Course description
What happens when estrogen and testosterone levels drop in women and men respectively? Women's decline in estrogen is called menopause, while men's decline in testosterone is called andropause.
Menopause doesn't just affect women, but men too.
For men, menopause begins around the age of 50-60, while for women it begins around the age of 45-55, depending on lifestyle.
THIS IS WHAT WE'LL COVER IN THE WEBINAR
We take a look at the symptoms associated with menopause and the hormonal changes that take place in the body. We dive into the causes behind menopause and explore treatments to manage premature menopause and alleviate or eliminate its symptoms to make them more manageable.
There are some differences in the symptoms of menopause between men and women, but there are also several similar challenges that both can experience.
- Shoulder pain, joint pain, headaches and dizziness
- Weight gain and fluctuating appetite
- Fatigue and depression-like symptoms
- Loss of muscle mass and general weakening of strength and ability to regenerate after injuries and intense training
- Nocturnal urge to urinate and insomnia
- decreased libido
- And many, many more
