THE AUTHOR
Luis Moreno González
Luis wrote The Low T Pandemic: how plastics, seed oils, sugar, sitting, screens, porn and bad sleep drag men’s testosterone down, and how to reclaim it with iron, sun, real food, a clean environment, deep sleep, a clean dopamine system, brothers and a mission.
Testo Maximus is that book turned into a daily game: a lifestyle T-Score, 30 days of Balls Maxxing, a 90-day protocol, a scanner for what you buy, and leagues to keep you honest.

Read the book
THE PROTOCOL IN ONE BREATH
Lift heavy. Sprint once a week. Move every day. Twenty minutes of sun. Zero seed oils. Sugar from fruit. Glass over plastic. Phone out of the bedroom. No porn. Find your brothers. Write your principles. Do one hard thing a week.
Everything in the app traces back to one of those lines, and every statistic in the app carries its citation.
THE ART
Why there are paintings in a habit app.
Because the men who built the classical world trained in the sun, ate what they could name and slept in the dark. The pictures are the standard. All of them are in the public domain or openly licensed; here is every one.
