MALE MENOPAUSE; ENOUGH TO GIVE ANY MAN PAUSE

MALE MENOPAUSE … WOULD IT HELP TO CALL IT ANDROPAUSE?
“IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT. I DON’T WANT IT.”

Every man wants to live life to the fullest, but life’s “halfway stage” can see a significant number of them entering a phase called male menopause. Male menopause has been called many things, and if we’re going to get real about it, an abundance of words that are limited to 4 letters. But male menopause is really just the more common name for “andropause”. Still doesn’t sound great, right? “Andras” in Greek means human male and “pause” in Greek a cessation. So literally “andropause” is defined as a syndrome associated with a decrease in sexual satisfaction or a decline in a feeling of general well-being with low levels of testosterone in men as they age.

FORTUNATELY, MALE MENOPAUSE ISN’T LIKE FEMALE MENOPAUSE
“THAT’S SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?”

Well, somewhat. Andropause differs from female menopause in several ways. For one thing, not all men experience it. For another, it doesn’t involve a complete shutdown of your reproductive organs. In women, ovulation ends and hormone production plummets during a relatively short period of time. This is known as female menopause: the “change” which some men would refer to as “mentalpause”. Andropause can cause men to go through their own “change”, but the consequences aren’t as clear.

IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST SEX AND YOUR MAN PARTS
“REALLY? COULD IT BE ANY WORSE THAN THAT?”

Testosterone, which is produced in the testes, is usually thought of as the powerhouse hormone that makes men, men. According to the Mayo Clinic, most men’s testosterone levels peak in adolescence and early adulthood. In their 30’s or 40’s (and sometimes even younger), those levels tend to decline by about 1 percent per year. By age 70, your testosterone level might reach closer to 50 percent of your peak level. Regrettably, this process can cause a lilt in your libido and the ability to “lift-off” when it comes to sex. So yes, it’s about sex. But more important to know, is that it’s more.

LET’S TALK SEX, FIRST “YES, LET’S”.

OK, we’ll get right to it. The sexual side effects of andropause include:

  • Loss of libido
  • Less strong erections
  • Decreased spontaneous erections
  • Ejaculatory issues
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Testicular shrinkage
  • Infertility

But settle down. It doesn’t happen to everyone. And all of it doesn’t happen to one man. Also, the severity of these issues varies from man to man. It’s not all bad. By a long shot. You should just be informed.

THEN THERE’S YOUR PSYCHE. (OH, AND THE REST OF YOUR BODY)
“ENOUGH ALREADY. YOU’RE KILLING ME…”

We’ll assure you again; you should just be informed.

In some cases, depression may be the first symptom of andropause that you notice. Feelings of unexplained sadness or anxiety. In fact, some men go to psychiatrists first, when it might be that they need to get their hormone levels checked first. Low testosterone can also cause:

  • Reduced muscle mass and weakness
  • Low energy
  • Low bone density (yep, osteoporosis)
  • Height loss
  • Insomnia
  • Increased body fat
  • Decreased motivation
  • Incontinence

And here’s a flash; hot flashes and night sweats

THE ANTI-AGING SURVIVAL GUIDE

FACT: We all get older. Older than what? 12 is older than 10. 20 is older than 18. 50 is older than 49. So everyone is older than someone else. But the world is in an anti-aging arena, ready to do battle with Father Time and the rest of his “out-to-get-you” family. It’s a fight that’s been going on since Ponce De Leon told Queen Isabella, he discovered The Fountain of Youth.

IT’S A SENIOR SHAMING JUNGLE OUT THERE

When it comes to aging gracefully, know that no one has ever really defined what “gracefully” means. It sounds like you’re being put out to pasture. Senior citizen. Elderly. Getting on in years. How about hearing “you look good for your age”? Labeling is always flawed, There’s no getting around it. Surely, someone could come up with some alternate language. It stinks, but “young” is a compliment. Any version of aging is not.

“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER” IS A BETTER SLOGAN THAN “KNOWLEDGE IS ANXIETY-INDUCING”

No one likes to really deal with the concept or realities of getting older. Golden years. Is that where you really want to go? To many, when it comes to aging, it’s “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to think about it. I don’t know about it”. Not exactly a savvy or productive anti-aging plan. The point is, if you do nothing about it, you can know for sure, nothing good will ever come of it. And you can do something about it. Something pretty remarkable. It’s called Sermorelin Therapy.

ACCEPT THAT YOUR HORMONES ARE GOING TO GO THEIR OWN WAY

Before getting into the wonders of Sermorelin for anti-aging, you need to know something about hormones. Hormones are the chemical messengers responsible for nearly every function in the body. And as you age, many of your 150 or so hormones start to wane, a phenomenon considered one of the principal medical signs of aging.

HGH. AN ACRONYM FOR STAYING YOUNG

One of the most notable hormones affected by the aging process is human growth hormones. Human growth hormone (HGH), is a naturally-produced hormone generated from the pituitary gland. Growth hormones stimulate cell production and regeneration in both males and females, helping to maintain the health of our organs and tissues throughout our lives. Production of growth hormones in the body peaks around 30 years of age, then decreases by as much as 15% per decade after that.

SERMORELIN THERAPY CAN DO MORE THAN TURN BACK TIME

Sermorelin acetate is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release HGH. Sermorelin mimics the effects of HGH but tells the pituitary gland in the body to produce HGH naturally, as needed. Hgh is responsible for growth in the body, but it accounts for so much more, the benefits of which can help you feel and perform years younger than your chronological age.

TAP INTO ALL THE ANTI-AGING SUPERPOWERS OF SERMORELIN THERAPY

AGING; IT ISN’T JUST FOR THE OLD ANYMORE

“FOREVER YOUNG” IS ONLY A BOB DYLAN SONG

No one sings the praises of getting old. With the possible exception of hormone-raging teens, just about everyone wants to look and feel younger. Cher claims she can hold a plank for 15 minutes. Tina Turner can dance anyone under the table. Age is all the rage. The search for eternal youth and the ethos that we all deserve to look 25 forever is driving an anti-aging market to the tune of $200 billion. That’s a lot of zeros.

At Denver Hormone Health, They Know All Too Well.

SLOW DOWN, YOU’RE AGING TOO FAST

When it comes to aging, there are a lot of wrinkles in most people’s thinking. Age and wisdom aren’t always linked. The time comes when you’re of a certain age, just not quite certain what it is. You look at your body and think “nooooooo”. “How did this happen? Your muscles don’t tone to your satisfaction (squats be damned). You’re losing hair (everywhere). You’re gaining a beer belly (when you only indulge in the occasional Pinot Grigio). Sleep calls. (Almost as incessantly than robocalls). You start having senior moments. (You’re not even on the near side of 40). And sex? (Oh, you remember that. You remember it, but you’re not up for it. No pun intended.) You could blame not eating right, not exercising enough, partying too much, smoking, excessive caffeine and well, any number of questionable lifestyle choices. But there’s a good chance that premature aging is the result of hormone imbalances.

At Denver Hormone Health, Hormones are all They Do.

HORMONES AS YOU AGE

Your hormones are chemical messengers that keep your body functioning. From regulating metabolism and growth to controlling immune function and reproduction, hormones are major players in all that you do and all that you are – physically at least. They keep your body healthy by controlling the rate at which new cells grow and by directing your body systems to work in harmony. As we age, changes naturally occur in the way body systems are controlled. Some target tissues become less sensitive to their controlling hormone. The amount of hormones produced may also change. Blood levels of some hormones increase, some decrease, and some are unchanged. Hormones are also broken down (metabolized) more slowly. When any hormones are out of balance, age becomes not just a stage of mind, but a stage of body. Everything can age; your heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, muscles, bones…you get the discouraging picture.

At Denver Hormone Health, They Can Brighten That Picture.

HORMONES THAT AGE YOU

There are some 50 different hormones driving your bus, but here are a few that can really affect the aging process:

  • DHEA
  • HGH (human growth hormone)
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone (men and women)
  • Estrogen (women and men)
  • Cortisol

It would take a tome of explanation to understand the function of all these hormones. What you need to understand is how any imbalance can age you before your time.

Everyone at Denver Hormone Health Knows All Too Well.

THE BEST SIGN OF AGING, IS “STOP”

Another thing to understand is that there is a way to determine the levels of these important “age” hormones. At Denver Hormone Health.
