1. Spicy Lamb Stew

This spicy lamb shank stew is super-easy

to make and it’ll last for days. One of my

ultimate T-boosting favorites. Look

closely to the ingredient list and you’ll

see that almost everything on it has a

positive effect on testosterone

production;

3 lbs of lamb shoulder meat, cubed

3 tablespoons of olive oil

2 onions, chopped

6 cloves of garlic, minced

2 red bell peppers, chopped

2 tablespoons of ginger, ground

1½ tablespoons of cayenne pepper, ground

2 cups of beef stock

5 tomatoes, puréed

1 handful of fresh parsley

1 teaspoon of pure sea salt

1 teaspoon of pepper

Preparation:

— Add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan or high sided pot. Add the lamb

meat cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes until the cubes are evenly brown on all sides.

Put the meat into a bowl.

— Heat the same pan or high sided pot that you cooked the lamb cubes in, but this

time put it to medium-high heat and add in the onions and bell peppers. Cook,

stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 more

minute.

— Throw in the beef stock, lamb cubes, cayenne pepper, ginger, puréed tomatoes,

and fresh parsley leaves. Bring the pan or pot to boil over high heat, then lower the

heat to low and cook partially covered for 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender.

— Season with salt and pepper. Eat.

Why exactly is the lamb stew testosterone-friendly?

Lamb meat is a good source of carnitine

which is an amino-acid that increases

androgen receptor density and sensitivity.

There’s also saturated fat, cholesterol, high

quality protein, zinc, several B vitamins,

and CLA in lamb meat and all of which are

linked to increased testosterone

production.

Olive oil consists mostly of

monounsaturated fatty accids, which in this

study were shown to be pro-testosterone.

This study found out that olive oil

converted cholesterol more easily into

testosterone. And this study saw that

healthy male subjects who switched to

using olive oil as their main source of fat

noted a 17% increase in their testosterone

levels.

Onions contain hefty amounts of quercetin

and alliins, compounds that both are linked to increased T production. Moreover

this study found out that feeding fresh onion juice to male rats more than tripled

their serum testosterone levels.

Garlic is also rich in alliins and quercetin, and it comes not as a surprise that few

studies have found out its testosterone boosting effects, such as this and this study.

Ginger increased testosterone levels by 17% in this human study, and it more than

doubled testosterone levels in this rat study. This animal study also found out that

it works similarly in diabetic rats.

Cayenne pepper, at least according to this study, may have a testosterone

boosting effect.

Parsley contains a compound called apigening, which stimulates testosterone

synthesis inside isolated leydig cells.

2. Guacamole

Who doesn’t love to dip everything in

Guac? Nobody! This classic guacamole

recipe combines all of the T-boosting

goodness into the ultimate Mexican

dipping experience. The ingredients

speak for theirselves;

4 ripe Haas avocados

3 tbsp lemon juice (1 lemon)

1 tsp cayenne pepper

½ cup diced red onion

1 large garlic clove (minced)

1 tsp coarse sea salt

1 diced tomato

Preparation;

— Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add

lemon juice, cayenne pepper, diced onions, garlic, salt, and tomatoes.

— Take a sharp knife and start dicing the avocado halfs into smaller pieces. Once

done, mix well and you’re finished.

Why Guac is Pro-T?

Avocados are loaded with testosterone

boosting monounsaturated-fats (MUFAs),

while also being a source of a bitter

glycoside; oleuropein, which increased T

levels by a staggering 250% in this rat study.

Add in 20 dietary vitamins and minerals

present in the flesh of an avocado. Many

which your body uses and requires to

produce testosterone: A, K2, C, B2, B5, B6,

zinc, magnesium, and copper, and you have

yourself one of the possibly best

testosterone boosting ingredients as a base

for this recipe.

Cayenne pepper, Although not significant, there’s a study which suggests that

the capsaicin in cayenne pepper can protect your testosterone levels from the

stress of a calorie deficit.

Garlic and onions both correlate heavily with increased T production in multiple

animal studies (study, study, study, study, study).

3. Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

This recipe is courtesy of the Midnight

Baker blog, it’s quite simple to made in

a slow-cooker, and its chock-full of

testosterone boosting ingredients;

6 beef blade steaks

8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 tbs fresh thyme, minced

1 ½ tsp cayenne pepper

3/4 cup beef stock

1/4 cup dry sherry

1/4 cup sorghum flour

4 tbs olive oil

½ cup heavy cream

2 tbs fresh parsley, chopped

salt & pepper to taste

Preparation;

— Heat a pan over medium heat. Add in 1 tbs olive oil and the mushroom slices.

Cook until the mushrooms start to brown. Remove from pan and put into the slow

cooker.

— Return the pan to medium heat and season the blade steaks with salt and pepper.

Add 1 tbs of olive oil again and brown the steaks. Once browned, set them aside on

a plate.

— Once again, return the pan to medium heat, this time add: 2 tbs olive oil, sliced

onions, and ground cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for a minute, then add the

sorghum flour and dry sherry into the mix. Cook again for a minute, then pour the

contents of the pan into the crockpot.

— Add the blade steak slices on top of the mixture in crockpot, cover, and cook for

6-8 hours on low heat.

— After 6-8 hours, remove the steaks into a serving plate and cover with foil so that

they stay warm. Meanwhile add the heavy cream and chopped parsley into the

liquid still in the slow cooker. Heat for another 10 minutes to make a sauce. Pour

the sauce on top of the blade steaks, and serve with mashed potatoes.

Here’s why the swiss steak boosts testosterone;

Beef steak is easily the best source of

animal protein you would want to eat on a

high testosterone diet (here’s why).

White button mushrooms are natural

aromatase inhibitors, meaning that they

inhibit the conversion from testosterone

into estrogen (study, study, study).

Onions have been linked to increased

testosterone production in multiple animal

studies (study, study, study, study).

Cayenne pepper has a testosterone

protecting effect in testicular leydig cells,

that is, at least when you’re on a diet

(study).

Sorghum has a potent DHT boosting

effect, which was noted in this in-vitro

study.

Olive oil is a great source of

monounsaturated fatty acids, which are

crucially important for healthy testosterone production (here’s why). Also, a study

with young Moroccan men saw that 2 weeks of using olive oil as a main source of

fat, increased testosterone levels by 20%.

Heavy cream is a great source for saturated fat, a.k.a, the most testosterone

friendly type of dietary fat (study, study, study, study).

Parsley contains high amounts of a compound called apigening, which has been

linked to significant increases in testosterone production, due to its stimulatory

effect on testicular StAR protein (study).

4. The Men’s Salad

Salad doesn’t have to be a boring

experience of rabbit foods. In fact you

can whip up a hormonally nourishing

health-bomb of a salad in few minutes

with this recipe that includes;

3 cups leafy greens

2 eggs, boiled

½ cup blue cheese

5 slices bacon, crumbled

1 avocado

3 tomatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

Preparation;

— Cook the bacon, crumble into a cup. Boil the eggs and peel + slice them to your

liking.

— Combine everything in a large bowl and now you have a salad.

Here’s why this salad is you high-testosterone fuel;

If you use spinach as a lettuce base, it’s

filled with natural nitrates that convert into

nitric oxide inside of your body. This

occurence will then increase your blood

flow. Spinach is also filled with a natural

steroid called ecdysterone, which is linked

to elevated testosterone production.

Eggs are packed with cholesterol, which is

the direct precursor of testosterone and

linked to elevated testosterone production

in various studies. Eggs are also filled with

choline, which helps your body to chelate

(get rid off) estrogens.

Blue cheese is filled with live bacteria,

enzymes, and probiotics, and those are all

linked to supreme health and elevated

testosterone production.

Bacon gives you some natural saturated fat

which is the kind of fat that stimulates

testosterone synthesis. Bacon will also give you hefty doses of testosterone

boosting cholesterol.

Avocado is jam-packed with mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which in this study

increased testosterone production. Avocados also contain various T boosting

vitamins such as: C, E, D, and K2.

Olive oil will help your testicles to convert cholesterol more easily into

testosterone. It also increased testosterone levels by 17% in this study. Olive oil

also has a compound called Oleuropein which is shown to be anti-estrogenic in few

in-vitro studies.

5. Max-Testo Burger

Every man needs a good burger once in a

while. Heck, why not every day? If you

make your own, using quality

ingredients and T-boosting fats, this

delicious recipe is far from “fast food”;

4 hamburger buns

1 lb beef, ground

4 bacon slices

4 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp himalayan or sea salt

1 tbsp ground pepper

½ red onion, sliced

4 white button mushrooms, chopped

½ cup blue cheese

4 slices cheddar cheese

1 cup mayo (olive oil base)

1 cup of lettuce

Preparation;

— Preheat a grill over high heat.

— In a bowl, mix the ground beef, mustard, salt, and pepper. Then shape the

mixture into 4 evenly sized patties and grill for 5 minutes a side or until they’re

roughly medium doneness. Then add the cheddar cheese slices on top of the patties

and grill for 1 more minute.

— Throw the bacon slices, onion slices, and white button mushrooms into the grill

or into a pan, grill/cook until they’re all evenly brown.

— Cut the buns in half and grill for 10 seconds the cut side facing down.

— Start assimilating the hamburger in the order you prefer.

— Eat.

Here’s the T-boosting magic behind these burgers;

Ground beef is a good source for carnitine

which is linked to increased androgen receptor

density and sensitivity. Also meat eaters tend to

have higher testosterone levels than the fellows

who refuse to eat it.

Bacon is an excellent source for testosterone

boosting cholesterol and saturated fat.

All kinds of onions are filled with quercetin and

alliins, which both are linked to increased

testosterone production. Few studies have also

examined the effects that onions have on

testosterone levels and found only positive

correlations (study, study, study, study).

Blue cheese is filled with probiotics, healthy bacteria, and live enzymes, all of

which are linked to elevated testosterone levels.

White button mushrooms have the ability to inhibit the aromatase enzyme. It’s

an enzyme that converts testosterone molecules into estrogen molecules. Thus,

blocking its activity will naturally increase your testosterone levels.
