Andropause

Natural Treatment

Supporting hormonal balance naturally is the most optimal approach to treating the symptoms of andropause. Before beginning any program, however, it is recommended to get baseline testing of male hormones using a Male Hormone Panel. Once hormone levels have been established, it will be essential to focus on adrenal gland health since the adrenals are largely responsible for hormone production. A customized nutrition plan that includes a low stress diet and adrenal supportive supplements is recommended to ensure proper production and utilization of male hormones. Weight management is critical as excess fat stores are depots for estrogen deposits will which cause a further imbalance of hormones in men. Furthermore, many of the foods we eat as well as commercial products used may contain xenoestrogens which cause an increase in the amount of estrogen-mimicking compounds circulating in the body. Sleep quality and quantity must also be addressed because of the significant impact that sleep has on metabolism, brain chemicals and hormone production.
