Got my blood work done recently. Been feeling off lately even though I lift heavy. Do combat sports. Run in the sun. Do sprints. Eat red meat and healthy fats and carbs. Stay away from dyes, seed oils, and inflammation causes foods. Drink organic bone broth in the mornings. Eat duck fat with my red meat. Don't eat a lot of sweets.
And yet, my sex drive has plummeted. I have trouble sleeping (had for the last 15 years). Brain fog. Hard to pay attention. Can't breathe during my BJJ rolls.
And so my test levels are in the mid 300s. Bummer. I'm not jabbed. But could be all the microplastics. Or just too much screen time. Or breathing in chem trail air. Or just getting older in a hormone destroying world.
Before consulting about trt, wanted you guys opinion on TRT or natural testosterone boosting methods.
Thanks all.
I would stay away as much as I can from any pharma garbage. TRT also does permanent damage to your body by shrinking your testosterone producing glands. So once you go on it, you are basically stuck with it.
Usually the main reason the testosterone drops is either a mineral deficiency or hormone imbalance caused by too much estrogen.
Looking at your post you mentioned that you have trouble sleeping. Usually Magnesium deficiency is associated with inability to sleep. Magnesium is also one of the most important minerals when it comes to testosterone production. I recommend magnesium glycinate as a supplement for this. Magnesium glycinate has been linked to estrogen detox via liver.
As a side note, lemon balm tea helps with sleeping at night. Been giving it to my MIL who also has sleeping issues and she's been sleeping like a baby. If you buy it, buy organic.
Next up is zinc. Zinc by itself helps with testosterone production, but zinc also has a different function, it is an aromatese inhibitor. What is aromatese? It's an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Zinc is a very potent aromatese inhibitor and zinc also boosts your immune system on top of 100 other essential functions for your body.
Here is a fun fact: Nicotine is also an aromatese inhibitor and a spike protein destroyer. Does it make sense as to why the cabal made a push to eliminate nicotine from daily consumption? If you get it, get it as a patch to avoid your lungs being filled with carcirogens.
Tongkat ali is like a cheat code. This thing pumped my energy through the roof. If you get it, get the Microingridientes Tongkat Ali, since it's the non-toxic version that you don't have to cycle. Best one I tried. I would still take it 6 days on 1 day off.
Boron is another mineral that boosts your test like crazy. Some people recommend cycling it personally I don't as long as you take an aromatese inhibitor like zinc or an estrogen detoxer like magnesium glycinate.

Last but not least, try cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and cabbage have liver detox properties and detox your excess estrogen .
And that should be it anon. Good luck and let me know if this helped you.
Apologies for the late reply, life has been getting in the way lately.
As far as Boron goes, I take the NOW Foods Boron which is Bororganic Glycine(helps with sleep too).
If you want to take Boron, make 100% sure you take a Magnesium supplement as well. Boron tends to pull Magnesium from your blood and into the bone and sometimes that can give you anxiety.
That's why having adequate magnesium intake is essential for having great mental health as well as optimal testosterone levels.
