Hormone levels naturally decrease as we age, a process known as hormone decline or hormonal aging. Key hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, and growth hormone start to decline in our 30s and 40s. This leads to unpleasant symptoms like low energy, weight gain, reduced sex drive, and hot flashes.
Why does hormone decline happen?
Hormone decline happens because our glands like the pituitary gland and gonads produce less hormones as we get older. Factors like stress and poor lifestyle can accelerate the decline. The decline often starts slowly in our 30s then accelerates in our 40s during perimenopause and andropause.
What are the impacts of hormone decline?
