Does Your Man Suffer from These Symptoms?

....depressed mood, pessimism, low sex drive, moodiness, withdrawal from normal relationships and activities and/or weight gain....

These symptoms are all signs of low testosterone levels.  After 35 years of age, testosterone levels typically decrease by 1% per year.  Prolonged periods of emotional/mental stress eventually lead to adrenal hypo-function which, in turn, leads to decreased DHEA levels, resulting in lowered testosterone production.

Low testosterone levels don't only affect sex drive, they are associated with heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and premature death (this rate doubles in men over 65).  Statins, which, it seems, most mature men are taking, cause lowered testosterone levels.  The Journal of Sexual Medicine reports a negative association between statin therapy and testosterone levels.  Adding testosterone replacement therapy did not correct the problem!  JAMA, in 2014, reported higher rates of heart attacks and deaths in those men on testosterone replacement therapy. 

Additionally, many older men suffering from low T levels also show increased visceral (abdominal) fat, also known as the "Apple-shaped" man.  This location of fat distribution is linked to cancer of the esophagus, kidney, pancreas and colon.  Interestingly, it has been shown that men's cancers are 20% more invasive than women's in the colon, rectum, lung and bronchi.

Early signs of low T levels (before lab tests indication) is a diminished number of early morning erections.  Low T levels in men are just as potentially serious as low estrogen levels in women.  Low T levels are also irreversible if free T is converted into estrogen, unless adequate levels of a very important mineral are re-established.  Then, and only then, can high estrogen in males be converted back into testosterone.

There is a very simple saliva test that can determine if low T levels exist, the cause and specific targeted protocols from both Standard Process and MediHerb to address these causes of low T levels, such as high levels of estrodiol, high androgen levels, high leutenizing hormone levels, high cortisol levels, low DHEA levels and other hormone imbalances.  BPH is also associated with aging and low T levels.  Specific protocol that include specialized formulations, dietary changes and lifestyle changes can be of tremendous help for those men dealing with lifestyle-interfering symptoms. 

If someone you know or love shows any of the indications of low T levels, encourage them to seek help, as these symptoms will most certainly lead to more serious problems in the future.
