Reading about andropause, which I'd never heard about before. Impacts some men over the age of 40. Quote:

“The hormonal changes of women’s menopause happen in a relatively narrow window of time, but with age-related testosterone decline, it can be more of a ‘slow drip’ rather than a sudden moment. This means symptoms can often be passed off as being caused by aging, stress or a combination of both.”

Symptoms:

- Mood changes, including irritability, lower motivation and feelings of depression
- Cognitive changes, like difficulty concentrating or memory lapses
- Low energy and fatigue that isn’t explained by poor sleep alone
- Reduced libido and fewer spontaneous erections
- Loss of muscle mass and strength despite regular exercise
- Increased body fat, particularly around the midsection
- Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or poor-quality rest

#overgangsalder - 🍷 Påstand: "Mange håndterer den slet ikke. Især ikke mænd. I stedet lægger de låg på, skruer op for timerne på job, gør mere af det samme, indleder en affære eller spæder op med god rødvin."

♥️ Mission: "Hjælpe mænd med at flytte fokus fra hovedet til kroppen og opdage styrken i at mærke efter."

💪 »Jeg er bedre til at tage vare på mig selv og mærke efter, hvordan jeg har det,« siger Thomas Buch-Andersen.

I think I'm going through manopause. I'm getting hot flashes with all-over sweating almost every day. It only lasts a minute, but it's annoying. It's probably not as bad as what my spouse gets, but given that it is associated with a loss of bone density in men, I'm a bit concerned. I'll bring it up with my clinician on my next visit. #andropause

Looking for people (preferably #hexagenarians like me) interested (also practically) in #PhysicalCulture, #Bartitsu, historical #calisthenics, and other ways to befriend the #andropause.

I started general exercises, soon advancing to wooden #barbel / #staff and then to #IronWand, #Cane and #stick #fencing.

Skill & experience sharing, discussions, perhaps some group practice (online or offline). Anybody out there?

#andropause - 🤔 Gnisten kræver et tilstrækkelig højt niveau af testosteron?

"Han var i starten af 50erne, og testen viste tydeligt, hvorfor han var sur. Peer Klausen manglede testosteron i en så høj grad, at lægen slet ikke kunne forstå, hvordan han kunne have den lille smule skæg, som han endnu havde rundt om ansigtet."

"Hele 15-20 procent af alle mænd over 50 år har nemlig for lidt testosteron i kroppen. Men det er enkelt at få gjort noget ved."
