So what’s sapping our T? Here’s a few of the factors at play:<br />

• Stress. Stress increases our level of cortisol and decreases<br />

our testosterone.<br />

• Lack of sleep. Testosterone rises while you sleep, particularly during<br />

the REM phases. Today, men are often skimping on their shut eye,<br />

which in turn is sapping their testosterone.<br />

• Soy intake. Soy is supposed to be so good for you, right? Wrong! Soy<br />

increases your estrogen and decreases your T. It will also lower your<br />

sperm count.<br />

• Eating a low fat diet. Low fat diets have been widely debunked these<br />

days. But in case you needed yet another reason to put down the<br />

Snackwell’s, it has also been proven to decease your T.<br />

Today’s Task:<br />

Increase Your Testosterone<br />

So your task for today is to do three things from the following list that<br />

will help increase your testosterone. Obviously, doing more than 3 is great,<br />

and I would encourage you to commit to them for the whole 30 days and<br />

beyond. Beyond that, in 2012 we wrote a comprehensive week-long series<br />

about T and how to increase your T naturally. Read up on that as well, and<br />

your virility will be on its way up in no time.<br />

1. Get at least 8 hours of sleep tonight.<br />

2. Do not eat anything with soy in it. You’re going to have to read labels.<br />

It will blow your mind how many things contain soy these days.<br />

3. Meditate for at least 10 minutes. This will help you de-stress.<br />
