Testosterone. It’s one of the key hormones that drive some masculine behaviors, such as sex drive and libido. What many don’t realize is that testosterone plays a key role in many other factors—muscle tone, belly fat, energy and motivation levels, and sleep. For the last 60 years, testosterone levels have been decreasing for men of all ages, and now many men are now seeking help for low testosterone (or low T).
Most men hold a lot of shame when it comes to low testosterone levels as if they have to check their man-card at the door when this topic is brought up. For most men, sexuality and virility are deeply intertwined and any hint of dysfunction or waning testosterone levels is frightening and embarrassing. Many times, it leads to a diminished sense of self-worth and low self-confidence.
In this episode, Kim is joined by a natural health physician and chiropractor, Dr. Adam Brockman. Dr. Brockman de-mystifies the idea of “being a man,” while helping us understand that low T is much more than low sex drive and libido. He explains the reasons for low T and how men experiencing this are far from alone in their struggles. Dr. Brockman provides both natural and scientific ways to increase wellness and vitality.
Kim and Dr. Brockman dig into the benefits of having optimal testosterone levels and how it begins with a simple blood test. They also get into brass tacks advice on what you can do to raise your T levels naturally and when you should visit a doctor for testosterone replacement therapy.
