It’s well known that testosterone plays a huge role in performance and body composition for males as higher levels are associated with greater muscle mass and less body fat. While it’s natural for testosterone levels to decline as you age, there are plenty of lifestyle factors that can cause you to have lower testosterone levels as well.
We all know that exercise, sleep, and diet are important for health and performance. Testosterone levels are a key part of that aspect. A lack of exercise, low quality sleep, and a poor diet can lower testosterone levels even in those who are young.
There may come a time to use testosterone boosting supplements as you age or if you have special health conditions, but a majority of people just need to change their lifestyle to boost/maintain testosterone levels. Exercise consistently, practice better sleep hygiene, and eat a well rounded diet to experience better moods, better energy, and better body composition due to elevated testosterone levels.

During my freshmen year of college, one of my professors asked the class, “how many of you claim your faith as the most important thing in your life?”
As expected at a Christian institution, every hand in the class went up. Then she asked, “how many of you have read the Bible cover to cover?”
Only a few hands went up this time. Mine was not among them. Then she said, “if you claim your faith is the most important thing in your life, shouldn’t you read the book that is the foundation of the Christian faith at least once?”
For whatever reason, I hadn’t ever thought of it like that. I knew the Bible was important and had spent time reading scripture, but I hadn’t devoted myself to reading the entire Biblical story and was ashamed in that moment for not doing so.
It only makes sense though. We dive into research, videos, and books endlessly about our favorite hobbies and interests, yet we don’t spend time reading the book that enables us to grow in our faith and closer to God?
Since that day, I have read through the Bible a few times. Sure there are chapters that are hard to read and understand, but there is also so much to uncover about who God is and the life that Jesus, prophets, bold believers, and more lived that you don’t catch unless you spend time diving in to the Word.
We live in a time where it’s so easy to be consumed by the distractions around us that we lose focus of what is actually important as a result. We make time for so many trivial things that don’t truly matter, yet fail to understand scripture with so many lessons and ideas that still hold true centuries later.
I challenge you, if you claim your Christian faith is the most important thing in your life, to devote 10-15 minutes a day to reading through each word in the Bible if you have never done so and see how it changes you. I also encourage those who aren’t sure what they believe to spend some time in scripture and see what you uncover.

Developing the habit of not only asking more questions, but the right questions, is a helpful tool for upgrading your life and performance.
It’s important to be constantly curious and ask questions of yourself and others to gain a better understanding of your purpose and the world around you.
Other people have different perspectives and experiences than you, so gaining an insight into the way they think can help you grow and open you up to things you may have missed or overlooked.
Youth is often glorified today, but those with decades of experiences can teach you lessons they’ve learned and mistakes they’ve made so that you can accelerate your growth if you’re willing to ask about their experiences.
The questions we ask ourselves are just as important to become more self aware and honestly evaluate ourselves (“Did I get better or grow today?” “What qualities or habits do I struggle with most?” “What steps can I take to get to where I want to go?”).
We can also incorporate daily questions that set us up for success and happiness. Instead of asking “why is this happening to me?”, we can ask “how can I learn and grow from the situation I’m in and use it for good?” The questions themselves, not even the answers, can completely shift our mindset for the better.
While asking what could go wrong certainly has a place, such as when critically evaluating a major business or life decision, we should more often ask ourselves what could go right if we choose to take a chance or make a difference?
Choose to ask more questions, be mindful of the questions you’re asking yourself and others, and set yourself up for more happiness and success by shifting your lifestyle based on the answers you get.

Hopefully you have a long term goal or dream you’re chasing, but are you taking specific steps each day to make that goal or dream more attainable?
I find it incredibly effective to make a list of things that I NEED to get done each day I as well as things I would LIKE to get done if time allows in order to get both major and minor tasks done.
Some are daily non-negotiables, like reading the Bible, exercising, or learning something new. Others are task specific depending on the day, like programming workouts, completing work for a course/cert, or analyzing player/client data.
If you don’t specifically identify the tasks you want to complete on a given day, chances are you will just blow it off or feel so intimidated by everything that you need to do that you end up getting nothing done.
List your tasks that absolutely have to get done at the top and the ones that are less of a necessity at the bottom. Complete the ones at the top as soon and effectively as you can. If you get to the lower priority ones, great. If not, don’t beat yourself up and try to get it done tomorrow.
It’s hard to hold ourselves accountable if we don’t specifically name and identify the things we want to get done. Days of not doing what you need to eventually stacks to weeks, months, and years of procrastinating and getting you nowhere closer to where you want to go.
The sense of accomplishment from checking off a task is not only rewarding in and of itself, but also allows you to look back on your day and know full well you took a step in the right direction. It could be a small or big step, but it is a step nonetheless, which always better than remaining stagnant.
Be honest with yourself and name your goals/dreams if you haven’t. List out the steps it will take to get there. Identify the things you can do today to bring you closer to your dream/goal and GET IT DONE. Continue pounding the stone each day until that stone inevitably breaks.

It is incredibly easy to recognize the mistakes and flaws of other people, but it is much more difficult to put ourselves in their shoes and understand why these shortcomings exist.
As someone who loves exercise and practicing healthy habits, I find myself occasionally looking down on others who don’t lead consistently healthy lifestyles even though there’s plenty of areas where I fall short every day.
“Why don’t they do anything about being out of shape?” “Why do they always turn to alcohol to solve their problems” “Why are they so negative all the time?” We think there’s simple solutions to these questions with an easy fix but that’s just often not the case.
I’ve come to realize these are surface level questions with incredibly complex answers a majority of the time. The intentions for living a better lifestyle may be present, but mental barriers from previous experiences or misconceptions can easily get in the way of progress.
Perhaps they had a bad experience or coach who ruined their enjoyment of exercise. Maybe they have trauma in their past and the only solution they could find was at the bottom of a bottle. It could be that they grew up in a home with pessimistic parents as their primary examples.
Rather than judging people for their shortcomings, we should be better about empathizing with them and working to understand why they think and live the way they do so that we can encourage them through the things that may be holding them back.
It’s also important to be spend less time pointing out the faults in others and spend more time being honest with ourselves about our own flaws. It’s easy to cover up our own insecurities when we make fun of or judge others, but this is wrong and unproductive.
Be slower to judge others and quicker to listen to them and love on them. Meet people where they’re at and encourage them. Work to understand them better and ask them questions. Elevate your life and take others with you!

Have you ever noticed that once you get into a routine, it’s fairly easy to maintain a healthy habit?
Whether it be getting into a consistent exercise schedule, going to bed at the same time each night, or eating the same healthy breakfast every morning, it feels great when these things just become easy and second nature.
However, once you break these habits, things can go downhill quickly and it might be incredibly difficult to get back on track
We can not only help you get on the right path, but can help you create a routine and lifestyle that feels manageable so that you can avoid constantly taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
