If you’re not sleeping well, it’s not just your energy levels that suffer—your hormones do, too.

When you think of opioid addiction or long-term pain management, the focus is often on withdrawal symptoms, pain relief, and recovery.

You’ve probably heard of menopause—the hormonal shift women experience in midlife. But what about men? Can guys go through something similar? Some call it "manopause" or andropause—a gradual decline in testosterone and other key hormones that can impact energy, mood, libido, and overall vitality. Unlike menopause, which happens suddenly, male hormone decline is slower and more subtle—but very real. Let’s break down what happens to men’s hormones with age, how it affects performance, and what you can do to fight back.

When it comes to optimizing your health, you’ve likely heard about hormones—testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and others that play pivotal roles in energy, strength, and mood. But what if I told you that the balance of these hormones depends, in large part, on something we rarely think about: your gut?

These struggles aren’t just “part of getting older”—they could be signs of low testosterone.
