The Hidden Door to Your Garden of Vitality
Many of us assume that feeling “old” is something we will not face until our 60s or 70s. The truth is, aging doesn't wait until we are older. It starts way earlier than most of us realize. Environmental stress, poor diet, and all of life's unexpected hurdles present an endless task to keeping our body in balance, especially if we don't take the necessary time to support our health to keep it running smoothly.
I experienced this firsthand in my early 40s after I had a traumatic back injury and began noticing some unsettling symptoms that were impossible to ignore: low energy, a decline in strength, and a noticeable loss of vitality. The physical and emotional toll of this injury, combined with my age, had caused my testosterone levels to crash, leaving me feeling disconnected from the vibrant, energetic person I used to be.
Suddenly, hormonal balance wasn’t just something I was advising others about, it was something I had to confront head-on with my own health. At the young age of 40, I knew pre-andropause was on the horizon, but this trauma had potentially created the perfect storm that fast-tracked a cascade of hormonal shifts, quickly amplifying its effects. This was my wake-up call and my time to act was now, before it was too late.
Myth vs Fact Redefining Testosterone From Rage to Radiance Testosterone often gets a bad rap as the temper-triggering, aggression hormone, but research over the past decade has flipped the script. Science now demonstrates that promoting this “raging hormone” can actually be the secret weapon for building one’s calm confidence, more like the “feel-good glow-up” hormone. |
The Science About Testosterone Is Abundantly Clear
Fortunately, since the early 2000s, there has been an explosion of research on testosterone. You can find over 2000 studies on PubMed that show the undeniable connection between testosterone and overall health. Low testosterone is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, muscle loss, chronic inflammation, and this list goes on.
Beyond all of these health concerns, low testosterone can rob you of your drive and vitality, leading to feelings of depression, diminished sexual desire, and a loss of that spark that just makes you feel alive. The science here is abundantly clear, low testosterone isn’t just about energy and mood, it’s connected to a whole range of health risks as men age, and this aging starts in our 30s.
What Is Free Testosterone?
By age 30, testosterone levels start to decline at a rate of about 1% per year. However, only 2% of your total testosterone is in the "Free" bioavailable form that your body can actually use... and this critical Free Testosterone declines even faster, dropping by 2% to 3% every year.
Free Testosterone is the active form that your body can use. It’s the Free Testosterone that fuels muscle growth, fat metabolism, bone health, cognitive performance, and much more. Even though total testosterone levels may look fine, about 98% of it is tied up by proteins like SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) or albumin, leaving only about 2% to be available in the Free Testosterone form. Moreover, as we age, our SHBG levels rise thus causing this 2% Free Testosterone to drop even lower, even when total testosterone levels appear to be normal. That’s why focusing on Free Testosterone gives a clearer picture of your hormonal health and helps you address energy, vitality, and overall well-being more effectively.

5 Supporting Strategies for Optimal Testosterone Performance
DHEA-Cortisol Ratio for Vitality: DHEA is one of the body’s key hormones which helps to intercoordinate the complex endocrine system promoting estrogen and testosterone balance.* By age 21, the adrenal glands produce abundant levels of DHEA: these levels peak around age 25 to 28. By age 40, DHEA levels are half of what they were at age 21. DHEA levels continue to decline steadily; by age 70, DHEA levels are 10% to 15% of the peak levels.
Maintaining DHEA levels in a healthy range reduces the risk of cortisol’s negative effects when the adrenal system is under distress, mitigating cortisol-induced muscle and bone loss, maintaining overall vitality especially during times of stress.* AzureWell’s DHEA from Wild Yam can help promote a balanced ratio of DHEA to Cortisol and optimize testosterone function.* Maintaining a healthy DHEA hormone balance is essential for maintaining hormone balance specific to testosterone, maintaining immune function and softening the catabolic effects of cortisol, helping to preserve muscle mass, bone density, and overall vitality.*
