Over the last 50 years, average testosterone levels in men have been steadily declining. Factors like chronic stress, nutrient-poor diets, sedentary lifestyle, environmental toxins (Hello, Calgary city living!), and poor sleep have created a perfect storm for low testosterone- and it’s affecting men’s health at every age.
Signs of low testosterone:
*Fatigue and lack of motivation
*Decreased libido
*Brain or trouble concentrating
*Loss of muscle tone or weight gain
*Mood swings, depression
When they start to notice changes, men are often prescribed things like antidepressants, weight-loss medications, or other symptom-focused drugs that don’t address the root issue and can come with side-effects.
Why not address the reason behind the symptoms?
Many men are denied testosterone therapy unless they have a severe deficiency. Lab ranges compare you to other men in your age; not to what’s ideal for your personal health. The thing is, symptoms can still occur if your levels are within “normal” range.
What does the research say?
Research shows that optimizing testosterone levels (not just treating deficiencies) can help men stay leaner, stronger, more energized, and more focused. The benefits are amplified even more in later years.
You see, testosterone is not just about reproduction; it’s about vitality. Testosterone impacts metabolism, muscle strength, brain health, and overall wellbeing. Optimizing your levels can make a massive difference in how you age- not necessarily to ‘fight’ aging, but to age stronger and with purpose. With optimization, many men notice improved muscle strength, increased energy, better mental clarity and mood, enhanced metabolism, reduced belly fat, and better heart and bone health over time. True health isn’t about masking symptoms, it’s about treating the real cause so you can thrive.
