Achieve Hormonal Balance and Boost Your Testosterone Naturally
Testosterone, the hormone that shapes a man's overall health, plays a crucial role in bone density, body composition, muscle mass, and sperm integrity. However, factors like age, weight, lifestyle choices, and underlying medical conditions can contribute to low testosterone levels. At Internal Healing & Wellness MD, our goal is to address the root cause of low testosterone by identifying the source and developing a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan to boost your natural hormone production. Embark on a journey towards balanced hormones and enhanced vitality with our holistic approach to male health.
Testosterone and Chemicals
etrochemical refers to any petroleum product or byproduct, such as ethanol, monomers, aromatic hydrocarbons, resins, fuels, and thermoplastics. This list includes millions of items (and their packaging) used around the world. Petrochemicals, can enter our bodies through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the liquid we drink (particularly if it comes from a plastic bottle).
The main problem with these compounds is that they are frequently converted into "xenoestrogens" once they enter the body. As the name implies, all of these are foreign, synthetic estrogen hormones that can interfere with the synthesis of our endogenous hormones, particularly in men.
Indeed, studies show that the average male sperm count has dropped by 50% since the 1960s, and many experts believe this is due in large part to petrochemicals and the xenoestrogens they produce.
Spotting the Symptoms: How to Identify Age-Related Hormonal Changes in Men
As men grow older, their hormone levels, including the crucial testosterone, naturally decrease. This age-related testosterone decline can manifest in various ways, such as:
- Depression
- Reduced muscle mass
- Muscle and joint stiffness
- Cognitive decline
- Increased susceptibility to osteoporosis,
resulting in poor bone density and fracture risk
- A lack of enthusiasm for life
- Hindered exercise performance
- Heightened fatigue and irritability
- Elevated risk of Alzheimer's Disease
- Diminished libido and sexual satisfaction
At our holistic clinic, we offer comprehensive testosterone treatment solutions to address these symptoms and help men rediscover their energy and vitality as they age.
The Options Available
If you suspect you have low testosterone, make sure you don't have any medical issues first. Examples include genital atrophy, hypothalamic dysfunction, and pituitary dysfunction. After that, you should immediately begin eliminating any xenoestrogen-producing products from your diet and lifestyle. Located in The Woodlands, our functional medicine doctors at Internal Healing and Wellness MD specialize in testosterone therapy. We proudly serve patients in both The Woodlands and the greater Houston area, providing valuable guidance on the following steps for achieving optimal health:
- Whenever possible, eat locally grown organic products
- Look for meat and milk that are hormone-free
- Use only fragrance-free "skin contact" products made with natural ingredients.
- Avoid Fabric conditioner, dryer sheets, dishwashing liquid, and other scented cleaning agents
- Get rid of your plastic water bottles and replace them with reusable metal or glass water bottles

Frequently Asked Questions
There are several signs and symptoms associated with low testosterone levels in males. Low testosterone, or 'low T,' can cause decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, fatigue, and reduced muscle mass. Testosterone levels naturally decrease with age, but low T can also be caused by other factors including lifestyle choices (such as smoking) and underlying medical conditions. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to talk to your doctor about the possibility of low testosterone. They can perform a blood test to measure your hormone levels and give you an accurate diagnosis. Treatment options for low T include testosterone replacement therapy, which can help improve your symptoms and quality of life.
You can raise your testosterone levels naturally by doing things like exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep. There are also supplements that can help increase your testosterone levels, such as vitamin D and magnesium. If you're interested in taking supplements, talk to your doctor to see if they're right for you.
