Around this time last year, I started getting some strange things going on.
I was feeling things like:
- Difficulties with concentration and memory
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Loss of strength in my kettlebell workouts
- Overall decreased sense of well-being
I realized that, through a combination of dieting over a few months to get as lean as possible for my 40th birthday, and the fact that I was actually turning 40 lol, it was possible that I had a drop in my testosterone levels.
I got tested, and sure enough, I was below acceptable range.
Before running out and hopping on testosterone replacement therapy like it seems like so many guys are these days, I decided to look into ways I could boost myself back up normally.
I applied the three things listed below, and within a few months, I had brought my baseline up by over 200 points!
I want to do this naturally as long as possible, and I think you might want to as well, so here are 5 ways you can try to boost natural testosterone levels for better kettlebell workouts (and life!):

5 Ways To Naturally Boost Testosterone For Better Kettlebell Workouts
1 – Train Regularly / Lift Weights
There are a few different ways that exercise can help boost testosterone. First, it can help increase your body’s production of the hormone. Additionally, exercise can help reduce the amount of the hormone that is broken down by your body. And finally, exercise can help increase your testosterone levels by increasing your levels of other hormones that promote testosterone production.
2 – Eat Healthy Fats
One of the most important things you can do to keep your testosterone levels up is to eat healthy fats. Healthy fats help to produce testosterone and other hormones in the body.
Some good sources of healthy fats include olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds. You should aim to get a good mix of these healthy fats in your diet.
3 – Minimize Stress
When you’re stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. This hormone can cause a variety of problems, including decreased testosterone production. So if you’re looking for ways to naturally boost testosterone, one of the best things you can do is to reduce stress in your life.
4 – Get Enough Sleep
We all know that getting a good night’s sleep is important for our overall health. But did you know that it’s also essential for keeping your testosterone levels up? That’s right – studies have shown that men who don’t get enough sleep have lower testosterone levels than those who do. So if you’re looking for a natural way to boost your testosterone, make sure you’re getting plenty of rest!
5 – Supplement with Ashwagandha, Zinc, and Vitamin D
Ashwagandha increases exercise performance, strength, and fat loss while boosting testosterone levels. One small study in 57 men found that taking 600 mg of ashwagandha extract increased testosterone levels by nearly 15% after 8 weeks compared to a placebo.
Zinc and vitamin D are both essential for testosterone production, and can results in low levels of testosterone if deficient.
A great (and tasty!) way to get these herbs and vitamins is with the supplement on the page linked below:
