How Angel Longevity Medical Center Helps Men Restore Vitality with Testosterone Therapy

Aging isn’t something that only affects women. Men also experience hormonal changes as they get older, and one of the most significant of these changes is a decline in testosterone. This condition is often referred to as andropause or male menopause.

For many men, this hormonal shift can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, reduced libido, and even mood swings. However, thanks to advancements in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), men no longer have to accept these symptoms as an inevitable part of aging. 

At Angel Longevity Medical Center, Dr. Anju Mathur and her team are helping men reclaim their health and vitality through personalized testosterone therapy.

What is Andropause?

Andropause typically occurs between the ages of 40 and 55, although testosterone levels begin to decline as early as a man’s 30s. Testosterone is the primary male hormone, responsible for many of the characteristics that define masculinity, such as a deeper voice, body and facial hair, and the development of the male reproductive system. 

Testosterone also governs sexual function, energy levels, and muscle mass. As a man ages, testosterone levels decrease at a rate of about 1 percent each year, leading to a significant hormonal drop by the time he reaches his mid-forties.

This gradual decline in testosterone can result in a wide variety of physical, emotional, and mental changes. Common symptoms of andropause include:

• Muscle atrophy
• Erectile dysfunction
• Lower libido
• Thinning hair
• Weight gain, particularly around the midsection
• Insomnia
• Anxiety and depression
• Fatigue and night sweats

These symptoms can be distressing, but the good news is that andropause doesn’t have to control your life. Through BHRT, men can restore their testosterone levels to optimal ranges, effectively combating the negative effects of hormonal decline.

The Benefits of Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy at Angel Longevity Medical Center uses bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to those produced naturally by the human body. 

Because of this, they are easily metabolized, providing relief from symptoms without the risk of side effects associated with synthetic hormones. Many men who have undergone testosterone therapy at Angel Longevity have reported feeling younger, healthier, and more energetic.

Dr. Anju Mathur explains the benefits of this therapy:

“At Angel Longevity, we understand that hormonal decline can severely impact a man’s quality of life. With bioidentical testosterone therapy, we’re able to not only treat the symptoms of andropause but also restore our patients’ sense of vitality and well-being. It’s a comprehensive approach to male health, designed to help men feel as strong and energetic as they did in their younger years.”

Here are some of the key benefits of testosterone therapy for men experiencing andropause:

1. Improved Sexual Function and Libido

One of the primary symptoms of andropause is a decrease in sexual function, including erectile dysfunction and reduced libido. Testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual health, and when levels decline, men often experience difficulties in these areas. By supplementing testosterone with bioidentical hormone therapy, many men find that their libido and sexual function improve significantly. In fact, many patients report feeling like they did in their 20s and 30s.

2. Increased Muscle Tone and Strength

Muscle atrophy, or the loss of muscle mass, is a common side effect of testosterone deficiency. During andropause, men can lose as much as 12-15 pounds of muscle, which can result in decreased strength and endurance. Testosterone therapy can reverse this trend by promoting muscle growth and improving overall muscle tone. With increased testosterone levels, many men find that they regain the motivation to exercise, and their stamina and endurance improve.

3. Fat Loss

Weight gain, especially around the midsection, is a common complaint among men experiencing andropause. This occurs because muscle burns fat, and with the loss of muscle mass, the body is less efficient at metabolizing fat. Low testosterone levels also slow down metabolism, leading to further weight gain. By restoring testosterone to optimal levels, the body can more effectively burn fat, leading to a leaner and healthier physique.

4. Better Sleep Quality

Many men with low testosterone levels struggle with sleep disturbances, such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or vivid dreaming. These disruptions can prevent proper rest, leading to fatigue and irritability. By balancing testosterone levels, men can enjoy better quality sleep. In turn, this can improve energy levels and overall well-being.

5. Regulated Body Temperature

Fluctuating testosterone levels can interfere with the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for regulating body temperature. This can result in hot flashes, night sweats, or chills. Balancing testosterone through hormone therapy can help regulate body temperature, reducing these uncomfortable symptoms.

6. Improved Mood and Emotional Well-Being

Mood swings, anxiety, and depression are all common symptoms of andropause. These emotional changes occur due to the fluctuation of hormones like testosterone and estrogen. By regulating testosterone levels, men can experience more stable moods, reduced anxiety, and an overall improvement in emotional health.

7. Enhanced Prostate Health

Low testosterone levels can contribute to the enlargement of the prostate, which can cause urinary issues such as frequent or nocturnal urination. Restoring testosterone to healthy levels can help support prostate health and reduce the risk of urinary complications.

8. Thicker, Healthier Hair

As testosterone levels decline, men may experience thinning hair or hair loss. This is because testosterone works with DHT, a hormone responsible for maintaining hair follicles. With testosterone therapy, hair follicles can remain active, allowing men to retain thicker, healthier hair.
