Interest in sex starts in the brain, dopamine is triggered – reward NT, excited, salivating , stimulates Testosterone in gonads to boost erectile function.
You will notice in the labs, low Testosterone – stamina, libido, fatigue & erectile dysfunction – could it be an elixir or a dangerous drug?
As a man ages his Testosterone declines and Estrogen increases. As a matter of fact, man’s estrogen may be as high as that of a woman’s in his 60’s. Estrogen in men – weight gain, belly fat, heat in the body & excessive need to urinate (BPH).
Stress – high cortisol – insomnia, anxiety, sugar cravings, feeling tired but wired & increased belly fat.
