Menopause is more obvious for women because symptoms present quickly. End of menstruation is a very noticeable signal. However, there is no obvious event that signifies andropause for men. Quality of life slowly dwindles, and it’s not always associated with dropping testosterone levels.
Cortisol can deplete testosterone. Reduce stressors that are under your control.
Tips for Improving Your Testosterone Levels
- Lose weight.
- Make time to meditate, pray or use a calming app to let your body relax a little each day.
- Work to get plenty of sleep every night.
