What causes low testosterone?

Testosterone naturally declines with age, but it can also be affected by obesity, sleep quality, chronic stress, certain medications, and underlying conditions like hypogonadism. A clinician can help identify contributing factors.

How is low testosterone diagnosed?

Diagnosis requires a morning blood test, as testosterone levels are highest early in the day. A single low reading is usually confirmed with a repeat test before treatment is considered, alongside a review of symptoms and medical history.

Can lifestyle changes improve testosterone?

Yes. Sleep quality, resistance training, reducing alcohol, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight all support healthy testosterone levels. A clinician can advise on whether additional treatment is warranted.

Could it be low testosterone?

If your energy, sex drive, muscle mass, or mood aren't what they used to be, it might be your testosterone. Answer 10 quick questions to find out if it's worth getting checked.
