How I Naturally Increased My Testosterone With 7 Simple and Powerful Methods

 How I Naturally Increased My Testosterone With 7 Simple & Powerful Methods, Christopher Terzakos, 2023

 

The author is your average person over 60 years old, who is passionate about fitness. He is in the gym nearly every day. Over the past few years, he noticed that was getting more moody and irritable, and had trouble sleeping. The amount of weight he had been able to bench press was dropping. A blood test said that he had low testosterone. The number was not a  little low, but very low.

 

Some of the effects of low testosterone include heart disease, reduction in bone strength, anxiety, memory loss and lack of self-confidence. There is a treatment available, called Testosterone Replacement Therapy. It is for the rest of your life, and has some side effects of its own. Included are an increased likelihood of a fatal heart attack, bone fractures (from osteoporosis), and enlarged prostate and a required blood transfusion every 3 months because your blood is thickening. The author looked for a natural way to fix his problem.

 

Among his discoveries were to get a good night's sleep, get 15-20 minutes of sunlight daily, eat healthy (or, at least, eat healthier), reduce or eliminate your consumption of alcohol and exercise. The author also started taking daily supplements. A trip to your doctor is a good idea before taking any supplements. The other discoveries are things that everyone should be doing, regardless of their health level.

 

It is possible to reverse medical conditions without resorting to drugs. This book is short, full of information and recommended for any male sufferer of Low-T.

Belonging to Yourself

Belonging to Yourself: How Self-Love, Wisdom, and Simple Changes Can Transform Your Life, Christopher Terzakos, 2022

 

This is the story of one person's journey from pain and heartache to love and transformation.

 

A native of New York City, the author's parents divorced when he was a child. Mom did the best she could, raising four children. As teenagers, the author and his older sister ran away from home. One day, Mom drove him to his father's house (he had re-married and started a family) and basically said, "He's all yours" as she drove away. He was immediately accepted by his step-family. It was his first exposure to what a family is supposed to look like.

 

He worked in the construction business, and quickly rose through the ranks. Later in life, he helped build the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Life was good. When it came to relationships, life wasn't so good. He got married too early (it ended after a couple of years). Another relationship ended when he learned that she was a drug addict. The author decided that the world won't end if he isn't in a relationship; it's OK to concentrate on yourself for a while.

 

Throughout his life, he had several mentors or father-figures that he could look up to. Whenever someone need help, emotional or financial, they could count on the author to be there. Whenever he needed such help, he certainly found out who his real friends were.

 

Here is a very inspirational story that is recommended for everyone. It is very much worth reading.
