Natural Testosterone Support
Herbs, Aging, and the Winding Down of Time – Natural Testosterone Support
When most people hear “testosterone,” they picture muscle-bound gym rats or aggressive athletes breaking records with raging ferocity. But testosterone isn’t just for the ripped athlete—it’s foundational to vitality, energy, libido, bone strength, and more. But here’s the problem: it declines steadily as we age. The good news is that God has given us ways to support testosterone as we age naturally.
In my latest Substack essay, I examine the science behind testosterone loss, identify lifestyle and environmental factors that accelerate the decline, and most importantly, I share practical, natural ways to support your hormones through the use of herbs, supplements, and lifestyle factors.
Key Takeaways from the Essay
- What Causes Low Testosterone? Aging, stress, sleep loss, toxin exposure, and increased aromatization (this is the process by which your body converts testosterone to estrogen).
- Common Symptoms: Low energy, mood swings, reduced libido, muscle loss, poor sleep, and more.
- Why It Matters: Low testosterone isn’t just inconvenient—it’s linked to cardiovascular risk, metabolic issues, and cognitive decline.

More Than Muscle: The Spiritual Side of Aging
Here’s where we zoom out to take a look at the big picture. Boosting testosterone is helpful, but it’s not going to reverse the aging process. Our aging bodies are not just biochemical systems in decline; they are signposts pointing us toward eternity.
In the end, there’s only one way to truly beat the grave: not through hormones, but through Christ. As our physical strength fades, we’re invited into deeper prayer, reflection, and service. “To live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
