In this video, I’ll uncover many of the symptoms of low testosterone so that you can
determine whether or not low testosterone is an issue for you. Many men realize at some
point in their life that they just don’t feel like they used to. They don’t have
the vitality anymore, they don’t have the energy anymore and they start to think “Maybe
I have low testosterone?” and then they ask themselves “What are the symptoms of
low testosterone?” That’s what we are going to discuss in this video. We are going
to talk about the symptoms of low testosterone and of course, we are going to discuss why
men start to have lower testosterone in the first place. We’re going to discuss all
of the different reasons and how it affects you in your day to day life. And so, let’s
go ahead and dive in. But before we do I am Dr. Zyrowski and welcome to the channel. If

in the first place because there are a lot of reasons here. A lot of men, like I said,
are asking what are the symptoms. They are seeing all of these ads for testosterone replacement
therapy, I’m a big fan of doing it naturally and making sure we boost testosterone naturally
and I’ll give you resources in this video for that. But first, let’s talk about, normal
with ageing. It is estimated that pretty much as male hits 30 years old, from there on out
testosterone starts to decline. So that’s something that if out testosterone starts
to decline then we will start to get all of the different symptoms that we will talk about
in just a moment here. So normal with ageing. Obesity. So, there is 40% of the people in
the world and about 13% of the people in the world are obese and so if we are obese, if
we are overweight it is going to affect our testosterone levels. That extra weight is
not good for overall testosterone levels. So, of course, we want to slim down in order
to boost the testosterone as well. Stress is another big factor. So whenever it is chemical
stress, emotional stress, physical stress all of these different stressors on our body
is going to rise cortisol and what was found in the research is that when cortisol goes
up testosterone goes down. Basically, it is going to block testosterone. So we want to
make sure that if someone is stressed out all of the time then we are realizing that
stress is playing a role in decreasing our testosterone. Soy-based products. So oaky,
soy-based products. When you get a lot of these different soy protein shakes and soy
bars and all of these different soy foods that people are eating. These have phytoestrogens
in them. Basically, what as found was when you’re consuming soy products and you are
consuming phytoestrogens it is going to raise up your estrogen levels and as a result, it
will drive down your testosterone. So this is the same thing, whenever it is men or women
it is very important to be sure that you are avoiding these soy-based products so you can
be sure that you are not driving testosterone down. Vegetable oils is also a big one. Now,
vegetable oils are going to have the unsaturated fats in them and basically, there’s lots
of studies out there. I mean there are plenty of studies. There was one in particular where
they took 69 men, they had them consume more of the vegetable oils and as a result, it
was consistently driving their testosterone levels down. So we want to make sure that
we are staying away from those different vegetable oils out there. Flaxseed is another one that
drives down testosterone. Now, this is one that is generally thought to be very healthy
for us. A lot of people are putting flaxseed in their shake and that kind of thing but
the truth is that there is something called lignans in the flaxseed and what this is,
is a plant-based compound that is going to bind up testosterone and excrete it from the
body causing it to drive down testosterone levels. So Flaxseed is something that does
that. Processed foods is also a big one. There’s also lot’s of trans fats which are proven
to drive down testosterone but you are also going to get a lot of artificial food colorings,
you’re going to get a lot of sugar, you’re going to get all of the things that you don’t
want if you want to have a good healthy level of testosterone. So, we do want to stay away
from all of these processed foods. Make sure when you eat a food, you can actually understand
the ingredient and there are not about 30 different ingredients in every food you are
eating because theres a good chance that if that’s the case then it is a very unhealthy
food for you. Alcohol is another one, now when we talk about alcohol, in general, it
is going to be someone who is going to be drinking 2-3 per day. If you are drinking
2-3 acholic beverages per day you are going to likely have a problem with testosterone.
We got to be careful with the alcohol. And then lack of exercise. I talk about it all
of the time, how exercise is critically important for the overall human body, it is woven into
our DNA, to our genetics that we need to have daily exercise without it we will have lower
testosterone levels. Now, let’s go ahead and talk about the symptoms of low t. Okay,
now the symptoms are very important like I said I am not a fan of doing hormone replacement
therapy here. I actually use a nutritional product in my clinic in order to bring up
testosterone levels. We are using patented, reach based nutrients that really drive that
up. I will put a link in the description below here so you can check that out effectively.
Let’s now look at the symptoms to see if this is something you would benefit from.
First of all, is low sex drive. Like I said, many men as they age they think it is just
part of aging but the problem is with aging comes lower testosterone which causes lowe
sex drive. So, if we actually naturally boost those levels up we can actually improve that.
Erectile dysfunction is another major issue that comes along with low testosterone levels.
Hair loss, fatigue is a major one as well. So a lot of guys just find that they don’t
have any energy at all so when they start boosting their testosterone levels a little
it is amazing the reports that come out of that where it is like wow I have so much energy
now, it’s just changed my life. It is really incredible. Loss od muscle mass, this is another
thing as you age if you are a man you start to lose muscle mass, you are starting to not
be able to go to the gym and work out and put the muscle mass on the same. Lower testosterone
bubbles, so you will start to get lower muscle mass there. Increased body fat is another
issue. This is literally the typical story of an aging man, right? He starts to lose
muscle mass, he starts to get body fat and lower testosterone. So if we can boost those
up naturally we can help fight off some of that body fat. Decreased bone mass is another
issue as well. Mood changes are going to be anything from anxiety to depression to just
feeling of loneliness. All of these different feelings that can come along with low testosterone
and the affected memory. Your memory is not as sharp, you are finding that you can not
stay as focused, concentration is out of the window. The affected memory, the affected
brain function is all apart of low testosterone as well. Now also what I want to do is share
with you a video I did right over here and in this video, I talked about the different
nutrients you can use in order to boost testosterone up so check out that video it is very important.
Now like I said, when it comes to testosterone here are the different symptoms and here are
the different reasons people have low testosterone. Here are some of them, okay. Now the thing
is, I am not a fan of all of these different hormone replacement therapies out there. I
believe in working to boost testosterone naturally through lifestyle factors, improving your
diet, making sure you are getting proper exercise, making sure that you are using proper nutrients
like the one I mentioned. I will put a link in the description, using different nutrients
to boost your testosterone levels and then if all else fails then you can look into different
methods but I am a big fan of doing the natural stuff first and then going in and if that
doesn’t work, which it does 99.9% of the time, and if that doesn’t work then go to
some of these other methods. That wraps this video up. Give it a thumbs up, share it with
your friends. A lot of men are having issues with this, share it with your friends. If
