Hormone Health for Fitness and Exercise

This health and fitness course explores science-based strategies used to optimise hormones and increase testosterone. We outline the role of various hormones such as insulin, glucagon, adrenaline, oestrogen and so on in terms of muscle growth and fitness. We then explain how to lower the stress hormone cortisol and provide some proven anti-stress strategies. We also describe various foods and supplements that can boost human testosterone levels.

The course shows you how dietary fat, protein and the timing of meals influence hormone production. Are you wondering how the right diet can naturally enhance our hormones? This course explains how a beginner dietician can develop a diet plan that boosts testosterone. We also analyse the role of meal structure in determining the optimal amount of protein, carbohydrates and fat to consume and discuss how calories and carbohydrates (carbs) affect testosterone levels. The course then shows you how to plan the right workout to optimise testosterone that includes squats, deadlifts and ‘military’ presses.

The course then describes high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and explains how to use it to lose weight. We also examine the role that sleep plays in our lives and provide tips to help you conquer insomnia and fall asleep quickly. Are cold showers really effective at boosting testosterone? We discuss such popular perceptions in detail before identifying which foods can help people cope with stress and depression.
