Testosterone Replacement Labs For Men

It is very important that IF you decide to get your hormone levels checked for low testosterone type symptoms, that the RIGHT labs are checked. Many patient’s ask a physician that may not be knowledgeable about hormone testing and replacement to check their testosterone. I have news for you. If you are only checking testosterone levels for your symptoms then you are only getting a very small piece of the puzzle.

Up-stream hormones in the brain, sex hormone binders, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid levels, and others can all play a super important role in your Testosterone and hormone health. Contact a physician that performs testing for these hormones on a daily basis and is knowledgeable about treatment. Too many patients are being told that “everything is normal” or that they have a problem that does not exist.

If you would like to do some self research, Dr John Crisler was a pioneer in age management and has written a book titled, “Testosterone Replacement Therapy”. This book is available on Amazon. Book Link Here . Please contact our office if we can be of service. (904) 874-5775 Thank you!

Sarcopenia

Researchers have discovered that sarcopenia can increase your risk of many health issues including: falls, loss of independence, disability, and death. Decreased leg muscle mass is especially associated with our ability to walk as we age.

Increasing Muscle Mass With Age...

Researchers at the University of Florida recently found:

• Dietary interventions involving protein supplementation improved functional and/or strength with age

• Exercise interventions and combined diet and exercise interventions produced consistent improvements in maintaining lower body muscle strength

• A much larger number of older adults will have future problems with losing muscle mass than previously thought

Replacing low testosterone along with resistance training has been shown to prevent the accelerated loss of muscle mass with aging.

Testosterone has also been shown to up-regulate the genes that are involved in increasing muscle mass.

In summary, diet, exercise, and replacing low testosterone have all been shown to be highly effective at preventing this serious issue.
