Overview

Why this framework exists

This framework provides a step-by-step guide on how to increase testosterone levels naturally. It includes two protocols, one for long-term maintenance and one for short-term 'nitro' boosts of sex drive and testosterone. The framework emphasizes the importance of diet, supplements, and lifestyle changes in boosting testosterone levels.

Core principles

3 total
  1. Testosterone is a molecule of many dependencies and should not be treated with external testosterone without troubleshooting the upstream parts of the axis first.
  2. Low libido is not strictly a low-testosterone problem and can be influenced by other hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH).
  3. Increasing LH can increase sex drive and testosterone levels.

Steps

2 steps
  1. Protocol #1: Long-Term and Sustained
    This protocol involves taking fermented cod liver oil + vitamin-rich butter fat, vitamin D3, and short ice baths and/or cold showers. It also involves eating Brazil nuts and maintaining a diet rich in protein and healthy fats.
    Pro tipMake sure to get enough sleep and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support the protocol.
    WarningConsult with a doctor before starting any new supplements or diet.
  2. Protocol #2: Short-Term and Fun 'Nitro Boost'
    This protocol involves eating at least 800 milligrams of cholesterol, such as four or more large whole eggs or egg yolks, within three hours of bedtime. It also involves taking 4 Brazil nuts and 20 raw almonds four hours prior to sex.
    Pro tipMake sure to eat a balanced diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle to support the protocol.
    WarningConsult with a doctor before starting any new supplements or diet.
