In this video, we’re going to talk about how belly fat destroys testosterone. 

Symptoms of low testosterone:

• Low sex drive 

• Erectile dysfunction 

• Depression 

• Poor concentration 

• Fatigue 

• Irritability 

• Loss of muscle strength 

Visceral fat is fat around the organs in the mid-section. It’s loaded with an enzyme called aromatase. The more fat you have, the more aromatase you’re going to have. 

Aromatase converts testosterone and other androgens into estrogen. Estrogen lowers testosterone and can make you fat. 

How to inhibit aromatase and increase testosterone:

1. Lose belly fat (get on the keto diet and do intermittent fasting)

2. Consume aromatase inhibitors, such as:

• White button mushrooms 

• Cruciferous vegetables 

• DIM (concentrated cruciferous vegetables) 

• Stinging nettle root

• Licorice

• Grape seed extract
