The Science of Biohacking Testosterone

Updated: Jun 7, 2023


Low testosterone levels in males can lead to erectile dysfunction. They can also affect sleep, mood, the size of the testicles, and more. In both males and females, low testosterone can lead to lower bone mass and reduced sex drive.

Testosterone is a sex hormone often associated with males, though females have small amounts.

It has many important functions, including:

  • the development of the bones and muscles

  • the deepening of the voice, hair growth, and other factors related to appearance

  • the production of sperm




On the other hand, women who lack testosterone may go through hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, and vaginal dryness. In addition, because testosterone aids in the production of red blood cells, the lack of testosterone can result in anemia.


Symptoms of low testosterone:

  1. Reduced Muscle Mass

  2. Reduced Bone Mass

  3. Reduced Sex Drive

  4. Decrease in Energy Levels

  5. Hair Loss

  6. Increase in Body Fat

Symptoms of low testosterone in males:

  1. Erection Problems

  2. Reduction in Testicle Size

  3. Reduction in the Amount of Semen

  4. Difficulty Sleeping

  5. Mood Swings


Symptoms of low testosterone in females:

  1. Hot Flashes

  2. Irregular Menstral Cycles

  3. Anemia

  4. Vaginal Dryness



Natural ways to boost testosterone levels

Weight loss and exercise can often increase testosterone naturally.

While changes to the lifestyle and diet alone may not raise levels sufficiently, they can often help.

It is important to remember that males typically lose testosterone as they age, and the potential benefits of lifestyle changes also decrease over time. Exercise for example, often shows more significant results in younger people.

Diets high in saturated fats can negatively impact a person’s testosterone levels, while zinc and omega 3 fatty acids, and antioxidant vitamins can support testosterone production.

Eating a balanced diet rich in nutrient-dense whole foods and low in saturated fats may help to boost a person’s testosterone levels


Boost your testosterone naturally:

  1. Get Enough Sleep

  2. Reduce Stress

  3. Eat a Healthy and Balanced Diet

  4. Lose Weight

  5. Stay Active and Exercise

  6. Vitamins and Supplements

    • Vitamin D

    • Magnesium

    • DHEA

    • Zinc




RED LIGHT THERAPY FOR TESTOSTERONE

Red Light Therapy, makes use of safe, low levels of red or near-infrared light. The wavelengths of light are similar to sunlight but without the heat or UV rays. A device beams the light onto the areas of the body that require treatment, penetrating beyond the skin into the tissues and muscles to activate deep cellular healing and

regeneration. Red light therapy is a popular treatment for skin disorders, muscle aches and pains, and hair loss, in addition to many other health and beauty problems. It can also ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. But, if it works to relieve these conditions, can red light therapy boost testosterone as well?

Researchers studying animals found that red light therapy on the testicles could raise serum testosterone levels. Another study revealed that Red Light significantly increased the stem cells of the testis and elevated the production of testosterone. . Further findings showed that 30 minutes a day of red light therapy dramatically increased serum testosterone by Day 4 of the treatment without any harmful tissue penetration. So, can red light therapy increase testosterone? A resounding yes!
