Testosterone Is At Historically Low Levels. Should You Care?
Testosterone is a key hormone for men to maintain energy, vitality, strength and overall well-being. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline 1-2% every year, which can lead to a host of issues like decreased energy, reduced motivation, weight gain, and diminished performance in life and in the bedroom.
To make matters worse, research show that total testosterone levels are 20-22% lower today than they were in 1999* in young men. Another study observed consistent testosterone level decline in American men from 1987 to 2004, suggesting more recent generations of men have lower T levels than their fathers.
But the good news here is that your health is in your hands. If you’re willing to make simple lifestyle changes and supplement properly, you can maintain healthy testosterone levels and improve your quality of life. Read on to learn how.
So What Happened to Men in the Last 20+ Years?
Obesity & Sedentary Lifestyle
Increased body mass index (BMI) and reduced physical activity are strongly associated with lower testosterone levels in men.**
Environmental Exposures
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics, pesticides and products with BPA (Bisphenol A) or PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) can negatively impact testosterone levels.**
Chronic Health Conditions
Conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and hypertension are linked to reduced testosterone levels.**

Four Ways for Men to Improve Their Testosterone
1. Manage Your Stress
High stress is one of the biggest killers of testosterone production. When you’re constantly stressed, your body produces more cortisol, (the stress hormone) which lowers your body’s ability to produce testosterone, dropping your “T” levels over time.
Elevated cortisol levels also impact your mood, energy and well-being.
Tips
- Take adaptogenic supplements like M Drive that help balance cortisol so your body can make more testosterone again, naturally
2. Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity plays a crucial role in boosting testosterone levels. Working out leads to muscle growth and fat loss, both of which support healthier testosterone levels.
Compound weight lifts especially, like back squats, deadlifts and bench press, are shown to naturally improve your testosterone levels.
Tips
- Strength train 3-4 times every week
- Don’t overdo it, and be sure to recover enough between workouts
3. Eat a Healthy Diet
What you eat can have a huge impact on your testosterone levels. A balanced diet supports normal hormone production by ensuring your body has the nutrients it needs to maintain healthy testosterone levels.
Prioritizing protein, healthy fats, zinc and vitamin D is the best way to help your body maintain normal testosterone levels. Oh, and minimize processed foods and refined sugars.
Tips
- Eat whole foods like lean proteins, vegetables & whole grains
- Limit alcohol while maintaining hydration every day
4. Get Enough Sleep
Testosterone production occurs during the REM cycle, particularly in the morning hours. Without enough REM sleep, your body won’t have the chance to produce adequate levels of testosterone.
Sleep is also when your body recovers and repairs itself from the day’s stress: work, exercise, mental strain.
Tips
- Go to bed and get up at similar times, even on weekends
- Limit screen time starting 1 hour before you hit the hay
