🌟 June is Men’s Health Month! 💪
For the rest of the month, I'll be diving deep into the often-overlooked root causes of low testosterone that I've discovered in my practice with adult male patients aged 19+. Testosterone levels plummet over the decades, leading to obesity, cardiovascular issues, and declines in cognitive and sexual health.

But the real villains? 💥Chronic stress, inflammation, sleep disorders, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental toxins!

Here's a quick breakdown:
TL;DR:
📉Testosterone drops by about 1% (total) and 2% (free) per year after age 30.
😰Modern life accelerates this decline with chronic stress, poor sleep, and nutrient deficiencies.
💉Only relying on hormone replacement can lead to severe side effects if root causes aren't addressed.

🔍 What's happening?
* NHANES data: Significant drops in testosterone from the late 1980s to early 2000s.
* Young men are also experiencing severe drops in testosterone levels.
* Environmental toxins and lifestyle factors play a massive role.

Over the next month, I'll cover the following root causes:
- Inflammation
- Chronic Stress
- Stealth Infections
- Poor Sleep & Sleep Disorders
- Nutrient Deficiencies
- Fatty Acid Balance & Cholesterol
- Medications
- Obesity & Body Composition Imbalances
- Blood Sugar Issues
- Trauma (Kicked in balls & TBIs)
- Genetics and Epigenetics
- Toxins

What to do:
1. Get your testosterone levels checked.
2. Consult a specialist in men’s hormones and root cause medicine.
3. Follow a tailored plan for lifestyle and integrative medicine interventions.

Men with low testosterone have an increased risk of all-cause mortality, heart attacks, and strokes. So, take charge of your health this month!
