Low testosterone (Low-T) is affecting millions of men throughout the United States, with more than 70% of men in the United States being obese or overweight according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) this staggering number could mean most men over 30  in the United States suffer from Low-T and may not know it. Perhaps you’re suffering from Low-T and may not even know it. Although the best way of finding out if you have Low-T is with a hormonal blood panel (like the Low-T test we offer at Body RX), your symptoms may help provide signals that when combined, will mean you should seek a Low-T test.

Do I have Low-Testosterone?

The most typical symptoms patients with low testosterone levels complain about are fatigue, libido issues, and excess visceral body fat. Many times patients are not aware of the causes of low-t and live a sedentary life, drink alcohol, or suffered from an illness that caused their low-t. There are even foods that can contribute to low-t levels.
