TESTOSTERONE: MEN

LIFEFORCE Medical Institute / Highland Park Low T

What is testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone secreted primarily by the testicles in men. It is the primary male sex hormone, responsible for male sexual development and critical in maintaining erectile function, libido, normal energy levels, healthy body composition, cognition and resistance to many chronic diseases. Testosterone also controls a whole range of physiological functions throughout the body.

What causes low testosterone?

Testosterone levels decline with age, beginning when a man is in his thirties. By the age of 80 it is only 1/5 of what it was in youth. In addition to aging, stress can also play a role in lowering testosterone levels. Increased estrogen levels (due to obesity, a high-fat diet, alcohol consumption, and low levels of serum zinc) and insulin-resistance in men can further reduce free testosterone levels.

Low testosterone levels have been linked to common health issues such as:

Alzheimer's Disease
Type II Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Muscle Wasting
Loss of Sex Drive
Erectile Dysfunction
