Why is testosterone so important?
In both men and women, testosterone plays a key role in bone and muscle development. It also helps to maintain those tissues as we age. Testosterone levels impact metabolism, energy production, mood, sexual function, and brain health. When hormone levels are low, immune function and inflammation are negatively impacted. For men, it is the primary sex hormone, and responsible for all of their “male” features. Low testosterone is associated with infertility, metabolic syndrome, heart disease, and shortened lifespan. For women, the role of testosterone in preventing osteoporosis after menopause is often overlooked. While estrogen levels drop off, testosterone can help to maintain your bone mass.Wondering if you have low T?
