Based on my last cholesterol test, I’ve successfully raised my healthy HDL cholesterol to peak levels. This is important, because as a 41 year old dad of two young kids, one of my main goals is optimizing my testosterone levels.

By increasing my cholesterol levels, it seemed to be a prime contributor in helping me double my testosterone levels from the low 300s to the 600s.

How To Boost Your Good HDL Cholesterol Levels
A few years ago, I shared a video post on how I doubled my testosterone levels. Long story short, after getting my blood tested, my doctor, who at the time was also my personal training client, was shocked to see that my testosterone levels were in the low 300s.

My naturopathic doctor covered the importance of raising my cholesterol levels in order to optimize my hormones, especially testosterone.

Foods That Boost HDL Cholesterol
My naturopathic doctor recommended that I consume more healthy fats, particularly saturated fats and monounsaturated fats, to boost my HDL cholesterol levels:

Eggs
Grass fed beef
Cold water fish and Omega 3 fish oil
Nuts and seeds
Avocado
Coconut oil
Avocado oil
Olive oil
Grass fed butter

What Is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is found in all your cells. It is primarily produced by your liver, as well as from the foods you consume.

Your body needs cholesterol to:
Build cells
Improve brain function
Make vitamins, including all important vitamin D
Optimize hormones, including testosterone

Over the years, the focus has begun to shifted from total cholesterol levels to a combination of a specific bad type of cholesterol and triglycerides levels.

Triglycerides To HDL Ratio
Research now points to a high ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol as the major predictor of extensive coronary disease. A general rule of thumb is having a triglycerides to HDL ratio of less than 2 is optimal. When the ratio is more than 4, it’s considered high.

HDL Vs. LDL Cholesterol: What’s The Difference?
Your total cholesterol levels are broken down into two different types of cholesterol:
HDL cholesterol
LDL cholesterol

HDL cholesterol is typically referred to as the good cholesterol, as higher levels of HDL may lower the risk of heart disease.

LDL cholesterol is typically referred to as the bad cholesterol. Excessive LDL cholesterol can build up on your blood vessel walls, thus increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

The other heart disease marker to monitor are your triglyceride levels.

What Are Triglycerides?
Triglycerides are fats found in the bloodstream. As your triglycerides levels go up, it’s likely that your levels of the dangerous small dense LDL particles will also go up, and your levels of good HDL cholesterol goes down.

That’s a nasty combination to increase your risk of heart disease.
