Why is testosterone important? Many men don’t realize how many bodily functions use testosterone to maintain order. It’s no secret that testosterone plays a crucial role in healthy sexual function and development for men, starting in early adolescence.

Not only does it regulate sex drive, but it also aids in developing bone and muscle mass. Men use testosterone to metabolize food and monitor proper fat distribution. It keeps the heart healthy by producing red blood cells.

Unfortunately, aging can cause T levels to diminish, creating a host of medical complications like fatigue, irregular sleeping patterns, hair loss, and weight gain. Raising T levels can reverse the common symptoms associated with low T so you can get back to feeling yourself again.

How can I Boost Testosterone Levels?

Ideally, T levels should be between 300 ng/dL- 1000 ng/d; however, if levels do drop, there are steps you can take to restore balance. Lifestyle and diet changes can make a tremendous difference. However, before incorporating any changes, make an appointment with your doctor.

Did you know exercise can raise testosterone levels? According to one study, scientists found that older men could increase their T levels, fitness, and reaction times, by incorporating moderate exercise into their daily regimen.

It can be difficult finding the motivation to exercise, especially for clients struggling with weight problems. However, new research noted that exercise had remarkable benefits for obese men struggling with low T. After a 12-week course, following 41 overweight and obese men, researchers found working out was more effective at raising T levels than a calorie-restricted diet.

At Renew Vitality, our personalized wellness programs include an individualized workout plan that’s ideal for your current fitness levels. Studies suggest that resistance training is the best exercise for boosting and maintaining T levels for short and long-term benefits.

If clients aren’t interested in weight lifting, no worries, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) cardio has also been effective for restoring balance.

Fatigue is a common low T symptom and can make it challenging to stay motivated throughout a tough workout. Consider adding caffeine or creatine into your diet. Both offer an energy boost so you can power through a gym session and recover faster. They also both have the added benefit of raising T levels.

Recent research has linked prolonged stress levels to hypogonadism. Whether it’s environmental stress, like issues at work, or internal stress like anxiety, the body treats it the same way. Stress converts into a hormone called cortisol. Unnaturally high levels of cortisol lower T levels. To mitigate the effects of stress, look for ways to de-stress throughout the day. In one study, in just four months, participants were able to raise T levels with daily meditation sessions.

Testosterone Replacement Treatment Can Help

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is one of the most effective ways to restore hormonal imbalances. It offers a broad spectrum of treatments to help clients regain or improve existing T levels.

Transdermal skin patches can be worn either on the arms or upper body. They work a lot like a nicotine patch, they deliver testosterone through the skin and it enters the bloodstream.

Topical gels like AndroGel are clear gels that can also be applied directly to the skin, like the patches, daily.

Some patients prefer oral patches to skin patches and gels because they can be applied directly to the gums twice a day. Skin patches and gels have a higher risk of accidentally transferring the medication to women and children.

At Renew Vitality, we prefer injections because it’s the most effective option. Clients can self administer the injection once a week from the comfort of their own home. Our concierge team closely monitors your progress and is always available to answer any questions.
