Male Weight Gain: Why Your Hormones May Be to Blame

You’re entering your golden years, and you’re ready for all the wisdom, fun, and rounds of golf that come with them.  Unfortunately, you’re not exactly prepared for your expanding waistline – and it seems like no matter how much exercise you do, you just can’t seem to lose that weight.

It turns out, male weight gain could be blamed on your fluctuating hormone levels.  As you age, your cortisol levels start to increase, while your testosterone levels start to dip.  When this occurs, your body fat begins to increase, which is usually most evident around your midsection.

To make things even more complicated, the increase in body fat can actually convert some of your testosterone into estrogen, which leads to even more weight gain and hormonal imbalance.

This hormonal imbalance is precisely why it’s so important for men to seek out hormonal replacement therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  Founder and anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le uses testosterone replacement therapy to help address some of the biggest concerns associated with male weight gain.  With testosterone replacement therapy, you can expect to see the following weight-loss benefits:

• Increased muscle mass
• Increased metabolism
• Higher energy levels
• Lower body fat

When done in combination with a healthy diet and exercise, testosterone replacement therapy can help you lose weight, feel more energetic, and enjoy a trimmer waistline.

Hormone replacement therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa can also be used to address a number of concerns relating to andropause.  This is an age-related condition that occurs as men enter middle age and their testosterone levels start to drop.  By supplementing low testosterone levels with bioidentical hormones, you can enjoy feeling the following benefits:

• Higher sex drive
• Increased levels of concentration
• Mental clarity
• Higher energy levels
• Greater sexual satisfaction
• Greater sense of fulfillment and happiness

In addition to hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Nhi Le can also monitor your weight loss via nutritional guidance, exercise, and supplements.
