Get More Energy, Strength, and Vitality with These Expert Tips
At Empower Men’s Health, we believe that Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) isn’t just about increasing testosterone levels—it’s about total body optimization. Many men start TRT expecting instant results, but achieving peak energy, strength, and performance requires the right strategy.
Dr. Jason Chiriano, a leader in men’s health and regenerative medicine, is sharing three essential tips to help you get the most out of your TRT journey. Follow these expert recommendations to build muscle, enhance energy, and optimize your overall well-being.
1. Prioritize Strength Training for Maximum Gains
TRT can enhance muscle growth, but it won’t build muscle without proper training. Strength training is crucial for activating testosterone-driven muscle development.
Why it matters:
- Stimulates muscle growth and enhances fat-burning potential
- Boosts natural testosterone production by challenging the body
- Improves bone density and joint health, reducing the risk of injury
What to do:
- Focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups
- Train 3-4 times per week with a mix of heavy lifting and resistance training
- Give your muscles time to recover and rebuild for optimal strength gains
2. Optimize Your Sleep to Support Testosterone Production
Many men overlook sleep, but poor rest can sabotage your TRT progress. Sleep is when the body repairs itself, and it’s also when testosterone production is at its peak.
Why it matters:
- Lack of sleep lowers testosterone levels and increases cortisol, leading to fatigue and weight gain
- Poor sleep affects muscle recovery, metabolism, and mood regulation
- Deep sleep enhances growth hormone release, which helps maximize TRT benefits
What to do:
- Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night
- Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up routine
- Reduce blue light exposure from screens at least one hour before bed
- Consider magnesium, melatonin, or a nighttime routine to enhance sleep quality
3. Dial in Your Nutrition for Hormonal Balance
What you eat plays a direct role in how well your body responds to TRT. Nutrient-rich foods help regulate hormones, support muscle growth, and prevent fat gain, which can counteract the benefits of TRT.
Why it matters:
- Processed foods and sugar can lead to insulin resistance, which disrupts testosterone function
- A balanced diet fuels energy levels and supports lean muscle mass
- Certain nutrients—like zinc, vitamin D, and healthy fats—help maintain hormonal balance
What to do:
- Prioritize lean proteins (chicken, beef, fish, eggs) to support muscle growth
- Eat healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) to aid testosterone production
- Include fiber-rich carbohydrates (vegetables, whole grains) for sustained energy
- Avoid excessive alcohol and processed foods that can disrupt metabolic health
