Growing older has long been associated with slowing down. If your youthful energy has faded to a distant memory, chances are hormones are involved. Optimal levels of the male androgens testosterone and DHEA help provide the virility, stamina and drive in men. When they decline in middle age (typically beginning at about age 40), metabolic changes occur that can sap energy and strength.

If progesterone and testosterone levels fall low enough to create an imbalance called estrogen dominance, restful sleep patterns may begin to suffer. Inadequate sleep obviously contributes to fatigue. Stress, too, may play a role. Chronic stress especially (ongoing stress that lasts three months or more) negatively affects hormone production, contributing to imbalances that derail metabolic processes designed to promote energy and vitality.

The right ratio of testosterone to cortisol (stress hormone) is an important determinant of energy, endurance, and resilience in the mid-life male.

The right ratio of testosterone to cortisol (stress hormone) is an important determinant of energy, endurance, and resilience in the mid-life male: do you have what it takes to feel good and “on top of your game,” or are you generally tired and feeling “off your game”? If cortisol levels remain high for too long, testosterone levels fall flat leading to hormone imbalance and its predictable symptoms.
