Testosterone is the main sex hormone found in men. It’s produced in the gonads and is responsible for the development of secondary sex characteristics. Testosterone helps maintain bone density, sex drive, sperm count, the production of red blood cells, fat distribution, as well as muscle mass and strength.
A man’s testosterone level peaks during adolescence. The body begins to produce less testosterone around the age of 40. For most men, testosterone levels decline modestly.
A testosterone test examines the amount of hormone found in your body, and helps determine if you are testosterone deficient.
The following conditions can be linked to testosterone deficiency; if you are experiencing any of these problems we recommend that you get tested.
- Having a hard time fathering a child. (Low sperm count can be the result of low testosterone)
- Experiencing sexual dysfunction. (Low testosterone decreases a man’s sex drive and erectile function)
- Diagnosed with Osteoporosis.
- Disorder of the hypothalamus or pituitary.
- Mood changes, depression, and memory loss.
- Increase in fat mass.
- Decreased muscle mass, lack of body hair, and the development of breast tissue.
It is important to understand that some men who are experiencing these problems may not be suffering from unusually low levels of testosterone. Other men who have low testosterone levels may not experience any symptoms or signs that would motivate them to get tested.
Here at The Best Program, Dr. Fisher recommends that all men, age 35 and older, should have their testosterone levels tested. If the test results show that you are suffering from a deficiency, Dr. Fisher will develop a unique testosterone therapy program for your body that will steadily increase your testosterone levels until you are back at a healthy, youthful, optimal level.
So, get tested today! Be the BEST you can be and Live Life Young!
