How to increase low testosterone

Way to increase low testosterone levels.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is the primary method to increase low testosterone levels. TRT involves supplementing testosterone through various forms, including injections, gels, patches, pellets and lozenges, to raise testosterone to a normal range. In addition to TRT, lifestyle changes like exercise, stress management, a healthy diet, and weight loss can also help improve testosterone levels.

If you’re experiencing symptoms of low testosterone — such as fatigue, low sex drive, weight gain, or mood changes — it’s important to know that there are safe and effective ways to boost your testosterone levels and regain your quality of life.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).

The most direct and medically proven method to restore testosterone is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). TRT involves supplementing the body with testosterone to bring hormone levels back into a healthy, balanced range. It can be administered in various forms to suit your lifestyle and preferences, including:

Injections – weekly or fortnightly
Gels or creams – applied daily to the skin
Patches – worn on the skin and changed regularly
Implantable pellets – inserted under the skin every few months
Buccal lozenges – placed against the gum for slow absorption

TRT is highly effective when tailored to your individual needs and closely monitored by experienced professionals. At The Testo Clinic, we use clinically backed protocols to ensure safe, reliable results, with a focus on long-term health, energy, and mental clarity.

Lifestyle changes that can help boost testosterone naturally.

While TRT is often the best solution for clinically low testosterone, certain lifestyle changes may also help support and stabilise your hormone levels:

Exercise regularly

Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have both been shown to increase testosterone levels. Consistent physical activity not only builds muscle and reduces fat — it also stimulates testosterone production and improves overall mood and energy.

Maintain a healthy weight

Excess body fat, particularly around the abdomen, is linked to lower testosterone levels. Losing weight through a combination of diet and exercise can improve hormone balance and reduce estrogen (which rises when body fat is high).

Eat a balanced diet

Nutrient-dense foods support healthy hormone production with a focus on a diet rich in:

Healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts)
Lean proteins (chicken, fish, eggs)
Zinc-rich foods (red meat, shellfish, pumpkin seeds)
Magnesium sources (leafy greens, whole grains, legumes)

Avoid highly processed foods, excess sugar, and refined carbohydrates, as these can contribute to insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance.

Manage stress

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, a hormone that directly suppresses testosterone production. Practising mindfulness, taking time to relax, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities you enjoy can all help lower stress levels and support hormonal health.

Prioritise sleep

Most testosterone is produced during sleep. Inadequate or poor-quality sleep can reduce testosterone levels significantly. Aim for 7–9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, and try to maintain a consistent sleep-wake cycle.

Limit alcohol and avoid smoking

Excessive alcohol intake and smoking both negatively affect testosterone production. Cutting back on alcohol and quitting smoking can help improve hormone levels and overall vitality.

What to do when lifestyle changes aren’t enough?

For many men, especially those with clinically diagnosed testosterone deficiency, lifestyle changes alone may not restore levels to an optimal range. That’s where Testosterone Replacement Therapy comes in — delivering medically supervised, long-term results that help you feel like yourself again.
