    • Exercise

      Exercise plays a crucial role in enhancing sexual desire and overall health. Mark Hyman emphasizes that strength training, particularly for men, can boost testosterone levels, which is vital for both men and women in maintaining sexual function. Interval training also helps by reducing cortisol and boosting growth hormone levels, further supporting testosterone production 1.

      Exercise not only discharges stress, improves insulin sensitivity, but strength training in particular, particularly in men, actually increases testosterone levels.
