What You Need to Know About Testosterone Benefits
Right around the age of 30, most men experience a significant “shift” in their lives. They can’t tell what it is. They can’t quite put their finger on it. All they know is, something has “changed”. Usually, men attribute it to being “tired” from working so hard, keeping up with the kids and maintaining their household. The supposition is, “if I can only get one good nights rest, I’ll be all better the next day,” but that day never comes. (*) Individual Results May Vary & Are Not Guaranteed
Why Testosterone Therapy?
Testosterone is a hormone that is produced primarily in the testicles and is essential to the development of male growth and masculine characteristics. When these levels drop, either naturally due to age or as a result of experiencing trauma, be it physical or mental, the body begins to experience age-related manifestations and ailments such as mid waste body fat, fatigue, cardiovascular issues, metabolic syndrome, mental fog, (*) etc.
AAI Clinics’ physician protocols can bring patient levels back to what they used to be in their youth… and help maintain them there. Once testosterone levels are brought back to optimal levels and kept there, the body responds to those levels appropriately. Clinical studies show a regression in those age-related symptoms and diseases. Moreover, a continuance of therapy can manifest anti-aging results such as the strengthening of your bones and muscles, including the heart, a surge in sex drive and erection potential, mental clarity and memory increase, to name a few.

Testosterone Benefits: Healthy Heart and Blood:
A healthy heart pumps blood to the rest of the body, providing muscles and organs with the oxygen needed for peak performance. Low testosterone levels are linked to a variety of cardiovascular risks. According to Harvard Medical School, testosterone replacement therapy can widen coronary arteries. This may be helpful for men with angina, chest pain, and pressure when your heart doesn’t get enough blood. Testosterone also can cause red blood cell counts to rise, which is a good thing if you have anemia (low red blood cell count).

Leaner body mass helps control weight and increases energy. There is evidence that testosterone treatment can decrease fat and increase muscle size and strength. This effect is greater if you combine treatment with strength training and exercise. A study of 108 men over age 65 showed that testosterone treatment significantly decreased fat, especially in the arms and legs. Those same men had an increase in lean mass, mostly in the trunk. The men were treated with testosterone injections for 36 months. Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (*)Testosterone Benefits: Stronger Bones:
Strong bones help support your muscles and internal organs, which can boost athletic performance. As men age and testosterone levels drop, so does bone density. This raises the risk of weak bones and osteoporosis. A study published in Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism indicates that older men can increase their bone density with testosterone replacement therapy. This is especially true of men who had very low testosterone levels before beginning therapy. (*)Testosterone Benefits: Better Libido:
Testosterone injections levels naturally rise in response to sexual arousal and activity. Testosterone levels fall off during long periods of abstinence. In turn, more testosterone boosts sexual desire, continuing the cycle. Testosterone has been shown to have a positive effect on a man’s sexual drive and performance. Testosterone injections also affect a woman’s sex drive. According to the Mayo Clinic, there aren’t many studies about long-term safety in women, so doctors may be reluctant to prescribe it. (*)Testosterone Benefits: Improving Mood:
Testosterone affects everything for men and, most especially, the male brain. One of the surprising things that testosterone injections effects, and very rapidly, is a mood. Yes, testosterone can make us guys “bitchy”. In fact, believe it or not, researchers have a term for it: Irritable Male Syndrome. Researchers first noticed the effects of low testosterone in animals and have since studied this effect in a wide variety of mammals. What is counterintuitive is that instead of becoming docile and quiet, males with decreased testosterone injections become much more prone to fighting. Researchers noted that it could likely be due to a drop in brain opioids that are necessary for mood elevation. Thus they become both fearful and irritable at the same time – a toxic combination by any standards. (*) Testosterone Injections – Curious about testosterone injections Therapy?
