A change in hormone production is a natural part of the aging process. To maintain quality of life as you get older, functional integrated health clinics and medical weight loss experts often recommend bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both men and women. If you’re curious about how pellet therapy or synthetic hormone supplements help boost men’s wellness, here’s some helpful information to review. 

Understanding the Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

What Is Testosterone & How Do Levels Vary With Age?

Testosterone is a hormone responsible for male growth and the overall development of masculine characteristics. During puberty, this hormone level spikes and kick-starts hair growth, muscle mass, bone density, a deepening of the voice, sperm count, and sex drive. A man’s testosterone levels start to decrease around the age of 30 or 40 by roughly 1% per year. As a result of this decline, men can experience a wide range of symptoms related to hormonal changes, including sleep disruptions, insomnia, decreased sex drive, higher body fat, reduced muscle mass, hair loss, and feelings of sadness or depression. 

How Can Men Benefit from Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a customized program  designed to restore hormone levels. With restored testosterone levels, men can enjoy a myriad of benefits, including improved cognitive function, mood, sex drive, and bone density. Restoration of testosterone levels has cardiovascular benefits, too, and can reduce the risk of heart disease or heart attacks.
