So this is interesting, especially if you're looking to increase your own T levels...

The microbiome, gut flora, beneficial bacteria, call it what you will...is super important for your health in a multitude of ways.

Many people on the cutting edge of health are aware of this fact and thus eat fermented foods and/or take probiotics to get the benefits.

(I actually wrote a book about how gut bacteria affects food cravings and how to kill that bacteria to stop the cravings!).

My friend Logan Christopher had a hypothesis, which he wrote inside his Upgrade Your Testosterone book, that your microbiome can affect your hormones, including testosterone.

Well, recently he found out that he was RIGHT about the link to gut bacteria and testosterone.

Not via human studies but some interesting insights with mice.

These stated that the “microbial community alters sex hormone levels."

The bacteria itself isn’t producing these hormones, but what they do, because the body is a system, will affect the hormones.

As well, “the gut microbiome can modulate the permeability of the blood testis barrier and might play a role in the regulation of endocrine functions of the testis.”

The blood-testis barrier. That’s similar to the blood brain barrier, except having to do with the other area that men tend to think with ;)

It's not surprising.

Good testosterone function, despite age, is largely a matter of good overall healthy functioning of the body.

What does this mean for your testosterone levels?

Well, to really maximize your testosterone levels naturally, you need to look at the big picture as he shares in his book Upgrade Your Testosterone.
