Symptoms of Low Testosterone
The symptoms of hormonal imbalance and low testosterone can be difficult to see. Think back… Remember when you were 23? How did you feel? Did you wake up and feel your inner machinery whirring at maximum velocity? Now days your body is different. Does not having morning wood anymore mean you have low testosterone? That feeling you knew so well before you felt the ever growing decay of your own biological clock, can still be achieved! What would it feel like to step into the hormones of your younger self? However, the more important question is, how do you feel now?
Do You Feel….
Do you feel, or have you ever noticed, any of the following:
- Low sex drive
- Fatigue
- Reduced lean muscle mass
- Irritability
- Erectile dysfunction
- Depression
These are all symptoms of low testosterone. If any of them ring a bell to you then you should call and make an appointment with Swole Alternative Medicine. Nevertheless, those are not the only symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance. What about this second set of symptoms?
- weight gain
- a hump of fat between the shoulders
- fatigue
- muscle weakness
- muscle aches, tenderness, and stiffness
- pain, stiffness, or swelling in your joints
- increased or decreased heart rate
- sweating
- increased sensitivity to cold or heat
- increased thirst
- depression
- nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
- blurred vision
- infertility
- thinning hair or fine, brittle hair
- dry skin
- puffy face
Hopefully these do not sound familiar to you. However if any of them do, it could point to signs of hormonal imbalance. Hormones account for an incredible multitude of biological systems which operate continuously until they don’t… This is why most of us over the age of 40 begin to feel a sense of decay or “slowing down”. The question is still on the table though. What would it feel like to step into the shoes of your younger self? In a phrase, it would feel absolutely blissful. Many people look for quick fixes that actually do nothing. Trying things like using essential oils for low testosterone might even make thing worse.
How Diet Can Affect Testosterone
It’s no secrect that there are foods out there that actually lower your testosterone levels.

- Licorice Root
