterone.
Actually one study shows that
even watching a hockey game
from the audience will create an increase in salivary testosterone levels.

67. Skip the margarine
From my post called Butter vs.
Margarine can be clearly seen
how destructive margarine is to
your testosterone levels. So go
read that post for detailed
information about that so called
“health food”.
One fun fact about margarine, is
that it’s 2 molecules away from
plastic…
68.Never overheat your testicles
Your testicles hang in a pouch
outside of your body for a
reason, and the reason is that
your balls should always be a bit
cooler than your normal body
temperature. If you heat them up
by wearing tight boxers or by
taking long hot baths, you are
just basically lowering your
testosterone levels.
I’ts been studied that if your balls
are heated up to the same level
as your body temperature,
testosterone and sperm production will just simply stop until they are cool again –
Read this post for more information.

69. Stop eating those small meals multiple times a day
This is something that goes
pretty hard against everything
that fitness people preach about;
but by eating many small meals
you are just lowering your
testosterone and growth
hormone levels with every meal.
That’s why intermittent
Fasting and Carb Back
Loading are so anabolic – both
focus on eating bigger meals not
so often.
70. Avoid chemicals
There are over 50
million chemicals listed
as of now. Most of
those chemicals will
wreck havoc in our very
sensitive endocrine
system, and the fact is
that many of those
chemicals directly
mimic estrogen in our
bodies. Avoiding all
chemicals completely is
in fact impossible now,
but you can still avoid
most of them
effectively by eating
organic, using organic cosmetics, and avoiding plastics.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 37
71. Push trough your limits
By this I mean working
out as hard as you
possibly can. I base this
claim on a study where
the researchers found
out, that if an average
Joe suddenly jumps out
of he’s couch and runs a sprint, he’s testosterone and growth hormone levels will
skyrocket trough the roof. On the other hand if an elite sprinter does the same
thing, he excerts far more less of those anabolic hormones. That happens because
the seasoned elite athlete didn’t really push trough he’s limits, but the average Joe
sure did. So to increase testosterone naturally, go past your limits.
72. Calisthenics Will Increase Testosterone Levels Naturally
Studies suggest that by doing a
calisthenics workout you will
trigger certain endocrine system
responses, and one of them is
testosterone production. It’s not
even sure why this is happening
but frankly, I don’t even care. For
me it’s enough to know that
calisthenics increase testosterone
levels.
If you don’t know what are
chalistenics, the image on the left should tell you something. They’re bodyweight
exercises.
73. Hill sprinting For Natural Testosterone
Hill sprinting is something that nicely combines intensity with being explosive. The
way how you can push yourself through the limits on those sprints makes hill
sprinting a very good way to increase testosterone naturally.
I’d also say that hill sprinting might just be the most awesome exercise to burn fat,
as I have never ever done anything as intense as doing these sprints with a proper
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 38
coach.
So if you’re really looking to burn of that stubborn belly fat, instead of doing some
shitty low pace cardio for hours, go run 15 minutes of agressive sprints up on some
hill, preferably with a mate who challenges you to give 110%.
74. Fight sports
All the fight sports like boxing
and wrestling for instance are
well known for their ability to
raise testosterone. Why wouldn’t
they increase it? They are
everything you would expect
from a high testosterone event.
Fighting in general will also
increase your testosterone levels,
as it’s one of the most primal
things that a man can do these
days, but instead of starting a bar fight, start boxing or something similar.
75. Do not restric your calories too much
If you restrict your normal calorie
consumption too much, it is for
certain that testosterone levels
will fall down as a result.
So if you are doing Intermittent
fasting, or any other kind of diet
where you fast for some time,
make sure that you will still get
those calories when feasting.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 39
76. Do not go too low on carbs
It’s true that carbohydrates will
cause your insulin levels to spike,
and that spike will lead to
lowered testosterone production.
Still you shouldn’t go too low on
them, because recent study
shows that very low carb diets
will lead into low testosterone
levels. So make sure that you do
get carbs, but also make sure
that you ain’t eating them all the
time, scattered around your day. That would only spike your insulin all the time.
77. Avoid hormone replacement therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is
the thing that doctors always preach
about. In reality it’s nothing more but
taking synthetic steroids. That’s because
in HRT you will most likely be injected
with synthetic testosterone or given gels,
creams, and pellets that will also contain
synthetic male hormones. That will
surely increase your testosterone levels
for a while, but it’s very costly thing to
start, and here’s what will happen when
you stop: Your testicles will shutdown
during the HRT because there is
testosterone suddenly coming into your
body from somewhere else. That’s why
your testicles really won’t need to do
anything, and when you stop the HRT
your testicles will remain that way. They
are on a long vacation and are not
planning on returning for a while…
That’s the main reason why people using
synthetic hormones usually end up having man-boobs, shriveled up testicles, and
hair loss.

78. Consume raw chocolate And Your Testicles Will Thank You
The chocolate found on
grocery stores is
actually very far from
the real deal. It contains
low cacao percentage
and it will get heated up
during the production.
The heat destroys all of
the biochemical
benefits and
antioxidants from those
kinds of chocolates.
THE REAL raw
chocolate is not heated
at any part of the
manuafacturing
process, and it contains huge load of antioxidants and biochemical compounds that
nourish the human body. Raw chocolate also contains a lot of essential vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants for your testosterone levels.
If you want to try real raw chocolate, try this brand.
79. Consume Bee pollen To Increase Your Testosterone Levels
Bee pollen is the pollen collected
from bees legs after they’ve been
flying trough flowers and plants.
It’s very similar to Pine pollen and
also contains pure testosterone,
like it’s pine cousin. So consume
Bee pollen if you want to increase
your testosterone levels
naturally.
I supplement with this bee
product which has 3 testosterone
boosting ingredients.
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 41
80. Consume vitamin K2
Vitamin K2 is very
essential for healthy
testosterone
production but it’s very
hard to consume
enough. That’s why I
figured out this weird
trick to get adequate
levels of K2 naturally,
check it out!
Vitamin K2 is in my
opinion one of the
most overlooked
vitamins in the world, I
would go as far as even
saying that it can be even more powerful than vitamin D in some cases, so instead
of focusing those same old abcd’s that you’re used to, try to add in the K2 for some
super awesome benefits for testosterone and bloodflow, increase hemoglobin and
stuff…
81. Eat onions
In a study conducted at Tabriz
(Iran), Researchers found out a
very cheap and easy way to
increase testosterone levels on
rats. The researchers just took
some onions, juiced them, and
fed to the rats. They noticed that
the testosterone levels actually
tripled! Yes that’s right, onion
juice tripled testosterone levels
on rats.

82. Consume Selenium To Nourish your Leydic Cells
Selenium is needed by your
testicles to produce testosterone.
Defiency in selenium has been
linked to low testosterone levels,
so to increase testosterone
naturally I’d suggest that you
either supplement with selenium
or eat something that is high in
this mineral. One of those foods
would be Brazil nuts, even as
little as 2 of these nuts is enough
to fill the daily requirement for
selenium.
I usually buy a bulk of these bad boys, and it lasts for months.
83. The ratio between omega-3 and omega-6
If your omega-3 and omega-6
fatty acids are not in optimal
ratio (1:1), will it cause a host of
problems inside your body, and
one of those is low testosterone
levels. These days it has become
almost impossible to obtain that
1:1 ratio that our ancestors had.
It was recently studied that some
americans have this ratio blown
out to 1:40! This is caused by the
over consumption of omega-6
fatty acids, and the fact that we
are not getting any omega-3’s. So avoid those vegetable oils like soybean, canola,
and sunflower oil, and start to consume wild fish with butter and olive oil. These
both are some really nice sources of omega-3’s
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 43
84. Consume High Quality Salts
The basic table salt nowadays is
highly processed and lacks many
key minerals that it originally had
before the manufacturing
process began. Actually the basic
table salt these days contain only
2 minerals, sodium and calsium
chloride. But real salts like
unrefined sea salts and
himalayan crystal salt can contain
up to 80 different minerals.
Another negative aspect in table salt is that some firms actually put fluoride on it
these days, and that will destroy your testosterone levels.
This is as close as you can get to the natural salts.
85. Ejaculation control
In a Japanese study researching
the correlation between
ejaculation and testosterone,
researchers saw minimal
changes to serum testosterone
levels prior 6 days of abstinence.
Then suddenly on the 7th day,
serum testosterone levels
suddenly increased by 145%! The
study only lasted a week and no
further information was
gathered.

86. Say no to steroids
Many bodybuilders will straight
on jump into the world of
steroids when they are first time
told about testosterone, and its
ability to increase muscle mass.
However as you might already
know synthetic testosterone will
pretty much just make your
testicles useless. Your balls are in
no need to produce anything if
you inject testosterone in to the
blood from outer source. So the
thing that happens after you stop taking steroids is that your testicles are not
producing anything anymore. That leads to the growth of man boobs and a host of
other problems. All the same kind of effects that you could expect from hormone
replacement therapy.
87. Consume citrus fruits
Citrus fruits have been linked to a
decrease in estrogen levels, and
like you might already know
leads to an increase in
testosterone levels.
Citrus fruits are also great
for boosting metabolism and
they’re a food that alkalizes your
body, so eat them as much as
you want!
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 45
88. Consume vitamin A
Animal research shows that there
is a clear correlation between
Vitamin A intake and
testosterone levels. Vitamin A not
only increases the production of
testosterone but, according to
the Weston A. Price Foundation,
it also decreases estrogen
production in the male testes.
To reap out the benefits of
vitamin A, you should steer away
from supplements and get it from natural sources.
89. Vitamin E
Vitamin-E has been shown to increase
testosterone levels naturally and also
improve the quality, motility, and volume of
sperm. Also low vitamin-E levels are
associated with high estrogen. So make
sure that you are getting adequate levels of
it.
Vitamin E can also be beneficial for your
skin and hair, which is well, unimportant for
men but still kind of beneficial if you ask
your wife.

90. Supplement with ashwagandha
Aswagandha is one of
the best natural
testosterone
boosters. A study that
conducted in India,
gave men 5 grams of
ashwagandha powder
daily for 3 months, and
after those 3 months
researchers witnessed
a 40% increase in
testosterone levels.
Ashwagandha is also
known for its ability to
increase hemoglobin
and the amount of red
blood cells – both of those are linked to high testosterone levels.
This Ashwagandha tincture is currently the highest quality that I’m aware of.
91. Supplement with Shilajit To Increase Testosterone Levels
By a Factor
Shilajit is a tar like
substance that grows in
the Himalayas. It’s said
that Shilajit is the
cornerstone of
Ayurveda and it clearly
has some pretty nice
testosterone boosting
effects. One study gave
men 200mg of Shilajit
for 90 days and then
witnessed the following
effects: Testosterone
increased by 23.5%,
sperm production
increased by 37.6%,
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 47
oxidative stress levels went down 18%, sperm motility increased by 17.4% and total
sperm count increased by 61.4%.
It was a really hard task to find the real deal, when I was looking for quality Shilajit
around the internet, until I stumbled on to this product which is actually the
masterpiece of a guy who traveled 20 years in the Himalayas looking for the purest
Shilajit. The only downside to this Shilajit is the fact that whenever it’s in stock, it’s
gone in a whim – Authentic Shilajit.
92. Avena sativa Boosts Testosterone
Avena sativa is one of the
saponins that can be found in
oats. It has been shown to
naturally increase testosterone
levels by 105% in a study where it
was combined with nettle roots.
One study also noted that Avena
Sativa was able to unbind
testosterone which was bound to
SHBG, making it “free
testosterone” which is the most
beneficial form of T.
To find out more, read my full post on Avena Sativa and Testosterone.
93. Nettle roots
Nettle roots are well known for their
ability to lower estrogen levels, and as
you can see from the number 92.
above, nettle roots combined with
avena sativa created a nice 105%
increase in testosterone levels.
If you wan’t to learn more about nettle
roots, then read about them on
mytestosterone booster list.

94. Increase Testosterone Naturally By Avoiding depression
I know that once depression gets
really bad it’s not that easy to just
stop being in agony. Still in the
spirit of 100 ways to increase
testosterone naturally, I feel like it
belongs to this list. Depression
has been linked to lowered
testosterone levels, lowered
growth hormone levels and
increased cortisol levels, and
those are some very nasty effects
that will seriously lower your
testosterone levels.
95. Supplement with Fenugreek
Fenugreek has been shown to
naturally increase testosterone
levels, based on a recent study
where the researchers gave
bodybuilders 500mg of Fenugreek
extract for eight weeks. After that
they witnessed a 26% increase in
testosterone and a 1.6kg increase
in lean body mass. It’s not certain
how the Fenugreek does this, but
researchers suggested that
Fenugreek might inhibit the conversion from testosterone to estrogen.
I use this powdered form of Fenugreek to make tinctures.

96. Eat Pomegranate To Nourish Your Testicles
Pomegranate contains
compounds that seem to
increase testosterone naturally
quite well. It’s not certainly sure
how this happens, but
researchers believe that it’s
caused by the active substances
found in pomegranate that
probably stimulate the
concentration of endogenous
antioxidants in the testicles. But
aside of the fact that the
researchers were not sure about how pomegranate increased testosterone, the
study showed a nice 22% boost in testosterone.
97. Ginger Will Increase Testosterone Production
In a controlled human study
conducted in Tikrit (Iran), the
researchers saw a 17.5 increase
in testosterone levels after they
gave the subjects ginger
supplementation. There is still
one thing missing on this study. It
doesn’t show how much ginger
they gave to the men. Without
further information, I will be
consuming a lot of ginger now
on.

98. Increase Testosterone Naturally With Royal jelly
Royal jelly is secreted by the
glands in the hypopharynx of
worker bees. It can be bought as
a supplement, and even as little
as 25 milligrams of Royal jelly has
been shown to naturally increase
testosterone levels by 20% in a
controlled human study.
I supplement with this bee
product which has 3 testosterone
boosting ingredients, including
Royal jelly.
99. Parsley Boosts T
Parsley contains a flavonoid
called apigenin. The researchers
at Texas Tech recently found out
that apigening works in the
testicles by stimulating them to
produce more testosterone.
Luckily it’s very cheap to consume
apigening, since 100g of parsley
contains 300mg apigening,
enough to significantly increase
testosterone levels based on that
study.
100. Holy basil
Holy Basil, or Tulsi as it’s called in India,
managed to create some amazing results
in a controlled animal study. The
researchers fed the leaves of holy basil to
rabbits and measured the testosterone
levels after it. The effects were bit more
drastic than the researchers were
expecting. Testosterone levels actually
fluctuated off the scale. That’s right, the
100 Ways To Increase Testosterone Naturally | AnabolicMen.com 51
researchers were able to measure testosterone up to 1500 ng/dl, but after the
rabbits consumed 5 leaves of holy basil, testosterone levels were higher than the
1500 ng/dl mark. That means the scientist were unable to finally tell how much the
holy basil actually increased testosterone, but the conclusion of this study was that
the increase was at least 395%. Now before you get all excited, we have to
remember that this was an animal study. Still something tells me that an increase
that huge in rabbits must create some effects in humans also, cause we do have
considerably similar reproductive systems.
This is the Holy Basil tincture I’m testing soon.
Conclusion
Well here ends the 100 ways to increase testosterone levels naturally list. I’m sure
that with the use of these 100 ways, you can create a significant increase in
testosterone levels naturally. So stay away from those harmful injections and start
to increase testosterone levels by natural means! It’s cheap, fun, and delicious in
some cases.
If you made it this far, I’d love it if you shared this list around. The list can literally be
life changing to all men battling with low testosterone, and I myself have used many
of these ways to increase my testosterone from normal to all the way trough the
upper limits of reference ranges.
