In considering hormone treatment, remember, you are not alone. All men experience male menopause. To start, you should ask yourself if you have some or all of the following symptoms:
Symptoms of Andropause (Male Menopause)
- Decreased mental quickness and sharpness
- Decreased energy, strength and endurance
- Less desire for activity and exercise
- Decreased muscle and increased body fat
- Night sweats and trouble sleeping
- Mild to moderate depression and irritability
- Depression and/or loss of eagerness and enthusiasm for daily life
- Decreased sex drive
- Decreased sexual function and/or sensitivity
*After reciting their symptoms, most men summarize there concerns saying 'I just want to feel better.' Though sexual issues are important, for most men, "feel better" means getting back their zest for life (losing the depression that goes with low testosterone) and gaining energy.
Fact: reNEW MAN has been providing andropause treatment and male hormone replacement programs for over ten years.
Basic Principles of Male Hormone Replacement: ** Testosterone and Thyroid supplementation can be used effectively with HGH (growth hormone)-- there is a 1+1=3 relationship. ** Testosterone and thyroid can be used effectively without HGH ** HGH cannot be used effectively without good levels of testosterone and thyroid.
What to expect from the basic program using testosterone and thyroid.
Everyone is different. However, after 10 years of experience, there is a general progression of change experience by our clients.
Week 1: Mental quickness and clarity – “It is like a fog lifting”.
Week 2 to 3: You will start to wake up in the morning with the “old zest for life” because you loose a depression you may not have known you had. One book on the subject referred to it as “getting your MoJo back.”
Energy and endurance will start to increase – it is critical that you eat correctly (watch your refined carbohydrates) and be active. We tell clients, “If you sit on the couch and munch potato chips, you WILL be disappointed”.
If you have been experiencing mood swings, night sweats, etc., it should correct itself about this time. The “grumpy old man” will leave the building.
Week 3 to 4: Increase in morning erections, perhaps some sexual night dreams and more day dreams. Sex drive takes a nice kick upward.
The above then builds over the next couple of months.
For those into formal workouts: Your workouts will start to become easier and recovery time will start to improve in the weeks 3 to 4. Improved physical results from workouts will start to be seen in about 5 to 6 weeks.
For those of you into cost benefit analysis -- ROI:
- You can do a cost benefit for testosterone / thyroid in 4 to 6 weeks.
- Cost benefit on HGH in 2 to 6 months. Closer to 2 months if you practice good lifestyle, e.g. diet, exercise, and controlling stress. Your results will be closer to 6 months if you are more “relaxed” about these issues.
Cost benefit on hormone treatment should include 2 compnents: 1) Subjective -- feeling better, improved relationships at work and home, etc.,. 2) Obnjective -- improvement in productuvity, improvement in bottom line income, etc.,. We often get call from clients, “My income is up and I have energy left over for my family at the end of the day and my wife at night.”
