If you’re a man over 35 and noticing muscle loss, stubborn belly fat, slower recovery, or reduced strength, you’re not imagining it. These changes are often driven by a gradual decline in testosterone, a condition known as age-related hypogonadism.
At Bioidentical Hormones NYC, we specialize in diagnosing and treating hormonal imbalances using advanced lab testing and personalized testosterone therapy—helping men regain muscle mass, energy, and long-term health.
Why Men Lose Muscle Mass After 35
Natural Testosterone Decline
Testosterone levels decline by 1–2% per year after age 30. By 40–50, many men experience levels low enough to impact muscle protein synthesis.
Reduced Muscle Protein Synthesis
Lower testosterone means:
- Slower muscle repair
- Reduced muscle fiber growth
- Increased muscle breakdown
Increased Fat Storage
Low testosterone shifts metabolism toward fat accumulation, especially visceral (abdominal) fat, which further suppresses testosterone.
Lifestyle & Stress Factors
- Chronic stress → elevated cortisol
- Poor sleep → reduced testosterone production
- Sedentary lifestyle → muscle atrophy
Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men
Common Signs
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat
- Fatigue and low motivation
- Brain fog
- Reduced libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Mood changes or depression
These symptoms often appear years before diagnosis, which is why testing is critical.
How Testosterone Therapy Helps Restore Muscle Mass
