Matt, a testosterone (T) level of 479 is not a youhtful level. A T level in the high 400’s is normal for older men, but not necessarily optimal. Using the same (Lab Corp) range cited, a level exceeding 600 is associated with higher vitality, libido, and enthusiasm for life, according to doctors using bio-identical T therapy. The Life Extension Foundation recommends aiming for the top third of the 20-30 year-old T range, which I recall begins well into the 600’s. When T levels fall gradually, the resulting incremental nature of the physical and mental changes may not be perceived as losses in function.Higher intake of saturated fats, monosaturated fats, and especially Vitamin A (high-vitamin cod-liver oil and liver) is associated with higher T levels. Vitamin A is a requirement for the manufacture of T in the testes.

Testosterone of 427 is only slightly low for your age, possible there is an emotional issue or adrenal dysfunction causing your symptoms

I have been diagnosed with low T in the past,this makes me wonder if the T was out of sync then maybe other harmones could be out of range.
Latest medical provider doesn’t think it’s a issue as I am extremely
Over weight and severely depressed,No energy.(he seems to think its
Phycological.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Hi Wes
Getting a comprehensive hormone test assessing adrenal and sex hormones would be a good idea, along with inflammation and blood sugar markers, if you need help organising this contact tests@planetnaturopath.com
I am 67; had prostrate, testicles, and part of my bladder removed almost 4 years ago due to cancer. I have one functioning kidney. I am working and still quite active. Life is good. Would like to know if it could be better with some hormone therapy.
ReplyHi Doug
The only way to know if hormone replacement therapy would help would be to test your hormones to see if you are deficient, hormone replacement therapy would be a last resort and I would consider natural options first

This could be hormone imbalance but if you have only been experiencing this for a couple of days it may be a viral or bacterial infection …. doing some testing will take out the guess work
ReplyI would follow up with your doctor who can advise you on the best treatment options for cancer

Sir can any of the above situations of hormonal imbalance cause hairfall?
Replyyes low levels of nutrients such as zinc and high levels of 5a-DHT, these can be tested via Planet Naturopath

a trichologist sugestted me to use dutasteride for hairloss….i taken dutasteride for 14 days nd face serious side effects like lower libido nd erectile dysynfunction…how to cure it without side effects////.
ReplyYou need to do some testing to find out the cause of the hair loss, is it due to low levels of nutrients or possible high levesl of 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone?
You can test all of these through Planet Naturopath
Sir I am 18 years old and I still haven’t a test yet but as I look to myself and see the signs, I can tell that I have Hormonal Imbalance. My hair is weak also I feel like losing strength. I also can’t see my Adam’s Apple and I also do have enlargement of breasts. Can I ask an opinion on how can I improve my testerone level naturally and lessen estrogen which causes imbalance in my body. Thanks in advance Sir.

Hello, I had Gynocomastia surgery in February 2009 which was successful until about December 2011/January 2012. I regrew my man boobs, I then had an in office procedure to trim the fat around the chest which didn’t do much of anything. I then had full on gynocomastia surgery in February 2014 which again was great until 2 days ago when now I grew a boob only on my left chest/pec. I have spent about $12,000 on surgeries and am not sure what to do. I am going back to the surgeon who did my surgery in Feb 2014 to speak with him. I am not sure if I have a hormonal problem, I did have blood test before the surgeries that indicated I did not. I lift weights and do not use steroids, I use pre workouts and protein that I buy from vitamin shoppe and they have no hormones or testosterone. I take Amino Acids, multivitamin, vitamin C, biotin. All things that are purchased at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. Nothing illegal, any idea or suggestions on something to forever cure this ?
ReplyA blood test only measures the levels of the hormones in your blood, I would recommend a DUTCH hormone test to identify not only the levels of your hormones but how your body is detoxifying the estrogens and testosterone. Poor detoxification or methylation of the hormones is going to lead to this problem reoccurring again.
The DUTCH test also measures adrenal function, high cortisol can also lead to problems with the sex hormones and promote more estrogen.
There is more info about the test here https://www.planetnaturopath.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

ReplyHello Sunil there are many causes of high blood pressure, and sometimes high blood pressure can have no known cause. Hormones like cortisol can influence blood pressure but I would assess other causes first

It would be a good idea to do some testing to assess the underlying cause, this could be caused by a circulation issue, hormone problem or even an injury if you are having trouble with movement
