How do you deal with "declining libido"? You do things which raise your libido and improve your physical health and well being.
1. Exercise ( squats and heavy exertions followed by rest raise test )
2. Diet ( eat healthy )
3. Minimize alcohol and any other substances which raise estrogen and decrease testosterone
4. Get more control over your life
5. Remove or minimize situations with women were you aren't fvcking
6. Following substances raise test ( zinc, vitamin D, vitamin A )
7. KEEP HAVING SEX! A man must be having sex, sexual droughts over a long enough period will cause lowered sex drive and lowered testosterone.
8. Deal with women who LIKE you. Women who like you look at you in a great light and they want to have sex with you. Any bytch who makes it difficult or doesn't treat you well will diminish your self view if you keep dealing with her.
Great suggestions. I do like to add on to it.
If you're lazy like me, exercise moderately that gives the most bang for the buck so that working out will be sustainable and a lifestyle and not just some chore you will quit in a couple months. Do weights that target multiple muscle groups together like Bench Press and Squats. I found bicycle row situps combined with reverse gravity leg raises to be more effective at flattening my stomach than traditional situps.
I don't drink alcohol these days except on occassions. Alcohol actually lowers testosterone and even worse beer has hops in it which is a plant that contains one of the most phyto-estrogens out there.
No processed foods and only natural carbs like rice/potatoes has really helped. Semi-Keto diet is something I feel is sustainable and realistic to live by.
No soda's or anything with high fructose corn syrup. This is the sweetner companies use to increase their profits since it's a cheaper sugar substitute. Problem is your body doesn't know what to do with it and can't break it down as easy as natural cane sugar so it stores it as fat in your body.
ZMA, Vitamin D, and a good natural multi-vitamin like Rainbow helps day to day activity, mental health, energy, immunity.
Not conclusive but it definitely helped me in the energy and testosterone department is D-Aspartic acid which is also found in many of those "testosterone boosters". It basically tells the liver to start producing testosterone. This mainly helps in older males and one's that aren't in the best shape. If you are young and in good shape, you may not notice anything.
The older you get, the more important it is to balance out your testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol levels. The more stress you have the more your cortisol levels will spike and bring down your testosterone levels. So definitely avoid dramas with any women and try to minimize it in everyday life. Also for guys over 40, do sprints and not run on treadmill or any other long strenuous exercises for more than 45min. This has been shown to raise cortisol levels too. I only weight train and do short sprintsnow. Your joints will thank you for it. Think about it, you can always build muscle and keep them strong but you can't really do too much to improve joints. The just normally deteriorate as you get older.
BTW, I haven't researched it yet but does anyone know if Boron increases DHT in testosterone too? DHT is part of the testosterone that causes male baldness.
