The next part of this guide is going to be looking at some additional methods that can be added to just really top things off. If you really implement everything discussed so far, you will be 90% of the way there anyway, but I would be remiss to ignore these. **1. Creatine** This is an important one to mention for sure. Creatine directly increases DHT and studies have shown increases of up to 56%. You've likely all heard of this substance, as its very popular in the fitness space - its the most studied sport supplement in the world, and offers great benefits, but no one really discusses its hormonal effects. In this context, it boosts DHT by directly increasing the 5a-reductase enzyme activity, whilst also providing increases in mitochondrial function aswell which helps indirectly. In terms of integrating it in your life, it is found naturally in red meat, but really to get enough you would need about 2lbs of red meat per day which is just unreasonable for most. With this in mind, it is something I recommend supplementing with. 5g per day tends to be perfect. **2. HIIT/Sprints** This is another big one. As you all know by now, I'm a huge advocate for sprints. For heightmaxxing, getting lean, and also for general health. Well, another benefit of this exercise is significant DHT boosts. Sprints stimulate the HPG axis, causing increased testosterone and thus DHT (as we have more substrate for 5a-reductase to work with). On top of this, because sprints activate the sympathetic nervous system, we temporarily get increased lactate production, which is linked to increased androgen receptor activation and sensitivity. So, the combination of increased DHT and increased androgen receptor sensitivity basically leads to amplified benefits. **3. Lifestyle Changes** The final point to mention is just regarding general lifestyle. This is something I haven't talked much about in these hormone guides, but it's a super important aspect of all of this, especially when dealing with trying to boost androgens. In simple terms, you have to actually act as though you 'deserve' high androgens. Your brain is smart - if you're integrating everything in this guide but still live a lifestyle that doesnt align with the lifestyle of an androgenic person, you won't see the results. For example, exposing yourself to competition, taking leadership roles, following your purpose, going against the grain—these are all cues to your brain that you 'deserve' and actually require these androgens. If you simply live a stagnant and non-masculine lifestyle, you cant expect your body to produce these for no reason, even if you give it the right ingredients through taking action on the tips. This is the 'missing link' when it comes to boosting androgens, so definitely consider this. Another lifestyle point to make is just generally connecting with nature aswell. You need to be getting regular natural light exposure and sunlight, aswell as exposure to natural environments. You will get lower inflammation and improved circadian health, both of which are two factors that hormonal health highly depends on. The best way to really take action on this is to follow the nature alignment guide in the healthmaxxing module.
