What is low testosterone?
Testosterone influences more than most people realize. It plays a role in energy, strength, focus, mood, libido, and overall performance.
When levels begin to decline, the change is usually subtle at first. Things don’t stop working. They just don’t work as well. Over time, that difference becomes more noticeable.
Who should get tested for low testosterone
What causes low testosterone
Low testosterone is rarely caused by a single issue and is more often the result of multiple contributing factors working together. Common causes include age related hormone decline, chronic stress and elevated cortisol, poor or inconsistent sleep, weight gain and metabolic changes, reduced physical activity or ineffective training, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications, and underlying health conditions. Identifying what is contributing allows us to take a more precise and effective approach to treatment.
