Aging-related hormone changes in men are different from those in women. Unlike the more dramatic reproductive hormone plunge that occurs in women during menopause, sex hormone changes in men occur gradually. A man's testosterone levels decline on average about 1% a year after age 40. Some men may dismiss certain symptoms as just a consequence of getting older, but such symptoms often reveal insufficient levels of testosterone and other hormones including DHEA and thyroid hormone. 

Research has begun to reveal a decline in both testosterone and sperm quality and production in men in industrialized countries across the globe.

Testosterone and healthy optimal blood levels have a profound relationship with optimal health in men. Lowering testosterone levels are related to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. Testosterone is responsible for healthy neurological function and improved psycho-social and behavioral dynamics.
