6 tips every man should be doing to maximize their testosterone and recovery.

--Thread--
Many people are using the phrase ‘self-care’ these days.

It’s popular amongst women. A day at the spa, a brunch with the girls etc…

We don’t hear the term ‘masculine self-care’ nearly as often.
However, it’s more important than ever for men to take care of their mind and their bodies. 

Masculinity is facing a crisis. Many men struggle with unspoken mental health issues. They neglect their bodies and appearance.

The good news?

You can turn this around in 24 hours.
That’s where the ‘6S’ program comes in.

This is a series of 6 steps for men over a course of 24 hours to reset your mind and body.

Ready to take back control? Let’s jump in.
1. Sports

Sports have an immense effect on our mental health, as well as our physical health.

You could:

Play sports, hit the gym, go for a hike.

Just make sure you do an intense period of exercise. 

Get the blood flowing to your brain. Get your testosterone levels pumping.
2. Sunlight

We spend more time indoors than ever now. So many people are Vitamin-D deficient.

Make sure you spend time outdoors today. 

Expose multiple parts of your body to direct sunlight to maximize Vit-D exposure.

Also, sun your sack. Trust me.
3. Swedish massage

Get a massage. You’ll thank me later.

Get rid of any stigma that they’re only for women.

Go for 90 minutes to ensure your muscles are fully relaxed and lymphs fully drained.

If you’re already quite active, consider a deep tissue massage instead.
4. Sauna

Saunas possess immense health benefits:

- Sweats out toxins
- Reduced stress levels
- Better blood circulation
- Improved immune function

Normally, toxins and estrogens build up in your fat cells, where they become hard to remove.

15 minutes in the sauna can help.
5. Steak

Grass-fed. Free of antibiotics. Good, old-fashioned steak.

It’s full of protein and iron, which are essential to help build muscle and improve brain function.
Pair steak with a cruciferous vegetable (broccoli, cabbage) and a fermented food (sauerkraut, kimchi) for maximum nutritional reset.
6. Sleep

Arguably, the most important step.

To finish this day:

- Sleep in a pitch black room
- Keep all electronic devices outside
- Disable WiFi if it is near to your room

And, most importantly…

Don't set an alarm.

Let your body fully recover for the next day.
This 6S guide takes 24 hours.

If you follow the 6 steps, you will feel like a renewed man the day after.

I recommend following this guide at least once a month. If you can afford to do it more regularly, this will only help you.

Keep crushing it, men.
