Who needs Larabars when you can easily make your own with three simple ingredients? These are perfect if you have been looking to enjoy healthy snack options during your cleanse. They provide outstanding flavor and lots of fiber, healthy fats, and protein, all of which help keep you full between meals. The dates and cashews establish a great balance of nuttiness and sweetness, and the pinch of sea salt gives the bars a little extra pizzazz. It’s almost like a pinch of sea salt on a chocolate chip cookie or delectable caramel. You truly can’t go wrong with a pinch of sea salt in sweet treats.

For this recipe you will need Medjool dates, raw cashews, and sea salt. Dates are naturally sweet and sticky, providing the base for these bars. Make sure your dates are soft and fresh. Need assistance blending? Soak the dates in warm water for about 15 minutes prior to blending them in the food processor. Raw cashews also blend a little easier if you soak them for an hour or so. Just make sure that you discard the soaking water for both the dates and cashews if you decide to soak them. Not a fan of cashews? You can swap them for any raw nut in the same amount. Walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and more work great!

After you blend the ingredients and achieve a sticky, dough-like consistency, you will transfer the mixture to an 8″x8″ baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the pan until you have an even layer that is about 1/2-inch or so thick. Freeze for 30 minutes and then remove from the freezer. That will ensure that the bars are somewhat solidified to the point where you can cut them into 10 bars. Separate them and consider wrapping them individually in plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

There are several signature fall fruits, including apples, persimmons, pomegranates, grapes, figs, and cranberries. One of our favorite fall fruits is the pear, which is as versatile as it is refreshing and delicious. Pair your pears with sweet, spicy, savory, or tart flavors and you’ll be pleased. That’s why we added ginger to this pear smoothie. The natural sweetness of the pear is a great balance to the spicy kick of the fresh ginger.

Pears are often underutilized ingredients in smoothies. They are popular to enjoy as healthy snacks, but people also add them to salads and some desserts. These bell-shaped fruits deserve a little more attention in smoothie recipes, not only for their flavor, but also for their impressive nutritional profile. A single medium pear provides:

  • Calories: 101
  • Carbohydrates: 27 grams (g)
  • Protein: 1 g
  • Fiber: 6 g
  • Vitamin C: 9% of the daily value (DV)
  • Potassium: 4% of the DV
  • Copper: 16% of the DV
  • Vitamin K: 7% of the DV

The same serving also provides small amounts of other micronutrients, including folate, niacin, provitamin A, and polyphenol antioxidants. Pears with green skin, such as Bartlett pears, contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two compounds that are integral for healthy vision. Ruby-red pears, for example, contain anthocyanins that may help improve heart health and protect against certain types of cancer.

DIY Cinnamon And Honey Anti-Acne Mask https://www.dherbs.com/articles/diy-cinnamon-and-honey-anti-acne-mask/ Sun, 19 Oct 2025 09:34:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=176854

Struggling with acne? Reduce breakouts and improve overall skin health with this DIY cinnamon and honey face mask.

There are many skin care products that promise to clear up your skin and keep it blemish-free. Seldom do these products keep their promise. In fact, many of them can cause dryness, skin irritation, or other skin complications that detract from the overall health of the skin. Instead, it is better to use more natural ingredients to make a skin care product that can help cleanse and nourish the skin. 

This homemade cinnamon and honey anti-acne mask uses powerful ingredients that can help reduce breakouts and improve overall skin health. It may seem weird or different to lather honey and cinnamon on your face, but these ingredients exhibit acne-fighting abilities. Researchers claim that the compounds in these ingredients may benefit overall skin health and combat breakouts. 

Honey’s Antimicrobial Properties

Honey exhibits natural antibacterial activity that helps inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria. The presence of bacteria on the skin can clog pores and lead to inflammation, which results in acne. Honey also acts as a humectant, which means that it helps the skin retain moisture. That enhanced hydration can help the skin from overproducing oil, which can lead to future breakouts. If you use honey regularly, it can also help minimize the appearance of acne scars, all while keeping the skin healthy. 

Cinnamon’s Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Cinnamon contains lots of antioxidant compounds and has anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe irritated skin. That is particularly beneficial for people suffering from acne, as inflammation tends to worsen the condition. When you apply cinnamon topically, it can help increase blood circulation to the skin. The increase in circulation helps bring more nutrients to the skin’s surface, which helps promote clearer complexion. Some of the compounds in cinnamon also exhibit antimicrobial effects that can target multiple strains of bacteria that contribute to acne. 

Working Together

If you want to address acne, you have to tackle the root cause, which tends to be bacteria, inflammation, excess oil, or all of the above. Together, cinnamon and honey create a powerful anti-acne face mask. It is a very easy mask to prepare and you don’t have to worry about melting shea or cocoa butter in a double boiler. Mix one teaspoon of cinnamon and two tablespoons of honey until well-combined. Before you apply the mask, make sure to. That step helps the skin better absorb the cinnamon and honey. 

DIY Cinnamon And Honey Anti-Acne Mask

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey

Instructions:

  • In a small mixing bowl, add the cinnamon and honey and stir well to combine. The mixture should look like a uniform paste and should spread easily. 
  • It is optional, but you can add a few drops of lemon juice for added exfoliation benefits. Just make sure the mixture isn’t too runny before you apply it. 
  • Before applying the mask, wash your face and pat it dry. Use a clean brush or your fingers to spread the mask evenly on your face, ensuring you avoid the eye area. 
  • Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing the mask off with lukewarm water. Once your face is clean, apply a hydrating moisturizer to help maintain moisture balance.

Fall is one of the most gorgeous times of the year, especially if you live in an area where the leaves change color. The cooler temperatures and shorter days have us craving a comforting soup. Why not use some of fall’s best produce items? Many of these vegetables are root vegetables, which are often overlooked because people don’t know how to use them. This soup is not just about warming the soul; rather, it is about discovering the often overlooked flavors in ingredients like parsnip and rutabaga. Rutabaga and parsnip do not give this soup its signature orange color. This soup contains carrots and butternut squash, which provide beautiful sweetness to contrast the more assertive ingredients.

This soup is truly an appreciation of autumn’s quieter, deeper flavors. It is a reminder to step outside your comfort zone and utilize under-appreciated ingredients that offer rich flavors and comfort. Rutabaga belongs to the turnip family, but it has a sweeter flavor, so that classic bitter radish flavor will not surprise your taste buds. Parsnip is like a cross between a turnip and carrot, and if they ripened under a little cover of snow, they will be much sweeter. You can find that out if you purchase them from a local farmer’s market. In case the rutabaga and parsnip have a slightly bitter flavor, the butternut squash will help balance the soup with its natural sweetness.

Our hope is that this recipe helps you find joy in transforming humble vegetables into something that is both filling and satisfying. Perhaps you had a parent or grandparent that used to make magic with whatever was in the house. This soup may fill your home with the nostalgic aromas of the past and remind you of autumn with the family.

Vitex: The Female-Friendly Fruit For PMS https://www.dherbs.com/articles/vitex-the-female-friendly-fruit-for-pms/ Fri, 17 Oct 2025 09:15:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=176845

Vitex, or chasteberry, exhibits several female-friendly benefits, including enhancing fertility and reducing symptoms of PMS and menopause.

The post Vitex: The Female-Friendly Fruit For PMS appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

If you regularly suffer from premenstrual syndrome (PMS), menopause, infertility, or irregular periods, vitex, also known as chasteberry, may help. Historically, vitex has been a proven folk/herbal remedy for these issues, and newer research confirms this. Vitex is not only for women with hormonal issues; rather, recent studies found that it exhibits anti-tumor properties in different human cancer cell lines. 

What Is Vitex?

Technically, vitex is the name for the largest genus in the Verbenaceae family, comprising 250 species. The most common variety used for medicinal purposes is the chase tree, which is a small plant with berries that are similar in size to peppercorns. Native to the Mediterranean and Asia, vitex also goes other names, including lilac chastetree, Abraham’s balm, and monk’s pepper. 

Scientists are in pursuit of finding all of vitex’s biologically active compounds. After investigating more than 20 vitex species for chemical and biological properties, 18 beneficial compounds have been in the vitex fruit. An additional 200 compounds, including flavonoids, steroid, terpenoids, iridoids, and lignans, have been found in the 20 vitex species. Continue reading to learn how this plant can benefit female health. 

May Improve Female Fertility

According to research, vitex has demonstrated an ability to improve fertility, particularly in women with luteal phase defect (shortened second half of menstrual cycle). These women have trouble because their ovaries do not release enough progesterone. One trial consisted of 48 women between the ages of 23 and 39. They were diagnosed with infertility and took chasteberry once daily for three months. During the three-month trial, seven women became pregnant and 25 women experienced normalized progesterone levels. 

Another study evaluated 52 women with luteal phase defects from hyperprolactinemia (higher than normal levels of prolactin in the blood). Each woman received a dose of 20 milligrams (mg) of vitex or a placebo every day during the course of the study. After three months, women treated with vitex exhibited a reduction in prolactin release. Their shortened luteal phases were normalized and deficits in the luteal progesterone synthesis were eliminated. 

May Help Treat Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows beyond the uterine cavity. The lining of the uterus grows on ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the pelvic tissues in a woman with endometriosis. Medical experts are not fully aware of the exact cause, but some contributing factors include genetics and hormonal imbalance. Although you cannot do anything about the genetics part, you can help balance hormones with vitex. Some researchers suggest taking chasteberry or vitex for 12 to 18 months for maximum effectiveness. 

Helps Relieve PMS Symptoms

People who want to help naturally remedy PMS symptoms, especially cramps, often turn to vitex. It is one of the top herbal remedies for PMS relief. One study found that 93% of the participants who were treated with vitex for three consecutive menstrual cycles reported a decrease in the number of symptoms, or a complete end of symptoms. Additionally, vitex may help treat some menopausal symptoms and hormonal acne. 

An increased production of prolactin may contribute to cyclic breast tenderness, which is another PMS symptom. Vitex works well at reducing PMS symptoms because it helps suppress the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Various studies indicate that vitex may also reduce headaches, irritable mood, and breast tenderness, all of which can be PMS symptoms. One review found that five out of six studies concluded that vitex extracts were superior to a placebo for treating PMS symptoms. 

Vitex or chasteberry is available in many forms, including dried, ripe, tea, or extract. It is one of the prominent ingredients in two Dherbs formulas that are in The Female Cleanse, which can help provide essential nutrients for female health and support overall wellness.

The post Breast Cancer Awareness: Top 5 Things Every Woman Should Know appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

There is a common misconception about breast cancer, and it is thinking that you aren’t at risk if you don’t have a family history of it. The simple fact is that only 12% of people diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of the disease. There are other risk factors that you should be aware of, including a sedentary lifestyle and taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Health experts estimate that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Given that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s an important time for women to focus on prevention, education, and early detection. When you are knowledgeable about breast cancer, you can help reduce the risk of developing it and detect early issues. Continue reading to learn about five things every woman should know about breast cancer. 

Know Your Risk Factors

As is the case with many forms of cancer, risk factors vary from person to person. Family history, aging, and more are beyond your control, but understanding them can help you develop preventative measures. Statistically, women with close relatives (sister, mother, or daughter) who have had breast cancer have a higher risk. BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are genetic mutations, also significantly increase the chances of developing breast cancer. Early menstruation, late menopause, and not having children are other risk factors to consider. When you know your risk factors, you can work with your healthcare provider to create a personalized screening plan.

When To Start Screening

Ideally, you should have annual breast exams at the doctor’s office starting at the age of 18. Annual mammograms should begin between the ages of 35 and 40. Health experts also encourage women to examine their own breasts monthly at the end of their period when breasts are the most tender. You should know your breasts better than anyone, so you should alert your doctor if you notice any lumps, swelling, nipple discharge or inversion, or any other changes. 

Pay Attention To Breast Rashes

Inflammatory breast cancer is a very aggressive form of cancer that presents itself as a rash. Some of the symptoms include:

  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Pain and/or itchiness
  • Severely enlarged pores on the breast(s)

Doctors tend to misdiagnose inflammatory breast cancer as dermatitis (a common skin infection) or mastitis (breast tissue inflammation) because it looks like a regular rash. If your rash does not respond to antibiotics within five days, your doctor may need to take a skin sample to test for cancer. 

Lifestyle Choices Make A Difference

Although not all cases of breast cancer are preventable, certain lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk. Statistically, people who consume a balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds have a lower risk of cancer than those who consume a lot of processed foods, saturated fat, and refined carbs. Additionally, regular physical activity, such as 30 minutes of moderately-intense exercise per day, can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Finally, health experts urge women to maintain a healthy weight, especially after menopause, because excess body fat can increase estrogen levels and contribute to cancer risk. 

Symptoms To Watch Out For

Most women know to look for lumps, as that is the most common indicator of breast cancer. Changes in breast size, shape, or skin texture (dimpling) can be red flags. It’s also possible for some women to experience redness or swelling of the breast, which could indicate inflammatory breast cancer (as we mentioned earlier). Early detection of these symptoms can lead to quicker diagnosis and treatment. If you notice something, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor about it. 

At Dherbs, we believe that Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to value the importance of early detection. That said, we don’t think that women should just focus on their health during October. Maintaining overall health and wellness is a year-round endeavor. Should you want to help cleanse the female reproductive system and optimize female health, consider our Female Cleanse.

As lovers of chia pudding, we are always trying to find fun, new ways to enjoy this delicious treat. It makes for a great grab-and-go breakfast, pre- or post-workout snack, or even a healthy dessert, depending on the recipe. Since the days are finally starting to get colder, we decided to flavor the chia pudding similar to some classic holiday cookies. Yes, we know that Halloween has not even happened yet, but something about the weather inspired this wonderful treat of a recipe.

The key to nailing this recipe is using the proper amount of each spice. There is no gingerbread spice; rather, you combine a few classic holiday spices to create that classic gingerbread flavor. The spices actually balance out the natural sweetness of the maple syrup. You’ll need cinnamon, nutmeg, ground clove, and ginger powder. Whisk those spices into the chia pudding mixture and you’ll be good to go. Just remember that you may need to taste the chia pudding and adjust a spice or two in order to please your taste buds. That said, we worked very hard to measure out every ingredient in a precise way. So while we always encourage creativity and experimentation in the kitchen, you shouldn’t have to doctor up this recipe to make it taste better than it already does.

It is not uncommon for people to seek out new ways to lose weight, get fit, or become healthier overall. From eating more vegetables and exercising daily to meditating, there are many ways to be healthier. But what practices unlock optimal gut health? Health experts suggest that adopting a consistent morning routine can set your digestive system on the right path every day. 

Starting the day with poor digestive function can make you feel uncomfortable, sluggish, and tired. If gut issues become chronic, you could face more serious health issues. Prioritize a morning routine to kickstart your metabolism, regulate bowel movements, and reduce bloating. Consider the following tips to enhance gut health, optimize nutrient absorption, and prevent constipation. 

Drink Water As Soon As You Wake Up

Mornings can be very hectic, and it is very easy to go straight for the caffeine if you feel very tired. You don’t need to start your day with an Instagram-worthy breakfast, but you should at least make it a point to drink 16 ounces of water before you put anything else in your body. Not only does this put you on a path to avoid dehydration, but it also positively affects the lining of the intestine. Studies show that properly hydrating can help prevent constipation and help the body break down food in the stomach. Ideally, you should drink half your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day, but starting the day with 16 ounces is the way to set your digestive system up for success.

Engage In Gentle Movement

You do not have to engage in an intense interval workout first thing in the morning. In fact, most people don’t have the energy for that upon arising from a deep slumber. Try your best to incorporate 15 to 30 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise into your morning routine. Gastroenterologists agree that colorectal cancer (the second most lethal form of cancer in the U.S.) cases are on the rise. They encourage people to move their body to avoid health risks that stem from constipation and other serious digestive disorders. 

Eat A Balanced Breakfast

A lot of people are confused on what a balanced breakfast looks like. To some, a balanced breakfast is an egg on toast with some tomatoes and a glass of milk. To others, a balanced breakfast is a sugary bowl of packaged oatmeal. Ideally, you consume a variety of foods that contain healthy fats, fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates. Consider plain Greek yogurt mixed with almond butter and fresh berries. A fruit and vegetable smoothie is another great breakfast option. Steel cut oats with almond butter and diced apples is another option. Avoid processed foods like frozen waffles and refined, sugary carbs, such as white bread, donuts, and packaged baked goods. A nutrient-rich breakfast helps feed the good bacteria in the gut, which not only fuels the digestive system, but also keeps you energized and full until your next meal.

Drink Lemon Water Before Your Coffee

As we mentioned earlier in this article, it is best to start your day with 16 ounces of water. The next step could be drinking a cup of warm water mixed with the juice of half of a lemon. Sip this slowly and do not gulp it down for maximum benefits. Drinking lemon water can help stimulate bile production, which helps the body break down fats. It can also alkalize the body to reduce gut inflammation, while simultaneously hydrating the intestines for smoother, easier bowel movements

Practice Deep Breathing Before You Eat

Before you eat your healthy, balanced breakfast, make sure to engage in some deep breathing exercises. Stress can interfere with optimal digestive function, as it triggers gut-brain axis dysfunction. This can commonly lead to indigestion, so we encourage you to try five minutes of diaphragmatic breathing for five minutes before you eat.

The Top 5 Benefits And Uses Of Saw Palmetto https://www.dherbs.com/articles/the-top-5-benefits-and-uses-of-saw-palmetto/ Thu, 25 Sep 2025 09:32:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=176725

From supporting hair growth and optimizing prostate function, we detail the benefits and uses for saw palmetto in relation to men’s health.

The post The Top 5 Benefits And Uses Of Saw Palmetto appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a type of palm that is native to the southwestern United States. It is commonly used in various supplements to improve prostate health, prevent hair loss in men, and balance hormone levels. Saw palmetto has actually been marketed as a natural remedy for an enlarged prostate. In fact, more than a third of all adults in the U.S. who take saw palmetto supplements do so specifically to improve prostate health. 

Although more research is needed on saw palmetto’s effect on men’s health, the existing research shows great promise. Some people, including those who may be pregnant, should avoid saw palmetto. Continue reading to learn about the top four benefits of saw palmetto.

May Support Prostate Health 

The prostate gland is located between the bladder and the penis. It is responsible for maintaining sperm health, but an enlarged prostate can get in the way of healthy urinary flow and sperm production. According to various research studies, saw palmetto can support prostate health and help prevent issues, such as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Other studies indicate that saw palmetto may reduce BPH-related urinary symptoms and inflammation. One 15-year study of 30 participants with BPH found that 320 milligrams (mg) of saw palmetto extract per day may help prevent the progression of BPH. 

May Reduce Inflammation

There are numerous animal studies that suggest that saw palmetto exhibits anti-inflammatory activity, which may benefit certain health conditions. One study from 2015 in rats with BPH found that saw palmetto effectively decreased inflammation and improved antioxidant status. A separate 2015 study in mice with enlarged prostates found that saw palmetto extract decreased several inflammatory markers, including interleukin 6 (IL-6). Although these studies are promising, research on humans is lacking. For this reason, there isn’t enough scientific evidence to claim that saw palmetto reduces inflammation in humans. 

May Improve Urinary Tract Function

It’s possible that saw palmetto may benefit BPH, which is a condition that causes an enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to decreased urine flow. A small 12-week study including participants with BPH found that those who took 1,000 mg of saw palmetto oil mixed with beta-sitosterol experienced significant improvements in BPH symptoms. Another 24-week study of 354 participants found that supplementing with 320 mg of saw palmetto decreased BPH symptoms and improved urinary flow and sexual function. More research is still necessary to determine whether saw palmetto supplements aid urinary tract function in the general population. Current research is promising, though. 

May Help Regulate Testosterone Levels

Many people who want to naturally boost testosterone levels may turn to saw palmetto oil as an option. Testosterone affects body composition, sex drive, mood, brain function, and more. Testosterone levels naturally decline naturally with age and can interfere with quality of life. Some research suggests saw palmetto may boost testosterone levels by decreasing the activity of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, to help preserve testosterone. A 2020 review found that saw palmetto may also block the uptake of DHT and reduce its ability to bind to androgen receptors by almost 50%. A smaller and older study found that supplementing with 1,200 mg of Resettin, a supplement containing saw palmetto and astaxanthin, increased serum testosterone levels by 38%. Looking to boost testosterone levels, consider the Dherbs Testosterone Booster as a natural alternative. 

May Prevent Hair Loss

Hair loss is very common among men and has numerous causes, from genetics and hormonal changes to certain medications and health conditions. Some people tend to use saw palmetto to balance hormone levels and reduce hair loss. As previously mentioned, saw palmetto may block 5-alpha reductase, which is linked to hair loss. By reducing the uptake of DHT in your hair follicles, saw palmetto may help decrease DHT’s ability to bind to specific hormone receptors. A 16-week study from 2023 involving people with androgenic alopecia who took a specifically formulated saw palmetto supplement found that saw palmetto reduced the rate of hair falling out. It also contributed to hair growth and improved scalp appearance compared to a placebo.

The post 5 Signs You May Suffer From Low Testosterone appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

If you feel that your sex drive has changed and your muscle mass is declining, you may be experiencing low testosterone (low T) levels. Low testosterone is not a life-threatening illness by any means; rather, it is a normal part of aging. If you are a younger man in his 30s and experiencing low T levels, then you may want to consider different approaches to boost your levels. 

The body naturally produces testosterone, which can be measured through a blood test. Symptoms can affect the quality of life, or they may go hand in hand with other health conditions. Getting tested can better inform you about your testosterone levels and how it affects the body. 

What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that the testicles or ovaries mainly produce. The adrenal glands produce dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which the body transforms into both testosterone and estrogen. Testosterone, however, is the primary androgen, meaning it stimulates the development of male characteristics. Males naturally have higher testosterone levels than women do, and it plays many roles in different stages of life, such as:

  • Fetal development: the sex-related gene on the Y chromosome initiates the development of the testicles in male infants about week seven in utero.
  • Puberty for male children: responsible for many changes in pubescent males, including increases in height, body and pubic hair growth, increasing libido, and enlargement of testes, penis, and prostate gland.
  • Adulthood: it is essential for the production of sperm, signals the body to make new red blood cells, ensures muscle and bone strength, and enhances libido.

If you think that your testosterone levels are taking a nosedive, pay attention to the following signs. If you notice that you have one or more of them, consider talking with your primary healthcare provider to discuss ways to boost levels. There are many foods that aid testosterone production, in addition to other methods, so don’t think that options are not available. 

Your Libido Is Noticeably Lower

Testosterone plays a predominant role in your sexual desire. It also helps men maintain and get erections long enough to have sex. It isn’t uncommon for men to experience erectile dysfunction occasionally, but if it is a persistent problem, low testosterone levels may be to blame. A sudden drop in sex drive or sustained drop in interest in sexual activity can indicate low T levels. 

Reduced Muscle Mass And Strength

Testosterone aids in both building and maintaining muscle mass. Men with low T levels often notice a loss of muscle strength and a harder time building muscle, even with regular training. In addition to muscle loss, it’s common for men with low T levels to experience an increase in body fat, especially around the abdomen. That can be very frustrating if you are putting in a lot of effort at the gym. 

Thinning Hair

First of all, hair loss can happen for many reasons, so low T may not always be the culprit. If your testosterone levels dip, it’s possible to experience thinning hair on the scalp, body, and face. Any sudden changes in hair thickness along with other symptoms may indicate another cause, which you should determine in order to solve the issue. 

Depression And Mood Changes

Declining testosterone levels do not just affect your physical health; rather, they can also impact your mental health. According to research, men with low testosterone levels tend to report more feelings of sadness, irritability, and lack of motivation. It’s common to blame those feelings on work- or relationship-related stress, but that isn’t always the case. If there is no obvious reason for your mood changes, low testosterone could be to blame. 

Energy Levels Decline

If you have a great sleep schedule and maintain a balanced diet and still feel persistent fatigue, low testosterone is a potential and likely cause. One of the telltale signs of low T is a dip in energy. When testosterone levels drop, energy levels tend to follow suit. That ultimately leads to a general feeling of sluggishness or lack of motivation. Too tired to do the activities you used to enjoy? It might be time to get your T checked.
