Low T

Causes

LOW T

Hormonal imbalances aren’t caused by just one thing, but by a combo of both internal and external factors. Some of these factors are within your control—but many aren’t! This can include things like normal aging, a diet high in processed foods, a sedentary lifestyle, high stress levels, genetic disposition (imbalance that runs in the family), exposure to toxins in your environment, or surgeries that affect one or more of the organs and glands in the endocrine system.

Low libido, ED, and loss of muscle mass are often caused by low testosterone—but they can also be caused by other imbalances such as thyroid, estrogen (yes, men have estrogen, too!), DHEA, and human growth hormone.

Low Libido

While it's natural for your sex drive to decrease with age, Low T can reduce your sex drive even further. It can happen at any age.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects about 40% of men by age 40. That number increases with age—but it’s actually NOT a normal part of aging.
