Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — men's health hormones

Andropause — often called male menopause — describes the gradual decline in testosterone and other key hormones that affects many men from their forties onwards. Unlike the relatively abrupt hormonal shift of female menopause, andropause develops slowly, making its symptoms easy to dismiss as normal ageing or stress. Yet the hormonal changes involved — including declining testosterone, rising oestrogen, cortisol dysregulation, and thyroid dysfunction — can significantly affect energy, mood, body composition, sexual health, and cognitive function. This article explains what andropause is, the key hormones involved, how to recognise its symptoms, and how comprehensive hormone testing can identify the specific imbalances driving your symptoms.
