Testosterone is a critical male hormone, for men and women it is perhaps one of the most critical hormones in the endocrine system. But that being said, all hormones are important and play a significant role in the symphony within your body.
It is responsible for strength, energy, a deep voice, strong bones, muscle development, libido (sex drive), body hair, mood, assertiveness ...and many more traits that are associated with masculinity.
But there are more roles that testosterone plays in a man’s health.
Testosterone plays a vital role in how men’s reproductive system (prostate gland health and testicles) develop and mature.
As important as the above-mentioned masculine characteristics are the protection that testosterone provides. Low testosterone levels (AKA “Low-T”) in men is associated with a broad range of health concerns such as:
Weak, shrinking muscles (Sarcopenia)
Inflammation
Joint aches and pains
Chronic fatigue
Dry, withered, wrinkled skin
Brain fog and mental confusion
A loss of flexibility
Facts About Depression And Low Testsoterone
Erectile Dysfunction, Declining libido, and a decreased ability to sexually perform
Weight-gain and increasing accumulation of unhealthy fat
Insulin resistance that leads to diabetes and the testosterone connection
And more...much more
The above health afflictions demonstrate the importance of ensuring that a man’s testosterone is at a healthy, robust level.
Testosterone Optimization: How do we determine the best Testosterone levels for men across their lifespan?
The importance of measuring testosterone cannot be overstated. But determining the right testosterone level is not as straightforward as it may seem.
Doctors measure testosterone in nanomoles per liter (nmol/l), and the accepted standard “usual” healthy range in males is somewhere between 9.2 to 31.8 nmol/L.
This range is universally accepted by medical professionals from different societies, countries or laboratories. But is this accurate for everyone? Not necessarily.
