Male Menopause

What is the male menopause?

Testosterone plays a huge role in your body – from muscle strength to mood, energy, and even sex drive. As men age, testosterone levels naturally drop, leading to a range of changes. But don’t worry; it’s a normal part of getting older!

What are the symptoms of male menopause?

• Low energy & tiredness: You’re just not bouncing back like before!
• Mood changes: Feeling sad or irritable? It’s common.
• Sexual health issues: A decrease in libido and erectile dysfunction might crop up.
• Body changes: Weight gain, loss of muscle, and even gynecomastia (breast growth) are possible.
• Mental fog: Concentration issues and memory lapses are more frequent.
• Sleep problems: Insomnia is another challenge many face

How is male menopause diagnosed and treated?

If you’re noticing these symptoms, a blood test can confirm if your testosterone is low. If the changes aren’t severely impacting your life, you can manage them with simple lifestyle changes like:

• Eating better (think more plant-based foods)
• Regular exercise
• Good sleep
• Reducing stress
