Men's Health
Testosterone levels decrease with age, and start declining when a man reaches the age of 30 to 35. Low or suboptimal testosterone levels are often termed andropause, also known as male menopause. Factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and age all contribute to the decline of testosterone production. This treatment can help to regulate your hormones, which can have a positive impact on your energy levels, mood, and sleep patterns. Hormone therapy is safe and effective for most men, and it's an affordable way to improve your health and quality of life.
Hormonal Imbalance
If you're feeling sluggish, run down, and just not like your old self, it could be low testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone that regulates energy levels, fat distribution, and muscle strength in men. As men age, their bodies produce less and less testosterone. Low testosterone can cause fatigue, weight gain, moodiness, and a loss of interest in sex. Luckily, there are treatments available to help bring your testosterone levels back up to where they should be.
