Understanding Hormone Deficiencies in Men

Low testosterone, or "low T," is a common issue that affects millions of men in the United States. As men age, their bodies produce less testosterone, leading to potential deficiency signs and symptoms like:

• Low energy and fatigue
• Decreased muscle mass and strength
• Increased body fat and difficulty losing weight
• Reduced libido and sexual function
• Loss of motivation and depression

Catching and addressing hormone deficiencies in men early on can prevent long-term health consequences and drastically improve quality of life.

Assessing Your Hormone Levels

Getting tested is the only way to diagnose if you have low testosterone levels warranting treatment.

• When to test: Testing should begin after age 30, with levels checked every 2-3 years or if deficiency symptoms arise.
• What to test: In addition to testosterone, evaluating levels of estradiol, cortisol, thyroid hormones, etc., gives a complete hormonal picture.
• Where to test: Finding an experienced physician and lab for testing is key to proper diagnosis.

Work with a knowledgeable men's health specialist to understand your hormonal status and whether you are a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy.

Table 1: Optimal Testosterone Ranges by Age

Age Group	Normal Total T Level	Normal Free T Level
20-39 years	460-950 ng/dL	95-210 pg/mL
40-59 years	350-890 ng/dL	75-210 pg/mL
60 years	350-720 ng/dL	35-155 pg/mL

Reference ranges can vary slightly by lab

Diagnosing the Underlying Cause

There are several potential reasons testosterone production declines, including:

• Secondary hypogonadism - pituitary gland signaling issues
• Other hormone imbalances - high cortisol, estrogen, prolactin
• Medications
• Inflammation
• Health conditions - obesity, diabetes, etc.

Determining the root cause through testing allows for tailored treatment plans that best resolve the deficiency.

Myth: T therapy causes prostate cancer

Fact: Extensive research proves testosterone does NOT cause prostate cancer cell growth.

Myth: T therapy leads to uncontrolled rage

Fact: Studies show no link between properly administered testosterone and aggressive anger.

Myth: Heart health risks outweigh benefits

Fact: Latest research indicates testosterone therapy can improve heart health in men over age 65 when correctly dosed.

Myth: Boosting T will shrink testicles

Fact: Natural testicle function may lessen on therapy, but size differences are typically negligible.

Myth: Positive effects are all in your head

Fact: The wide range of physical and mental benefits of testosterone therapy are very real and backed by an abundance of medical research.

Table 2: Testosterone Therapy Myths vs. Facts

Myth	Fact
Causes prostate cancer	Does NOT cause prostate cancer cell growth
Leads to uncontrolled rage	No link between properly administered testosterone and aggressive anger
Heart health risks outweigh benefits	Can improve heart health in older men with correct dosing
Boosting T will shrink testicles	Natural testicle function may lessen, but size differences are typically negligible
Positive effects are all in your head	The many benefits are very real and medically supported

Stay informed with science-based facts - testosterone therapy done properly and under medical supervision is safe and life-enhancing for men with low T.

Lifestyle Keys for Optimizing Therapy Results

Adjusting lifestyle is vital for achieving the greatest gains from testosterone therapy. Top recommendations include:

Exercise - Engage in strength and cardio exercise most days of the week to boost energy, build muscle, burn fat, and support heart health. Mix up routines with weights, intervals, sports, etc.

Nutrition - Eat a balanced, nutrient-dense diet high in produce, lean proteins, healthy fats, and micronutrients that nourish hormones and health. Stay well-hydrated daily.

Sleep - Prioritize getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to optimize hormone production, mental clarity, immune function, and heal/recover. Develop good sleep habits without screens before bed.

Stress management - Chronic stress raises cortisol, which opposes testosterone. Practice regular relaxation techniques - yoga, deep breathing, meditation, nature immersion. Confide in close friends/family for support.

Limit alcohol - Heavy alcohol consumption lowers testosterone. Moderate intake to 1-2 drinks daily maximum, taking regular dry days.

Making positive lifestyle changes amplifies the revitalizing effects of testosterone therapy, helping men feel their best. Our men's health experts provide individualized guidance on adopting healthy lifestyle strategies.

Mental Health Considerations

Low testosterone often interacts with mental health issues like depression, anxiety, brain fog, lack of motivation, and emotional numbness.

Research shows testosterone therapy works at the neurological level to:

• Increase activity in reward/motivation centers
• Improve communication between brain hemispheres
• Stimulate the growth of nerve connections
• Reduce inflammation damaging brain tissue

By elevating testosterone levels, mental well-being often rebounds - mood lifts, thinking clarifies, drive re-ignites, and enjoyment returns.

Our clinicians evaluate mental health and can incorporate counseling, stress-reduction training, and advanced techniques like neurofeedback to target anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship discord, and performance.

We consider biohacking cognitive & emotional function essential for men to thrive socially and professionally.

Testosterone and Longevity

Extensive research links healthy testosterone levels to longer lifespan and delayed aging in men.

Testosterone helps maintain:

• Muscle mass and strength
• Bone mineral density
• Cognitive ability
• Lung and kidney function
• Skin thickness and hydration

All of which tend to decline with advances in age.

Correlations indicate men with total testosterone < 200 ng/dL in older age succumb to illness/disease earlier.

The regenerative properties of testosterone make it a vital aspect of longevity medicine - helping men live not just longer but better.

Our clinic offers advanced biohacking therapies using peptides, exosomes, and adult stem cells to help turn back the hands of time.
