Male Hormone Imbalances

Here is a video I recently watched discussing hormones in the male body. I wanted to share this specifically with this group because I know many of us are and/or work with combat athletes or athletes of various backgrounds.

One key thing is when getting male hormone levels checked pregnenolone (a precursor that helps build testosterone) and DHEA (another testosterone precursor) are more likely to be low in men that have had head trauma or history of PTSD (not just related to aging). It goes over different side effects you may notice having hormone imbalances and what happens if you take hormone replacement without proper labs or treating the root problem.

It also discusses how low testosterone may not be the only thing that’s low. Everyone’s different but having low testosterone may also include having secondary low thyroid hormones. Or having a low thyroid may overlook also having low testosterone if not checked.
