00:00Hey doctor, I've been feeling really off lately.
00:04Low energy, low sex drive, and I've even noticed some muscle loss.
00:09Do you think it could be low testosterone?
00:13It's possible.
00:15Testosterone is crucial for men, affecting not just sex drive, but also sperm production,
00:20muscle mass, brain function, and overall behavior.
00:24Have you had your levels checked?
00:27Not yet.
00:28I've read about supplements and medications.
00:31Do you recommend them?
00:33I'm not a fan of those.
00:35When you introduce testosterone externally, your body stops producing it naturally.
00:41So when you stop taking the supplements, your body struggles even more to produce testosterone,
00:46leading to more issues.
00:48That makes sense.
00:50So what should I do?
00:52It's critical to preserve testosterone production at its natural level.
00:57To increase testosterone naturally, there's several methods.
01:01For example, did you know that onions have a strong testosterone boosting effect?
01:06Onions?
01:07Really?
01:09How does that work?
01:11It is fascinating, really.
01:13Quercetin, a substance found in onions, increases the brain's production of the hormone luteinizing
01:19hormone, LH.
01:21Afterwards, LH boosts the synthesis of testosterone.
01:25Rats used in studies had increases in testosterone of 20% to 60% following a few weeks of onion
01:31juice consumption.
01:33Wow, I didn't know that.
01:37Are there any other benefits of eating onions?
01:40Indeed.
01:41Because of their antioxidant qualities, onions can stop cell death, enhance sperm quality,
01:47and raise nitric oxide levels.
01:50By widening blood arteries, nitric oxide promotes heart health and aids with erectile
01:55dysfunction.
01:56Via stimulating 5-foot amp-activated protein kinase, AMPK, onions also have anti-cancer
02:03effects via lowering cell death.
02:06That's impressive.
02:08So how should I consume onions to get these benefits?
02:12Cooked or raw?
02:14You should eat them raw in salads because cooking reduces their quercetin content.
02:19Cutting or crushing onions releases a compound that makes you tear up, but that's what makes
02:23them effective.
02:25But what about onion breath?
02:28That's a big downside.
02:30To prevent onion breath, you can brush your teeth, chew peppermint, or gargle with warm
02:34water and lemon.
02:37How much onion should I eat to see these benefits?
02:40Including a raw onion in your daily salad will increase your testosterone levels dramatically.
02:46It's simpler to keep naturally elevated levels of testosterone from an early age than to
02:50increase them once they've dropped.
02:53Thanks, Doc.
02:55I'll definitely start adding raw onions to my diet.
02:59Any other tips?
03:00Yes, stay active, get enough sleep, and manage stress.
03:05These lifestyle changes can also help maintain healthy testosterone levels.
03:10And remember, natural methods are always better in the long run.
03:15Thanks for the advice.
03:17I really appreciate it.
03:19Anytime.
03:21If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
03:24And remember, consistency is key.
03:27Take care.
