Low Testosterone in Men is Common & Treatable
Low testosterone is a common health condition men experience as they age, resulting in a wide variety of unwanted symptoms. Hormone therapy can help you balance your hormone levels and reduce (or eliminate) symptoms.
It’s commonly believed that hormone therapy is just for women. But low testosterone affects more than 2% of men — nearly 5,000 individuals in Sonoma County. Commonly referred to as ‘Lot T’ — the unwanted symptoms can range from uncomfortable to debilitating.
Testosterone Keeps You Feeling Strong
Throughout your life, your body naturally produces hormones. These act as chemical messengers, traveling through your blood to deliver commands to your organs and tissue. Testosterone is a male sex hormone made in the testicles. One of the key things it impacts is your sex drive, but it also plays a significant role in the rest of your body’s functionality.
Low Testosterone Symptoms
The common misconception is that hormone imbalances are a health issue that only plagues women. But men experience hormone imbalances just as frequently, resulting in a wide range of unwanted symptoms. These symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Decreased sex drive
- Decreased sexual performance
- Erectile dysfunction
- Inability to maintain muscle mass
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Heart disease
- Osteoporosis
- Short- and long-term memory loss
- Irritability
- Decreased motivation
- Prostate cancer
Treating Low Testosterone Naturally
There’s this societal idea that men should just ‘grin and bear it” when they’re hurting or uncomfortable. But there’s nothing about suffering from Low T that makes you weak. Natural hormone treatment gives you the freedom to prioritize your health goals — helping you regain the strength of your youth, while still benefiting from the wisdom of your experience.
Traditional testosterone treatments typically take a one-size-fits-all approach, using a synthetic hormone replacement therapy. Unfortunately, this doesn’t address the underlying cause of symptoms. Nor does it introduce a hormone replacement that the body will accept.
