#how to increase testosterone levels quickly

[mleprae]

I brought this up a few times, but one of my leprosy tidbits that fascinates me is how it affects mood and libido. Good chunk of some christian faiths didn't take kindly to leprosy, which may be rooted how many skin diseases were associated with terrible sins at the time, mostly sexual, a lot of texts we have of those specific parts were painting victims in a terrible light.

Especifically how leprosy turned people into monstrous violent rapists, those descriptions where mostly ignored by modern medicine researchers, because it obviously came from a group who didn't have the best intentions in mind.

Except that, the same description kept showing up in several texts, from different times, cultures, places, my favorite one has to be from a byzantinum physician who put it "A raging desire of Aphrodite, and a spontaneous periods of weakness." // "Lepers are especially desirous and burn for intercourse, then feel themselves weaker than normal." And at what point do you get so many descriptions of the same thing and go "Maybe we should investigate?" Because no one did, for hundreds of years!!!

And turns out... turns out... they were right!!! All along!!! Because you see, because leprosy is a dynamic disease, symptoms can get worse or better really quickly. One of the sites of predilection for leprosy is the testicles, so SURELY. SURELY. *grabs you by the shoulders* it affected testosterone production?!? *starts violently shaking you* the hormone that increases your libido and gives you mood swings??!? WHY DID NO ONE CHECK SOONER

Leprosy can "block" the production of testosterone, and because the body is a Beautiful Machine, it starts producing more LH, which stimulates the production of sex hormones, but because the way is blocked, the LH accumulates. When leprosy "relapses" all of these LH that have been building up, rapidly turn into T, causing mood swings, increased sexual desire, this peaks way more than normal T levels for the average person. I'm not sure why it causes people to be tired after that peak, maybe it takes a toll on the body, or that the hormonal levels stabilize right after which is lower than the peak. Either way, Messed. Up.

Slightly late monthly journal!

First off, the spreadsheet has been updated:

Nothing too drastic here, especially compared to my initial growth spurt. But still… there’s so much, yet so little to talk about.

I’ve been on spiro for a longer time now, and recently increased my estradiol dose. Note that my levels check was before the increased dose- the dates aren’t completely coordinated (they are on my private spreadsheet for my own personal tracking, don’t worry). It’s looking pretty good. Testosterone is well within target levels. E is about the same, which is much lower than I would like it. My endo says that 100-200 is “minimally acceptable”, and wants to shoot even higher than that. That’s comforting, in a way- I’m the slightest bit frustrated that some changes aren’t happening too quickly, but that gives a very distinct avenue for improvement. Ultimately, I’m gonna switch to injection monotherapy, probably around the same time I start prog. So the big change is decreased T. What has that done to me?

First off, the hard measurements. There’s really no surprises here. I’m losing weight, which tracks with my general diet and an increase in exercise levels. It seems to be happening faster than normal, though. Which, is pretty easily explainable by a new variable in the equation: adderall. I started adderall in the middle of the month. I’ve used it sparingly, but everyone I know that takes it told me that weight loss is pretty much unavoidable. I’m certainly still above any point where my weight would be worrying, but I’m gonna have to keep an eye on it. Especially if I want fat tits. As for how the weight loss is happening, I’m very happy with what’s going on. My bust and hip measurements are holding steady, while my waist and underbust are still slightly going down. 

I do know that there’s another source of weight loss, however: muscle mass. With the increase in exercise level has come an increase in exertion for the same results, which has made me slightly dismayed. This is the main HRT effect that I was a little scared of. But honestly, I really only care about the muscle that helps me hike and swim- and if I maintain that better, I think it won’t be too much of an issue. I was never some pariah of physical condition, so I think with training I can even improve my hiking stamina. That’ll be very necessary with my future backpacking plans.

The main thing that I’m REALLY happy about is that, if I squint, I think I can slowly start to see the first hints of facial changes start to come in. They’re subtle, of course. A weird one is that my nose is literally straighter. Y’all don’t see it, but the reason I still shield my face (despite being easily identifiable at this point if you saw me irl and knew this account) is mostly insecurity about my nose and chin. My nose actually physically curves to my right when viewed from the front, and in general, is a huge, classic Roman nose. Looking at head on progress pictures, its actually starting to straighten out. I thought I was imagining things, but I checked in with a couple friends before and after pictures of several years on HRT, and yeah- their noses are different, usually smaller and more symmetrical. Saying that this is a huge relief to me would be an understatement. Additionally, I was insecure about my boxy jawline, but for some reason, it seems to work as a femme feature of my face now- I think slight cheek restructuring helps frame it better. Still not so sure how the chin is gonna turn out. But hey- I started HRT thinking that I would for sure need FFS to pass, but now, I'm far less concerned. I'll at least give it two years.

I’ve also gotten a lot of interesting comments. Several labmates and family members that don’t know I’m transitioning have remarked that my skin looks healthier, and I look younger. I’ve also had noticeable mental health improvement, so I think most people think I’m on some kind of self improvement kick. I mentioned skin care as part of that. We’ll see how long the excuse holds- probably a while, as the changes are so, so subtle at the moment. But shit, I’m only three months in. I’m thrilled.

There’s still no getting rid of my beard shadow. Even though the growth rate of my facial hair has noticeably decreased, the thickness of the basal hairs will always add shading to my face. When I started HRT, I thought it wouldn’t bother me that much until I was ready to socially transition- but tbh, it’s starting to look glaring to me. I’m looking into starting laser sometime in January, and hopefully that’ll help.

Which brings me to the emotional changes. Holy FUCK what a month its been. I’m not gonna expose all of my dirty laundry. But, a mixture of some long term anxieties and a few particular events led to a classic mid-20s “what the fuck am I doing with my life” crisis. One of those long term anxieties was a thought I’m sure many of y’all are familiar with: “I started HRT. Now what? How the fuck am I going to socially transition?”

For a couple days, I was very seriously considering quitting grad school and academia. I’m past that. Tragically, I love science a little too much. I do, however, need a break. I talked to my advisor about taking a hiatus, and he’s fully supportive of the idea. And conveniently, that also provides me with a clean way to simply disappear, and come back as a woman. A nice little break to allow me to socially transition.

But anyways. Here’s my big point here: if I went through something similar pre-HRT, I would’ve reacted completely differently. I would’ve shoved those thoughts deep and let them simmer as a general, background malaise that I would just stew in and suffer. Now? I cried. A lot. Actual fucking tears. I went through a few days of sharp sadness, and then actually fucking processed those emotions. What the fuck? That’s new. It’s insane. I wouldn’t have had the emotional capacity to that before. 

I’m elated. It’s wonderful. It’s a more than welcome change.

But yeah. Steady as she goes. Progress is a little stalled, but both me and my provider are adamant about getting that E up. And I’m still making slow progress as it is.

Very quick NSFW notes after this button.

The final note: sexual function. With the low T… yup, my downstairs functionality has decreased. My ejaculate is clear, and often happens without being fully erect. That said… there’s no way in hell that I would ever trade getting that back for what I have now. My libido is still comes in waves, and is crazy when it comes. The feelings I get from intimate situations now are incredible beyond belief.

Watching how quickly the world turned against Imane Khelif was truly disturbing to watch. It's so fascinating how people are so quick to try and figure out what her genitals are because a white woman sobbed over a punch in a boxing competition.

People go on about high testosterone levels and that it gives someone an advantage, The thing is, thats almost quite literally what a sport is about. You get stronger and better at an activity and it truly depends on your biological advantage. It decides how quickly you can get better at something and if you’re simply born physically stronger.

Imane Khelif was not proven to have XY chromosomes and even then it would not make her less of a woman. It’s odd that non-white women are consistently being accused of being men simply for what? Because their genetics cause them to be hairier? have high testosterone levels? look more “masculine”?

Regardless, instead of being disrespectful to women with Swyer’s Syndrome we could be spreading sympathy and awareness for Women with Swyer's Syndrome. These women typically have to take hormone replacement therapy during early adolescence to even be able to start puberty. It's also important for them to take HRT to reduce the chance of osteopenia and osteoporosis. They also have an increased risk for cancer since their ovaries are replaced with tissue.

Also, the fact they have to go through a whole process of getting an egg or embryo donated if they want to have a child.

What benefits/ changes to biology would a Time Lord loomed into House Mirraflex get?

What benefits/changes to biology would a Time Lord loomed into House Mirraflex get?

House Mirraflex isn’t just any Gallifreyan lineage; it’s the cradle of some of the planet's finest military minds and warriors. Being loomed into this House means more than inheriting a legacy of valour and strategic genius; it implies a series of remarkable biological enhancements designed to complement their martial prowess.

🚀 Enhanced Combat Responses: Mirraflex members likely boast an enhanced adrenal system, providing rapid physiological responses ideal for combat scenarios. This biological tweak means quicker reflexes, heightened strength during stress, and an accelerated healing process that’s rather useful on the battlefield.

🧠 Strategic Genius: An advanced prefrontal cortex could underpin their legendary strategic acumen. This enhanced brain region facilitates complex decision-making and tactical thinking, making Mirraflex Time Lords natural leaders and strategists in any conflict.

🛡️ Emotional Suppression for Tactical Advantage: Military life demands tough choices. Emotional regulation mechanisms within Mirraflex Time Lords may suppress empathy to prioritise pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, decision-making. This makes them appear very cold-hearted, but it gets the job done.

🔭 Superior Situational Awareness: Heightened sensory integration might give them superior situational awareness. Mirraflex members could process and synthesise sensory information rapidly and accurately, a crucial ability in the chaos of combat, ensuring they’re always a step ahead.

🐅 Aggression and Physicality: Elevated levels of aggression-associated hormones like testosterone may not only enhance their physical capabilities but also their assertiveness and dominance, crucial traits for those leading the charge into battle.

📚 Quick Recall and Learning: An expanded hippocampus could support quickly and accurately recalling military knowledge and tactics. Mirraflex Time Lords could draw upon a deep well of experience and learning when crafting their battle strategies or navigating complex geopolitical landscapes.

🩹 Enhanced Pain Tolerance: Finally, increased pain tolerance probably enables Mirraflex Time Lords to endure injuries that would incapacitate others. This trait ensures they can continue fighting or strategising despite suffering wounds or under duress of torture.

Blu-ray Review: Unlawful Entry

Box office draw is anything but predictable, but Hollywood sure likes to hedge its bets. From Scream's teen slasher revival to Paranormal Activity's found footage trend to Marvel's superhero craze, a novel concept that over-performs is almost guaranteed to yield similar projects until audiences tire of the fad. Fatal Attraction launched a cycle of racy thrillers in the early '90s that included the likes of Basic Instinct, Single White Female, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Sleeping with the Enemy, and Cape Fear.

While not as well remembered as the aforementioned efforts, Unlawful Entry remains an effective entry in the subgenre from journeyman director Jonathan Kaplan (The Accused, ER). Lewis Colick's (October Sky, Charlie St. Cloud) script may traverse familiar tropes, but Kurt Russell (The Thing), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas), and Madeleine Stowe (12 Monkeys) gracefully elevate the material with their performances.

Bookended by tense home invasion sequences, the 1992 film opens with a burglar breaking into the upscale home of recent Los Angeles transplants Michael (Russell) and Karen Carr (Stowe). Although ultimately unharmed, they're left shaken up by the ordeal after Michael is forced to watch helplessly as the assailant holds Karen at knifepoint. Responding officer Pete Davis (Liotta) goes out of his way to help them feel safer.

Pete presents himself as the sincere lawman at first, but it quickly becomes clear to both the viewer and Michael that he's unhinged. He grows increasingly obsessed with Karen, invading not only the couple's home but also their lives as he does everything in his considerable power to take Michael out of the picture. The third act is exactly the suspenseful thrill-ride you'd want from a movie of this ilk.

While a lesser film would pit Russell and Liotta against one another in a testosterone-fueled stand-off, Unlawful Entry takes a more interesting approach. Although their conflict is not without machismo, their personalities repel one another on a granular level. Beyond coveting his wife, Pete has no respect for Michael. In Pete's mind, he is the alpha male getting his hands dirty and protecting the streets, so he deserves Michael's prosperous life.

Liotta is effectively disarming at first before unraveling into a deranged stalker. Russell is as charming as ever, but he's not afraid to show vulnerability. Stowe brings a cleverness to the damsel in distress. The cast also includes Roger E. Mosley (Magnum P.I.) as Pete's level-headed partner, Ken Lerner (The Goldbergs) as Michael's lawyer, Dick Miller (Gremlins) as an impound clerk, and a young Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy) as a prisoner.

Unlawful Entry is now invading homes on Blu-ray via Scream Factory exclusively on ShoutFactory.com. While the company's limited releases are typically reserved for titles with a more narrow appeal, Unlawful Entry's allotment of 1,620 units sold out in a matter of days, prompting them to increase the run to 2,600 (which brings into question the point of limiting it in the first place, but I digress).

The film is presented in high definition from an existing transfer with 5.1 Surround DTS-HD Master Audio and 2.0 Stereo DTS-HD Master Audio options. The quality is aggressively fine; it certainly won't win any competitions against a modern 4K master, but it's a welcome improvement over the old DVD.

Despite its limited status, new special features were produced: a 28-minute interview Kaplan, who sets the stage by highlighting his genre-hopping career before focusing on Unlawful Entry; an interview with cinematographer Jamie Anderson��(Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Small Soldiers); and an featurette in which music historian Daniel Schweiger breaks down the score by James Horner (Aliens, Avatar).

Archival special features include: a DVD commentary by Kaplan, who notes how he learned how to reflect the subjectivity of human experience in film by watching Alfred Hitchcock and details how the Rodney King riots impacted the movie; a vintage EPK-style featurette with snippets from Kaplan, Russell, Liotta, Stowe, and more; the theatrical trailer; and two TV spots.

In a time when police misconduct is caught on camera on a near-daily basis, Unlawful Entry is all the more relevant over 30 years removed from its original release. Coupled with a severely underrated performance from the late Liotta, the '90s thriller gem begging for rediscovery.

Unlawful Entry is available now on Blu-ray via Scream Factory.

The ABCs of Hormones

How They Affect Our Mood and Health

Hey friends! Today, let's dive into something that often stays behind the scenes but affects us every single day. Yep, I'm talking about hormones! These tiny chemical substances act as invisible conductors, regulating our mood and emotional state. Let's explore the world of hormones letter by letter, to see which hormones are responsible for our happiness, stress, motivation, and even sluggishness—and most importantly, how to keep them balanced so that life is brighter and more fulfilling.

Hormones That Control Our Mood

A — Adrenaline Adrenaline is the "fight or flight" hormone. It kicks in during stressful situations, giving us the energy to react quickly. This hormone helps us deal with critical moments, improving physical endurance and focus. But be careful—too much adrenaline over time can lead to anxiety.

V — Vasopressin Vasopressin regulates water balance in our body and affects blood pressure. If this hormone drops, we may feel tired and less focused. Maintaining good hydration is important for overall well-being.

G — Ghrelin Ghrelin is known as the "hunger hormone." It signals your brain when it's time to eat. When you're feeling intense hunger, you can thank ghrelin for that. To keep it in check, eat regularly and avoid long gaps between meals.

D — Dopamine Dopamine is the "pleasure hormone." It’s responsible for motivation and rewards. Whenever you feel incredibly inspired or like you can conquer the world, it's probably thanks to dopamine. To keep dopamine levels up, try new hobbies, exercise, and celebrate even the smallest victories. Even watching motivational videos can give your brain a dopamine boost.

E — Estrogen Estrogen is the primary female hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and affects mood. Fluctuations in estrogen levels can cause mood swings, especially during the premenstrual period. Healthy eating and physical activity help stabilize these fluctuations and maintain balance.

M — Maturity (Testosterone) Testosterone is the "hormone of maturity," especially important for men. It’s responsible for libido, muscle mass, and confidence. Testosterone levels also affect energy and motivation. Exercise and a proper diet help maintain it at a healthy level.

I — Insulin Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. It allows glucose to enter cells and be used for energy. Balancing insulin is key for maintaining stable energy levels and preventing diabetes. Avoiding sugary foods and fast food is a good way to keep insulin levels in check.

C — Cortisol Cortisol is the "stress hormone." It helps the body cope with critical situations, but chronic stress keeps cortisol levels high, leading to fatigue and depression. Meditation, rest, and physical activity are good ways to manage cortisol.

M — Melatonin Melatonin is the sleep hormone, helping us fall asleep and regulating our internal clock. Its level rises in the dark, promoting a restful sleep. To maintain melatonin levels, avoid bright light in the evening and try to go to bed at the same time every night.

O — Oxytocin Oxytocin is the "love and bonding hormone." It’s released when we hug, show affection, or spend time with loved ones. High oxytocin levels help us feel happier and more connected. Hug your loved ones and express affection—it’s a simple and effective way to boost this hormone.

S — Serotonin Serotonin is the "happiness hormone." It regulates mood, sleep, and appetite. Low serotonin levels are often associated with depression and anxiety. To increase serotonin, eat foods rich in tryptophan like bananas, nuts, and dark chocolate, and spend more time in the sunlight.

T — Thyroxine Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism. Its imbalance can lead to weight issues and energy problems. Eating enough iodine (like seaweed) and maintaining a healthy lifestyle support normal thyroxine levels.

P — Phenylethylamine Phenylethylamine is often called the "love hormone." It’s released when we feel romantic attraction and helps boost dopamine, adding those wonderful feelings of love and excitement.

Conclusion

That's our ABCs of hormones! It seems like so many little conductors are controlling our mood and health that it can make your head spin. But don't worry! In the next article, we'll talk about what influences hormonal balance and how to keep it in check, so your hormones can be your best friends. Give us a like and stay tuned!

10 months on T Review tm

- the acne thing has almost completely missed me. the only time it flares up is when my body "wants" to be in its cycle every few months, which i know by the back pain, cramps and headaches - but so far i've only had two actual cycles since starting and while yes they were painful they were short-lived. - my body temperature is definitely higher. i can tolerate the cold much better and find myself getting hot quicker than before? - my voice is so much lower than it was! so much so that on the odd occasion where people at first call me she, they quickly change to he after i say something to them. I'm getting a lot of "buddy" and "pal" at the moment actually. win? - muscle mass. it's not so obvious until i FlEx but it's absolutely gone up. recently i was able to lift 33kg when i weigh 37kg. madness??? i look unassuming outwardly but i'm much stronger when i apply myself to something. - facial hair is a thing. people keep telling me to shave. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - not sure if this is just some kind of blip but thought it would be interesting to note: tattoo healing??? all of my other tattoos that i got pre-T would swell MASSIVELY and sting for days. my latest one, from 2 days ago actually, hasn't swollen up nearly as much and i'm not getting any random stinging like i normally would. i know higher testosterone is linked to good wound healing so maybe it's related, maybe not, but tattoos that i have in the same place (just on the other arm) behaved so differently. - interestingly before starting T i was very prone to migraine with aura. a side effect often stated is increase in migraines and… actually i find that i've experienced the opposite! while i do still get headaches and migraines (at work mostly due to dehydration/stress rip) they're so much less common in my day-to-day life. i also haven't had a migraine with aura since starting.

- emotions. whooo boy okay. confounding factors are c-ptsd and did. as a whole things are much more positive! my emotions are level most of the time which is really good as someone who's prone to depression, and i find myself enjoying things much more. HOWEVER. this also means that i struggle to identify when something is Wrong. am i behaving this way because of depression? anxiety? who knows because i can't feel those things in the same way as before. i have a new lexicon of Feelings to navigate and i'm still learning how to verbalize it. it's more difficult to articulate what i feel and why - uhhhh trans swag. - T hasn't stopped me from being british. sorry. send post

Periods, the menstrual cycle and how that could affect your diet and training.

I like many personal trainers, I had no idea how the menstrual cycle could affect strength and endurance training until I took the time to do some research and develop a better understanding of how utilising your cycle to maximise your training can greatly impact results and consistency. 

Now, this information won't be tailored to everyone, as everyone who experiences a menstrual cycle has a different experience. But if we were to assume that the average cycle is 28 days long, the first two weeks is the follicular phase and the latter two weeks is the luteal phase, with ovulation occurring around day 14. 

Estrogen for a long time got a bad wrap when it came to strength training, but it's actually a fantastic hormone. The first two weeks of your cycle, the follicular phase, are going to be some of your best weeks in relation to training. 

Around the time of ovulation you will probably see and increase in performance. You may be able to maintain a more consistent cardiac output during hiit sessions without feeling fatigue as quickly and those personal best during those compound/complex movements such as our bench press, back squat and deadlifts, may be higher. There are a few hormonal changes during this phase, including an increase in testosterone at ovulation which impact our ability to train more efficiently. 

The latter half of your cycle, the luteal phase, is where some women experience premenstrual syndrome. (PMS) For some it can be crippling, it can bring on bouts of depression, cause fatigue and irritability. For others, they're okay. 

From a training perspective in relation to our luteal phase, coordination can go out the window– those unilateral movements can be a bit tricky and we can sometimes experience a decrease in strength. 

During our luteal phase there's also an increase in our metabolic rate. Our requirements for energy increase but most of us don’t make those allowances during dieting protocols, which leads to falling off the wagon. 

So what considerations should we make when we’re trying to optimise our training routine in relation to our cycles? Below are some tips: 

➡️ The first two weeks (Follicular phase) Aim for those personal bests. Your strength will be at its most optimal level and you can utilise this to your advantage by pushing a little harder, lifting heavy and working to max capacity. 

➡️ After ovulation, during that Luteal phase, it may be applicable to do more volume training in terms of reps instead of going for those five RM’s. Lighten the load to something that is maintainable, work on form and time under tension. 

➡️ From a dieting perspective, incorporate extra foods that won’t blow your caloric intake. Things that are possibly low (or high depending on your goals) calorie, high protein, or fruit that will help to reduce those sweet cravings we all know about. 

The more that we can understand the fluctuations and differences in training and dieting, the more we can better define our relationships with our bodies.

Gomad diet: an intelligent method to gain weight?

There are many experts who claim that the GOMAD diet is the perfect option to gain weight quickly, even to equate it with other more extreme methods to gain muscle. This is the reason that has led many people to go on this diet. The GOMAD diet (acronym for gallon of milk a day) is based on drinking 4 liters of milk a day as a mechanism to obtain proteins and fats easily. This amount of milk contains about 128 g of protein and just over 2,300 calories, so it is perfect to increase the intake of calories and protein. Even though this diet can definitely help you gain weight more quickly, is it the smartest way to gain weight? Should you implement it? Leanbiome Secrets

Definitive guide to the GOMAD diet

1. How to know if this diet is right for me?

If all you want is to gain weight in any way, the GOMAD diet can work. This involves consuming a large amount of calories and protein by ingesting plenty of milk. However, if your goal is to gain a lot of muscle and little fat without adverse effects, then this diet is probably not for you.

2. Is the GOMAD diet the best option to gain weight?

Apparently, it is not the best option. The ideal is to consume some food, which includes proteins to gain muscle effectively , although we know that it is easier said than done for many people, because sometimes they do not have the natural appetite to eat enough calories through others foods.

In this sense, this diet has become for some a good option to gain weight and muscles without having to depend on the intake of other foods.

3. What are the main myths of the GOMAD diet?

3.1 The macronutrients in milk are the best for building muscle.

The macronutrients of milk are fairly balanced, so it is sure that it gives you proteins, carbohydrates and fats in relatively equal proportions; However, so do other foods.

3.2 Milk contains the best type of protein to gain muscle

The milk protein has approximately 80% casein and 20% whey, which are fantastic sources of protein to be well absorbed and contain high amounts of essential amino acids, vital for muscle growth. In addition, studies have shown that milk is a good choice as a post-workout food, and therefore very good for muscle building. However, what you may not know is that you can get the same benefits with other types of proteins; such as those of animal origin that most of us like to eat, such as meats, eggs and other dairy products. This type of protein is also digested and absorbed very well in the body and is rich in amino acids.

3.3 Saturated fats in milk increase testosterone levels

At this time, high-fat diets are very popular, especially among young people looking to increase their testosterone levels. Since milk contains approximately 130 g of fat per 4 l, it becomes an easy alternative to acquire a large amount of fat.

However, the problem of acquiring all the saturated fat through milk lies in the following:

1.    Research shows that a high-fat diet can increase testosterone levels, but its effects are too small to significantly affect muscle building.

2.    A gallon of milk contains approximately 77 g of saturated fat, and consuming a lot of it can increase the risk of heart disease.

Therefore, a high-carbohydrate diet is more convenient for gaining muscle than a high-fat diet. Also, no one needs to ingest more than 100 g of fat per day to maintain a healthy endocrine system.

3.4 Milk raises insulin levels, accelerating muscle growth

Many people think that higher insulin production equals more muscle growth, and this is not exactly true. The insulin does not directly induce protein synthesis, so that does not help you gain muscle in the same way it does testosterone or even amino acids. It is true that milk has anti-catabolic properties , which reduces the rates of muscle degradation and creates a more anabolic environment in the body. However, you do not need much insulin to achieve these effects, because a small meal other than milk will provide similar benefits to your muscles that insulin offers.

4. What is the main problem with the GOMAD diet?

What is not right is the misconception of believing that you’re a little something is good, and then a lot should be better. Ideally, consume a varied amount of food to gain muscle effectively. This means eating a little more calories than you burn (10 to 15% above your total daily energy expenditure), because it will positively influence muscle building. Therefore, drinking more milk to achieve a couple of thousand more calories per day, in addition to your regular meals, is not a good muscle building strategy, unless you burn an extraordinary amount of energy every day.

5. How to gain muscle quickly without going to the GOMAD diet?

These recommendations presented below are a simple way to gain muscle:

5.1 Keep a slight excess of calories from 10 to 15%

This percentage of excess is recommended to gain muscle mass. With a surplus of 10 to 15% of the calories you burn each day, you can maximize muscle growth and minimize fat accumulation. Leanbiome Reviews

5.2 Obtain the necessary macronutrients for your body

The calorie count alone does not guarantee success when winning or losing weight . For this we must look at the macronutrients that you are acquiring through the diet in order to ensure an adequate body composition.

5.3 Learn how to make cheat foods intelligently

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is to have a couple of bingeings or tastes per week, with enough food to double or triple the increase in fat. The recommended thing instead is to learn to do it intelligently without negatively affecting your body.

5.4 Have realistic expectations when it comes to increasing your body weight

If you are a young rookie lifting weights, you may have to wait to gain muscle. In general, the first year you can gain from 9 to 12 kg of muscle. If you are a young girl, you can get approximately half of the previous amount.

In the second year, your goal is to win around the middle of the first year, and you can take it half again for the third year. Finally, do not expect to gain more than 1 to 2 kilograms of muscle annually after the third year. Leanbiome

Therefore, the construction of a great physicist requires time and there is no way to avoid it. To do so, it is suggested that you take a well-balanced diet with a well-designed training program.

Get rid of your man boobs quickly, naturally and permanently

Introduction

A. Definition of man boobs

Man boobs, also known as gynecomastia, is a condition where the breast tissue in men swells and becomes enlarged. It can affect one or both breasts, and can cause significant emotional distress and self-consciousness in men. Man boobs can occur in men of all ages, but it is more common in older men and those who are overweight.

B. Causes of man boobs

There are several reasons why men may develop man boobs. One of the main causes is hormonal imbalances, where the levels of testosterone and estrogen in the body are not in balance. Other factors that can contribute to man boobs include obesity, certain medications, medical conditions such as liver disease, and the use of anabolic steroids.

C. Overview of Gynetrex supplement

Gynetrex is a natural supplement that is specifically designed to help men reduce the size of their man boobs. It is made from a blend of natural ingredients that work together to balance hormones, boost metabolism, and reduce inflammation in the body. Gynetrex is an over-the-counter supplement that is available without a prescription.

II. Understanding Gynetrex

A. What is Gynetrex?

Gynetrex is a supplement that is made from a blend of natural ingredients, including green tea extract, turmeric, and chromium. It is designed to help men reduce the size of their man boobs by regulating hormone levels in the body, boosting metabolism, and reducing inflammation. Gynetrex is a safe and effective alternative to surgery or prescription medications.

B. How does it work?

Gynetrex works by targeting the root cause of gynecomastia, which is the overproduction of estrogen or hormonal imbalances. The supplement contains a blend of natural ingredients that have been shown to help reduce estrogen levels and boost testosterone levels in men.

One key ingredient in Gynetrex is DIM (diindolylmethane), which is found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. DIM helps to convert excess estrogen into a weaker form that is easier for the body to eliminate. This helps to restore hormonal balance and reduce the growth of breast tissue.

Another important ingredient in Gynetrex is Tribulus Terrestris, a plant extract that has been used for centuries to enhance male vitality and libido. It is also known to stimulate testosterone production, which can help to counteract the effects of estrogen on the body.

Other ingredients in Gynetrex include Zinc, which is essential for testosterone production, and Vitamin D, which has been shown to help reduce estrogen levels in men.

Overall, Gynetrex works by regulating hormones and reducing the amount of estrogen in the body, which helps to shrink breast tissue and prevent the development of man boobs. It also helps to increase testosterone levels, which can help to build lean muscle mass and reduce body fat.

How Gynetrex Helps in Getting Rid of Man Boobs

IV. Other Ways to Get Rid of Man Boobs

While Gynetrex can be a helpful tool in reducing man boobs, there are other ways to address this issue. Here are some additional strategies that can be effective:

A. Exercise

Exercise is an important part of any weight loss or body shaping plan. When it comes to getting rid of man boobs, there are two types of exercises that can be particularly helpful: cardiovascular and strength training.

Cardiovascular exercises

Cardiovascular exercises, also known as cardio, are those that get your heart rate up and your blood pumping. These exercises can help you burn calories and lose fat, which can help reduce the appearance of man boobs. Some examples of cardiovascular exercises include running, cycling, swimming, and rowing.

Strength training exercises

Strength training exercises can help you build muscle, which can also help reduce the appearance of man boobs. By building muscle in the chest and upper body, you can create a more defined and toned look. Some examples of strength training exercises that can be effective for reducing man boobs include push-ups, chest presses, and dumbbell flys.

3. Diet

Diet is another important factor in reducing man boobs. By making some changes to your diet, you can reduce overall body fat, which can help reduce the appearance of man boobs. Here are some dietary strategies to consider:

Foods to avoid

Processed foods: Processed foods are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. They can contribute to weight gain and overall poor health.

Sugary drinks: Sugary drinks like soda, juice, and energy drinks are high in calories and can contribute to weight gain.

Alcohol: Alcohol can increase estrogen levels in men, which can contribute to the development of man boobs.

Foods to include

Protein: Protein is important for building and repairing muscle. Good sources of protein include chicken, fish, eggs, and beans.

Vegetables: Vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients. They can help you feel full and satisfied while providing important vitamins and minerals.

Healthy fats: Healthy fats like those found in nuts, seeds, and avocados can help keep you feeling full and satisfied while providing important nutrients.

C. Lifestyle Changes

In addition to exercise and diet, there are some lifestyle changes that can help reduce the appearance of man boobs. Here are a few to consider:

Limiting alcohol intake

As mentioned earlier, alcohol can contribute to the development of man boobs by increasing estrogen levels in men. By limiting your alcohol intake, you can help reduce your risk.

Getting enough sleep

Getting enough sleep is important for overall health and can also help with weight loss. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help keep your body functioning at its best.

Managing stress

Stress can contribute to weight gain and poor health. By managing your stress levels through techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and exercise, you can help reduce your risk of developing man boobs.

C. Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes can also help reduce chest fat. Limiting alcohol intake and reducing stress through practices such as meditation or yoga can help lower cortisol levels, which can contribute to fat accumulation.

V. Combining Gynetrex with Other Strategies to Get Rid of Man Boobs

A. Why combine Gynetrex with other strategies?

Combining Gynetrex with exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes can help enhance its effectiveness in getting rid of man boobs. While Gynetrex can help lower estrogen levels and boost testosterone levels, lifestyle changes and exercise can help reduce overall body fat and build chest muscles.

B. Examples of how to combine Gynetrex with exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes

One example of how to combine Gynetrex with other strategies is to take Gynetrex before a strength training workout, followed by a protein-rich meal. This can help boost testosterone levels and provide the necessary nutrients for muscle growth. Additionally, incorporating cardiovascular exercises and reducing stress can further enhance the effectiveness of Gynetrex.

VI. The Safety of Gynetrex

A. Are there any side effects of Gynetrex?

Gynetrex is generally considered safe when taken as directed. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as stomach upset or headaches. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any new supplement.

B. Can anyone use Gynetrex?

Gynetrex is designed for adult men who are looking to reduce estrogen levels and boost testosterone levels. It is not recommended for women or individuals under 18 years of age.

C. How long should one use Gynetrex?

The length of time one should use Gynetrex can vary depending on individual needs and goals. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions and consult with a healthcare professional if using Gynetrex for an extended period of time.

VII. Conclusion

A. Recap of key points

Getting rid of man boobs can be achieved through a combination of exercise, diet, lifestyle changes, and supplements such as Gynetrex.

premature ejaculation treatment naturally

Premature Ejaculation Treatment Naturally: Effective Solutions for Lasting Results

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common issue that affects many men, leading to frustration and impacting relationships. While medical treatments can help, natural remedies offer effective and safe alternatives. If you're looking to manage or overcome PE using natural methods, there are several proven techniques that can improve sexual stamina, reduce anxiety, and restore confidence.

Understanding Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation occurs when ejaculation happens too quickly during sexual intercourse. It can occur due to physical, emotional, or psychological factors, such as stress, anxiety, or hormonal imbalances. Fortunately, several natural treatments can help men gain better control and improve sexual performance.

Natural Remedies for Premature Ejaculation

1. Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises are one of the most effective natural treatments for premature ejaculation. They strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which help control ejaculation and improve sexual function.

How to do: Contract the muscles used to stop urination, hold for 5 seconds, and release. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times per day.

2. Start-and-Stop Technique

This technique involves stopping sexual activity just before ejaculation and resuming once the sensation subsides. It allows men to control the urge to ejaculate and increase stamina over time.

How to do: During intercourse, pause when you feel the urge to ejaculate. Resume after the feeling has reduced, repeating this process until you're able to delay ejaculation longer.

3. Deep Breathing and Relaxation Techniques

Anxiety is a major contributor to premature ejaculation. Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing can help calm the mind and reduce anxiety, allowing for better control during sexual activity.

How to do: Take slow, deep breaths—inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale for 6 seconds. Practice this during sex to stay relaxed and delay ejaculation.

4. Herbal Remedies

Several herbs have been shown to enhance sexual health and stamina. These can be taken as supplements or consumed in teas.

Ashwagandha: Known for reducing stress and anxiety, which can help delay ejaculation.

Ginseng: Boosts energy levels, increases stamina, and improves blood flow to the genital area.

Horny Goat Weed: An aphrodisiac herb that may improve sexual function and prevent premature ejaculation.

Maca Root: A natural aphrodisiac that helps boost libido and improve endurance.

5. Dietary Adjustments

Certain foods can support sexual health and help control premature ejaculation. A balanced diet rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can improve stamina and overall sexual function.

Foods to Include:

Bananas: Rich in potassium, they help improve blood flow and regulate nerve function.

Nuts and Seeds: Packed with zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium to boost testosterone and improve sexual performance.

Dark Chocolate: Contains flavonoids that enhance blood circulation.

Spinach: High in magnesium, which can help improve blood flow to the sexual organs.

6. Massage with Natural Oils

Using natural oils like almond oil or sesame oil can improve blood circulation, relax muscles, and boost nerve strength, potentially helping to control premature ejaculation.

How to do: Warm a small amount of oil and gently massage it into the penis for 5-10 minutes daily.

7. Lifestyle Changes

Making a few lifestyle changes can also help manage premature ejaculation. Regular exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep are essential for improving overall sexual health.

Exercise: Regular physical activity improves blood circulation, enhances stamina, and helps with stress management.

Sleep: Ensure adequate rest each night, as poor sleep can contribute to hormonal imbalances and sexual dysfunction.

Stress Management: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga to manage daily stress and improve sexual control.

When to Seek Medical Advice

If natural treatments do not yield results or if premature ejaculation is causing significant distress, it may be time to consult a doctor. A healthcare professional can help diagnose the underlying causes and recommend medical interventions like therapy, medications, or other treatments.

Conclusion

Premature ejaculation is a manageable condition, and with the right natural treatments, men can regain control over their sexual performance. Incorporating Kegel exercises, herbal remedies, stress-relief techniques, and dietary changes can help improve stamina and restore confidence. By embracing these natural remedies, men can achieve lasting results and enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling sex life.

How Do I Cure Erectile Dysfunction?

How Do I Cure Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects many men at some point in their lives, causing difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. While ED can be frustrating and sometimes embarrassing, it’s important to know that it is treatable. With the right approach, most men can regain their sexual health and confidence. ED pills like Cenforce 100 Blue Pill are probably the most common form of ED treatment.

In this blog, we’ll discuss the causes of erectile dysfunction, treatment options, and steps you can take to overcome ED and improve your overall well-being.

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

Before we dive into treatments, it’s important to understand the common causes of erectile dysfunction. ED can stem from both physical and psychological factors. In many cases, it is a combination of both. Here are some of the most common causes:

Physical Causes:

Cardiovascular issues: Conditions like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), or heart disease can restrict blood flow to the penis.

Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and blood vessels, affecting the ability to get and maintain an erection.

Hormonal imbalances: Low levels of testosterone or other hormonal issues can impact sexual function.

Neurological conditions: Diseases like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis (MS) can interfere with nerve signals needed for erection.

Medications: Some medications for high blood pressure, depression, or other conditions can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect.

Psychological Causes:

Stress and anxiety: Worrying about performance, work, or personal issues can interfere with your ability to achieve an erection.

Depression: Mental health issues like depression often decrease sexual desire and function.

Relationship problems: Lack of communication, emotional intimacy, or unresolved conflicts with a partner can contribute to ED.

How Can Erectile Dysfunction Be Treated?

The good news is that erectile dysfunction is treatable, and there are a variety of options available depending on the root cause. Let’s take a look at the different treatments and strategies that can help cure or manage ED.

1. Medications

The most common treatment for erectile dysfunction is the use of oral medications. These drugs help increase blood flow to the penis, allowing men to achieve and maintain an erection. Some of the most widely prescribed medications include:

Sildenafil (Viagra)

Tadalafil (Cialis)

Vardenafil (Levitra)

Avanafil (Stendra)

These medications work by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5, which relaxes the blood vessels in the penis and allows for greater blood flow during sexual arousal. The medications vary in how long they last and how quickly they take effect, so your doctor can help you choose the best one for your needs.

In some cases, generic versions of these medications, such as generic Cialis or Viagra, may be recommended, offering a more affordable alternative with the same effectiveness.

2. Lifestyle Changes

In many cases, making healthier lifestyle choices can significantly improve erectile dysfunction. Here are some key steps that can help:

Exercise regularly: Physical activity, especially aerobic exercise, helps improve blood circulation, reduce stress, and boost testosterone levels. Ensuring proper sleep is also one of your top priorities as lack of sleep can directly impact higher stress levels. Of course, as we told you above all this can be done alongside taking pills of Cenforce 200.

Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can improve heart health, blood flow, and hormone levels, all of which are important for sexual function.

Maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese can lead to hormonal imbalances, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease—all of which can contribute to ED.

Limit alcohol consumption: Excessive drinking can negatively affect your ability to perform sexually. Moderating alcohol intake may help alleviate ED symptoms.

Quit smoking: Smoking restricts blood flow and damages blood vessels, which can worsen erectile dysfunction. Quitting smoking improves blood circulation and overall sexual health.

Get enough sleep: Poor sleep patterns can interfere with hormone production, including testosterone, and increase stress levels, both of which can contribute to ED.

3. Psychological Counseling and Therapy

If your erectile dysfunction is primarily due to psychological factors, such as anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship issues, counseling or therapy may be helpful. Sex therapy or couples counseling can address emotional and psychological issues that are affecting your sexual performance.

A therapist or counselor may use techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you manage stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts related to sex. By addressing the root causes of ED, therapy can improve your mental and emotional well-being and restore sexual function.

4. Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs)

Vacuum erection devices are non-invasive tools that can help men with ED achieve an erection. These devices consist of a tube placed over the penis, with a pump that creates a vacuum to draw blood into the penis. Once an erection is achieved, a constriction band is placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection during sexual activity.

While VEDs can be effective, they are generally considered a second-line treatment for ED and may not be suitable for everyone.

5. Penile Injections and Suppositories

For men who do not respond to oral medications, penile injections or urethral suppositories can be an effective option. These treatments involve injecting or inserting medication directly into the penis, which relaxes the blood vessels and increases blood flow.

Medications such as alprostadil are commonly used for this type of treatment. While it may sound intimidating, many men find this method to be effective and relatively easy to use once they become accustomed to it.

6. Penile Implants

For severe cases of erectile dysfunction where other treatments have failed, penile implants may be an option. This surgical procedure involves placing a device inside the penis that allows men to control when and how long an erection lasts. Penile implants are usually only considered after other treatments have been unsuccessful.

There are different types of penile implants, including inflatable and malleable implants, and your doctor will work with you to determine which type is most appropriate.

7. Hormone Therapy

In cases where erectile dysfunction is linked to low testosterone levels, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be recommended. This therapy can include testosterone injections, patches, or gels to restore normal hormone levels, which can improve libido and erectile function.

HRT is usually prescribed after blood tests confirm that low testosterone is the cause of ED. It’s important to work with a healthcare provider to monitor hormone levels and avoid potential side effects of treatment.

When Should You See a Doctor?

If you’re experiencing erectile dysfunction, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. While occasional issues with erections are normal, persistent ED can be a sign of an underlying health problem, such as heart disease, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances. A doctor can help determine the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Additionally, addressing ED early can prevent the condition from affecting your self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Conclusion

Erectile dysfunction is a common condition, but it is treatable. Whether it’s through medication, lifestyle changes, psychological therapy, or more advanced treatments like injections or implants, there are many options available to help men regain their sexual health. The key is to take action, seek professional help, and work with your healthcare provider to find the best treatment for you.

Remember, ED is not a permanent condition for most men. With the right approach, you can take control of your health and restore your confidence and vitality.

Understanding the Link Between Skin Infections and Hormone Disorders

Skin health is often a reflection of internal body systems, with various conditions and imbalances manifesting on the skin’s surface. Skin infections and hormone disorders may seem unrelated, but they are frequently interconnected. Changes in hormone levels can disrupt the skin’s natural defenses, making it more vulnerable to infections. This article explores the connection between hormone imbalances and skin infections, discussing how these issues arise and what can be done to manage them effectively.

How Hormone Disorders Affect Skin Health 

A hormone disorder occurs when there is an imbalance in the body’s hormone levels, disrupting various physiological functions. Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol play a significant role in skin health by regulating processes such as oil production, hydration, and skin cell turnover. When these hormones are out of balance, the skin can become more susceptible to various issues, including acne, dryness, and inflammation. Hormone disorder can lead to excess oil production or leave the skin barrier weakened, which provides an ideal environment for bacteria or fungi to thrive and cause infections. Common hormone-related conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and adrenal dysfunction, often result in skin problems as one of their symptoms. High testosterone levels in individuals with PCOS, for instance, can lead to increased sebum production, clogging pores and creating an environment where infections, like bacterial acne, can take root. Similarly, elevated cortisol levels during chronic stress can weaken the immune response, allowing infections to develop more quickly. In essence, hormone disorders can disrupt the natural equilibrium of the skin, making it more prone to infections.

Types of Skin infections related to Hormone Imbalance

A variety of skin infection can arise or worsen due to a hormone disorder. One typical example is acne, which occurs when the skin’s pores become clogged and infected with bacteria. Hormonal imbalances, such as elevated testosterone levels, can exacerbate this issue by stimulating oil production and increasing the risk of bacterial growth. While acne is often associated with adolescence, it can persist into adulthood for individuals with underlying hormone imbalances, causing discomfort and impacting self-esteem. Fungal infections are another type of skin infection linked to hormone changes. People experiencing hormonal shifts may find themselves more prone to infections like ringworm or candida overgrowth on the skin. Conditions like diabetes, which affects hormone levels and blood sugar balance, can make it easier for fungal infections to develop and persist. Additionally, eczema and psoriasis, while not directly caused by infections, can become infected when hormone disorders lead to increased skin inflammation and a compromised skin barrier.

Managing Skin Health Through Hormone Balance

Addressing underlying hormone imbalances is critical to managing both skin infections and overall skin health. Lifestyle modifications, such as reducing stress, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting regular exercise, can help support hormone balance naturally. For individuals dealing with hormonal acne or fungal infections, treatments that target both the hormone imbalance and the infection are often effective. For instance, individuals with PCOS may benefit from medications that regulate testosterone levels, thereby reducing acne outbreaks and the risk of infection. A healthcare provider may also recommend medications to treat the infection itself, such as antibiotics for bacterial infections or antifungals for fungal infections. By combining treatments that address both the infection and the underlying hormone imbalance, individuals can achieve healthier skin and reduce the recurrence of skin-related issues.

Conclusion

The link between skin infections and hormone disorders highlights the importance of addressing underlying health conditions to maintain clear, healthy skin. Hormone imbalances can compromise the skin’s defenses, making infections more likely and more challenging to treat.

Taking a holistic approach that considers both hormonal health and skin care can improve skin conditions, reduce infection risks, and support overall wellness.

Shilajit can also help with testosterone production, which plays an important role in sexual health. While it may not have the immediate effects of Viagra, Shilajit can improve sexual performance over time.

How Shilajit Helps with Sexual Health

Increases Sex TimeMany people ask, "does shilajit increase sex time?" Yes, Shilajit can help men last longer during sex. It works by boosting your energy, improving blood flow, and increasing stamina. This makes it easier to enjoy longer sexual activity.

Boosts Sex Power If you're wondering, "does shilajit increase sex power?", the answer is yes. Shilajit can boost your sex drive and improve sexual energy. It helps improve circulation and supports the production of testosterone, which increases sexual desire and power.

Improves Erectile Function Shilajit can also help improve erectile function. By improving blood flow and increasing nitric oxide levels, Shilajit can help men who have mild erectile issues.

Supports Testosterone Levels Testosterone is a key hormone for men’s sexual health, and Shilajit helps support its natural production. This can improve libido, energy, and overall sexual performance.

Is Shilajit Better than Viagra?

Shilajit and Viagra are different. Viagra is a medication that works quickly to improve blood flow, helping men with erectile dysfunction. Shilajit, on the other hand, is a natural substance that works over time to improve overall sexual health.

If you're looking for an instant solution to erectile issues, Viagra may be the right choice. However, if you’re looking for a natural, long-term option to boost stamina, energy, and sexual health, Shilajit may be a better option.

How to Use Shilajit for Sexual Health

To get the most out of Shilajit, it’s important to use it regularly. Here’s how to take it:

Dosage: A typical dose is around 300-500 mg of Shilajit per day. Start with a small amount and increase as needed.

How to Take: Shilajit dissolves easily in warm water, milk, or smoothies. Simply mix it into your drink to make it easier to absorb.

Conclusion

In conclusion, does Shilajit work like Viagra? While it doesn’t work as quickly as Viagra, Shilajit can still improve sexual health over time. It helps with increasing sex time, boosting sex power, and supporting testosterone levels. If you're looking for a natural way to improve your sexual health, Shilajit is a great option.

It may not provide instant results like Viagra, but with consistent use, Shilajit can help you improve your sexual performance, stamina, and energy. Consider adding Shilajit to your routine for better overall health and sexual wellness.
