Hormone levels naturally decline as we age. This is known as age-related hormone decline and it affects both men and women as the function of endocrine glands like the thyroid, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes may become impaired over time.
Key signs of hormone decline include:
The most common hormones that decline are:
Estrogen decline starts for women around perimenopause, usually in their late 40s, causing symptoms like irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and fertility problems. The decline accelerates through menopause transition and postmenopause.
Testosterone decline can start as early as age 30 for men. Lower testosterone leads to reduced energy, strength, stamina and contributes to erectile dysfunction. In women, lower testosterone negatively impacts libido and mood.
Lower levels of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) causes exhaustion, weight gain, feeling cold, hair loss and other metabolic issues.
