hey it's Dr Burk here in this video we're going to talk about how to raise testosterone in men okay so AG the aging process alone lowers testosterone by the time you hit 40 testosterone is on its way down it's is peaked at 18 years old okay so um and then what happens a lot of people start taking biogenic hormones the problem with taking biogenic hormones is that it inactivates your own testicle and adrenals that are supposed to make it okay so we end up creating a problem with a shrinking testicle and an adrenal that becomes
inactivated if you take it too long the symptoms for low testosterone would be prostate enlargement now sometimes people will have this confusion and say that well I thought testosterone causes a Prost enlargement and they're talking about a powerful form of testosterone called DHT well first of all if testosterone causes a prostate enlargement then then as you get older and men have more incidents of prostate enlargement then that does not correlate with the aging process that lowers testosterone so really what happens it's the lower testosterone that makes the estrogen become more it's the estrogen dominance in
a male body that creates the enlargement of the uh prostate in fact certain doctors use DHT to shrink the prostate so more testosterone will make the prostate healthier and protect the prostate against the estrogen decrease libido erectile dysfunction we talked about the shrinking testes muscle loss just it's hard to get muscle tone you're working out you can't get the tone toning the muscles you start losing collagen things start hanging from your body like breast tissue and the skin and collagen loss of Vitality loss of body hair even in your like lower part of your legs
man boobs higher voice other than that you have nothing to worry about right okay what causes this problem number one too much estrogen it's in the it's in the meats it's in the dairy products it's in the food GMO food that's why you have to do organic hormone free um it's even in the water supply there's estrogen if you do tap water so that's how you have to get a filter and only drink filtered water and most filters will uh get rid of the estrogen but yeah and it's you it's in the water supply um
having liver um be damaged if you have a fatty liver you're going to produce more estrogen and that's going to lower testosterone unfortunately if you drink alcohol that's very estrogenic that's going to make the estrogen go up and the testosterone go down I'm sorry but that's the way it is high insulin insulin from sugar like grazing at night snack sming too much like by the time you have dinner and you keep eating from that point while you're sitting there watching TV it's going to spike insulin it's going to lower testosterone so you want to do
three meals a day and that's it maybe even two meals a day lowfat diets uh that'll do it um medications uh statins uh high blood pressure medications uh diabetic medications those are the three that really mess with this hormone um and this other thing called High aromatase that's an enzyme in your body that's made by the adrenals it's also made by the testes that converts your testosterone to estrogen so here you are trying to salvage that last bit of testosterone you have and this darn enzyme is converting it to estrogen and the body is becoming
more feminized um well there's a couple things that you can do um to correct that number one this remedy called stingy nettler root it's a aromatase inhibitor okay zinc is a romat inhibitor you can take those to decrease this U process happening in your in your liver and your body so those are two good remedies that you can get from the he store uh the other thing is to increase growth hormone growth hormone is the anti-aging hormone growth hormone is made uh by the pituitary and it works through your liver wherever growth hormone goes testosterone
follows so there's there's several things that will increase growth hormone um eating moderate not high amount of protein with each meal um sleep getting enough sleep lowering stress which will enhance the Sleep intense full body and exercise that will Spike growth hormone Spike testosterone deadlifts are the best workout to increase testosterone because you're using upper body and lower body but you have to get your form down and work up very gradually or you could hurt your back um inter fasting okay that will also correct the insulin right here so not eating so frequent will help
this as well it's interesting uh the whole the whole thing is it's like I don't know who came up with this idea we have to have three meals a day or six meals a day you got want to eat when you're hungry if you eat the right things you're going to be more satisfied you'll work off your own fat and you'll need to eat less but you never want to eat if you're not hungry okay anti-estrogenic foods that would be cruciferous okay kale broccoli brussel sprouts cabbage very very important to clean out the estrogen because
it could be the estrogen that's holding down your testosterone if you want something to enhance that I have a a product called whole cruciferous food it has all the cruciferous you take about six of these three to six a day um and that will help you into uh to to enhance these cruciferous foods and then you want to decrease cortisol cortisol is a stress hormone from the adrenals um and that uh is kind of dependent on how much sleep that you get but also Sun uh I had this guy he had this pot belly and
all you have to do is go to Florida for one week in the sun and it just comes right down it's amazing so a good amount of sun lowers cortisol that will help shrink the belly as well so that's another remedy yes you can do vitamin D in the winter but if you can get some sun that would help lowering cortisol okay so these are just some tips to help you uh enhance this hormone so put your comments below thanks for watching
