Andropause

We all get older. We become wiser, smarter and with the gift of time, we get better. We refine ourselves, becoming better at doing the things we love, better at knowing ourselves, and better at relating to our loved ones. Middle age, if you’re lucky enough to get here, is a gift.

Feeling weak and moody? Perhaps you’re gaining weight despite eating healthy and working out? If you’re a man past middle age, these signs might indicate that you’re going through andropause.

It’s common knowledge that at or near middle age, all women experience a process called menopause, where their hormone production slows, their ovaries eventually stop producing eggs, and they stop menstruating. This process comes with a wide variety of side effects, including weight fluctuation, mood swings, and decreased libido, among others.
