Hormone decline

What is hormone decline?

Hormone decline refers to the natural decrease in production of key hormones that occurs as we age. As we enter our mid-30s and beyond, our hormone levels begin to gradually fall, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and DHEA. This decline can have wide-ranging impacts on health and well-being:

Effects of Hormone Decline:

• Effects of low testosterone in men may include loss of energy, low libido, muscle loss, mood changes, among others


• Effects of low estrogen in women may include hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness, low libido, and difficulty sleeping


• Drops in DHEA may affect metabolism, energy levels, immunity, cognitive function, and heart health


• Hormone shifts also correlate with metabolic conditions like weight gain, decreased bone density and muscle mass, and higher risk for diabetes, heart disease, and mental decline

Slowing Down Hormone Decline:

• Lifestyle factors like exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management can slow the rate of decline and optimize your hormone levels. Engaging in weight bearing exercise, eating a nutrient-dense diet, getting adequate rest and relaxation, and reducing inflammation can help.


• Some people choose to pursue professional hormone replacement therapy or balance hormones naturally to alleviate symptoms. It's important to understand the risks and benefits by discussing options with a doctor.

Overall, some hormone decline is inevitable due to natural aging. However, optimizing lifestyle and proactively monitoring your physiology can often substantially slow the decline and allow you to continue enjoying excellent mental and physical health deep into your older years with minimal disruptive symptoms.
