Declining Testosterone Levels in Men

Over the past few decades, testosterone levels are declining in men of all ages.

There are many reasons, like ever-increasing stress in our daily lives, obesity, and other outside contributing factors.

Improve Your Testosterone Levels

At Core Medical Group, we develop methods and HRT protocols to help boost testosterone levels and improve overall health. Here are the top 3 ways to improve your testosterone levels. 

Exercising at least three to four times per week. It helps raise testosterone and makes our cells more sensitive to insulin (reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes).

Quality sleep is also essential. Studies show that less than five hours can decrease testosterone and sperm count after only one week. Improving your sleep quality can also help decrease the amount of cortisol. It leads to more stress, anxiety, and high blood pressure. 

Do blood work at least 1x per year. It is critical for our medical staff to understand your baseline health and how we can adequately manage your hormones back to optimal levels.
