Male Hormonal Imbalance
Male Hormones
After the age of 20, men’s growth hormones begin to fall about 14% every 10 years. That means by the age of 40 a man has lost nearly half of the growth hormones he had when he was 20! These imbalances can happen at any age and fortunately there are several men’s bioidentical treatment options available.

So the question is: Is there an andropause or a low testosterone state that could be affecting the male homeostasis and balance of hormones, his stamina and overall wellness? The answer is YES! Many men suffer from symptoms of imbalanced hormones and low testosterone. Usually this is directly related to the cumulative exposure to high stress situations (type A personalities), exposure to toxins like heavy metals, insecticides, herbicides and plastic derived xenogens among others. Main stream medical managements, like the repeated use of antibiotics, as well as, medications for gastritis or stomach acid, may also create system imbalances resulting in low testosterone.
