According to the Mayo Clinic, the average male's testosterone level drops by one percent each year after the age of thirty. By the time you are 60 years old, your testosterone level has probably dropped about 30 percent. This drop may cause significant decreases in your sex drive, sperm count, muscle mass, bone density and red blood cell count. Aside from the controversial practice of testosterone replacement therapy, there are some natural ways you can try to boost your testosterone levels.

Keeping your weight down and exercising are very important.  Resistance training is a great way to naturally increase your testosterone level.  This is also beneficial to women as well.  Some of the general effects of low testosterone in men and women are, decreased sex drive (libido), decreased energy and decreased muscle mass.

Make sure to incorporate exercise into your routine for energy and vitality.  We have programs for ages 50+ that will help you stay strong and young.   Enjoy this life we have!!  Join a BrandFit 50 program.

At age 51, It started with a few hot flashes everyday for 1 month, and then no period for 4 months.   I'm thinking .. YES, no more periods.  Time to celebrate!!  But wait ... I started noticing some morning nausea feelings.  Now this nausea is very reminiscent of my morning sickness during pregnancy ... NO, could it be, I certainly couldn't be pregnant.  Or could I?  
So it was time to research this nausea issue, and to my relief  have found the following information:

Nausea can occur due to a lack of estrogen in the body during menopause. Low estrogen levels also affect fat distribution and this result in bio-chemical changes in the gut. These changes can trigger several of the other symptoms of menopause and nausea, too.

Menopause symptoms and nausea often begin during peri-menopause, the stage before actual menopause begins. Nausea can be particularly problematic in the mornings, much like it is during pregnancy. This could be due to hormonal fluctuations or diet, but more research on the topic needs to be carried out. There are various cases where menopausal symptoms and nausea are related:
