Low T is linked to metabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive risks. See why early evaluation and guided care can protect long-term health.

Intro
Feeling off is reason enough to check your hormones. But there’s a bigger picture: untreated Low T can be linked with broader health risks that compound over time.

Metabolic And Weight Risks
• Central fat gain and insulin resistance reinforce each other
• Higher risk for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome

Cardiometabolic Factors
• Unfavorable lipid patterns and arterial stiffness may increase risk
• Risk management blends lifestyle, labs, and targeted therapy when appropriate

Cognition And Mood
• Associations with mild cognitive changes and lower mood in some men
• Optimizing sleep, activity, and hormones may support clarity and wellbeing

Prostate Considerations
• Testosterone doesn’t cause prostate cancer, but we screen with PSA before therapy and monitor annually

Practical Next Steps
• Get morning labs and a telehealth review
• Address nutrition, training, sleep, and stress
• Consider TRT only when clinically appropriate and monitored
