(fat) tissue, which means men who are overweight tend to have more aromatase than their healthy weight peers.


While it's normal for testosterone


levels to decline with each decade after 30, many men also tend to gain weight as they age, especially around the abdomen. This leads to a vicious cycle of sorts, where a patient gains weight with age, leading to excess aromatase, and ultimately, increased conversion of testosterone to estrogen. When coupled with an age-related decline in T levels, the effects become more evident. Fortunately, nature has several aro- matase inhibitors, herbs or natural agents that work to block or inhibit the action of aromatase. When used over time, herbs like Urtica dioica and Passiflora incarnata can effectively limit the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, supporting healthy T levels while we work with the patient to manage weight.

I use several herbs in my practice to support testosterone production, includ- ing Tribulus terrestris, Eurycoma longifo- lia, Panax ginseng, and Epidmedium, the infamous Horny Goat Weed. Since our goal is to support endogenous (internal) production of testosterone, patients should expect to supplement for several months before witnessing changes in hormone lev- els. As with any approach to treatment, it makes sense to ensure that the whole body is functioning optimally, and this includes checking the various nutrients that support testosterone levels. Zinc plays a funda- mental role in healthy sperm production and zinc deficiency has been associated with low testosterone in numerous studies. We can also test DHEA levels in the body, which decline with age and can be helpful in supporting the production of testoster- one. Since DHEA is a hormone and can also increase estrogen, I always recom- mend testing before supplementing with DHEA and caution against its use without the supervision of a doctor.
