Feeling one step behind? It could be your Testosterone.
Tired all the time, otherwise referred to as TATT is one of the most common symptoms associated in men with low testosterone.
Testosterone is the primary male steroid sex hormone, and is what we call ‘Pleiotropic’ – as it is multifunctional and it plays a vital role in everything from your energy levels and mood to your muscle mass and sex drive. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, but for some, this drop can be significant enough to cause a range of unwelcome symptoms.
The “Low T” Epidemic: More Common Than You Think
Recent studies show that a surprising number of men in the UK are living with low testosterone, often without even knowing it. It is estimated that 8-12% of men aged 40-69 in the UK have testosterone deficiency (TD) [1]. That’s potentially millions of men who are not feeling their best.
Symptoms of low testosterone can be subtle and are often mistaken for signs of ageing. They can include:
- Low libido and erectile dysfunction [1]
- Constant fatigue and low energy levels [4]
- Loss of muscle mass and strength [2]
- Increased body fat [5]
- Mood swings and irritability [4]
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to investigate your testosterone levels.
Knowledge is Power: Why You Should Test Your Testosterone
Ignoring the symptoms of low testosterone can have a significant impact on your quality of life. But the good news is that it’s a treatable condition. The first step is to find out your testosterone levels with a simple blood test.
Knowing your numbers empowers you to take control of your health. With a clear diagnosis, you and your doctor can explore the best course of action for you, which may include Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).
TRT has been shown to have a range of benefits for men with low testosterone, including:
- Improved sexual function [6]
- Increased muscle mass and strength [2]
- Enhanced energy and mood [4]
- Stronger bones [3]
