4 Daily Habits to Naturally Support Testosterone After 40

Testosterone isn’t just about libido—it impacts your strength, recovery, body fat, energy, and motivation.

Here’s how to support it naturally—no needles required:

1. Lift heavy 3–4x/week

   Compound movements like squats and deadlifts stimulate hormone production.

2. Sleep 7–9 hours

   The majority of your testosterone is released during deep sleep.

3. Eat enough fat

   Dietary fats (like eggs, avocado, olive oil, and red meat) are critical for hormone production.

4. Manage stress

   Chronic cortisol crushes testosterone. Walk, stretch, breathe—whatever brings you down a notch.

Optimize these, and your hormones will thank you.

Lifestyle Win: Small Changes, Big Hormonal Impact

You don’t need to overhaul your life to feel better—you need to be more consistent with the basics. 

Here are 3 small changes you can make today that boost hormone health:

Get 10–15 minutes of morning sunlight

Stop eating 2 hours before bed to improve sleep quality

These aren’t hacks—they’re foundational habits that move the needle.

Question from Our Readers:

"Should I consider TRT if my energy and libido are low?"

– Ben, 54, from Atlanta, GA

It depends—and you should always work with a trusted medical provider before jumping in.

Here’s what to consider:

Step 1: Get full labs (not just total testosterone—also check free T, SHBG, cortisol, thyroid, and DHEA)

Step 2: Optimize lifestyle for 3–6 months: sleep, strength training, nutrition, stress

Step 3: If symptoms persist, TRT might be the right move—but it’s a lifelong commitment for many

TRT isn’t a shortcut. It’s a medical tool. For some men, it’s a game-changer. For others, lifestyle changes are enough.

Start with the basics—and go from there.
