Optimal (not normal) testosterone levels help control cholesterol, lipid and glucose, but they also protect our bones, brain, and memory. So when testosterone levels begin to decline, you can feel it in various ways.
You may be experiencing brain fog and can’t remember things, or you may see your cholesterol rise despite eating whole foods. Other symptoms can include low energy levels that interfere with performing everyday tasks, or a sex drive that has diminished, putting your relationship at risk.
Although age, lifestyle and diet can all play a part, it could actually be a decline in testosterone that’s causing the issues you’re experiencing, and it may be time to consider getting your hormone levels checked.
