WWR 241: Andropause

Have you wondered what the signs are of men aging? Do they go through a similar transition to menopause? The answer is absolutely, yes. Let us introduce you to Andropause, a distinct but more subtle phase for men that typically starts around 40 years old with a slow and gradual decline in testosterone. These changes are pretty normal and can go unnoticed unless they’re accompanied by a decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced cognitive function, mood changes such as fatigue, depression and anger, a decrease in muscle mass and strength and the list goes on! Is there anything men can do, or that the women in their lives can support them with, to ensure these andropause changes are minimal. Tune into this weeks episode of Wellness Women Radio to find out!
