What's a good testosterone booster?

It's amazing how often someone asks me this.

I attribute it to the conditioned response created by years of watching pharmaceutical commercials that claim there’s a simple and easy solution for every health problem.

Low testosterone? Here take this one thing and all your problems will go away.

If there was a true “testosterone booster” supplement you would know about it.

Honestly, TRT is the closest thing we have to a single compound that boosts T as it’s guaranteed to raise your testosterone, because it’s, well, testosterone. 

But I don’t think that’s the right mindset to fix your overall health, in the same way I wouldn’t recommend taking Aspirin to relieve pain caused by a rock in your shoe.

Take the rock out.

Instead, you want to make sure your body has everything it needs to make testosterone, naturally. 

The right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to build testosterone on a daily basis.

The simplest place to start is to make sure there's not a nutrient deficiency contributing to your low T, especially vitamin D and zinc. You also want to make sure you're eating the right fats, like whole eggs, since testosterone is made from cholesterol. 

After that you can choose a botanical medicine to help correct any underlying causes of low T. I use Tongkat ali, for example when SHBG is elevated and we’re trying to signal to the testes to ramp up production, or Fadogia acrastis if LH is low. There are many other options here.

From there it’s just fine-tuning your lifestyle, and within a couple months you can rely on your body to make enough T.
