029: Why Are Testosterone Levels Declining? (& What Should We Do About It) With Blake Bowman

After hitting 30, your testosterone levels drop by about 1% per year. This is a natural, but not optimal, process. But there’s a bigger problem when it comes to testosterone: 

Even young 20-year-olds have devastatingly low testosterone levels! 

Low testosterone tanks your energy levels, your confidence, and even your work ethic. It also makes it harder to burn fat and build muscle. And low testosterone even has adverse effects on your mental health. 

So, what’s causing this low testosterone epidemic? And what are some natural ways to optimize your testosterone—at any age? 

In this episode, Blake Bowman, owner of Guerrilla Zen Fitness, joins me to discuss simple strategies (and more advanced biohacks) to naturally boost your testosterone levels.
