Testosterone levels in men are declining at an alarming rate. Most men between ages 25 and 50 who are tested at my office have levels around 300 ng/dL or lower, when they would feel their best at around 800 ng/dL. Low testosterone leaves men with a range of symptoms and weakens their long-term health.
This hormone is powerful and necessary for a variety of biological processes. It is associated with improved energy, cognitive function, healthy muscle mass, healthy sexual function, and even improved cardiovascular health. In a report published by Nature in 2018, men with low testosterone levels were more likely to have multiple chronic health conditions.
