A touch of grey doesn’t bother most men, but getting in touch with hormonal balance may become a struggle with age. In recognition of Men’s Health Month, the physicians at Weight Success Centers are discussing the matter of male hormones.
Andropause and Age-Related Changes in Male Hormones
First, it is important to understand the age-related changes a man experiences as male hormones fluctuate. Much like female menopause, this stage is referred to as “andropause” or “male menopause” as testosterone begins decreasing and androgen deficiencies occur.
Typically, male hormones begin a slow decline after the age of 30. Men then experience more significant testosterone decreases in the mid-40s, 50s, and 60s. Symptoms may include:
-Lower sex drive, sexual dysfunction, or erectile dysfunction (ED).
-Weight gain, decreased muscle mass, or fatigue.
-Hormone-related hair loss, sleep issues, or physical changes.
-Increased risks of developing chronic conditions or illnesses.
At Weight Success Centers, our physicians help men take control of these health matters. Men may want to combat andropause symptoms and increase stamina through nutritional plans, exercise programs, medical treatments, or hormone therapies to increase testosterone levels and balance male hormones.
Supplements for Men and Bioidentical Hormone Therapies (BHT)
Generally, a heart-healthy lifestyle coupled with good nutrition and exercise are at the heart of achieving a healthy hormonal balance for men. The right supplements or Bioidentical Hormone Therapies (BHT), however, may also give men a boost in achieving optimal vitality.
Today’s man has access to physician-led support and guidance for the most effective options. Based on each man’s unique needs and medical exams, the experts at Weight Success Centers will provide a full evaluation. Customized treatment plans and referrals are important to address any symptoms, circulatory issues, or underlying conditions affecting hormonal balance.
Weight Success Centers is certified in prescribing and administering BioTE, a subcutaneous pellet type of BHT for men with a medical diagnosis of hormonal imbalances. These are not synthetic drugs. BioTE hormones are identical to a male’s natural hormones. After being administered, the pure hormone pellets slowly dissolve to provide months of symptom relief.
As with any supplement or medical treatment, results and benefits will vary depending on each individual person. The physicians and experts at Weight Success Centers are always prepared to provide more information about these and other solutions for hormonal balance.
