What is Low T?

What is Low T?
Many men don’t realize that the changes they experience over time aren’t necessarily ‘normal aging’
that they can’t do anything about. These changes can actually be due to low testosterone levels, or Low-
T. Many of these issues creep up so slowly, that you may not even notice until it has been going on for quite
some time. How many of these issues sound familiar?

Many men also don’t realize that this is happening sooner to them than it did to their grandfathers, due to a number of factors. The average testosterone of a man a generation ago was almost 20% higher than a man of the same age today. Why is this occurring? The answer is multi-factorial, with experts pointing to trends such as increasing obesity rates, exposure to toxins and endocrine disrupters in plastics, pesticides, and household chemicals, and even changing trends in male occupation.

Insurance companies and many providers define low testosterone as a level under 300, or below 250 in some cases. They won’t authorize the treatment of anything that doesn’t meet this arbitrary marker, even if you have many of the symptoms. This is not a normal level for men in their 30s, 40s, or even 50s! The average testosterone levels of men have been steadily trending downward for more than 50 years. Does this make it normal and mean you should accept feeling worse? Absolutely not.

What can be done about it? In addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, testosterone replacement therapy can not only help alleviate the above symptoms but is actually beneficial to your health. Higher levels of testosterone have cardioprotective effects, help to mitigate diabetes and decrease overall mortality.
