TESTOSTERONE LEVELS ARE IN DECLINE — FOR MEN OF ALL AGES. IT’S NOT CLEAR EXACTLY
WHAT’S BEHIND THE DROP, BUT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES HAVE BEEN PROFFERING CURES,
CONVINCING MEN THAT THE ANSWER TO ALL THEIR AILMENTS IS A TESTOSTERONE
SUPPLEMENT. DON’T BUY IT. TESTOSTERONE FLUCTUATES THROUGHOUT LIFE — WATCH OUT
FOR THAT POST-BABY DROP
[[link removed]]!
— AND FOR MOST MEN, IT WON’T FALL TO A LEVEL THAT COULD CAUSE HEALTH ISSUES. SO
THAT WEIGHT GAIN AND MUSCLE MASS LOSS? ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND BALDING? SORRY,
BUT LOW T IS PROBABLY NOT THE CAUSE. A MORE LIKELY CAUSE IS YOUR LIFESTYLE, AND
TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENTS CAN’T MAKE UP FOR A LIFESTYLE FILLED WITH COUCH SURFING
AND MIDNIGHT PIZZA INSTEAD OF LONG RUNS AND GRAIN BOWLS.

TIPS AND TRICKS
HOW TO TELL IF YOU HAVE CLINICALLY LOW TESTOSTERONE
ABOUT 1 IN 4 MEN OVER THE AGE OF 30 HAS LOW TESTOSTERONE
[[link removed]],
BUT ONLY 1 IN 20 HAVE CLINICAL SYMPTOMS FROM LOW T. SIGNS THAT LOW TESTOSTERONE
COULD BE TAKING A TOLL ON YOUR LIFE INCLUDE:
- LOW SEX DRIVE
- ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION
- HAIR LOSS
- MUSCLE MASS LOSS
- THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAN BOOBS
[[link removed]].
IF YOU THINK YOU COULD BE SUFFERING FROM LOW TESTOSTERONE, ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT
GETTING YOUR LEVELS TESTED VIA A BLOOD DRAW. IF YOU DO HAVE CLINICALLY LOW
LEVELS, THEY MAY PRESCRIBE A TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENT TO BOOST YOU BACK UP TO A
TYPICAL RANGE. BUT FOR MEN WITH TYPICAL LEVELS, TESTOSTERONE SUPPLEMENTS WON’T
HAVE ANY BENEFIT.

WHEN A MAN BECOMES A DAD, HIS BODY CHANGES. HORMONES FLUCTUATE. EMOTIONS SWIRL.
BUT IT'S A MAJOR TRANSITION HE MAY NOT EVEN NOTICE.

The interesting thing about both puberty and parenthood is that the transition
is primarily a biological one, but it has all this social resonance. And it’s
the social piece of it is that’s ultimately very important.
