Mid-Life Crisis

The “mid-life crisis” that affects men in their 40’s and 50’s has never been well understood in medical terms. We now know that men go through hormonal changes in their middle years, just like women do. It’s been termed “andropause”, and it can be just as debilitating and emotionally challenging as menopause can be for women.
Men and women have the same sex hormones in their bodies, just in different proportions. Men have a predominance of testosterone, while their estrogen levels are supposed to be much lower than those of women.

Testosterone is commonly regarded as a “sex hormone”, but it’s a “total body hormone” affecting every cell in the body. As men age, their hormone levels change and this causes a range of effects in the body, including:
• loss of muscle mass
• weight gain especially around the abdomen
• decreased libido and sexual function
• depression

Hormone changes in men are also associated with a range of significant degenerative diseases, including:
• heart disease
• stroke
• diabetes
• arthritis
• osteoporosis
• hypertension

There are several changes in the hormones that contribute to andropause. One is a reduction in free testosterone. But low testosterone is just part of the picture. Research shows that as men age, they convert more of their testosterone to estrogens.

A regimen of natural hormones and specific nutrient and herb supplementation can be prescribed to help boost the free testosterone levels, decrease the excess estrogens, and protect the prostate gland.

The many benefits of herb therapy for men include increased feeling of well-being, increased libido and greater sexual performance and satisfaction, increased strength and stamina and greater muscle mass, and weight loss (especially around the abdomen). There are also longer term benefits such as protection against cardiovascular disease and neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s.
Andropause is not just a psychological phenomenon – it’s a very real physiological change involving the hormones that keep men young and healthy! It is possible to assess hormone levels and develop anti-aging regimens for men as well as women. It’s never too late for a happier, healthier, more satisfying life.
