Hormone decline

Hormone decline is a natural part of aging that happens to both men and women, typically starting around age 30. As we get older, our bodies produce fewer important hormones like testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and growth hormone. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms like low energy, trouble sleeping, hot flashes, reduced muscle mass, weight gain and lowered libido.
What causes hormones to decline?

There are a few key factors:

• Your pituitary gland and other endocrine glands don’t function as well and secrete fewer hormones


• Your cells become less sensitive to hormones


• Changes in sleep, diet, exercise and stress levels also impact hormone production

How fast does hormone decline happen?

The rate of hormone decline varies widely between individuals. However, most people start noticing subtle changes in their late 30s or early 40s. Women may experience faster drops due to perimenopause and menopause accelerating the decline of estrogen and progesterone.

Some of the first symptoms are often:

• Fatigue


• Weight gain


• Reduced muscle tone


• Lack of focus

As the years go by, the symptoms intensify:

• Mood changes


• Loss of bone density


• Vaginal dryness


• Decreased stamina
