ADAM ROCKMAN - Boost Your Testosterone
ADAM ROCKMAN - Boost Your Testosterone
Cortisol eats away at muscle, increases fat gain, slows down the immune system and lowers testosterone
The overweight body produces an enzyme called aromatase found in body fat. This enzyme turns
testosterone into estrogen, which as you know is the main sex hormone for women. Perhaps the most
obvious consequence of this is man boobs.
There is evidence that fat cell production is inhibited as Testosterone increases. Testosterone also increases
your metabolic rate, testosterone stimulates the enzyme nitric oxide synthase, a molecule that widens and
relaxes blood vessels and arteries.
This enzyme improves erections, workouts, and shortens recovery time after workouts. It helps your body
function much more effectively as blood is flowing more freely
Men’s testosterone levels significantly decrease when they settle down and start a family; testosterone
begins to decline shortly after marriage
The yolk contains natural cholesterol which is a precursor to the production of testosterone.
An intense half hour of training is all your need to stimulate testosterone production
Cortisol is released during long-term stress and suppresses testosterone production. Also, cortisol
production requires cholesterol, which could be put to much better producing testosterone
Vitamin D deficiency has been correlated with low testosterone.
Dopamine is the opposite of cortisol, when your body is stressed out cortisol starts shutting down non-
essential functions such as testosterone production so your body can focus on survival. But when life is
good and you feel amazing this increases dopamine, which tends to stimulate testosterone production.
Creatine has shown to have a wide range of physical benefits. It helps with power, strength and lean
muscle mass. These results make it a popular body building supplement. Another great benefit is that it is
proven to increase testosterone. It also helps convert it into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which can have up
to 10 times the potency of testosterone.
When you are fat it’s like you have told your body you gave up on being a man, fat converts testosterone
into estrogen via the aromatase enzyme; we need some body fat for proper thyroid function. Too little fat
will mess up your testosterone and metabolism. So avoid going below 8 % body fat.
