I take vitamin D, try to get good sleep, eat in a manner that would encourage T production, reduced riding a bit and do some weight lifting.

You're not going to get the levels that you would if you went on a good TRT, but I think it will get you a bit of a boost.
Squats, dead lifts, pullups and benches (in order) have the highest hormonal response. Heavier the better as long as you avoid massive fatigue.
I've heard amazing things about a South American root called Maca... A few studies, but would like to see them replicated.
Also what lifters / body builders call, ZMA... B6, Zinc, and Magnesium have been shown to increase T in many studies. Not like shots but significantly.
If you don't mind some shots, I've read of people on HCG only with good results.
