Testosterone plays a very important role in physical performance and overall well-being. When your testosterone levels get too low, it can make you feel sluggish, decrease your sex drive, and cause you to lose muscle mass, as well as several other symptoms. Many men take advantage of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) to help increase their testosterone levels and get back to feeling like their best selves.
In addition to receiving testosterone replacement therapy, there are several key things you can do on a daily basis to help naturally increase your testosterone.
Before we dive into the ways you can naturally increase your testosterone levels that enhance testosterone replacement therapy, let’s start with covering what causes low testosterone in the first place.
There are several reasons your testosterone levels might be on the lower side. This could be due to your age (testosterone levels tend to decrease with age), various medical conditions, chronic illnesses, certain medications, chronic stress, and various lifestyle factors (such as not exercising or eating an imbalanced diet). The exact cause of your low T can be determined by scheduling an appointment with a testosterone specialist and getting a blood test. From there they can come up with a treatment plan to help increase your testosterone levels and get you back to feeling great.
Below are common symptoms associated with low testosterone levels. If you experience any of these symptoms, it could be caused by low T. Consider scheduling an appointment with a testosterone specialist to determine if you have low testosterone levels and to receive appropriate treatment.
Prioritizing your health and well-being is essential, and a specialist can help you address these concerns.
It’s not fun experiencing any symptoms associated with low T. Increasing your testosterone levels can significantly improve your quality of life in the following ways:
Now that you know the causes of low testosterone and the benefits of increasing your levels (when needed), here are five ways you can increase it naturally:
As mentioned, there are a few types of testosterone replacement treatments available. Below are three of the most effective solutions for increasing testosterone:
Testosterone cypionate is a powerful treatment for increasing your testosterone levels. Most patients begin to experience the benefits of testosterone cypionate injections around three to six weeks from the first injection.
Also known as Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), this is a type of treatment that restores testosterone levels through pellets that are placed under the skin. These pellets naturally dissolve and release consistent levels of testosterone throughout the body over 3 to 4 months.
Clomid, also known as clomiphene citrate, can stimulate the body’s production of testosterone by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain. This can potentially lead to increased release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn stimulates the testes to produce more testosterone.
At Gameday Men’s Health, we only administer natural, bioidentical hormones – identical to what your body produces naturally. We can help determine your testosterone levels through a simple blood test, and choose the best treatment options based on your current health and specific needs.
