Introduction
It is well documented that a man's testosterone level declines as early as age 30, dropping one percent a year after the age of 50. The decline comes
with an array of "change of life" symptoms such as loss of muscle mass, fatigue, depression, erectile dysfunction, and even hot flashes. The
condition is hard to test for and even more difficult for a man to discuss, so it usually flies under the radar. However, as studies begin to link low
testosterone with infertility, heart disease, cognitive decline, and bone loss, practitioners are beginning to take notice.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks is finding a name. Every condition must have a name, and male menopause, which means "the end of menses"
is not the answer. Andropause, hypogonadism, and androgen deficiency are names that have been bandied about, but nothing has stuck as of yet. Whatever
you want to call the growing issue of low testosterone in men, we would like to address the most common challenges and find natural solutions to
correct them.
