Dads, You Can Get Older & Better

Dr. Enrique Jacome

I’m sure you have heard it by now. The numerous commercials out there now for men:  Low T affecting your life? When did that become so popular?  We, at SottoPelle, have been treating men with Low T for years.  Yet we find it odd that many  have never heard of Andropause. Menopause is ubiquitous and the symptoms are well-known. But Andropause is rarely a thought and a bit of a mystery to most if not unheard of entirely. 

A common side-effect of Andropause is the enormous lack of energy. Men find themselves uninterested in pursuing things that they used to enjoy purely because they do not have the energy. This is often attributed as “just getting older.” While this is something that happens to men as they age, it is not simply because you are getting older. As men age, they begin to lose their testosterone.  Did you know that men, around the age of 50, have lost half their testosterone?  No wonder everyone is jumping on the “proverbial” bandwagon and talking about Low T.

So men let’s get you back to living life, enjoying life and giving back to yourself and those around you.

With summer a time for being active and outdoors, a lack of energy can dampen your plans. Try these following tips to get the energy boost you’re looking for.

• Vitamins – be sure that you are receiving all the vitamins you need. B6, B12, thiamin, and riboflavin are essential components for producing energy.
• Say Yes to Breakfast – breakfast can help you feel mentally and physically better longer. Choosing whole grainswill provide longer-lasting energy that your body needs. Yogurt helps your body be better at absorbing nutrients that your cells need to store energy. Be sure you get your berries, berries contain energy boosters called anthocyanins.
• Let in the Sun – Sunlight helps your body get vitamin D that it needs to keep energy levels up. Fish and Vitamin D-fortified skim milk are also excellent sources.
• Beat the 3 o’clock Slump – Instead of giving in to the late afternoon slump, try going for a brisk walk which will return oxygen to your blood cells and help you feel more energetic to get through the rest of the afternoon.
• Check your Hormones – getting your hormones checked is important to be sure that your body is producing what it needs to. If it is not, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can help your body get what it needs.

Hormones can play a major factor in the amount of energy you have. Fortunately, SottoPelle has been diagnosing and treating men with andropause for years. SottoPelle understands the strain a lack of energy can put on your work, free time and even your relationship. SottoPelle is committed to helping you get back to all the things you love and getting the energy to tackle whatever comes your way.
