Reduction of Estrogens
Weight loss and exercise may reduce the amount of fat and therefore reduce testosterone aromitzation to estrogen as well as the storage of estrogen in the fat.
Balanced androgenic hormones (phyisiologic level; testosterone to estrogen) are known to supress female characteristics in males. An imbalance of hormones can also lead to female-like physical changes like gynecomastia, where the breast tissue can become excessive. Prostate issues are also related to imbalance of hormones that come with aging.
Supplementation with Zinc and Vitamin C has also been proven to have a positive reduction in the change of testosterone to estrogen in your body.
Testosterone Replacement
Testosterone medication is used to treat males with a known testosterone deficiency. Individualized treatments are available for males who may be experiencing andropause symptoms. Contact us for more information or a doctor referral.
