Question: Are there any natural supplements that could raise my testosterone levels? What about lifestyle choices?
Answer: Firstly, as far as supplements go you have a few different options. Take note that, as with all supplements, not everyone will get the same results from the following products.
Maca is a cruciferous vegetable grown in Peru that contains plant sterols which have been shown to block and control the production of estrogen as well as boost testosterone production. In the past I would have told you that for maca to be effective you need to use 3-6 tablespoons per day of the whole maca root powder, not the extracts and not capsules. However, Dr. Wong, who I have great respect for, has recently come up with an awesome new maca product in capsule form which I have found to work quite well in everyone I’ve tried it with. And taking the capsules is a lot better than choking down six tablespoons per day. You will need to stick with this regimen for at least four weeks to see a positive increase in testosterone production. Click HERE for Dr. Wong’s new high strength maca supplement.

Question: Coach,
If you had to pick one best carb for lean bulking what would it be?

Answer: Jonathan, this one’s too easy; yams (essentially the exact same as sweet potatoes) win hands down. It’s been argued that the human body hasn’t adapted to eating grains like oats and brown rice. This is debatable and may or may not be true. Some people may have issues with grains, others may not. But I have never known anyone to have a problem with a root vegetable like sweet potatoes or yams. This is the ultimate “clean” carb and should be a staple in any muscle building diet. There is a place for white potatoes immediately after training but most of the time you should be focusing on sweet potatoes. Many of my clients follow a carb rotation diet and sometimes I have them eat nothing but lean protein and sweet potatoes at every meal on their carb days. They always wake up lean, full and vascular the next day. My colleague, nutrition expert, Tom Venuto, is a huge fan of yams and routinely walks around at low single digit body fat percentage.

Creation of Sun Warrior Protein
Sun Warrior Protein begins as raw, whole-grain brown rice, germinated to maximize the levels of bio-activity. Natural plant enzymes are introduced which digest almost all of the carbohydrates, leaving only easy-to-digest protein. Carefully monitored bio-fermentation of the organically-grown brown rice progresses steadily until the protein concentration reaches 85%. This leaves only pure amino acids in a form which the body can easily recognize and absorb. The result: an incredible 16 grams of protein in each 1 ½ tablespoon serving of Sun Warrior Protein!
