There are numerous things that can cause low T. Correcting a hypothyroid condition can raise it alone by 300 ng/dl. Soy is proven to lower T and is loaded with phytoestrogens(stay away from these). Yes the asians can tolerate soy but they’re born with it, unlike us.

Whatever you do, get your blood levels checked, including these three: estradiol, progesterone, prolactin. These are the big ‘3′ troublemakers for men.

besides all these physical means of increasing the BIG T there are psychological means as well. By really digging into your food and enjoying each bite with gusto and zest you naturally release endorphins which are your body’s feel-good hormones. That plus keeping a poker face with masculine features in-tact instead of a roly-poly emotional baby face not to mention a rolling swaying gait that is swaggerlike will work wonders for your self-esteem and self-confidence. personality once reformed by shaping and positive (bio)feedback will automatically get you on the right track. and sex, cars and girls can only help as aids to testing your testosterone.

As a personal trainer these are the instructions I give my male clients.
1. Find a aromatase inhibitor (novodex)
2. Make broccoli your main green vegetable
3. DHEA (for over 40’s)
4. Take daily/twice daily multivitamins ( includes zinc, magnesium, vit c, B group vits)
5. Creatine & taurine

I’ve never seen any difference with tribulus

ZMA is poison. Yes it works, but if you’re wondering why you can’t sleep or have weird dreams at night, its because your body knows its toxic, killing off brain cells by pumping your body full of aspartame.

“Soy protein is high in isoflavones, which has a very similar chemical structure to human estrogen. High levels of soy protein compete with the estrogen for receptor sites in your body.
<<>>

I would have to disagree with you respectfully. Isoflavones do indeed sit on some of the same receptor sites as estrogen, but a key important note is that it doesn’t activate the receptor the same and thus produce the same effects as estrogen. In fact, isoflavones have only a partial estrogen agonizing effect (translation: it works half-assed compared to estrogen). What would be great is to consume soy as the isoflavones can outcompete the estrogen and take up the cell receptor sites having a much weaker effect as if you decreased your estrogen levels. Here is the science to back up what I say:

#1 lose weight. Then afterwards understand that
Any sulfur containing supplements such as NAC, Methionine, Taurine, Garlic, will bind to estrogen and remove it from the body. For instance, Those such as NAC are highly potent antioxidants which help the liver metabolize estrogen especially if combined with alpha lipoic acid. In addition, as mentioned before Mg and Zn are also good. Avoid SUGAR from artificial sources, and even in certain fruits like grapes and bananas, although bananas are good in moderation for the Potassium / Magnesium content. Eat FAtS, like olive oil witch will maintain healty levels of testosterone. Try to eat meat but if possible not the cheap crap laden with antibiotics, flavor enhancers, and hormones.
Such plant phyto estrogens like tumeric although estrogenic are beneficial because they bind to estrogen receptors and inhibit the bad estrogen; Nettle has also worked in this regard and has also been claimed to loosed up bound testosterone, which creates MORE free testosterone in the body.
Definatley avoid soy, plastic, chemicals like the parabens found in lotions + shampoos. Try not to drink beer since its structure is very similar to estrogen, and instead stick with wine or a clean vodka. If your gonna use an aromatase inhibitor like Chrysin, use it in conjuction with bioperine for better absorption.

errata:
i recently found out dioscera is infact a phytoprogesterone.. so in a sense a phytoestrogen as well.. i wonder why most male formulas include phytoestrogens like betasitosterol, yam (dioscera), fenugreek, saw palmetto (lowers libido), soy (in protein bars)????

add xenoestrogens to the list of estrogenic stuff to avoid. they are the most notorious hormone disruptor ever. they include (some i already mentioned) plastic chemicals (BPA & pthalates), agricultural chemicals (triazines/atrazine and pesticides), etc.. to see comprehensive list of xenoestrogens go to this link:

@jake:
you’re right hcg should not be used for extended period of time. most bodybuilders use it during PCT (post cycle therapy) to boost own testosterone production in conjunction with a SERM (Selective estrogen receptor modulators) like nolvadex. and PCT usually spans 3-4 weeks. it shouldn’t have raised your estrogen have you incorporated an aromatase inhibitor like SERM along with hcg.

@rasheed ibrahim:
dates is a phytoestrogen like soy.

@kevin:
nice and very informative post. i am very much like you in the sense that for several years i have been researching about this topic as well. Just to add to your post.

stuff that raises testosterone:
- tongkat ali, dioscera deltoidea, tribulus terretris, niacin, morning bright light, icariin (testosterone mimicking)

stuff that lowers estrogen
(as a result raises testosterone as well):
- I3C & DIM (from cruciferous veg), chrysin, exemestane, letrozole, 6-oxo, magnesium, vit C, sillymarin (for healthy liver function – liver breaks down estrogen & other toxins), SERM (but raises SHBG to some degree), CLA

stuff that lowers SHBG
(as a result raises testosterone as well):
- arginine, muira puama, oats, stanozolol, danazol, divanil, and some of the same stuff that lowers estrogen.

avoid the following estrogenic stuff:
BPA plastic containers, commercial weed killers (triazine, etc), finasteride, soy, red clover, accutane, black cohosh, licorice, thyme, hops, dates, white willow, green tea (raises SHBG)
