The Silent Crisis: Why Your Testosterone is Plummeting (And How to Fix It)
Feeling tired, weak, or unmotivated? It might not be age. Dr. Carlos Jaramillo reveals why modern men have 70% less testosterone than their grandfathers—and the natural roadmap to reclaim your drive.
Have you noticed your energy dipping? Your strength fading? Your drive disappearing? It’s easy to blame stress or simply "getting older."
But here is a shocking statistic Dr. Carlos Jaramillo shares: A 40-year-old man today has 70% less testosterone than a 40-year-old man did 30 years ago.
This isn't just about libido or building biceps. Testosterone is a critical hormone for heart health, mental clarity, and metabolic function—in both men and women. The modern world seems designed to destroy it, from poor sleep to environmental toxins. But you don't need injections to fix it. You need a biological reset.
Step 1: Sleep is the Factory
Testosterone isn't made in the gym; it's made in bed. Specifically, during deep sleep. Dr. Jaramillo explains that restricting sleep or suffering from sleep apnea (snoring) is one of the fastest ways to crash your hormone levels.
The Savvy Fix: Magnesium
To optimize deep sleep, you need to calm the nervous system. Savvy Renew (Magnesium Glycinate) is essential here. It improves sleep quality, allowing your body to enter the restorative phases where testosterone production peaks.

Body fat contains an enzyme called aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen. The more belly fat you have, the more you are actively lowering your testosterone.
The antidote? Strength Training. Muscle mass signals the body to produce more testosterone. Dr. Jaramillo recommends lifting heavy things 3-4 times a week.
But you can't build muscle without bricks. You need Protein.
Step 3: Feed Your Hormones
Testosterone is made from cholesterol (yes, healthy fats are good!) and requires specific micronutrients to be synthesized. If you are deficient in these, your production halts.
Vitamin D & Zinc
Essential for testosterone synthesis. Get some sun and eat nuts (like Brazil nuts).
Magnesium
It lowers cortisol (the hormone that kills testosterone) and supports recovery. Most men are deficient.
Amino Acids
You need sufficient protein to signal anabolism (growth) rather than catabolism (breakdown).
The Natural Recovery Protocol
Don't look for shortcuts. Build the foundation. Savvy provides the clean, high-quality tools you need to support your body's natural hormone production.
