What moves the number, and what keeps you doing it
Every claim links to its source. None of it is medical advice. Start here: what is a testosterone coach?
What moves the number
- How to increase testosterone naturally: what the evidence actually supports
Losing fat has the strongest evidence. Sleep matters. Lifting spikes it briefly. Most boosters don't work. The levers ranked by evidence, with sources.
- Testosterone coaching vs TRT: which one you actually need
TRT treats diagnosed hypogonadism. Coaching works on what sits upstream of it — weight, sleep, training. How to tell which you need, and when it's both.
- How to get your testosterone tested properly
Morning, fasting, and twice. What a proper testosterone test looks like, what counts as low, and how to get one done in Ireland.
- Sleep and testosterone: what one short week does
One week of five-hour nights cut young men's daytime testosterone by 10–15%. What the study found, what it doesn't prove, and a sleep routine you'll keep.
- Body fat and testosterone: the lever with the strongest evidence
Across 24 studies, men who lost weight saw testosterone rise — and the more they lost, the bigger the rise. What that means, and how to actually lose it.
- Does lifting raise testosterone? What training actually does
Heavy lifting spikes testosterone for 15–30 minutes. Resting levels barely move. Why you should still lift four times a week.
What keeps you doing it
- Why you keep quitting the gym — and how to stop
About half of people who start an exercise programme quit within six months. It's rarely a knowledge problem. What the research says keeps you going.
- How to train four times a week with a full-time job
The WHO asks for muscle-strengthening on two or more days a week. Four is the target. How to fit it around a job without it collapsing by Wednesday.
- Testosterone coach vs personal trainer: which one you need
A personal trainer runs your sessions. A testosterone coach runs the rest of the week — food, sleep, training days — and rings when you go quiet. How to choose.
