Causes of Low Testosterone in Men
Testosterone production gradually declines as men age and typically begins about age 40. This decline averages about 1% per year so that by age 70 production is at about 70% of what it was before the decline. When not enough testosterone is produced in the male body, it is usually termed hypogonadism. It is important to note that hypogonadism involves consistently low testosterone concentrations.
Considering the intricacy involved in testosterone production, it is no wonder that there may be several causes for low testosterone in men. These might include:
-
Over-consumption of sugar and processed foods.
-
Food allergies.
-
Nutritional deficiencies.
-
Heavy metal toxicity.

Our Approach to TRT for Men
We prefer to use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men, which is natural, effective, and can be specifically dosed to the individual. Bioidentical hormones regulate hormones better and are more readily used by the body because they are naturally derived from plant estrogens. They may pose less of a chance of long-term health risks and have fewer side effects due to the lack of chemicals, additives, and synthetics.
Customized TRT Treatment Plans
Your TRT treatment plan may consist of the following:
-
Testosterone (TRT) supplementation.
-
Nutritional supplements to reverse any nutritional deficiencies you might have.
-
Suggestions for lifestyle changes that will reduce stress and improve the health of the body through exercise and other means.
-
Dietary recommendations.
-
Recommendations for addressing any other underlying factors.
Safety & Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone replacement therapy should be done under the supervision of a competent healthcare professional. While there are benefits to hormone replacement therapy, there can also be drawbacks, especially if TRT levels are raised and maintained at unsafe levels. Our natural health doctors will make sure you are getting the treatment that is right for you and the correct amount and type of hormones if they are necessary.
