T-Boosting Protocol: Level THREE

Greetings to all my valued followers! In today’s session, I’ll be discussing the third tier within the T-Boosting Protocol.

Why are there FIVE Levels?

Let me provide a clearer understanding of why I’ve structured this into five levels and what each level entails. Level ONE serves as the foundation that remains non-negotiable and forms the fundamental practices necessary for achieving optimal testosterone levels.

Moving on, Level TWO introduces a critical “Do Not” rule and integrates two additional crucial steps aimed at optimizing T-levels. After successfully implementing Level TWO, ensuring adherence to its rules, and waiting for the specified period while monitoring your T-levels (free and total), if there haven’t been any negative changes, it’s time to advance to Level THREE.

However, it’s crucial not to disregard the procedures outlined in Levels ONE and TWO. These levels remain constant throughout the entire process. You might wonder, “Why follow multiple levels instead of implementing all at once?” The rationale is simple: it’s not a one-size-fits-all scientific process. By following a gradual approach, we can pinpoint and address individualized issues related to lifestyle habits and genetic factors. Additionally, implementing the full Levels THREE and FOUR simultaneously can become prohibitively expensive!

Level THREE

Now, let’s delve into Level THREE. What does this tier entail? It primarily revolves around supplements. But, not the ones widely advertised online with exaggerated claims and falsified proof using stolen photos, believe it or not, guys my transformation photos have now been stolen more than 100 times with fake made-up stories about how I supposedly used this or that supplement to get to this level!. Forget about supplements like Tribulus terrestris! EVERYTHING advertised on the internet that even mentions the word testosterone is pure trash and just a way for them to get their hooks into your credit card for recurring monthly deductions.

The supplements I’ll be discussing here have substantial scientific backing. They have been shown to genuinely impact testosterone levels, directly or indirectly. However, their effectiveness varies based on the specific underlying cause of your low T levels. Hence, the importance of adhering to this systematic approach outlined in the T-Management protocol.

It’s crucial not to consume all these supplements together. Instead, a systematic approach is advised. Commence with the first supplement (recognized as the most potent). After three months, if there haven’t been any changes in Free and Total T levels, transition to the second supplement while discontinuing the first, and so on, until you have worked through all THREE supplements.

Like in previous articles guys, the list of science studies used to support the supplements in this video will be at the bottom of this article.

Supplement ONE

Supplement ONE in Level THREE is DHEA, an acronym for Dehydroepiandrosterone. It’s a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, involved in various bodily functions and hormone production. Some studies suggest that DHEA supplementation might enhance testosterone levels in certain individuals, as evidenced in research published in reputable journals.

The rule: Do bloodwork tests for TOTAL T and FREE T before and after 3 months. If it increased, stay the course. If it stayed the same (or decreased), drop Supplement ONE and move onto Supplement TWO.

Supplement TWO

Next, Supplement TWO is DIM (Diindolylmethane), a compound found in cruciferous vegetables. While evidence directly linking DIM to increased testosterone levels in men is limited, it’s well known for aiding hormone balance by modulating estrogen metabolism, potentially optimizing the estrogenic-to-testosterone ratio. Thus any guy who has high oestrogen levels will greatly benefit from DIM and subsequently his testosterone levels (especially Free T) will rise.

The rule: Do bloodwork tests for TOTAL T and FREE T before and after 3 months. If it increased, stay the course. If it stayed the same (or decreased), drop Supplement TWO and move onto Supplement THREE.

Supplement THREE

Lastly, Supplement THREE is Boron, a trace mineral present in foods and soil. Studies have shown a potential relationship between boron supplementation and increased free testosterone levels in men, albeit mechanisms remain partially understood.

The rule: Do bloodwork tests for TOTAL T and FREE T before and after 3 months. If it increased, stay the course. If it stayed the same (or decreased), drop Supplement THREE and move onto Level FOUR of the T-Boosting Protocol.

Stick to the natural approach

By systematically going through Level THREE, you take a significant step in the journey to naturally enhance testosterone levels. Stay tuned for upcoming videos and articles, delving deeper into the science behind each element. Remember, a systematic and scientifically supported approach is your pathway to achieving elevated testosterone levels and reaching your fitness objectives.

Interested in my coaching? I have developed two ground-breaking systems for the older guys: The ADVANCED SYSTEM II (focuses more on a muscled physique) and the PLUS+ system (focuses more on health but still delivers an athletic physique). I now also offer Single Consultations. Find out more here:  CLICK HERE.

Wishing you all productive training sessions and robust testosterone levels and a Merry Christmas!

SCIENCE STUDIES 

Study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (2003): This study involved middle-aged men who received DHEA supplementation for six months. It showed a significant increase in testosterone levels among the participants taking DHEA compared to the placebo group.

Research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (2008): This study examined the effects of DHEA supplementation on older men over a year. It found that DHEA treatment increased testosterone levels in these individuals.

Clinical trial published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology (2013): This study investigated the impact of DHEA supplementation on male athletes. Researchers observed that DHEA intake contributed to elevated testosterone levels compared to a placebo group.

Study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology (2011): This research investigated the effects of boron supplementation on various hormones in men. The study found that boron supplementation (10 mg per day for a week) increased free testosterone levels while decreasing estrogen levels.

Research published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (2015): This study examined the effects of boron supplementation (10 mg per day for seven weeks) on male body composition and hormone levels. The findings suggested that boron supplementation might increase free testosterone levels and decrease estrogen levels in men involved in resistance training.

Study in the Journal of Nutrition (2003) This study investigated the effects of dietary indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a precursor to DIM, on estrogen metabolism in both men and women. I3C is converted to DIM in the body. The research suggested that I3C supplementation influenced estrogen metabolism in both sexes, affecting the ratio of “good” and “bad” estrogen metabolites.

Research in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (2004) While not specifically focused on males, this study examined the effects of I3C supplementation on estrogen metabolism in women. Since DIM is a metabolite of I3C, this study indirectly touches upon DIM’s potential impact on estrogen levels. The research indicated that I3C might modify estrogen metabolism, influencing the production of different estrogen metabolites. 

Clinical Trial in the Journal of Nutrition (2012) This study explored the effects of I3C supplementation on estrogen metabolism in both men and women. It investigated the conversion of estrogen into metabolites and suggested that I3C supplementation might influence estrogen metabolism.
