For MEN - Hormones 101 Hormones are your body’s most underrated helpers and the importance of them are often ignored. (And yes, unbalanced hormones is NOT just a thing for the ladies.) Hormones are important for your mood, libido, immune system and more. We all have important hormones that help your body systems - from growth hormones to insulin to regulating your heartbeat. TESTOSTERONE Did you know that an average man’s testosterone levels decrease 1-2% each year? Often called a mid-life crisis, Low T, or manopause. This means that by the time you’ve reached your 40’s, you’ve lost almost half of your hormones. When your testosterone levels start to change – so can your quality of life. Testosterone affects your reproductive system, muscle mass and many other systems. Unbalanced hormones affect other areas of your life such as:
- Difficulty getting erections
- Decreased libido
- Lower energy
- Depression
- Loss of muscle mass
- Decrease in body fat
