Progesterone is a precursor for testosterone and helps maintain healthy testosterone levels. Potential progesterone benefits for men include the following: •Anti-inflammatory •Decreases inflammation in the brain •Increases neurogenesis •Protects against dementia, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's •Anti-depressant effects •Helps increase the production of sperm •Helps maintain muscle mass •Supports the immune system •Prevents the enlargement of the prostate •Helps reduce the risk of breast tissue in men Cholesterol is the raw material for all steroid hormones in the body. Statins block cholesterol and can inhibit your ability to make important hormones, leading to hormonal imbalance. Sardines, organ meats, fatty meat, and whole milk cheese are the best sources of cholesterol. Cholesterol is turned into pregnenolone, a “happy” hormone that helps increase other hormones. Pregnenolone is the precursor to progesterone. These 3 cofactors allow you to turn cholesterol into pregnenolone. 1. Magnesium Many people are deficient in magnesium. Increasing magnesium can often solve low testosterone. Avocados, leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, or magnesium glycinate supplements are good sources of magnesium. 2. Zinc Zinc can increase testosterone levels. Shellfish, oysters, and red meat are the best sources of zinc. 3. Vitamin B3 Nutritional yeast supplements are the best source of niacin. Chronic stress, insulin, and endocrine disruptors can interfere with the biochemical pathways that support healthy hormone balance. Alcohol also decreases testosterone. Inflammation can negatively affect progesterone in men. Vitamin D can indirectly increase progesterone and testosterone by decreasing inflammation. You need at least 10,000 IU per day! If you have low progesterone or low testosterone, you’ll need around 20,000 IU per day. If you want to boost testosterone, you need to consume quality protein. Grass-fed red meat is the best source. High-intensity interval training and resistance training stimulate the body to make more testosterone. Avoid overtraining! --- Learn more about your ad choices.

Let’s talk about it. Yes, we need water—I’m not against drinking water. But I think we need to rethink the concept of sipping on something constantly. An interesting research paper suggests that thirst triggers oxytocin, the trust and love hormone. This is also a powerful stress-reducing hormone. If you drink something all day long, you may not trigger oxytocin as much as if you waited until your body gave you signals of thirst. We know the importance of eating intermittently, but what about drinking intermittently? We don’t want to reduce the quantity of water we drink, but what if we decrease the frequency we drink? Drinking too much water can dilute your stomach acid and affect your digestion. It can also flush out electrolytes and lead to low sodium levels. A sodium deficiency may cause fatigue, weakness, an increase in adrenaline, and many other health concerns. You need a combination of water and sodium in your diet to really hydrate your body. I think we need to ask ourselves more often whether we’re actually thirsty or not. You may even find your stress goes down a bit if you don’t over-hydrate.
