Full Description
Over the past few decades, average
testosterone levels have been declining at an alarming rate, even when adjusted
for age. Deficiency impacts not only fertility and muscle mass, as is generally
recognised, but all aspects of physical, mental and emotional health. Furthermore,
it can affect the epigenetics of a man's future children - low testosterone
today may set the stage for even greater hormonal and metabolic dysfunction in
the next generation. This book provides a structured overview and distillation
of what the author had to learn through his own research, clinical practice,
patient experience and personal journey because this was not part of his
medical training or education. His book goes beyond symptom lists and blood
test results (both controversial) to provide a roadmap for the individual to understand
testosterone's central role in their development, health and identity.
