Libido
By John

Hi Dr. Ted, I am a 67 year old man with low energy and libido. I follow a strict diet and work out with a trainer 5 days a week. I haven't changed this regimen for over ten years. I have recently, last year or so, noticed gaining a little excess fat around my stomach area as well as the loss of energy. I had my hormones checked by my PC physician and it showed that my testosterone was low at 288, but all my other levels were within their ranges. I do take supplements to help boost energy but haven't found them to be of any help in the long run. Would you think I would need to take Testosterone? Would that help me with my libido or do I have to start taking the little blue pill? I would rather not take a pill for that and rather fix it by addressing the cause. Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, you may well need extra testosterone. But a balanced approach to your health should also look at any other comorbidities such as insulin resistance and estrogen dominance which can impact libido. Once a metabolic, bio-chemical and hormonal balance is obtained then you can return to your optimal potential, without the use of ersatz non-bioidentical aids.
Treatment options

Dr. Ted, 44 year old healthy woman here. I eat mostly organic foods and try and exercise as much as possible throughout the week. The problem is that I lack the energy to do so. I suffer from irritability throughout the day and nightly leg cramps causing insomnia. I started to experience these symptoms since last year. I recently was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism by my family doctor and was given the following treatment options: removing my thyroid through surgery or taking oral radioactive iodine. I don't like any of these options due to the long term issues. Is there anything else I can do to help my situation that doesn't require surgery or taking medications that could harm me??
