Steroids, Drugs, Cholesterol and more?
Today I want to talk to you about a lesser known cause of male sex drive…
Allopregnanolone.
What the heck is this Allopregnanolone?
It’s a neurosteroid.
A steroid that lives in your brain and is responsible for increasing the receptivity of GABA receptors.
GABA is a neurotransmitter. It puts you “in the mood.”
It makes you calm, and just like dopamine, plays a critical role in sexual desire.
When the GABA receptors are more receptive, more GABA can be received.
And GABA has been shown to reduce anxiety and regulate our emotions…
Which is why Prozac (a popular anti-depressant) is often prescribed to increase levels of allopregnanolone, among other hormone changes.
But as you know from yesterday’s email, antidepressants release prolactin, which is the number one killer for your sex drive.
So how do we get more allopregnanolone naturally?
Mainly by increasing cholesterol.
Cholesterol is the main “building block” and can be found in red meats, butter, eggs, shellfish, and organ meats.
If you’d like a quick and easy way to get ALL your vitamin needs to maximize dopamine and allopregnanolone levels (plus something a little special), check out Fire.
You’ll also gain the building blocks for dopamine (L-dopa) from Mucuna Pruriens, a herb widely used to restore our nervous and reproductive system.
Plus, a host of other herbal goodness that trigger dopamine production.
Let’s restore that primal lust in you.
