How did my levels get low in the first place?
A fact of getting older, testosterone declines as men age. During puberty, testosterone levels are at a lifetime peak and these levels begin to decline in the early to mid 20’s. As they drop a man is said to be in andropause.
Why are my male hormones low?
The effects of environmental pollutants including plastics and pesticides can cause the pituitary to slow prematurely and can damage testosterone-producing cells in the testicles. As environmental pollution rises it is more common for us to see clients in their mid to early thirties with low levels of male hormones.
Pre-existing medical conditions are also related to low Testosterone levels. If you have one of the following conditions we recommend getting your male hormones checked.
