Testosterone plays a big part in your physical and mental health. But, in the presence of estrogenics\u2014one of the known endocrine disruptors\u2014testosterone decreases rapidly, which can lead to major problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Endocrine Disruptors Cause Hormone Imbalance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anthony G. Jay discusses a health issue associated with endocrine disruptors: testosterone’s declining rates among men and women across the world. <\/strong>While testosterone levels have been declining naturally over thousands of years, there\u2019s been a steep drop in recent history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Research shows that the average men\u2019s testosterone levels are dropping about 1% every year<\/a>. Many experts acknowledge endocrine-disrupting chemicals like estrogenics as contributing to declining testosterone rates, but they note that other factors also contribute to this trend<\/a>\u2014including weight gain, lack of physical activity, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and disrupted sleep.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testosterone plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of your physical and mental health, influencing your sex drive, muscle mass and strength, bone density, mood, energy levels, and general well-being. Testosterone and estrogen (along with estrogenic compounds) also affect the brain\u2019s neuroplasticity<\/a>\u2014its ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay writes that estrogenics reduce the amount of usable testosterone in your body<\/strong>. To understand how, let\u2019s first discuss how testosterone travels within your body and what usable testosterone is: Testosterone and estrogen are hydrophobic, so they need the help of a non-hydrophobic protein to travel through your bloodstream (which is mostly water). As a result, the majority of testosterone in your body binds to this protein\u2014known as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)\u2014and isn\u2019t readily usable by the body. However, a small percentage of testosterone remains unbound in your bloodstream as free testosterone<\/em>, which is the most usable form for your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay explains that estrogenics lower your free testosterone levels in three ways: They increase the amount of SHBG in your blood, reduce the number of testosterone receptors in your body, and block testosterone from binding to receptors. This leads to two major problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Precocious puberty. <\/strong>The onset of puberty is occurring earlier than ever before (especially for girls), which can lead to psychological and physical health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The average age for a girl’s first period has moved from about 16 a century ago to approximately 13 today. Other experts explain that early puberty influences children\u2019s self-perception and social relationships<\/a>, resulting in a higher risk for mental health problems, substance use, and early sexual behavior, particularly for girls.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The \u201cfeminization of males.\u201d <\/strong>Hormonal disruptions reduce motivation specifically in men. Jay writes that this may explain the reason that participation in boy\u2019s sports is falling nationwide and that more women are enrolling in universities than men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: While other experts also note these trends, they propose alternative reasons. When it comes to youth sports, some argue that cost is the biggest factor<\/a>: Sports participation is only declining among children from lower- and middle-income families while participation from children from wealthier families is rising<\/em>. Others argue that fewer men enroll in colleges because of changes to the economy and sociocultural norms<\/a>, which have disrupted traditional pathways for men\u2014for example, economic changes have made it harder to secure middle-class wages with only a high school diploma, impacting men who had relied on manual labor jobs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Rebalance Your Hormones<\/a><\/strong>

Other experts agree on the importance of keeping your hormones balanced. Having a healthy level of testosterone<\/a> builds lean muscle mass, strengthens your bones, and improves your heart health, libido, mood, and thinking skills such as verbal and spatial memory and mathematical reasoning.

To assess your testosterone levels, you can take several different tests<\/a>:

Total testosterone test<\/strong>: measures both free and SHBG-bound testosterone.

Free testosterone test<\/strong>: measures only \u201cactive\u201d testosterone unbound to SHBG.

Bioavailable testosterone test<\/strong>: measures free testosterone and testosterone bound to another protein called albumin.

SHBG blood test<\/strong><\/a>: measures the amount of SHBG in your blood.

Natural methods<\/a> <\/strong>to increase testosterone levels include exercise (weightlifting and high-intensity interval training, in particular), consuming a balanced, nutritious diet, reducing stress, taking more vitamin D, improving sleep quality, reducing alcohol intake, and taking supplements<\/a>.

Testosterone therapy<\/a> <\/strong>is also an option for people with low testosterone levels.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
