• Growth hormone → rebuilds muscle and tissue

Here’s 7 fixes to get good sleep:

1. Don’t mouth breath.

7. Set a consistent sleep window.

Your circadian rhythm runs on a 24-hour clock.

If you constantly shift your bedtime/wake time, your internal clock falls out of sync.

Aim for 7 hours in bed, same schedule 7 days a week.

Testosterone isn't just about sex or libido.

Healthy testosterone helps support:

- Bone density.
- Red blood cell production.
- Sexual function.
- Sperm production.

Your brain sends LH to your testes.

Your Leydig cells respond by producing testosterone.
