About this Talk
A practical discussion about natural testosterone optimisation, focusing on fundamental lifestyle changes and understanding key hormonal relationships.
Key Takeaways:
Core Pillars of Optimisation
- Sleep quality (7-9 hours)
- Nutrition (animal-based foods plus carbs)
- Exercise (resistance training)
- Sufficient carbohydrates (100-200g daily)
- Sunlight exposure
Critical Blood Markers
- Total testosterone
- Free testosterone
- SHBG
- Thyroid hormones
- Prolactin
- DHT
- Estrogen
Hormonal Interactions
- Dopamine and testosterone are bi-directional
- Prolactin can suppress testosterone
- Serotonin can increase prolactin
- Cortisol competes with testosterone production
- T3 thyroid hormone crucial for optimisation
Common Testosterone Suppressors
- Plastic-based products
- Chemical hygiene products
- Tight polyester underwear
- Vaping/smoking
- Insufficient vitamin D
- High stress levels
Thyroid Optimisation
- Focus on T3 optimisation
- Key nutrients: iodine, zinc, selenium, tyrosine

- Include seafood and organ meats
- Consider adaptogenic herbs
Practical Implementation:
- Get morning sunlight exposure
- Practice grounding/earthing
- Maintain adequate carbohydrate intake
- Focus on animal-based nutrition
