Personal care products that feminize you
Welcome to Burning Anchor: the masculine lifestyle optimization newsletter
Good morning. This is Burning Anchor; the newsletter that's like a fortress to protect your testosterone against a seige of feminization
In today’s email:
Common men’s care products that destroy your Testosterone
The missing exercise from most men’s training (anabolic sprints)
Reminder…
This is the second email in an series on detoxification of testosterone destroying toxins.
(In case you missed it: week 1 was about clothes that destroys testosterone)
Here’s why this topic is so damn important:
Our world is full of testosterone destroying toxins.
These toxins can be found in a shocking number of products that we all use daily.
Chances are you probably used a product that contains a T-destroying toxin today.
Trying to improve your Testosterone while you’re still exposed to these toxins is like pissing into the wind.
A simple directional shift will mean less piss all over yourself.
This email series is your directional shift.
So lets get into it….
T-boosting tip: stop using personal care products that destroy testosterone
Every day you wake up and brush your teeth with toothpaste.
Wash your skin with soap and your hair with shampoo.
You lather on some deodorant.
Spray on cologne.
Ans if the sun is out you may slap on some suncream.
Etc etc…
You already know where I’m going with this right?
Most personal care products are full of shit that destroy your hormones.
Yes that’s right…not only does that shitty floral-scented shampoo make you smell like a girl…its fucking turning you into one!
The amount of suspicious chemicals used in personal care products is so damn widespread that I had a hard time writing this email.
I had no idea where to start…
And I don’t want to overwhelm you.
So I’m going to give you a few quick links if you want to understand this on a deeper level…
…and then I’m going to give you some product recommendations so you can start swapping your feminizing creams for safer alternatives.
The links:
Here’s a 2 minute clip of Joe Rogan & Ben Greenfield talking about the problem at a high level. This is a basic but good enough overview
Here’s a 13 minute video of a guy walking around in a supermarket looking at labels. He also recommends what to avoid and alternatives to most products.
And if you really want to dive in: rogue doctor-turned-educator Anthony Jay (wrote the book Estrogeneration) has a solid YouTube channel. I’d recommend watching a few of his videos.
And if you just want an start eliminating your exposure follow these two simple steps:
1/ Get rid of your toxic products
Look at the ingredients of your personal care products and anything that comes into contact with your skin (like your laundry detergent).
If it contains any chemicals that you can’t pronounce?
Bin.
Or at least look up those chemicals so you understand what you’re putting onto your skin (and hence into your bloodstream)
2/ Start buying non-feminizing alternatives
From this day forward buy your cosmetics according to this motto:
“If you wouldn’t eat it…don’t put it on your skin”
In other words:
ONLY use personal care products made from natural ingredients (no chemicals)
Here are a three resources to get you started:
Thrive market - online retailer selling all types of natural products
iHerb - I buy most of my supplements here but they also sell natural products
Van Man - sells tallow based soaps, natural toothpastes and magnesium deodorant.
Not a huge list I know.
But don’t ignore this…
Do a little research and start removing toxic cosmetics from your life.
Your manhood depends on it.
Post of the week: anabolic sprinting protocol
Lifting weights is good for you Testosterone.
You already knew that.
The missing link in most training schedule is anabolic sprints…
Every man knows that lifting heavy weights is good for Testosterone
But its not enough
Here's what most men are missing in their training:
Anabolic running
All you need is one 15 minute session per week:
1) Sprint 25m at 100% effort
2) Then do a 30 second swiss-ball wrestle… x.com/i/web/status/1…
