Normal only means you landed somewhere inside a very wide range.

For total testosterone, that range can run from about 6 all the way up to 30.

So a bloke who's flat by two in the afternoon gets the same answer as a bloke who wakes up firing.

Mine sat at 20.8, well inside it, so nobody was ever going to flag it.

I read it against optimal ranges instead and followed my own protocol.

My retest came back at 33.8.

I've done the same with over 200 men, and plenty of them had already been told their bloods were fine.

Back then my gut never settled, I was putting on weight, I couldn't sleep and I had no energy.

I did everything the PT and nutrition courses told me, and I was still tired and my body barely changed.

The doctors kept offering me another prescription, so I put everything I had into studying at the best functional medicine institutes in the world.

It was never my discipline or my diet.

Nobody had ever read my body as one system.

Once I learned to, my testosterone doubled and my gut fully recovered.

I've since used the same method, the Human Blueprint, with more than 200 men in eight countries.

More often than not, the gut's where it starts.

Bloating, reflux and a gut that's all over the place feed inflammation, and that inflammation pulls a man's hormones down.

So a bloke can take every booster on the shelf and still go nowhere, which is why the gut is one of the first places I look.

Aaron raised his natural testosterone by 58% in eight weeks.

Dylan put on 5kg of muscle and raised his testosterone by 55% in twelve weeks.

John runs a business with more than 50 staff, and he fixed his gut and dropped 10kg in twelve weeks.

They're all flat out running businesses, so the training I give them takes under three hours a week.

It happened to me when the business got busy and I was running on long days, rising stress, caffeine and nicotine.

A man who never switches off stays in fight or flight, and his body stops caring about digestion, deep sleep or making testosterone.

That's why the right diet and the right supplements can still stall.

The third stage of my Human Blueprint is nervous system retraining, which is what makes everything else stick.

It starts with breathwork, morning light and a wind-down routine, and none of them take more than ten minutes.

Austin plays professional football in the A-League, and he says he's been able to manage his stress, control and attack it in ways he didn't think he could.
