ANDROPAUSE

What is Andropause?

Andropause is to men what menopause is to women. We know that women experience a decline in hormone levels during their middle ages. We never wanted to believe that it also occurred in men as well. For women menopause is an explosive decline of hormones. Men have a very different experience. Male symptoms sneak in the back door with stealth like silence and suck out your ambition, sexual drive, and a host of minor symptoms, which we write off as "burnout" or depression. Men will notice their muscles shrinking, their energy withering, their self-confidence crumbling, and their virility taking a tumble. This condition is called "Andropause" which men enter a time they neither understand nor wish to talk about.

The "male hormone testosterone" is dynamite! What is a Hormone? A hormone is a chemical substance produced in one part or organ of the body that starts or runs the activity of an organ or a group of cells in another part of the body. Testosterone, estrogen, insulin, adrenalin, cortisone are some. Balance is the crucial word. Too much of the more important hormones would burn us out metabolically at a fantastic rate. Too little and our systems begins to slowly shut down. The optimal function of every cell requires optimal hormonal input and we had it. Therefore, any decline in hormonal activity from youthful norms will result in sub optimal cellular activity. The result of that replacement is rapid improvement in physical function. More often than not, there is also a marked recovery in psychological attitude and mental alertness.

Testosterone deficiency has been an unrecognized syndrome that impacts every cell in the body. It is powerfully linked to nearly every major degenerative disease and age related illness. When testosterone is abundant, it is at the core of energy, strength, stamina, and sexuality. When deficient, it is at the core of disease and early demise.

Declining testosterone is associated with age-related illness and preventive medicine. Testosterone levels fall steadily decade-by-decade. When testosterone begins to decline, the most common side effect that a man might notice is a loss of sexual desire. However, the very first signs my have gone unnoticed. The loss of strength and energy are so subtle that men hardly notice their downward shift. Loss of athletic ability, loss of dynamic executive capabilities, loss of self-confidence, loss of eagerness and the total unexpectedness of what we're undergoing. Those around you such as a wife or friends may notice depressive changes in your personality to be quite apparent as the first indication. Life becomes habit and lethargic.

Replacing testosterone provides a better life, longer life, brighter younger, more vital life. It is preventive medicine with remarkable decrease in the risk of major disease. How can this be you ask? Testosterone travels to every part of the human body. There are receptors for it from your brain to your toes. Testosterone is vitally involved in the making of protein, which, in turn, forms muscle. Testosterone is a key player in the manufacture of bone. Testosterone improves oxygen uptake throughout the body, vitalizing all tissues. Testosterone helps control blood sugar, helps regulate cholesterol, and helps maintain a powerful immune system. Testosterone appears to help in mental concentration, improves mood and preventing depression. Testosterone is most likely one of the key components in protecting your brain against Alzheimer's disease.

Choose to live a healthy life after your thirties by taking action! Hormones will decline as you age. Only your body knows when that will occur. There is no reason why you should allow yourself to become a caricature of the person you once were. Take control of your life and live it to the fullest feeling the best you possible can!
