Men, Have You Lost Your Spring?

Dr. Enrique Jacome

Calling all men! Have you found yourself becoming more sluggish as you get older? Is the warmer weather not having the same mood lifting effect it used to have? Around the age of thirty, men begin to have a gradual decrease in hormone production. Around ages forty to fifty-five, men’s testosterone levels sharply drop and the natural phenomenon of andropause begins.

Andropause can cause sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue and decreased energy. With spring in the air, don’t you think it’s time for a fresh start? Rejuvenate your energy with a few of these tips along with the SottoPelle Method.

Shut it Down – Tablets, computers, televisions and smart phones emit blue wavelengths that slow down the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. Many of us find ourselves combatting lack of sleep by exposing ourselves to even more of these blue wavelengths by browsing on our phones until we’re tired. Try keeping your gadgets further away than an arm’s length when you’re getting ready to go to bed so you can have an easier time falling asleep and staying asleep. Getting plenty of sleep at night is important to being more alert during the day.

Enjoy the Spring Weather – Studies have shown that being outside and taking an outdoor walk have increased energy in subjects. Take advantage of nice days, breathe in the fresh air and allow yourself some time to clear your mind.

Tune In – Music has shown to be effect at not only calming people down but also energizing them depending on what’s playing. Because there is no specific genre or beat that does this deciding what will get you going is up to you! Find some energizing music and make a playlist. Maybe you can even listen to it on your nice spring day walk!

These are only a few suggestions on how to combat an unwelcomed lack of energy. However, if you’re a man suffering from andropause it is important to speak with your doctor about how abioidentical hormone replacement therapy such as the SottoPelle Method can help you rebalance your hormones to help you feel like yourself once more.
