Do You Make These Mistakes with Your Hormones, Men?

When we talk about hormone health, men are often left out of the conversation. But the truth is, hormones in male health matter just as much—and ignoring them can lead to serious symptoms like fatigue, low libido, brain fog, and mood swings.

At Ask Dr Olz, we work with men of all ages to restore energy, confidence, and vitality through a functional approach to hormones in male health.

5 Common Mistakes That Affect Hormones in Male Health

1. Thinking Hormones Are Just a “Women’s Thing”

Testosterone isn’t the only hormone that matters. Hormones in male bodies include DHEA, cortisol, thyroid hormones, and even small amounts of estrogen—all of which must stay balanced for optimal health.

2. Ignoring Nutrient Deficiencies That Disrupt Hormones

You might be low in key nutrients that fuel hormone production:

• Zinc Glycinate supports testosterone, prostate health, and sperm quality.
• Vitamin D3 1000 plays a direct role in maintaining healthy hormone levels, immune resilience, and mood. Low levels are linked to testosterone decline.

These deficiencies are common in South African men, especially during colder months or high-stress periods.

3. Overtraining Without Stress Support

Excessive exercise without recovery leads to high cortisol, which can suppress testosterone. One of the best ways to protect hormones in male bodies is by managing stress.

Exhilarin®, which contains the adaptogen Ashwagandha, helps regulate stress response, reduce cortisol, and naturally support testosterone.

4. Relying on Quick Fixes Instead of Root-Cause Support

Rather than chasing risky hormone shots or harsh testosterone boosters, functional medicine focuses on balancing the pathways that control male hormones.

5. Ignoring the Signs Until It’s Too Late

If you’re experiencing:

• Unexplained weight gain
• Muscle loss or weakness
• Brain fog or poor memory
• Low motivation
• Erectile issues or low libido
• Trouble sleeping
• Hair thinning

…your hormones as a male may already be out of balance.

Supporting Hormones in Male Health: The Functional Way

At Ask Dr Olz, we believe that real hormone support comes from understanding the full picture. That means combining:

• Targeted supplements like Zinc Glycinate, Vitamin D3, Exhilarin®, and Testralin®
• Nutrition and lifestyle changes
• Stress reduction techniques

You don’t need injections or synthetic hormone treatments to feel better. You need a strategy that works with your body, not against it.
