If you’re struggling with low energy, low libido, weak muscles, or difficulty losing weight, low testosterone could be part of the picture. This often happens due to chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, or undereating.
Even if your testosterone levels have come back normal on a test, you could still have an androgen imbalance. Androgens are the group of 'male' hormones, which includes testosterone, but also DHEA and DHT. Androgens play a role in things like skin, hair growth, metabolism, and mood. This calculator uses 'testosterone' as the category because it’s the most well-known androgen, but it could be the other androgens causing your symptoms if your testosterone levels are normal. If your results suggest an imbalance, it may be worth testing your testosterone levels, as well as the other androgens like DHEA or DHT.
These steps aim to support the body's natural ability to produce and sustain healthy testosterone levels. I help clients rebuild their testosterone levels naturally through my Balance Your Hormones Program by showing them how to eat in a way that supports hormone production (without relying on supplements) and how to exercise in a way that stimulates testosterone naturally. We also focus on reducing stress and improving sleep—both essential for bringing testosterone back up over time.
