Naturopathic Treatment for Low Testosterone
Low testosterone levels in men are becoming increasingly common. While the natural decline of testosterone is normal in old age, many men these days are experiencing a rapid decline even in their late twenties. What is heartbreaking is that many men don’t seek medical attention for their health issues relating to their hormone disruption due to embarrassment and fear. As men, we are socialized to be strong, show no weakness and derive our worthiness from being what society defines as “manly.”
A lot of the symptoms relating to low testosterone levels can make men feel less manly because they affect things like strength, muscle mass, energy levels and sexual performance, which are all things we are told to associate with “manliness.” Therefore, men become reluctant to speak about these issues and seek help, which ultimately requires vulnerability. We are socialized to think vulnerability is weakness, but really, it is true strength. This is because being vulnerable means that you still decide to do something, despite fear, risk, uncertainty and emotional exposure.
The common treatment for low testosterone is hormone replacement. While a quick fix of hormone replacement therapy may seem like a good idea in the short term, these treatments can carry harsh side effects due to the fact that synthetic hormones are not always bioidentical to naturally produced hormones. Specificity is very important in the body. Also, because the body is receiving synthetic testosterone, it causes the testes to stop producing testosterone all together as the body sees this as “wasted energy” due to the fact that it is getting testosterone from a cream or pill.
When the medication is discontinued, symptoms are likely to be worse because the body will take time to start producing testosterone naturally again and the underlying causes that were causing low testosterone production in the first place would still be manifesting. These treatments don’t address the underlying causes of why the body is not producing enough testosterone, which is key.
The good news is that most of the time, low levels are intrinsically linked to poor diet and lifestyle habits that lead to nutrient deficiencies, decreased sleep, smoking, drugs, excess alcohol intake, increased stress, anxiety and decreased exercise. The reason why this is good news is that all of these things are within our control, therefore we can change them.
