Do you get tired more easily?\u00a0 Feel older than your chronological age?? Lack the energy to do the things you want to do??<\/p>\n
Fatigue, feeling tired, is a common complaint. You want to get a work up for this as it can be caused by many things: sleep apnea, heart issues, anemia, infections, poor water intake, poor nutrition, lung issues, etc. It is important to have your physician, who knows you well, evaluate you to make sure everything is OK.<\/p>\n
The problem arises when your evaluation is \u201cnormal\u201d and there is no apparent cause of your fatigue. This is where anti depressants are often prescribed (sometimes they are needed but generally they are not). This is when you really should think about a\u00a0hormonal imbalance\u00a0 causing your issues\u2014especially if you are between 35 and 55 years old. Of course,\u00a0hormonal\u00a0imbalances can affect men and women younger or older than this.<\/p>\n
Most people think of low\u00a0thyroid\u00a0as a cause of fatigue and it can be overlooked by physicians when the levels are \u201cnormal\u201d but not optimal. However, low Testosterone in men and women is more often missed in traditional office settings and is a common cause of fatigue, as well as brain fog, muscle mass loss, loss of overall vitality, etc. Men are typically not treated until their Testosterone levels are critically low, and then they are only offered synthetic replacements and their\u00a0Testosterone\u00a0levels are not even brought up to optimal levels. Women are generally not even treated at all for low Testosterone in a traditional medical setting.\u00a0 Medical training programs forget that women need\u00a0Testosterone\u00a0too, just at lower levels than men.<\/p>\n
The long term risks of not correcting low\u00a0Testosterone\u00a0is bone loss (osteoporosis), dementia, possible increased heart disease risk, etc. plus an overall decrease in vitality and energy. If you feel that you may have a hormonal imbalance and you have not gotten the help you need, you naturally want that help.<\/p>\n
