Common Health Issues in Men

Declining testosterone levels, high stress levels, poor nutrition, and sedentary lifestyles have led to a rising prevalence of chronic illnesses and hormonal imbalances in men.

Some common health issues experienced include:

Risk Factors

Several factors can increase a man's risk of developing hormone deficiencies and related health issues:

• Age: Testosterone levels start dropping after age 30 by 1% per year. Up to 30% of men over 50 may have low testosterone.
• Overweight/Obesity: Excess weight interferes with hormone production and response.
• Chronic diseases: Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. disrupt the endocrine system.
• Medications: Opioids, steroids, etc. affect hormone levels.
• Lifestyle: Poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol abuse, and stress affect hormone balance.
• Genetics: Family history of chronic diseases or hormone issues.

Timely assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of underlying issues are key to optimizing men's health.

Signs and Symptoms

Changes in physical appearance, declining energy levels, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, emotional issues, and sexual problems could indicate hormonal imbalances in men.

Common signs and symptoms include:

• Fatigue, low energy, and stamina
• Increased body fat, weight gain
• Loss of muscle mass and tone
• Reduced strength and endurance
• Low libido, erectile dysfunction
• Depression, irritability, mood swings
• Hot flashes, night sweats
• Focus and concentration problems
• Reduced motivation and self-confidence

If you experience a combination of these symptoms, it is advisable to get comprehensive hormone testing done.

Hormone Testing and Diagnosis

The first step towards health optimization is obtaining accurate diagnosis through evidence-based testing.

At Revival Wellness Clinic, our physicians carefully evaluate your signs, symptoms, medical history, and risk factors.

We then recommend advanced hormone tests to check levels of key hormones, including:

• Testosterone: Total, Free, and Bioavailable
• Estrogen
• DHEA-S
• SHBG - Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
• LH and FSH - Pituitary hormones
• Thyroid hormones T3, T4, etc.
• Vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium

Monitoring metabolites like estradiol and DHT also provides valuable insights.

Comparison of Direct and Indirect Testosterone Tests

Test	What is Measured	Pros	Cons
Total T	Total T circulating in blood	Widely used initial test	Influenced by SHBG levels
Free T	Unbound T available for tissues	Accurately diagnoses T deficiency	Expensive test
Bioavailable T	Free Albumin-bound T	Best indicator of usable T	Specialty labs required
SHBG	Binds to T, regulates availability	Explains discrepancies in total vs free T

Based on the test results and your symptoms, your Revival Wellness Clinic physician will determine if hormone therapy is recommended to optimize your health, energy, and performance.

Let's debunk some common myths:

Myths on TRT | Scientific Facts |-|-| It causes prostate cancer | No evidence for increased prostate cancer risk with properly monitored TRT | It causes roid rage | No causal link; aggression likely with supratherapeutic abuse | It shrinks testicles | Testicular changes reversible upon treatment discontinuation | It permanently shuts down natural T production | Fertility returns for most men after regulated TRT ended | It leads to hair loss | Genetically predisposed men may notice accelerated hair loss | It has no significant benefits | Numerous physical and mental health benefits proven | It increases heart disease risk | Protective benefits for heart with regulated dosing |

John's Story - Escaping the Low T Blues

"My energy levels kept declining no matter how much I rested. I felt constantly irritated and unmotivated too. My wife finally convinced me to get tested when she noticed changes in my mood and our flagging sex life. Turns out my T levels were lower than most 60-year-olds! I'm so glad I started therapy at Revival Wellness Clinic when I did at 45 - It's given me back the vitality I feared I'd lost forever. I have the drive to excel at work and reconnect intimately again. I cannot thank my doctor enough! Guys, don't wait around if you have the symptoms. Taking control of your health is empowering!"

TRT Monitoring Protocol

As noted earlier in the starting protocols section, we schedule frequent testing during TRT to ensure your hormones are optimally balanced.

Here is an overview:

Initial phase: Tests every 6 weeks

Maintenance phase: Test 3 months after initiating therapy and then every 6 months routinely

We monitor total and free testosterone, estrogen, red blood cell count, lipids, PSAs, etc. to adjust your dosage and maximize benefits while staying within the normal range.

This level of meticulous medical supervision ensures you remain healthy while fulfilling your masculine potential through optimization. We also take medication contraindications, family history, and personal preferences into account during your unique journey.

Diagnosing Low T

Low testosterone symptoms, unfortunately, tend to be vague and overlap with other conditions. Getting an accurate diagnosis is therefore vital.

Here are a few pointers:

When to test: Check hormones when symptoms are persistent and not explained by other causes

What makes a good test: Free Total Testosterone, SHBG, Estrogen, and other hormones

Interpreting results: Compare to age-adjusted reference ranges

Replication is key: Repeat abnormal tests to confirm before starting treatment

Symptoms critical: Consider prescription T therapy only if symptoms accompany lab deficiency

Holistic lens: Evaluate medications, diseases, lifestyle factors along with hormone deficiency

As experienced men's health experts, we'll help navigate the next steps if hormone imbalances show up to restore your vigor!

Conclusion

We have only scratched the surface on the multifaceted aspects of maintaining men's holistic wellness in this introductory guide!
