What Does Low T Look Like?

What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word "testosterone"? For many, the first thoughts are about sex, muscles, and mood. However, testosterone is responsible for much more than that. Let's discuss how testosterone impacts your energy levels, mental clarity, ability to lose weight, mental health, and even bone density!

Typically, when a patient calls our office for hormone therapy, it’s not because they are feeling their best. During our first consultation, we often ask, "How do you feel?" Most of our patients report feeling extremely fatigued, struggling with persistent brain fog, and finding it difficult to lose weight. Very few come to us due to issues in the bedroom. Testosterone is an essential hormone that fuels many bodily systems, which is why when testosterone levels are not balanced, individuals can feel quite unwell. We're here to help you feel your best!

The most noticeable physical change for someone with low testosterone is their appearance. Men with low testosterone often gain weight more easily, particularly around the midsection, experience decreased muscle mass, suffer from extreme fatigue, and have trouble sleeping.

Let's also talk about the emotional aspects of low testosterone. Many people associate hormonal mood swings with women, but men, listen up – you can get irritable, too! Low testosterone can affect your mood, leading to feelings of sadness, depression, and anxiety. It's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your doctor. Testosterone helps regulate emotions, so struggling to control reactions can indicate that your hormones are not balanced.

Testosterone is one of the most important hormones for men. In their 20s, men's bodies are usually great at producing this hormone. However, once men hit their 30s, testosterone production starts to decrease, though it may not be noticeable until the late 30s or early 40s. While decreasing testosterone levels are normal, they can sometimes have unfortunate consequences that might not be immediately obvious.
