Get Back To Optimal Levels With Natural Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Natural testosterone replacement therapy can get you back to producing optimal levels of testosterone. Normal and optimal are also not the same. The range of normal is wide and is adjusted downward as you age. However if you are at the lower end of the range or low because it is expected to be low at your age, even if you have symptoms, you will still be told you are normal and will not get low testosterone treatment. Optimal levels differ from person to person and most feel best when they are in the middle to upper range of normal.
Before considering natural testosterone replacement therapy, know that all testosterone is not created equal. Testosterone has to be free to be effective. It travels through your bloodstream bound to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and unless it is released, it has no effect. Many healthcare practitioners do not measure free testosterone. Others only look at free testosterone, however some men (and women) convert testosterone into a stronger form dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This is responsible for hair loss and aggressive behavior if the levels are too high it can raise blood sugar and have negative effects. There are many things to do to slow the conversion and enjoy the effects of optimal testosterone levels without unwanted side effects.
Testosterone can convert into estrogen, which is something that can be prevented with natural testosterone replacement therapy along with correcting the underlying cause. Men with large bellies and breasts are most likely converting their testosterone into estrogen in their belly fat. The enzyme aromatase is responsible for this conversion and can be activated by alcohol, nutritional deficiencies and weight gain. It is important to manage this process as excess estrogen can raise cholesterol and increase the risk of cardiovascular and other disease. There are natural and prescription remedies as well as lifestyle modifications that can prevent conversion and keep your testosterone levels in the optimum range.
