To many men, the aging process means:
- Declining health
- Muscle loss
- Increased body fat
- Decreased energy
- Low sex drive
- Foggy thinking
At the ChinQuee Center, we help men get back on the right track to feeling better, looking younger, with increased muscle strength and sex drive, and enjoying a longer, healthier life. Dr. ChinQuee is a graduate of the Cenegenics Age Management Executive Health Program.
Andropause (also referred to as male menopause) is the name that has been given to the slow, but steady, reduction in the hormones testosterone and DHEA in middle-age men, and the consequences of the reduction. As men reach their 40s, most will start noticing physical, mental and emotional changes which are frequently the result of low levels of testosterone.
All too often, the effects of andropause are ignored by men because they believe these changes reflect “just getting old.” They unnecessarily suffer in silence and accept that this diminished sense of well-being is just a sign of the aging process rather than seek appropriate help.
