Reading Time: 2 minutes Photo: Anna Bryukhanova Ever since humans began selling stuff, hucksters have tried to capitalize off of people's fears of getting old, of losing their flexibility and athleticism, and of leading a generally less exciting and visceral life. An interesting if slightly scary editorial in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society highlights two modern-day instances of this that have run amok: Marketers pushing ever-increasing quantities of testosterone and growth hormone (GH) on people who don't actually have any medical need for these substances, and who may be harmed by them. The folks who sell testosterone often online, directly to consumers have, … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hormones in the body were designed to rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They serve as powerful chemical messengers (communicators) sent to specific cells throughout your body to orchestrate many of your body's internal functions, as well as how your organs behave. There are many different hormones your body produces in order to achieve a balance. Even small fluctuations in levels can cause big changes in cells, or even disrupt the balance throughout your entire body. This is another reason to be cautious when selecting hormone replacement therapy. The goal should always be hormonal balance based in science, rather than experimentation or … Read more »

Reading Time: 3 minutes Senior adult. Credit: Mumininan / Getty Images Updated April 03, 2016. Andropause, also called "male menopause," is the time in a man's life when he starts to notice the effects of gradually falling levels of hormones. Although the hormones actually begin to decline much earlier, he may become aware of the decline during his late 40s or early 50s. Some clinicians and researchers have questioned whether male menopause is more myth than reality, since it's not sudden, like menopause in women. Still, as in women undergoing menopause, men experiencing a decline in hormones may suffer from symptoms of andropause. And … Read more »

Reading Time: < 1 minute Aging changes in the male reproductive system may include changes in testicular tissue, sperm production, and erectile function. These changes usually occur gradually. Unlike women, men do not experience a major, rapid (over several months) change in fertility as they age (like menopause). Instead, changes occur gradually during a process that some people call andropause. Aging changes in the male reproductive system occur primarily in the testes. Testicular tissue mass decreases and the level of the male sex hormone testosterone stays the same or decreases very slightly. There may be problems with erectile function. However, this is a general slowing, … Read more »

Reading Time: 2 minutes Andropause is male menopause. The same hormones that cause women to suffer sudden changes at menopause, also cause a cascade of symptoms to appear in the ageing male. Testosterone in men, often considered to be the male hormone, is in delicate balance with estrogen, the female hormone. As men (and women) reach 40, they suffer a progressive loss of testosterone, and a relative excess of estrogen; the resulting imbalance causes the gradual onset of symptoms, similar to those of a menopausal woman. Cast your eyes around a shopping mall. There are men with extended belts, obesity, protuberant abdomens, bigger breasts … Read more »
