Dr. Stanley Himes answered

Specializes in Integrative Medicine

Low Testosterone: suggest you see a functional medicine physician and get a saliva test of your testosterone level. You need to lower your stress levels by meditation, abdominal breathing exercises, etc. physical exercise is important and a balanced diet without processed foods. Testosterone replacement would be the last thing I would do.
