Most men over 40 don’t need Hormone Replacement Therapy

What you will learn today

• Strategy: Upgrade your father figure

• Tactic: Release the brakes on your hormones

• Habits: Hidden moves that boost your testosterone

Hi amigos,

5 years ago, I sat in an endocrinologist office in Sharjah, completely blindsided by the words I was hearing. "You’ll have a hard time if you ever want to have kids,".

I felt a wave of frustration, and fear wash over me. My wife was holding my hand, supportive yet sinking into disbelief herself.

I had always envisioned myself as a father—playing catch in the yard, and I remember always wanting a girl. At that moment, I’m still unsure how I managed to drive back to Dubai, I was in a state of rude shock.

Long story short, my first child was born in 2020, just two years after that meeting.

As a dad, you want to be there for your kids—not just physically, also energetically. But if you’re feeling drained, less energetic, or struggling with mental fog, low testosterone might be the reason.

Many men think hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the solution, but here’s the good news: most don’t need it.

I was on it—big mistake. It wasn’t easy, but over 4 years, I fine-tuned my strategy and daily habits to a T, allowing me to come off the therapy.

Here’s the 3-step plan I used to naturally boost my testosterone, so you can show up as the dad your kids need.

Step 1: Antagonistic Training

Why it Matters:
Antagonistic training is one of the most effective ways to build muscle and naturally increase testosterone.

The Strategy:
As a dad, being physically active isn’t just about staying fit—it’s about being present and engaged in your kids’ lives.

Actionable Tip:
Start with three 40-minute strength training sessions per week, focusing on antagonistic movements. These exercises stimulate testosterone production and build strength while skyrocketing your metabolism.

Step 2: Get Enough REM and NREM Sleep

Why it Matters:
Testosterone production happens during sleep, and poor sleep can cause your levels to drop by up to 15% in just one week. As a dad, sleep isn’t just about rest—it’s about recharging through both sleep phases so you can give your best to your family.

The Strategy:
Well-rested dads are more patient, present, and compassionate, and better able to handle the emotional and physical demands of fatherhood.

Actionable Tip:
Lower your bedroom temperature to 65°F and establish a wind-down routine 30 minutes before bed—such as a warm shower. Warm water helps your core and brain temperatures drop, which is necessary to fall asleep.

Step 3: Eat for Testosterone

Why it Matters:
The foods you eat play a huge role in testosterone production. Processed foods and sugar can lower testosterone, while healthy fats and protein-rich foods help boost it.

The Strategy:
As a father, you’re not just feeding yourself—you’re also modeling habits for your kids. By eating the right foods, you’ll not only boost your testosterone but also show your children the importance of nourishing their bodies.

Actionable Tip:
Incorporate more healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) and high-quality proteins (eggs, salmon, lean meats) into your meals.

Conclusion: Don’t Survive, Thrive

Been there, done that. I’m not telling you this from a textbook but through lived experience.

I received this from my client Sunjit, who recently moved to the US. He’s been with me for 6 months, and thanks to him—and to each and every one of you reading this—for filling my life with purpose.

Others would charge you for advice like this, but I guarantee that everything you need to feel, look, and perform at your peak as a busy executive is right here. Stick around—you’ve found home.

With that said, have a lovely weekend amigo.
