There are several potential causes of hormone deficiencies:
Recognizing the signs and addressing imbalances early optimizes treatment success.
Possible signs of low hormone levels include:
If experiencing any of those issues, hormone testing is recommended to check for deficiencies.
Hormone therapy can provide immense relief for those suffering from hormone deficiencies. Replacing missing hormones offers many advantages:
Balancing hormones reverses fatigue to restore sustainable daily energy levels. Patients report having the stamina to complete tasks without dragging or needing extensive rest.
Optimal hormone levels are associated with improved moods, lower anxiety and depression, and better sleep quality. Patients note better stress resilience and emotional regulation.
Proper hormone levels make it easier to get lean muscles through strength training while accelerating fat loss through cardio workouts. Patients see improved body composition.
Low hormone levels directly correlate to low libido and sexual functioning issues. Correcting deficiencies can rekindle desire and performance to enhance intimate relationships.
Restoring hormone balance revitalizes health and quality of life across mental, physical and social domains.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is commonly used to treat low testosterone, also called hypogonadism or Low T, in men.
Testosterone levels peak during adolescence and early adulthood then gradually decline with age. Low testosterone occurs when levels dip below normal ranges, causing unpleasant symptoms.
