What Exactly Is
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
It is estimated that between 35 to 40% of adult males suffer from low testosterone levels. Low testosterone is on average a level of below 300 ng/dL. Many factors may contribute to low testosterone levels which include lack of exercise, substance abuse notably opioid abuse, and the natural aging process. Symptoms include fatigue, depression, mood swings, lack of energy and motivation, loss of muscular tone and strength, erectile dysfunction, and most importantly lack of sex drive and performance. Responsible testosterone replacement can reduce these symptoms and help bring back energy and strength, and sexual drive.
In addition, routine exercise, improved sleep hygiene, and supplementation can improve testosterone levels and overall well-being.

Therapy
Testosterone helps red blood cell production through the bone marrow. A recent study of 83,000 men found that men whose testosterone levels returned to normal were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack and 36 percent less likely to experience a stroke.
Better Verbal Memory, Spatial Abilities, or Mathematical Reasoning
Research shows that men with higher ratios of total testosterone have a reduced incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. There’s also evidence for a strong correlation between testosterone and thinking abilities such as verbal memory and faster processing speed. Testosterone treatment for men 34 to 70 years old has shown an improvement in spatial memory.
Testosterone is responsible for increased muscle mass. Leaner body mass helps control weight and increases energy. For men with low testosterone, studies show that treatment can decrease fat mass and increase muscle size and strength.
Testosterone levels naturally rise in response to sexual arousal and activity. Men with higher levels of testosterone usually have greater sexual activity. Older men need more testosterone for libido and erectile function. But it’s important to note that erectile dysfunction is often due to other conditions or medications rather than low testosterone levels. Studies show that testosterone therapy can benefit your sexual health and performance.
