LOW T CAN CAUSE MANY ISSUES FOR A MAN

Symptoms of Low T

Symptoms of Low T or low testosterone have huge impacts on a man’s life, health, and overall experiences. It can affect his mood, weight, and sexual performance. This combination of symptoms is often referred to as Andropause, or “the male menopause.”

While it can seem daunting and oftentimes hopeless, it is not! But before we jump the gun, let’s talk about how this may be showing up for you. If you are experiencing one or more of these issues you may be experiencing low testosterone levels:

 

• Low Sex Drive
• Memory Loss
• Increased Irritability and Tiredness
• A Reduction in Ambition, Focus, and Stamina
• Erection Problems & Decreased Sexual Performance
• Loss of Strength and Muscle
• Increased Blood Sugar or Diabetes
• Bad Cholesterol and Heart Disease
• Depression and Mood Swings
• Weight Gain

“Your testosterone levels begin to decline about 1% per year after 30 years old.”  

 

The symptoms of low testosterone are often brushed aside as signs of aging and chalked up to an unfixable reality. What most folks don’t realize is that these symptoms can be easily corrected with a proper assessment to find the cause of Low T and a comprehensive hormone treatment plan that may incorporate testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) if needed. We know, we know…it’s a beautiful thing.

Causes of Low T can include aging, illness(es), medications, environmental toxins, stress, and lifestyle factors like diet and lack of exercise.
