Do you have SEX DRIVE??? Part 1- What’s Testosterone got to do with me?
Hey there
I’m eager to discuss my favorite hormone testosterone and how to elevate yours to ideal levels…
Contrary to popular belief, both men and women produce testosterone.
Your goal in life is to sustain normal levels of testosterone and to maintain your levels at the ideal range by using “natural methods”.
Here are the benefits of normal Testosterone levels
Optimal sex drive (: )
Increased energy and motivation
Enhanced memory and cognitive function
More muscle tone and less body fat
Lower risk of Heart disease and certain caners
There are 2 ways to check your testosterone levels
- Get a full panel blood test
- Read the symptoms of low testosterone below and see if it applies to you
I recommend doing a full panel blood test to make sure your test levels are as high as they can naturally be. I schedule a full panel blood test for myself every year to and closely monitor my hormone levels.
I take an extra step of precaution to make sure all of my levels are in their prime ranges.
They key thing is to ask your doctor for a full panel testosterone blood test scheduled first thing in the morning.
Testosterone levels are the highest first thing in morning, (we both know why ; )
Normal Testosterone Ranges
Men- 240-830 ng/DL
Women- 30-95 ng/dL
Here is a copy of my recent testosterone blood test
As you can see I am on the higher end of the scale at 881.
(I maintain this all year round with my all natural “Sneaky Test Boosting Techniques” which I will share with you soon… )
Throughout my years of research and experience I have discovered exceptional tactics that I practice daily to boost my T levels.
Simple changes in your daily habits, nutrition and exercise will elevate your hormones to their peak ranges.
Years ago when I was overweight and had bad habits my testosterone levels were lower than they are now.
The symptoms of low testosterone levels.
Lower sex drive
Lack of vitality and endurance
Increased Fat storage
Decreased muscle mass
Diminished bone strength
Reduced cognitive function and memory loss
Sleep disturbances
The awesome thing is that you can FULL control of boosting your testosterone levels to their normal levels.
The tactics that I will share with you will apply to both males and females.
Stay tuned for part 2 where I show you my sneaky testosterone boosting tactics. They will keep your MOJO at full force and have you feeling and looking better than ever!
Talk soon,

ooooo AJ, i really look forward to reading the next post! what a neat person you are
I am currently 18 years old(19 in August). I took accutane for 8 months, and quit about 6 months ago. Prior to accutane, my testosterone was anywhere between 200 to 300. Since then, several blood and salivary tests have shown my testosterone between 50 and 70. Accutane is the only possible reason for this considering it was literally the only change in my ruitine. The lost testosterone has serriously compromised my football performance and muscle growth. Why did I react this way to accutane, and will my natural testosterone come back eventually?
It is absolutely true. I can not believe this is not mentioned in any of the literature about accutane. I took accutane when I was 16 to get rid of my acne. It worked like a charm. I am 22 now and have had no further acne problems. However, I have always known that the drug had to have some effect on my testosterone level. My entire personality changed. I used to be very aggressive. Although I never played any sports for the school, I would always get the football in games in PE because I was virtually impossible to tackle. I could carry 3 or 4 guys on my back without going down. Also, I was one of the bigger guys in my class at the age of 16. I completely stopped growing after taking accutane. All of my classmates grew, while I only got smaller. Even my political views switched from conservative to extremely liberal, as someone reported earlier. These are, by far, the most bizarre side effects of accutane, completely eclipsing the dry skin and chapped lips, and yet I never heard a THING about it. I'm quite angry about this. Even today, no official reports that I have seen include low test as a side effect. This is something that people need to know about. It is NOT worth it. Give me my testosterone back… acne and all, I don't care. And it has been 6 years since I took it, and the effects have not waned. I have great trouble gaining weight, and the delicate features of my face, that others have described, are still there. I have a question about the test boosters- will they still work at my age? After going this long with depleted testosterone levels, do I have any hope of restoring myself back to normal? Accutane got rid of my acne alright, but I would NOT recommend it to any men- especially if they have not reached full adulthood.
AJ, I feel good when I’m over 500 (ng/ml or whatever it is) and like crap when I’m under that. I went on TRT after being around 200 to 300 for six months straight, and I felt terrible. These days I try to stay between 600 and 1,000 and I feel GREAT when I’m at those testosterone levels.
From what I read birth control tends to have adverse impact on sex drive in many women. A lot of women don't even realize this because so many start in their teens. Women who have been on birth control for years probably don't even know what a "normal" sex drive actually is because the pills continue to dampen sex drive longer after they are stopped. Sometimes it takes months or years for the sex drive to normalize after stopping birth control. Good luck finding a doc that will also tell you these things.

Can’t wait to follow you along as you keep pumpin out great posts . I’ve been in the fitness industry for 17 years and still learn something new everyday. I tried to download your free program but I didnt get anything?

Artie you should def get blood tests before and after you go on accutane to see the effects it has on your test levels
Linebacker- in part 2 I will dicuss my methods of naturally boosting your test levels!

Just to let you know I am not offended by your email. Having sex with your partner is normal, healthy and natural for a relationship. Now having sex with yourself is a differnt story. haha see u at push
That is incredible. I always said you are my man. Maybe it is my T level that has been so screwed up for the past couple of years or else it is just Pat. Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!! Gonna get tested.
