As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to fatigue, weight gain, reduced libido, and a general decrease in well-being. After the age of 35, many men begin to notice these changes — yet not everyone knows how to manage them. Let’s explore the key facts, symptoms, and ways to boost testosterone.

Why Does Testosterone Decrease After 35?

After the age of 30–35, men experience a gradual decline in testosterone — about 1–2% per year. This is a natural process, but it can be accelerated by factors such as:

• Chronic stress and lack of sleep
• Low physical activity
• Poor diet and excess weight
• Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals
• Harmful habits (alcohol, smoking)

If you're noticing symptoms of low testosterone, it's time to take action.

Signs of Testosterone Deficiency

Men with low testosterone often experience:

• Decreased energy and chronic fatigue
• Weight gain, especially around the abdomen
• Loss of muscle mass and strength
• Problems with libido and erectile function
• Irritability and reduced concentration

How to Boost Testosterone and Regain Masculine Vitality

Maintaining healthy testosterone levels requires a comprehensive approach to overall health:

1. Physical activity – Strength training and high-intensity workouts promote testosterone production.
2. Quality sleep – 7–8 hours a night is essential; poor sleep leads to hormone decline.
3. Balanced nutrition – Rich in protein, healthy fats, zinc, and vitamin D.
4. Stress management – Meditation, relaxation, and work-life balance are crucial.
5. Hormone therapy – If natural methods are ineffective, consult a doctor about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).

Client Story: How Testosterone Restoration Changed a Life

A 41-year-old man came to Aesthetemed Beauty and Wellness Clinic with complaints of low energy, decreased motivation, declining physical condition, and reduced libido. Despite leading an active lifestyle, training regularly, and eating well, he no longer felt productive or energized.

Diagnosis: A Personalized Approach

Under the care of our experienced specialist, Dr. Julio Nietto, a board certified internist and hormone balance expert, the patient underwent a full consultation and diagnostic workup. The diagnosis: secondary hypogonadism, a condition where testosterone levels drop due to insufficient stimulation from the pituitary gland.

Lab tests included:

• CBC, CMP
• Total and free testosterone
• LH and FSH
• SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin)
• Prolactin
• Estradiol
• Vitamin D
• Minerals: zinc, magnesium, iron (ferritin)
• DHEA and cortisol

An MRI of the pituitary was also performed to rule out structural abnormalities — results were normal. Due to the patient’s history and family predisposition, a genetic consultation was also recommended.

Treatment Under Dr. Julio Nietto’s Supervision

A test treatment with hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) was initiated. The patient responded well — his testosterone levels stabilized quickly.

Treatment plan included:

• Bi/tri-weekly regimen of 1500 IU hCG
• Monitoring testosterone levels at 12, 72, and 144 hours post-injection
• Ongoing follow-ups and therapy adjustments based on patient progress and well-being
