Andropause occurs due to the steady reduction in testosterone as men age. Men also experience imbalances in their levels of thyroid, estrogen, DHEA, and cortisol during this time in life. All men will experience andropause-no man escapes it. Most men begin feeling the effects of andropause when they’re between 35 and 40 years of age. Fatigue, loss of muscle mass, low sex drive, depression and night sweats are all symptoms of the hormone imbalance that comes with andropause. Typical symptoms include:

-- Intimacy problems, such as trying to establish closer relationships with family members
