Your Grandpa Had Higher T Than You - Here’s What To Do About It

Your Grandpa Had Higher T Than You

Let’s talk about something no one’s really talking about - but probably should be.

Testosterone levels in men have been quietly declining for decades. According to long-term studies, the average man today has significantly less testosterone than men the same age did in the 1970s.
In fact, it’s dropping at a rate of about 1% per year.

So if you’re in your 20s or 30s and wondering why your energy’s been off, why the gym isn’t hitting the same, or why your drive feels different - it’s not in your head.
And it’s not just “getting older.”

What’s behind the drop?

There’s no single cause, but modern life has created a perfect storm for hormonal imbalance:

• Diets higher in processed food and low in key nutrients

• More time indoors, less natural light

• Plastics and chemicals that disrupt hormone pathways

• Poor sleep and chronic stress

• Not enough movement, too much screen time

The truth? Testosterone wasn’t designed for this kind of environment. And your body’s doing the best it can - but it’s probably overwhelmed.

How low T actually shows up

Not everyone experiences the same symptoms, but here’s what a lot of people start to notice:

• Feeling slower or more fatigued, even when you’re “doing everything right”

• Less muscle or harder time building it

• Brain fog, irritability, or feeling unmotivated

• Sleep isn’t restorative

• Low or fluctuating libido

You don’t need to be falling apart to have hormone levels worth looking at. Sometimes it’s just subtle enough that it gets brushed off as stress - or not talked about at all.

So, what can you actually do?

This isn’t about jumping straight to prescriptions. It’s about helping your body get back into a rhythm it can thrive in.

Small, consistent changes can help:

• Focus on whole foods with enough protein and healthy fats

• Move your body regularly, especially strength training

• Get 7–9 hours of high-quality sleep

• Spend time in sunlight

• Reduce exposure to plastics, fragrance, and household chemicals

• Support your nervous system (and your stress)

And yes - certain supplements can help too.

Two of our favorites to start with:

Vitamin D3 + K2

Most people aren’t getting enough Vitamin D - and low levels are linked to low testosterone, low mood, and poor immune response.
D3 helps support healthy hormone production, and pairing it with K2 makes it more bioavailable and safe for long-term use. If you’re indoors a lot or live in a place with less sun, this is a smart place to start.

Ashwagandha

An adaptogen that’s been used for centuries - and with good reason. Ashwagandha helps reduce cortisol (your stress hormone), improve sleep, and has been shown to support testosterone levels, especially in men who strength train.
It’s also a go-to for anyone feeling anxious, burnt out, or just off their usual rhythm.

We’re not meant to feel depleted, flat, or tired all the time - especially not in our 20s and 30s. So if something feels off, pay attention to it. Get curious. Ask questions.

Because when your hormones are supported, everything else feels easier.
