Hormone testing: Male testosterone production begins to decrease by 1 to 3% per year starting at age 30. At 46 y/o, especially if you have a stressful lifestyle, are obese, have other chronic disease states, or are sedentary probably your levels are low. Have your doc check total and free testosterone, psa, and serum estradiol. Start a high protein/low carbohydrate diet. Suppliment testosterone as indicated.
