Cognitive Dissonance TRT and Testosterone

As an aging man, you have days that are just slow. Maybe you didnโ€™t drink any coffee before work? Orย you skip your morning walk for an earlier meeting? Maybe fatigue is starting to dominate your life? You literally feelย your body slowing down its metabolism and production of hormones. You naturally are losing energy, stamina, and some flexibility in your joints and muscles. But have you ever questioned why? One of the many factors is testosterone. The aging male body decreases testosterone levels over time. Thisย causes mental fog and loss of cognitive function, among other symptoms. Many aging men harbor a cognitive dissonance toward using Testosterone due to brainwashing by the media. They think using Testosterone is unethical, dangerous or both. Due to these pre-conceived notions, many aging Men fail to get evaluated for low testosterone. high-estrogen-levels-low-testosterone Before they know it,ย testosterone deficiencyย has become a major problem. It’s important menย understand the importance and function of Testosteroneย for overall health. What Testosterone Does For Your Body We all have a basic understanding of what testosterone does. Most people describe it as the โ€œmale hormone.โ€ It plays a major role in menโ€™s sexual development. Dr. Abraham Morgentaler of Menโ€™s Health Boston describes the hormone:

โ€œ[Testosterone] gives them their characteristic deep voices, large muscles, and facial and body hair, distinguishing them from womenโ€ฆ stimulates the growth of the genitalโ€ฆ fuels libido, and contributes to normal erectionsโ€ฆ fosters the production of red blood cells, boosts mood, and aids cognition.โ€1

Without testosterone, men wouldnโ€™t feel like men. Asย an aging man,ย when yourย testosterone levels drop, you’ve been conditioned by modern medicine as “a part of getting old’.ย You feel weak, tired, emotionally unstable, and lose self-confidence. No one wants to admit these feelings, but as many as 40% of men over the age of 45 are suffering from thisย ‘testosterone deficiency’. Morgentaler goes on to say:

โ€œTestosterone levels start to fall, by about 1% a year, beginning in the 40s. As men get into their 50s, 60s, and beyond, they may start to have signs and symptoms of low testosterone such as lower sex drive and sense of vitality, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy, reduced muscle mass and bone density, and anemia.โ€

These symptoms can be medically traced to hypogonadism, a condition causing low levels of testosterone in the bloodstream. How Testosterone Changes Over Time Itโ€™s unclear as to why testosterone drops off after the age of 40. Some physicians believe this is biologically when men peak in their sexual capability. Maybe the body prepares for a less active sex life? Lower levels of testosterone onceย wereย an evolutionary advantage. But in modern society, it causes many men to lose their vitality and inhibitsย their lifestyle. Why would any aging man choose to suffer from these symptoms? By taking a simple blood test and physical exam, a good progressive doctor can determineย if you have low testosterone. Once your labs are back, you can then discuss startingย Testosterone replacement therapy. What is TRT? Testosterone replacement therapy works exactly as the name suggests: you replace yourย bodies decline in natural testosterone with a synthetic form. One medical journal describes the treatment this way:

โ€œThe goal of testosterone replacement therapyโ€ฆ is to safely restore testosterone to normal physiological levels to alleviate symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency and to improve health, well-being and quality of life.โ€

Testosterone Replacement Therapy can be utilized via multiple delivery systems.ย Not all delivery systems are equal. You andย your doctor need toย decide which would be the best fit for your lifestyle. The Definitive TRT MANualย offers a full and comprehensive breakdown of delivery systems. It is recommended you familiarize yourself with delivery systems before having a TRT discussion with your physician. And better yet, make sure your physician is also aware of the information found in theย book. #1 TRT Book All Time It is important to understand theย ultimate goals of TRT are twofold: ย to attainย balance between Testosterone and Estrogen and to achieveย happiness and wellbeing for the patient. When beginning TRTย sometimes there are minor side effects. This is due to the time it takes to manipulateย the endocrine systemย to achieve balance. When working with a progressive physician, these side effects are closely monitored and easily corrected.

Conclusions All men deal withย the health issues associated with aging differently. ย But they donโ€™t have to be a detriment to your lifestyle. Many men find using TRTย proactively improves their mental and physical health. Therapeutic testosteroneย dosagesย allow them to reap the proven benefits and improve their quality of life. Why would any aging manย not chooseย better mental capability, improved sex drive, and feeling stronger? The exact things numerous studies about TRT have proven to provide. If you ignore your symptoms, you could suffer from the effects of hypogonadism for years. This will inevitably lead to the early onset of one of the many diseases of aging. You donโ€™t have to accept feeling fuzzy, frustrated, or fatigued anymore. CHEKDย offers in home or office testosterone deficiency testing and replacement therapy.
