Low Testosterone

Did you know that since 1950 testosterone levels in men have been dropping up to one percent a year? 

If that doesn’t get your attention, maybe this will: Today the average 20-year-old male has the testosterone level a 70-year-old male had in the year 2000.  Average testosterone dropped over 50% in the last two decades.

Testosterone is essential for quality of life in both males and females. Men are especially impacted by T deficiency. A man with low testosterone will experience memory/recall issues, have slower spatial reason, lower sex drive, and less muscle mass. Low T levels in men contribute to depression and obesity. 

Testosterone is critical for:

• Cardiovascular health

• Cognitive function

• Fertility

• Metabolism

• Mood

• Muscle strength

Telltale signs of low testosterone in females:

• Anxiety

• Changes in bone density

• Decreased interest in sex and difficulty climaxing during intercourse

• Difficulty concentrating and short-term memory loss

• Dry or thinning skin

• Fatigue and exhaustion

• Hair loss or thinning hair

• Loss of muscle mass

• Mood swings or low mood

• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

Telltale signs of low testosterone in males:

• Chronic fatigue or tiredness

• Decreased bone density

• Decreased lean muscle mass

• Decreased volume of semen

• Diminished sex drive

• Erectile dysfunction

• Hair loss and/or lack of hair growth

• Mood irregularities

• Obesity or gaining fat

• Sleep problems

What’s causing the decrease in testosterone levels?

When I work with male or female clients with suspected hormone imbalances, we run the DUTCH test to assess hormone and cortisol levels and then we address foundations:

• Circadian rhythm

• Drainage

• Liver support

• Metabolic resistance

• Stress
