Have you noticed a decline?
YOU CAN REGAIN YOUR VITALITY
As men age past 30, testosterone levels naturally decline by about 10% each decade—a process known as andropause. This gradual decrease can subtly impact health and well-being. When levels drop rapidly or are already low, symptoms may appear sooner. If you’re facing unexplained fatigue, reduced muscle strength, diminished libido, or other changes, low testosterone could be the reason. Recognizing these shifts is the first step toward regaining vitality.

What is Low T?
As men move beyond the age of 30, their testosterone production begins to decline. This gradual decrease, known as andropause, spans several decades, with testosterone levels typically dropping by about 10% per decade.
If this decline occurs more quickly, especially in someone with borderline low testosterone levels, symptoms may appear sooner than anticipated and may become concerning.
Could I have Low T?
The ADAM (Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male) questionnaire is a screening tool for identifying symptoms related to low testosterone levels.
This self-assessment can help determine if you may be at risk for low testosterone.
Please answer “yes” or “no” to the following questions:
1. Have you noticed a decrease in libido (sex drive)?
2. Do you feel low on energy?
3. Have you experienced a drop in strength or endurance?
4. Have you lost height?
5. Do you feel a reduced enjoyment in life?
6. Are you feeling more sad or irritable?
7. Are your erections less firm than they used to be?
8. Have you noticed a decline in your athletic abilities?
9. Do you find yourself dozing off after dinner?
10. Has your work performance recently declined?
If you answer “Yes” to question 1 or 7, **or** if you answer “Yes” to more than three questions, this may indicate low testosterone levels.
Symptoms of Low T
– Low sex drive
– Erectile dysfunction
– Depression
– Anxiety
– Memory problems
– Difficulty focusing or concentrating
– Lack of motivation or drive
– Reduced muscle mass or strength
– Slower recovery after exercise
– Prolonged recovery after injury
– Increased belly or upper body fat
– Higher risk of pre-diabetes or diabetes
– Elevated risk of heart disease
– Osteoporosis
Many men dismiss these symptoms as simply “part of getting older” or “just stress.”
The signs of low testosterone are often subtle and can resemble those of other health conditions, which is one reason low testosterone frequently goes untreated.
How serious is Low T?
We don’t rely solely on lab results to prescribe testosterone replacement.
To achieve the best outcomes with testosterone therapy, we consider multiple factors.
We evaluate other hormones that influence testosterone, such as:
– Insulin
– Thyroid hormones
– Estrogen
– Cortisol
– Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
– DHEA
In addition, a more in-depth lab assessment may be done to review factors like:
– Advanced cardiovascular risk markers
– Vitamin and mineral levels
– Inflammation markers
– Digestive health
– Toxic exposures
We also work with lifestyle factors—including nutrition, exercise, and stress management—to support the most effective results.
