The 3 Ways You're Ruining Your Sex Life...
But there’s a good chance that you may have some issues with your testosterone.
In fact, recent statistics show that ONE out of every FOUR men – over the age of 30 – may experience some decline in their testosterone levels.
Low testosterone may lead to a whole host of issues, but none as important as your sex life.
Having low testosterone may decrease your desire and interest in having sex…
May lead to poor performance…
It could also lead to a loss in libido!
Now, most men scour the internet looking for the best ways…the right foods…or some simple tricks to increase their libido and sex drive.
But before you assume that eating oysters…or rubbing some cream on your will fix your issues in the bedroom, there are some things you need to consider.
Many men may experience some sort of issue in the bedroom.
It could be the occasional loss of interest…
It could be the inability to get – or maintain – an erection…
Or it could be the loss of sexual interest you have in your partner.
Now, on the outside, many men will look for ways to boost their libido – either through diet and lifestyle changes.
Some will have great success…
…while others may not see any changes in their libido or sex drive.
Why?
Well, more than likely they have some of these conditions going on…
…and no matter what you do…how you eat…or what natural remedies you take…
Unless you fix these issues, you may never see a rebound in your sex drive. And that could spell trouble for your relationship!
So, what are they?
Stress
Nothing beats down your sex life – and your erection – quite like stress!
Stress not only raises your blood pressure and heart rate, but it is also a killer to your sex life.
You see, stress produces cortisol, which may cause disappointment in bed and a loss in libido.
And when you can’t perform at your best in the bedroom – your stress levels may go up, which further compounds the situation.
What can you do?
Try some deep breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, and exercise to relieve your stress.
This could significantly improve your life – inside and outside – of the bedroom.
2. Too Many Sleepless Nights
There are many around the world that may be sleep deprived.
And this could be contributing to the rises of overweight or obese adults, the reliance on energy drinks, and poor health.
However, for men, sleep loss has been linked to lower testosterone levels and a loss of sex drive.
But this may be an easy one to fix!
By setting a time to go to bed…avoiding electronic devices in your bedroom...and investing in light blocking shades may go a long way to a restful night sleep.
If you want to get a good night’s rest – have sex!
Sex has been shown to release potent hormones that could help you sleep better at night! Plus, the extra sex may also kick start your sex drive – especially if you have sex frequently before you go to sleep.
3. You May Be Depressed
Depression impacts the lives of many people. Not only does it impact the person suffering from depression, but it impacts everyone around them as well.
And guess what? Depression may affect 10 to 20 percent of men, which could cause them to have issues in the bedroom.
Stress, depression, and anxiety may all be factors when it comes to disappointment in bed, poor sexual performance, and feeling of inadequacy when trying to please your partner.
All these conditions may lead to a deeper slide in depression, which could lead to other health issues.
Take Home Message
Loss of sex drive could be a due to a number of different factors.
It could have to do with how your feel about the way you look…
If you have low testosterone levels…
Or if you are suffering low blood flow!
No matter what the cause, it could impact all areas of your life – especially your sex life.
Every man’s sexual health relies not on one, but three unique “pillars”:
Testosterone
Libido
Blood Flow
"Wow, I haven't heard her that loud in a long time!"
That was Dan’s weird first thought when he walked in and saw his girlfriend straddling some dude on the couch...wailing at the top of her lungs.
For a few seconds he stood there like a deer in the headlights...
And then reality hit him.
His heart fell to his stomach...
He felt his face getting flush…
Adrenaline flowed into every cell in his body
He felt his face getting flush…
Adrenaline flowed into every cell in his body...
He started yelling at both of them…
The guy jumped to his feet, grabbed his clothes, and made a beeline out the backdoor. His soon-to-be-ex covered herself and just stared at him…more annoyed than ashamed.
They’d been together for over a year and he never saw this coming.
Maybe he should have…
I’ve known Dan for 30 years.
He called me the next morning and told me this entire story.
His voice cracked with emotion…
“What the f***! She was having a great time!”
He was heartbroken and humiliated...
I felt awful for him.
This was his first serious girlfriend since his divorce. He thought it was headed somewhere long-term…
But there she was…
Caught in the act... and loving it.
I asked him what would push her to do something like that. He said,
"Well, as I left her place, she said, 'I need it a lot more than you can give me. Once a month isn't enough for any woman.'"
Ouch...
At the time, it was every guy’s worst nightmare.
Today we can both look back and shrug it off.
Because as badly as I felt for him, that night triggered one of the most ground-shaking breakthroughs I’ve experienced in my 20+ years as a Registered Dietician and men’s health expert.
I discovered an incredibly simple alternative that makes other solutions to “virility issues” look like worthless bandaids by comparison.
More importantly, it spares you from resorting to dangerous pills and injections from your doctor.
In fact, it works so well, you’ll ask the same question I did...
How has the research on men's health overlooked this for so long?
Well, I’m about to answer that very question...
And here’s the best part...
It doesn’t matter how old you are...
It doesn’t matter if you struggle with energy and libido...
And it doesn’t matter if you battle erection issues...
This simple solution finally addresses the 3 undeniable pillars of consistent and satisfying sexual performance and long-term men's health.
And it convinced me that every guy over 40 has been coming at things all wrong...
But you can bet you won’t hear a word about it from your doctor...
(I explain why in a minute...)
So if you’re battling traditional “aging” issues like...
Vanishing muscle mass...
Increasing fat around your midsection...
Plummeting energy levels...
And even the loss of that "drive" that makes you a man...
Then you’re most likely missing one or more of the 3 bedrocks of men’s health and sexual performance...
Coming up short on any one of these three areas means you’re heading down a nasty spiral...
And YES, she notices...
So stick with me for the next few minutes...
I’m going to reveal why women are scrambling to keep a steady supply of this “virility reset” on hand and how this 30-second daily ritual will change everything.
I’ve been a Registered Dietician for over 20 years.
As a nationally known weight-loss expert and have appeared on ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS.
I specialize in men’s health issues... which is why my buddy Dan called me that morning.
Now, a cheating girlfriend isn’t exactly front-page news, but this one hit close to home.
My buddy Dan thought it would be romantic to pop over to his girlfriend’s house unannounced.
He brought a bottle of wine to celebrate their upcoming one-year dating anniversary.
He was eager to see her and even had a dozen roses in hand...
He walked in, turned the corner into the living room, and there they were...
Now he’s stuck with the visual of Mr. Thirty-Something Six Pack pleasing his girl and then jogging out the door...
Once we got talking, he admitted he hadn’t exactly been “lighting things up” with her between the sheets for some time now...
She had even dropped a few hints to him about it...
I knew that a couple of years ago he was a maniac about hitting the gym... now he didn’t even give it a second thought.
“I just don’t have the energy to lift at the end of the day anymore,” he confessed.
He remembered the first sign of trouble...
When they first started dating, his ex came up to him from behind, reached around, and grabbed his chest while he was changing...
“What are you about a B cup?” she said.
She meant it as a joke, but Dan was horrified...
He pulled away and quickly pulled his shirt on.
He told me, “I look like I’ve lost half my muscle. My belly is starting to hang over my belt and I feel like crap.”
He went on, “Last night was the final straw…Something has to change or I’m going to end up being some lonely, grouchy old dude. I hate where this is going... What can I do about it?”
I understood where he was coming from...
I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life and in every age group.
And along with weight gain, a lagging sex drive is the number one concern for guys over age 40.[1]
I’m guessing you or someone you know has experienced the same symptoms Dan endured. Believe me, it’s FAR more common than you’d imagine.
In his case, his low libido pushed his girlfriend to look elsewhere...
Now, I know from experience that most guys sprint to the doctor as soon as they experience a “no show” erection.
But there are problems with that...
You see, the first thing your doctor is going to do is hand you a script for some testosterone cream, gel, or injection.
But remember this, once you start taking “fake T”, you have to take that stuff forever! Along with all the health risks that come with it.[2]
Here’s a shortlist of the proven dangers of taking testosterone...
Worsening sleep apnea
Acne and other skin reactions
Enlarging breasts
Increased risk of blood clots
But it gets worse...
The instant your body detects testosterone coming in from the outside, it shuts down your natural production[3]
The result
Big pharma gets a patient for life.
Dan wanted no part of that…
Dan’s “incident” as we started to call it, was the kick in the ass he needed.
I resolved to help him.
Here’s why...
I’ve heard the same complaints from dozens and dozens of men...
Feeling like half the man they were...
Unable to keep up with the younger guys in nearly every category...
Looking forward to the couch instead of the gym...
Or making up bogus excuses when their significant other is looking for satisfaction...
I made it my mission to find some answers that worked. And I’ll admit, I didn’t want to see myself headed down the same path!
It all started with some deep research.
What I found was disturbing...
Every solution out there focuses on raising testosterone levels but NOT because that's the best answer...
It's because testosterone is the only part of the equation doctors can physically measure
That’s why physicians are so quick to write scripts for testosterone.
But the evidence shows that artificially increasing testosterone levels is NOT the solution.
The real answer is completely counterintuitive...
Let me prove it to you...
If elevating testosterone levels was the men's cure-all, then every guy in the world would simply take testosterone and he'd be walking around full of energy, completely ripped, and always "ready for action"...
Testosterone is only one part of the answer!
This is a simplistic view of testosterone because we now know that all testosterone is NOT the same.
First, a quick primer on testosterone:
In the body, testosterone only exists in two forms.
“Bound Testosterone” and “Free Testosterone”.
The vast majority of your testosterone is unavailable for use because it’s “locked up” or bound to certain proteins.
This accounts for as much as 98% of the total testosterone in your body.
The remaining 2% of testosterone is not bound to anything.
Hence the name, “Free Testosterone”.
This is the good stuff.
Only Free Testosterone can enter the cells and provide the benefits you associate with testosterone
Strong libido
Low body fat
Improved mood, etc.
Here’s where it gets tricky...
As you age, the Total Testosterone in your body goes down while the proteins that trap free testosterone go up. [4]
It’s a lousy double-whammy...
These proteins are like those sticky fly strips, only their target is your testosterone.
Once they latch onto your testosterone molecules, they don’t want to let go...
This means the testosterone you do have becomes less and less effective over time... unless you do something about it.
But it is possible, as you’ll see...
When you hit age 40, it’s as if nature says, “You’re over the hill. You can go out to pasture now.”
This probably has a lot to do with the fact that in ancient times, living past age 40-50 was rare.[5]
So in a way, losing muscle, getting fat, and losing your virility is part of our evolution.
What a crappy deal...
Modern men want it all...
These days when we hit 40 we know we've got a long way to go. We want to feel good, look good, have tons of energy, AND have a great sex life.
We want to feel strong, vital and ALIVE!
The only workable solution is to boost your free testosterone by prying it free from the proteins that have it trapped or increasing your free testosterone naturally.
That’s about it.
Here’s something else that shoots down the “crank up the fake testo” theory...
Dan’s testosterone levels were completely normal. As far as his doctor was concerned, there was no problem...
Oh really?
Tell that to his ex!
So how do we explain his sagging sex drive?
Clearly, there’s more to the issues than testosterone level...
To find a better answer, I needed to study the science of erections and the male sex drive...
The Cleveland Clinic describes how erections work like this:[3]
“An erection begins with sensory and mental stimulation.
During sexual arousal, nerve messages begin to stimulate the penis.
Impulses from the brain and local nerves cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax, allowing blood to flow in and fill the open spaces.
The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand and creating an erection.
The tunica albuginea (the membrane surrounding the corpora cavernosa), helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, sustaining the erection.
Erection is reversed when muscles in the penis contract, stopping the inflow of blood and opening outflow channels.”
When you look at everything that has to happen first, we’re lucky we get an erection at all!
And this is just the physical process of achieving an erection...
This doesn’t get into the arousal (libido) step in any detail...
And it doesn’t get into blood flow problems either.
It took a while for me to see it but the answer was staring me in the face the entire time...
Every man’s sexual health relies not on one, but three unique “pillars”:
Testosterone
Libido
Blood Flow
If any of these 3 pillars are missing or compromised... well, it’s a non-starter.
Doctors dish out testosterone scripts because that’s the only part of the equation they know how to treat. They don’t have any answers for the other two pillars.
So, running to the doctor for supplemental testosterone is not the answer AND the side effects can be disastrous.
It was pretty clear to me that taking testosterone alone doesn’t make sense...
Because testosterone doesn’t equal sex drive.
There are millions of men with normal “T” levels but low sex drives.
And a strong sex drive is not connected to blood flow, but good blood flow is vital to achieving erections.
And finally, good blood flow has zero connection to testosterone levels, but testosterone is essential to the entire process.
Each pillar depends upon the other one doing its job...
And when all three pillars are firing in unison, it’s like a symphony!
Men re-experience:
Higher energy levels
Decreased body fat
Increased muscle mass
Improved mood
A kick-ass sex life
And much more...
The downward spiral stops!
Everything that goes into “being a man” depends upon all three pillars working together.
Now I was getting somewhere…
It occurred to me that most guys showing any of the symptoms we’ve mentioned could simply be missing that one piece of the puzzle...
They don’t realize just how close they are to turning things around!
Everything that goes into “being a man” depends upon all three pillars working together.
Now I was getting somewhere…
It occurred to me that most guys showing any of the symptoms we’ve mentioned could simply be missing that one piece of the puzzle...
They don’t realize just how close they are to turning things around!
My mission was clear: Determine the best way to optimize the three pillars at the same time…
First, we looked at the dozens and dozens of men’s health products on the market... and there are plenty!
Because if the answer was already out there, it would save us months of trial and error...
I will admit, some of these solutions weren’t all that bad. Several contained ingredients with promising studies behind them.
Others were borderline fraudulent.
I tossed those into the trash...
In the end, none of the solutions on the market addressed “the 3 pillars” we knew were at the core of the problem.
Finally, after conducting our own testing and wading through stacks of research, we came to a conclusion...
T20 is the equivalent of tossing gasoline on smoldering embers…
The fire is still there and all it takes is the right trigger.
I’m going to reveal these game-changing ingredients for you right now.
I'll also tell you which “pillar” they address.
Although some of them are so powerful, they pull double-duty across more than one pillar...
Pillar #1: Boosting Your Testosterone
Ingredient #1: Tongkat Ali
I HAVE to introduce you to the “testo-superstar” first...
But I have a confession to make... when I started my research, I had never heard of it.
It’s an obscure flowering plant found in Malaysia and Indochina.
But I discovered that this plant has been used for centuries as a testosterone booster. It goes by several names around the world, including Eurycoma longifolia and Long Jack.
In one article, Long Jack was responsible for a 37% increase in testosterone levels as compared with those in the study who took a placebo.[7]
A jump like that without taking testosterone injections is unheard of!
What I liked about it was HOW it increased testosterone levels.
It did it by freeing up much of the “trapped testosterone” I mentioned earlier. This means you never again have to rely on taking prescriptions.[8]
One study concluded that the longer users took Long Jack, the more pronounced the effect.[9]
You can finally release your natural testosterone stores, safely and easily.
NOTE: One thing... if you’re studying Long Jack and see anything less than a “100:1 ratio” you can toss it in the trash!
This simply means that 100 grams of the plant produce 1 gram of Long Jack extract.
If it’s not 100:1, that company took the cheap way out!
Don’t fall for it.
Ingredient #2: Tribulus Terrestris
The ingredient has been around for a long time.
It’s a mainstay in the bodybuilding community because of its known effect of boosting testosterone. Something bodybuilders crave!
But I didn’t rely on hearsay from bodybuilders... I wanted science. And I found plenty of it!
Tribulus has been proven to increase testosterone levels and sexual function. I was impressed by the fact that this effect was shown in both studies with rats and with humans.[10]
There’s no doubt that Tribulus is one of the most extensively studied testosterone boosters in the world.[11]
The highest-quality version of Trubulus flourishes around the moderate climate of the Mediterranean. This is the only source we’ll use.
These two ingredients make a powerful 1-2 punch for boosting testosterone naturally.
We conquered Pillar No. 1.
Pillar #2: Cranking Up A Failing Libido
Ingredient #3: Rhodiola Rosea
Libido is a tough thing to figure out.
If your libido is high, it usually means you’re feeling pretty good—both mentally and physically.
Right?
If you’re stressed... libido plummets.
If you’re fatigued... libido crashes.
If you’re sick... sexual activity is NOT the first thing on your mind.
If you’re depressed... no chance.
Well, Rhodiola is one of those herbs that minimizes the bad stuff going on in your body and maximizes the positive.
Scientists call substances like this “adaptogens”.
This powerful adaptogen has been used for centuries. In fact, ancient emperors sent secret hunting parties out to the coldest corners of the world to retrieve it.
You’ll only find Rhodiola in very cold climates like the Alps, the Arctic and Siberia.
Rhodiola is proven to:
Increase lifespan[12]
Relieve symptoms of depression[13]
Enhance physical performance
Reduce mental fatigue
Roll all this into one plant and you get a powerful libido trigger!
There was no way I could leave Rhodiola out of the libido equation
Ingredient #4 - Cordyceps Sinensis
Fungus.
Yes, it’s a fungus... but a very unique one.
Cordyceps is naturally distributed in the Tibetan Plateau as well as the Himalayas.
This stuff is so powerful and its benefits so well-documented that local leaders in the Himalayas where the fungus grows devised their own system of sustainable growth to protect the crop from outside speculators!
Everyone wants to get their hands on it.
One summary published in the Journal of Functional Foods detailed a study involving 189 men and women suffering from decreased libido and desire.
After treatment with Cordyceps Senensis the subjects showed improvement of symptoms and desire of 66% (Wan, Guo, & Deng, 1988).[14]
Imagine your libido jumping by two-thirds!?
There are also numerous studies proving Cordyceps reduces fatigue and boosts stamina for athletes.
It’s considered “one of the miracles of traditional Chinese medicine”.
Not surprisingly, it’s also been called “Himalayan Viagra”.[15]
I can’t think of a better fit for our solution!
----
Ok, so far we’ve boosted testosterone levels (Pillar 1) and lit a fire under your libido (Pillar 2).
It’s time for the third pillar...
Pillar #3: Improved Blood Flow
I mentioned that each pillar relies on the other pillars doing their job.
None of that is truer than right here...
You could have testosterone oozing from your pores, but if you have trouble with blood flow, an erection is impossible!
So how the heck do you improve blood flow?
Well, believe it or not, we’re back to our bodybuilders...
Bodybuilders LOVE the pump they get in their muscles when they train.
They learned a long time ago that there’s one chemical “in charge” of blood flow.
And then they figured out how to control it.
Nitric oxide (NO) is the big cheese of blood flow.
It opens up blood vessels which allows blood to flow where you need it most and when you need it most.
This is the same mechanism used by the famous blue pill we’re all familiar with!
But this substance is completely natural. It doesn’t leave you with headaches or dangerous blood pressure fluctuations like ED pills
Remember my earlier explanation from the Cleveland Clinic about how erections work?
Well, working backward, the chemicals that trigger that process work like this:
NO allows blood to flow into the penis
L-arginine is an amino acid that helps create your supply of NO
L-arginine has an enemy called arginase that limits your production of NO
Our next ingredient comes to the rescue by limiting the effect of arginase.
Ingredient #5: L-Norvaline
They call L-Norvaline a non-essential amino acid...
But it’s only “non-essential” if you don’t care about getting consistent erections!
This ingredient both disrupts arginase and promotes the production of Arginine.
The result is an increase in Nitric Acid in your body.
This helps ensure your “bedroom activities” are satisfying.
If we’re talking about blood flow, you know we had to talk about optimizing your circulation...
Avena Sativa is a proven natural “vasodilator”. This is a fancy way of saying that it relaxes the blood vessels to allow for better blood flow.[16]
Avena Sativa has the added benefit of being a mild, natural sedative. Stress is a major erection killer. But now you can sit back and enjoy yourself even more.
Combining L-Norvaline and Avena Sativa gives your blood flow the support it needs to be there when you need it.
