Declining Testosterone

The Decline of Testosterone: Why It Matters and What You Can Do About It

Over the past few decades, studies have shown that average testosterone levels in men are steadily declining. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism revealed that testosterone levels in men have decreased by about 1% per year since the 1980s, meaning that a man in his 30s today may have significantly lower testosterone levels than a man of the same age 30 years ago (Travison et al., 2007).

Why Are Testosterone Levels Declining?

Several factors contribute to this ongoing decline, including:

• Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary behavior, poor diet, and increased stress levels are common in modern life, all of which negatively impact hormone production.

• Environmental Toxins: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in plastics, personal care products, and even food can interfere with testosterone synthesis.

• Chronic Stress: Constant high cortisol levels, caused by chronic stress, can suppress testosterone production.

• Poor Sleep: Inadequate sleep disrupts the body’s natural hormone regulation, including testosterone synthesis.

• Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome: Excess body fat, particularly visceral fat, is associated with lower testosterone levels due to increased aromatase activity, which converts testosterone to estrogen.

How to Combat Low Testosterone Naturally

At The Wellness Lounge, we offer a comprehensive approach to naturally support testosterone levels through targeted therapies and lifestyle interventions:

• Optimize Nutrition with Nutritional Injections and IV Therapy

  • Key nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D are crucial for testosterone production.

  • IV Hydration Therapy replenishes essential vitamins and minerals directly, while nutritional injections provide a boost of testosterone-supporting nutrients.

  • NAD+ Therapy supports cellular repair and energy production, promoting optimal hormone synthesis.

• Reduce Stress with Ozone Therapy and Infrared Sauna

  • Ozone Therapy enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, supporting cellular metabolism and recovery.

  • Infrared Sauna sessions help reduce cortisol levels and support detoxification, indirectly aiding hormonal balance.

  • Cold Plunge Therapy can also reduce inflammation and boost circulation, which supports overall well-being and hormone health.

• Maintain an Active Lifestyle

  • Regular exercise, especially resistance training, is one of the most effective natural ways to boost testosterone.

  • Aim for a mix of strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises to maintain optimal hormone levels.

• Improve Sleep Quality

  • Prioritize sleep hygiene to support natural testosterone production during deep sleep cycles.

  • Consider NAD+ Home Kits to improve mitochondrial function and support more restful sleep.

We first recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Fowler to get an individualized plan of care going.

The Role of NAD+ in Testosterone Production

One of the most cutting-edge therapies offered at The Wellness Lounge is NAD+ IV Therapy. NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body, playing a crucial role in energy metabolism and cellular repair. Recent studies suggest that NAD+ may also play an indirect but significant role in testosterone production.

How NAD+ Supports Testosterone Levels:

• Cellular Energy and Mitochondrial Health: Testosterone production requires significant energy at the cellular level, particularly within the Leydig cells of the testes. NAD+ supports mitochondrial function, which is vital for hormone synthesis.

• Reducing Oxidative Stress: High levels of oxidative stress can impair testosterone production. NAD+ plays a key role in activating sirtuins, which help mitigate oxidative damage and maintain cellular integrity.

• Improving Metabolic Health: Low testosterone is often linked with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. NAD+ helps regulate metabolic processes, potentially supporting healthier testosterone levels by maintaining overall metabolic balance.

Integrating NAD+ Therapy with Other Treatments

At The Wellness Lounge, we offer NAD+ IV Therapy as part of our holistic approach to wellness. Combining NAD+ therapy with other testosterone-supporting treatments—such as nutritional injections, infrared sauna sessions, and cold plunges—can help maximize hormonal balance and vitality.

Why NAD+ Matters for Men’s Health

As men age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to reduced energy, slower recovery, and potentially lower testosterone. By replenishing NAD+ levels, we help restore cellular function and vitality, indirectly supporting testosterone production and overall well-being.
