What do you know about Testosterone? Or even more so, how do you feel about it? Women have been on oestrogen replacement for some 50 years now. Strange how it does not occur to men, even when they lose their sex drive, get continuously tired, or deeply depressed, or even when it’s obvious their wounds are healing slowly, that maybe something is missing - something that used to be there but is no longer. Men tend not to go to the doctor’s. They don’t like being told what to do, they put up with pain, depression, weakness, and most don’t raise their hand for help until it’s too late.

Where do we start? Good question! Maintaining a balanced lifestyle requires us to look at our diet, exercise and our mental health. Health is defined as “the condition of the body and the degree to which it is free from illness, or the state of being well” and Fitness is defined as “the condition of being physically strong and healthy” (Cambridge … [Read more...]
