MANAGING TESTOSTERONE

Testosterone Balancing Recommendations

Foods to eat : ▶ Dandelion greens and parsley.

▶ Vitamin E containing foods such as soybeans, cornmeal, unrefined oils, Nova Scotia dulse, wheat germ and dark leafy green vegetables. These foods and their vitamin E are excellent for the circulatory system and act as an antioxidant.

▶ Consume fresh fruits and vegetables for their high vitamin, mineral, enzyme and fiber content.

▶ Foods that are high in zinc and essential fatty acids such as raw unsalted nuts and seeds, raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds, eggs, fish, seafood, sardines and dried legumes.

▶ Whole grain cereals and breads, organic brown rice, kamut, oats and spelt

▶ Unrefined cold pressed flax seed oil, ground flax seed, walnut oil and fish high in omega 3 fatty acids.

▶ Foods that are high in selenium such as tuna, mackerel, brazil nuts, whole grains, garlic onions and dandelion greens.

▶ Vegetarians can enjoy fermented organic soy such as tofu, miso and tempeh.

Be sure to participate in a regular fitness program of both cardiovascular and resistance training. Practice relaxation techniques, avoid cigarette/cigar smoke and second hand smoke.

FOODS TO AVOID:

▶ Highly processed items such as instant, canned and frozen prepared foods.

▶ All white flour products including white bread, white rice, bagels, buns, pita, etc.

▶ Hydrogenated oils, shortening and margarine.

▶ Soft drinks, tap water and alcohol.

Tr o u b l e S p o t N u t r i t i o n2

▶ Artificial ingredients such as preservatives, additives, artificial color and flavour.

▶ Excessive amounts of caffeine (keep it under 150 mg/day pre-exercise only).

▶ Sugar and sweets as found in donuts, cake, pastries and sugary cereals.

▶ Junk foods such as hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, French fries and battered foods.

Supplements to Manage Testosterone1. Indole -3-carbinol. Indole -3-carbinol is naturally occurring in broccoli and other cruciferous

vegetables. This helps prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

Recommended dose is 200 mg, twice daily.

2. Tribulus Terrestris. Tribulus Terrestris may help increase testosterone production by the body. Results with clients have been mixed but it is worth trying to see if it works for you.

Recommended dose is 500 mg, twice daily. Often combined with 1,000 mg Fenugreek (another reported testosterone booster).

3. Zinc. Zinc deficiencies can reduce the body’s production of testosterone.

Recommended dose is 50 mg, once daily.

4. Tongkat Ali. Tongkat Ali stimulates the Leydig cells of your testes, which boosts testosterone production.

Recommended dose is 100-300 mg daily.

5. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). When all else fails, TRT is the most reliable method of increasing testosterone. See your doctor for a personalized prescription.

Mix in the peach and wheat germ and top with pumpkin seeds. *Kefir is an excellent food made from milk or soymilk that has been fermented with a kefir culture. It is similar to yogurt, but with its own unique, flavor and texture. Kefir has all the advantages of yogurt; it is great for lactose-intolerant people and it works as a probiotic in the intestinal tract, promoting the growth of friendly bacteria. **Stevia (Stevia Rebaudiana), a perennial shrub indigenous to South America, is about 300 times sweeter than table sugar. Stevia is rich in vitamins and minerals, has 0 calories, promotes healthy teeth and gums, may aid weight loss, and is an excellent alternative for diabetes as stevia does not affect blood sugar levels.
