Weight gain, insomnia, hot flashes, moodiness…
Sounds a bit like menopause, right?
But what if you’re a man in your 30s or a 25 year old woman? What’s really going on here?
It could be that your hormones are all out of whack, particularly your testosterone levels.
Although it is known as the “male” hormone, women’s bodies also produce it – and if your testosterone levels are off (no matter your gender), it can be the source of a lot of not-so-fun symptoms.
Here are some of the telltale signs of low testosterone levels in both men and women:
Signs of low testosterone in men
Hormone imbalance doesn’t only strike in your 50’s, and it doesn’t only affect females. It’s particularly common for hormone imbalances in men to go undiagnosed and unaddressed.
This might have something to do with the fact that men are known for avoiding doctors, even though they die an average of 5 years sooner than women (But that’s a whole other issue)!
If you’re experiencing symptoms like these, it could mean that your testosterone levels are too low:
- Low libido
- Mood swings & irritability
- Loss of muscle mass
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Increase in body fat
- Erectile dysfunction
But it doesn’t stop at low testosterone. High levels of testosterone can also have some unfavorable symptoms. If you’re interested in learning more, keep reading our article about signs of testosterone imbalances in men!
Signs of low testosterone in women
Hormones keep things operating smoothly in our bodies. Even if just one system stops functioning properly, it can have a BIG impact on our health. Although women especially might be taught how to “deal with it” when it comes to our constantly fluctuating hormones, listening to your body is more important than you might think.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, the answer could lie in your low testosterone levels:
- Hair loss or hair thinning
- Dry skin
- Unintentional weight gain (increase in body fat)
- Inability to get good quality sleep
- Loss of muscle mass
- Low libido
But testosterone imbalance is not only about low testosterone levels. High levels of testosterone in women can also have unfavorable, but completely different, symptoms along with it.
