Hormone Testing For Men

Hormone Testing for Men

Hormones regulate vital aspects of human health, including mood, libido, metabolism, and development. Testing your hormones can provide insight into the changes your body may be experiencing and understand how they are affecting you.

Your Hormones, Your Health

As early as the age of 30, men will begin to experience a decline in testosterone, resulting in fatigue, decreased libido, memory loss, insomnia, and reduced muscle mass.

Finding the right hormone balance offers men significant benefits, such as increased energy, better sleep, stabilized moods, and support in aging physically, emotionally, and mentally. Research has also shown that hormone therapy improves overall health by reducing the risk of disease.

Men of all ages may be interested in understanding their hormones (particularly testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, and DHEA levels) as your hormones can offer greater insight into your overall health. Testosterone levels begin to decline in men beginning in their early 30’s. Most men maintain adequate levels of testosterone into their mid-40’s to mid-50’s, some into their late 70’s to early 80's.

Men should be tested when they begin to show signs of testosterone deficiency such as brain fog, erectile dysfunction (ED), insomnia, mood changes, anxiety, etc. Most men should be tested around the age of 50, however, it’s never too late to benefit from hormone therapy. Through testing, you have the opportunity to better understand your hormone levels and the role they plan in your overall health.
