Men’s testosterone levels are declining at alarming rates. There is something you can do about it. Core Medical Group’s staff discusses in this blog why we are seeing lower levels than ever. We also give recommendations to help boost testosterone levels. Over the past few decades, testosterone levels have declined in men of all ages. A study published in JAMA showed that between 2010 and 2013, prescriptions for testosterone therapy were up by more than 50 percent. There are many reasons, like ever-increasing stress in our daily lives, obesity, and other outside contributing factors.
Low testosterone comes with a slew of symptoms, causing a downward spiral that can affect a man’s health negatively. In one example, studies have linked low testosterone to higher levels of anxiety and depression. Symptoms and concerns of low testosterone may include but are not limited to:
At Core Medical Group, we develop methods and HRT protocols to help boost testosterone levels and improve overall health. Here are the top 3 ways to improve your testosterone levels. Exercising at least three to four times per week. It helps raise testosterone and makes our cells more sensitive to insulin (reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes). Quality sleep is also essential. Studies show that less than five hours can decrease testosterone and sperm count after only one week. Improving your sleep quality can also help decrease the amount of cortisol. It leads to more stress, anxiety, and high blood pressure. Do blood work at least 1x per year. It is critical for our medical staff to understand your baseline health and how we can adequately manage your hormones back to optimal levels.
