Did you know that men go through menopause? “Male menopause” more widely known as andropause is when a man is experiencing multiple symptoms related to low testosterone. This can happen at any age, but symptoms related to hormonal imbalance are more commonly seen in men over 40 with a spike in symptoms happening around age fifty. Many men often write these symptoms off as signs of aging or the effects of daily stress. If you are over 40 and experiencing a mounting list of symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, low muscle mass, and irritability (just to name a few), it’s time to get your hormones checked.
Hormone Imbalance and Weight Gain
If you have noticed your muscles aren’t as defined, or you have developed a “beer belly”; it may be a sign of hormonal imbalance. Studies show that muscle wasting, increased abdominal fat, and gynecomastia otherwise known as man boobs are prominent symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Who knew the infamous “dad bod” in older men could be a sign of “male menopause”? Do not misinterpret these signs as part of the aging process, or stress-related symptoms. The condition is real—it is also a threat to your health and vitality. Get your hormones checked.
Hormone Imbalance and Anxiety
You have always been known as an easygoing person, but once you turned 50, everything seemed to put you on edge. You’re lashing out at your family, you stress yourself out when it’s time to make decisions, and your mood changes at the drop of a hat. The anxiety and irritation you’re experiencing aren’t just signs of “grumpiness”; they can be clear indicators of hormonal imbalance. To live a healthy life, you need the confidence you once had to be decisive and have peace of mind when making decisions. The responsibilities you carry won’t wait for your anxiety to subside. People rely on your confidence which is why it’s important to take your anxiety and irritation, even depression seriously. When you shrug off hormonal imbalance it can affect multiple aspects of your livelihood and disturb your peace beyond recognition.
Hormone Imbalance and Erectile Dysfunction
There is no easy way to say that your sex life may not be what it once was. The romantic spark in your marriage is flailing and you know your wife is missing something, but she won’t say what it is. You know you’ve lost the desire to be with her intimately. You tire yourself out at the thought of the effort you’ll have to put in and feel embarrassed at how long it takes you to engage with her. These symptoms go beyond typical aging and may point to hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance has shown a decrease in libido and an increase in erectile dysfunction. The combination of the two symptoms can very well lead to an unhappy relationship and a loss of self-confidence. You know yourself better than anyone and can see that your body isn’t working like it should be. Your best quality of life is right on the other side of your realization that your testosterone is low, and your symptoms are manageable.
Hormone imbalance in men is often associated with difficulty urinating and/or increased frequency of urination. The symptoms of hormonal imbalance can make you feel like you no longer have control over your body like you once did. If simply using the restroom has become a stressor and affects your quality of life, it is time to seek solutions that don’t just mask the symptom, but actually address the root cause.
Will Hormone Imbalance Fix Itself?
Your body has overcome many ailments, and you may trust it to balance out your hormones all on its own. For the past few years, you may have caught yourself thinking, ‘If only I could get a good night’s sleep, I’d feel a hundred percent.’ Did you know one of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance is sleeplessness? Without the rest your body requires, it makes it difficult for the body to heal itself. As a result, you start experiencing low energy, fatigue, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and even depression. Part of your lack of concern for your symptoms may very well be a symptom. Some nutraceuticals, such as EVEXIAS Sleep, target your sleep deprivation specifically. Nutraceuticals can be a great way to support hormone balance and continue your journey to your healthiest and highest quality of life.
