Nutritional treatments for andropause focus on alleviating the symptoms, so you would take a combination of supplements in addition to making dietary changes. One of the first things you can do is to boost your protein intake – a diet that is higher in protein tends to raise testosterone levels.
Q: I am a 50 year-old man suffering from low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and depression. I think I am going through menopause. Does this happen to men?
A: The word “menopause” means “end of periods” and since men do not have periods, menopause is not the correct term. However, as men get older, they do experience a decline in male hormones, and this can cause a cluster of rather distressing physical and emotional symptoms. This is what is now commonly referred to as andropause, probably what you’re experiencing.
