As men age, hormone levels naturally shift — and these changes can have a meaningful impact on energy, mood, body composition, and overall vitality. Understanding the role of key hormones may help men make more informed decisions about their wellness.
Testosterone typically peaks in early adulthood and gradually declines with age. Research has associated healthy testosterone levels with cardiovascular health, libido, mood, stamina, and muscle strength. Men with lower testosterone levels may notice changes in these areas over time. Some research has explored the relationship between testosterone and heart health, though individual results vary and medical supervision is essential.
Progesterone is often thought of as a female hormone, but men produce it too — and levels tend to decline with age. Progesterone may play a role in supporting healthy insulin sensitivity and metabolic balance. Some research suggests it may also support prostate health, though more study is needed.
DHEA is one of the most abundant steroid hormones in the body and is often used as a general marker of vitality. Levels naturally decline with age, and supplementation has been studied for its potential role in supporting energy, mood, and immune function.
Dr. Platt’s book The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones explores these topics in greater depth and is available at plattwellness.com. Healthcare practitioners may also be interested in The Platt Protocol for Hormone Balancing.
