The boost -your-low-testosterone.com owner Mark Wilson says that hormone therapy appears to be the first and only option to suggest by many doctors to treat low testosterone levels in young men. He receives e-mails every week from men under the age of 30 who have been placed on hormone replacement therapy to correct their low testosterone levels and are now experiencing negative side effects. This, he say, is just not right. “The decision to put a 20 something year old on hormone replacement therapy for life borders on malpractice in my opinion.”
He has a good point. Just a few of the known side effects of hormone replacement therapy include aggression, hostility, acne, hair loss, gynecomastia (man boobs), wild mood swings, water retention, libido swings, depression, and testicular atrophy. Wow – who knew that becoming a woman was the solution to the problem?
Hormone replacement therapy does not steadily and consistently introduce testosterone into the system, as would happen naturally. Instead testosterone levels point, contributing to a roller coaster of emotions. Mark has come up with several suggestions to help boost low testosterone levels in ways that more closely follow the body’s natural production process.
His first advice is to examine your lifestyle. You may be doing things that aren’t allowing your body to produce testosterone – these are the easiest and cheapest things to fix. Minor lifestyle modifications may be all that’s needed to boost production. Alcohol consumption, poor diet, lack of sleep, and inactivity all stop your body from being the testosterone producing machine it was meant to be.
If your testosterone levels still aren’t where you’d like them to be after drinking less, eating better, and sleeping and exercising more, it’s time to try supplements. The key to supplements is to keep your body guessing and to not allow it to develop a tolerance to any one supplement. Mark recommends several supplements to rotate, based on what you can afford.
Don’t be seduced by your doctor’s “easy answer” into thinking that the only thing that will boost your low testosterone is hormone replacement therapy. Given all of the other possibilities, this should be your last option, not you’re first.
