The Startling Decline of Testosterone
While it may be startling, the average male testosterone level, irrespective of age, has been on a steady decline. Shockingly, it's about 30% lower than in the late 1980s. While there are multiple reasons for this decline, one significant factor is the presence of endocrine disruptors in our environment. These toxins, including phthalates, BPA, and atrazine, have infiltrated our daily lives by polluting our food, water, and home products, leading to drops in sperm count and fertility rates.
The Aging Process and Testosterone
Regardless of environmental factors, testosterone levels naturally peak around the age of 30 and then decline by 1-2% per year. Why? Because every 4 seconds one testosterone-producing cell in your testicles meets its end. Yup, gone… Plus, if you're carrying extra weight, the news isn't great: for every one-point increase in your BMI, there's an estimated 2% drop in testosterone. This is because fat cells have high concentrations of the enzyme aromatase, whose job is to siphon off a portion of your testosterone and turn it into estrogen.
Andropause: The Less-Talked-About Male Menopause
While menopause in women is a widely discussed and researched topic, its male counterpart, Andropause, often goes unnoticed. Derived from the Greek words "Andras" (human male) and "pause" (cessation), Andropause is a syndrome in older men marked by a decline in testosterone levels. You may have also heard it called “male menopause,” “male climacteric,” “androclise,” “androgren decline in aging male (ADAM),” “aging male syndrome, and even “late-onset hypogonadism (LOH).”
No matter the name, symptoms range from loss of libido and reduced morning erections to fatigue and mood disturbances. Unlike the well-defined process of menopause in women, Andropause has a more insidious onset and gradual progression.

Natural Ways to Boost Testosterone:
While testosterone levels naturally decline with age, there are several natural methods to slow or even reverse this process. Here's a deep dive into some of these methods:
- Prioritize Sleep: Sleep is essential for overall health, and a lack of it can adversely affect testosterone levels. A study from the University of Chicago found that restricted sleep could lead to a drop in testosterone levels by up to 15%. So, you should aim for at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night.
- Proper Diet: Vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc are important for maintaining optimal testosterone levels. Avoid overeating and yo-yo dieting. Boost healthy fats and protein intake.
- Lift Weights: Whole-body, compound movements (Squats, deadlifts, rows, pullups, pushups, Kettblebells) are great. On the other hand, prolonged aerobic exercise (like long-distance running) may decrease testosterone.
- Lose Excess Weight: As mentioned above, carrying extra weight will significantly reduce testosterone levels. By balancing a proper diet and exercise, you may be able to shed some extra pounds to prevent that extra testosterone loss rate.
- Lower Stress: Chronic stress creates elevated cortisol levels and lowers testosterone. Finding healthy ways to cope with stress is essential to maintain balanced testosterone levels.
- Limit Alcohol & Avoid Drug Abuse: Excessive alcohol consumption and drug abuse have been linked to decreased testosterone levels. It's critical to consume alcohol in moderation and avoid drug misuse.
- Review Medications: Some medications, like statins, can reduce testosterone levels. If you suspect your medication is affecting your testosterone, you can consult with your primary care physician or with Dr. Turner to determine if there are alternative treatment options you can pursue.
The Silver Lining: When Natural Just Isn't Enough
While natural methods can effectively boost testosterone levels, sometimes they just don't cut it. For those moments when nature needs a nudge, advanced testosterone replacement options are available, like injectables and creams. These treatments can work hand-in-hand with natural methods, ensuring you achieve the desired effect.
