June is Men’s Health Month.
It is well known that men have fewer visits to the doctor compared to women. For the month of June, Destination Health challenges men to make their health a priority and be more proactive in addressing physical and mental concerns.
One aspect of men’s health we focus on is hormone optimization using the BioTE Method of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Testosterone levels in men begin to decline around age 30, sometimes earlier. Low levels of testosterone have a negative impact physically and emotionally. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, weight gain, and decreased mental clarity. By providing hormone optimization, men not only improve the quality of their life, but testosterone replacement has proven to strengthen bones, reduce inflammation, improve muscle mass, increase sexual function, and promote weight loss.
Sexual health and hormone balance are valued at our practice. This month, we want to encourage men to gain confidence in discussing specific health concerns.
