There are many physiological differences between men and women that require different forms of healthcare, including balancing hormones. Hormones affect male vitality and well-being, making it necessary to optimize health with Native Sun Nutrition and Functional Medicine in Las Vegas, NV.

What exactly is testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that is produced by both men and women. However, men have higher levels, and this accounts for changes in puberty like deepening of the voice, larger amounts of body hair, and growth spurts. Testosterone is involved in sperm production, red blood cell production, and the maintenance of strong bones and muscles.

How do hormone levels affect male vitality?

When men have too much estrogen, or low testosterone levels, they can become sluggish and experience a decrease in energy, libido, motivation, and overall quality of life. Many chemicals in our modern world mimic the effects of estrogen on the body, leading to hormonal imbalances and negative effects on men’s health. Compounds that induce estrogenic effects include:

  • Dry cleaning chemicals
  • Fabric softener
  • Laundry detergent
  • Parabens
  • Copier toner
  • Insecticides
  • Antibiotics in meat and dairy products
  • Plastics

Estrogen dominance in men is linked to prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.

Overconsumption of refined carbohydrates and trans fats can also lead to a chain reaction that triggers the production of more estrogen, plus body fat produces estrogen. This can lead to an increase in insulin resistance and the inhibition of leptin, which can make you need to eat more in order to feel satiated.
