Struggling with stubborn weight gain despite eating right and exercising? For many men, the answer could be linked to low testosterone (“Low T”). Testosterone plays a vital role in metabolism, energy, and body composition. When levels drop, especially with age, the body may hold onto fat more easily.
At Chicago Stem Cell Therapy and Exosomes, your care is led by Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi – also known as the MD Brothers – who have more than 15 years of experience in internal and aesthetic medicine. Their advanced approach blends clinical expertise with innovative hormone optimization strategies.
This blog explores how restoring testosterone levels can support your health goals and help you get closer to your target weight.
How Testosterone Impacts Weight and Metabolism
Testosterone helps regulate fat distribution and muscle development. When levels are optimal, the body is more efficient at burning calories, building lean muscle, and maintaining energy. However, low testosterone can:
- Slow metabolism
- Increase abdominal fat
- Reduce lean muscle mass
- Lower motivation and stamina
These factors can make it more challenging to maintain a healthy weight and consistent energy, no matter how focused you are on your training and nutrition.
Can Testosterone Therapy Promote Weight Loss?
Supplemental testosterone is not a magic fix for weight loss, but it can be a significant piece of the puzzle for men with clinically low levels. Here are some potential benefits:
- Men on testosterone therapy often notice a reduction in fat mass, particularly around the abdomen.
- Increased testosterone can support better muscle tone and physical performance.
- Improved mood and motivation from balanced hormones may help with sticking to a healthy lifestyle.
When used alongside a balanced diet and consistent exercise, testosterone replacement can promote fat loss, muscle gain, and changes in overall body composition.
