4 Ways To Naturally Support Detoxification (and Testosterone Levels!)
We've been talking a lot about detoxification this month. But for good reason - it's one of the most important variables for sex hormones, including testosterone, but it doesn't get talked about.
Why?
Maybe because you can’t see them. You can’t smell most of them. But every single day, they’re changing how your hormones work.
These toxins, known as xenoestrogens, contribute to several common challenges, including: testosterone levels, age of puberty, fertility, body fat, and more.
The Hidden Hormone Disruptors: Xenoestrogens
“Xenoestrogens” are chemicals that mimic estrogen once they’re inside the body. You’ll find them in plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products, food packaging, and even receipts. We discussed the 8 most common ones in our previous newsletter.
Support Testosterone With atplab's Aromatek
Aromatek combats these toxins with ingredients like Bioresponse DIM - which is shown in research to optimize estrogen metabolism (and therefore support T levels). Aromatek also powerfully regulates the 'testosterone stealing enzyme' known as aromatase - which is even more active when we carry higher amounts of xenoestrogens in our body.
4 Ways to Get Rid of These Toxins (And Support Testosterone Levels!)
-
Sweat Often
Exercise and sauna cause the release of toxins stored in fat tissue, this creates an opportunity to excrete them from the body. -
Eat (and Drink) Organic Greens & Reds Daily
Most toxins are acidic, and therefore won't be excreted from your body if your urine is also acidic ("opposites attract"). Greens promote a more alkaline urine - a key factor for toxin elimination. -
Get Enough Fiber
Fiber binds to bile (which carries toxins) and makes sure they actually leave the body, rather than being reabsorbed via enterohepatic recirculation. -
Support with Essential Micronutrients
Supplements like atp labs omega-3 triglyceride, organic certified greens + reds, and PrebioFib all help optimize detox pathways and therefore testosterone levels!
