Declining levels of testosterone are a normal part of aging, but if you have symptoms that disrupt your life, there is a solution.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and Testosterone Therapy are common treatments for aging adults who experience the symptoms of decreasing levels of hormones as they get older.

Men often experience a phenomenon, called andropause, which causes lowered production of testosterone.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can be helpful in relieving symptoms such as chronic fatigue, loss of muscle tone, loss of strength, poor body composition, depression, sleep disorders, lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction (ED).

Testosterone and your body

During adolescence, men’s bodies begin to produce substantially more testosterone, and as adults, men have substantially higher levels than women. 

As the hormone messenger that triggers male physiology and function, testosterone plays a significant role by: 

·       Deepening your voice

·       Causing the growth of body, facial, and pubic hair

·       Contributing to increased bone and muscle mass

·       Influencing sexual development

·       Increasing libido

·       Contributing to memory development and reasoning ability 

Testosterone continues to regulate your sexual function and physical condition throughout your life. This important hormone even plays a role in keeping your heart healthy because it helps your body produce red blood cells. 

After about the age of 30, testosterone levels begin to decline dramatically, frequently leading to a lower libido, decline in physical condition, and other negative effects. 

How you feel with less testosterone

Testosterone deficiency initially may not be very noticeable, but once this deficiency reaches a certain point, you may begin to notice effects on your health.

Some symptoms include: 

·       Increased body fat

·       Loss of muscle tone and muscle mass

·       Poor Recovery

·       Loss of energy / chronic fatigue

·       Lack of focus and mental clarity

·       Lost motivation

·       Mood changes such as depression

·       Sleep disorders

·       Loss of Sex Drive / Libido

·       Erectile and Sexual dysfunction

·       Decreased bone density

·       Changes in your cholesterol composition

Some of these symptoms can impact and worsen others. For example, when you lose muscle mass, you may see an increase in body fat because your body doesn’t burn calories as efficiently. 

Testosterone Replacement Therapy 

Once it has determined that low testosterone is causing your symptoms, we may recommend TRT. Five improvements you’re likely to see include: 

1. Increased energy levels

Rather than fatigue and listlessness, you’re likely to feel invigorated and witness your energy level increasing along with your endurance. 

2. Renewed sex drive

If you’ve felt the effects of lower testosterone in the bedroom, you may find that your libido returns with TRT. 

3. Rebuilt muscle mass

If your efforts at the gym weren’t providing the expected results, TRT may help. Weight and resistance exercises produce better results when your testosterone levels are balanced. As a bonus, TRT helps boost your metabolism. 

4. Goodbye, body fat! 

More muscle mass, increased energy levels, and a boost to your metabolism combine to make it easier to lose excess weight — especially the so-called “spare tire” that may have accumulated around your waist. 

5. More focus and better concentration

Once you begin TRT and your hormone levels reach a more optimal balance, you may find that you can think more clearly. You may also enjoy a more stabilized mood and better sleep!
