What Is Hormone Imbalance in Men
Hormone imbalance in men occurs when key hormones — especially testosterone — fall outside their optimal ranges, disrupting metabolic, cardiovascular, reproductive, and neurological function. While many men assume fatigue, low libido, weight gain, or reduced performance are simply part of “normal aging,” these changes are often signs of a treatable hormonal imbalance.
At Nava Health, we take an integrative, data-driven approach to hormone therapy for men. Using advanced hormone testing and comprehensive male hormone panels, our specialists identify exactly what is out of balance — including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormones — and create a personalized hormone optimization plan designed to restore energy, improve metabolism, support cardiovascular health, and enhance overall quality of life — not just provide temporary symptom relief.

How Hormone Imbalance Works & Whole-Body Health Benefits
Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that influence nearly every system in the male body. When hormones — especially testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone — become imbalanced, the effects extend far beyond libido or mood, impacting heart health, metabolism, muscle mass, bone density, cognitive performance, and longevity.
Testosterone: Central to Men’s Health
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for lean muscle mass, energy production, libido, mood stability, motivation, and cognitive function. Optimal testosterone levels are also associated with metabolic efficiency, healthy body composition, insulin sensitivity, and reduced risk of age-related decline. When appropriate, testosterone replacement therapy can play a key role in restoring vitality and performance.
Estrogen & Progesterone Balance
Men also produce estrogen and progesterone, and their balance with testosterone is critical for optimal health. Excess estrogen relative to testosterone can contribute to fat gain, gynecomastia (male breast tissue enlargement), low libido, and emotional imbalance. Progesterone helps regulate testosterone conversion and supports cardiovascular health, nervous system balance, and mood stability.
Cardiovascular & Metabolic Benefits
Balanced male hormones play a protective role in cardiovascular and metabolic health, including:
- Heart function: Hormone balance supports healthy cholesterol levels, vascular function, and inflammatory regulation essential for cardiovascular resilience.
- Metabolic health: Testosterone and progesterone influence insulin sensitivity, fat distribution, muscle mass, and metabolic rate, affecting long-term weight management and disease risk.
- Bone density: Adequate testosterone and estrogen levels help maintain strong bones and reduce fracture risk as men age.
Brain Health & Emotional Well-Being
Hormones also regulate mood, motivation, concentration, sleep quality, and stress response. Rebalancing hormones through male hormone therapy has been linked to improved energy, reduced anxiety, clearer thinking, better emotional stability, and enhanced overall quality of life.
At Nava Health, we assess your complete hormone profile and develop a targeted treatment plan — often including Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) — to restore balance and optimize long-term cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and hormonal health, not just short-term symptom relief.

Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men
Hormone imbalance symptoms in men can affect physical, emotional, and cognitive health. These symptoms often develop gradually and are frequently misattributed to stress or aging, but they may signal underlying male hormone imbalance that warrants evaluation.
Physical & Sexual Health Symptoms
- Low libido or reduced sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Gynecomastia (male breast enlargement)
- Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat
- Persistent fatigue or low energy
- Trouble sleeping or poor sleep quality
Metabolic & Cognitive Symptoms
- Difficulty losing weight
- Brain fog or poor concentration
- Elevated blood sugar or insulin resistance
- Low motivation or depression
- Mood swings or irritability
Other Indicators
- Decreased bone density
- Changes in body hair growth
- Anxiety or emotional instability
These symptoms may indicate low testosterone, commonly associated with age-related hormonal decline known as andropause, as well as imbalanced estrogen, elevated cortisol, or thyroid dysfunction — making comprehensive hormone testing essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anxiety can be a constant companion, causing your body to release more cortisol and adrenaline. This can disrupt your hormone levels, potentially lowering testosterone, which is crucial for muscle strength, energy, and libido. Such imbalances might contribute to weight gain and reduced sexual desire.
Untreated hormone imbalances can lead to various health risks, affecting your mood, energy levels, and stress responses. Factors like stress and genetics can worsen anxiety, indicating possible underlying hormone deficiencies. It’s important to recognize symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and sleep disturbances early on. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can effectively address these imbalances, potentially easing anxiety and improving your overall well-being.
Untreated hormone imbalance in men can lead to health risks such as high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, and conditions related to obesity. Factors like excess weight, sedentary lifestyle, or substance use can worsen these conditions.
Our specialists offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a potential solution to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance, such as low testosterone or thyroid dysfunction. HRT aims to rebalance your hormones, potentially enhancing your energy, mood, sleep quality, and overall life satisfaction. To explore whether HRT is right for you, speak with a qualified physician specializing in hormone balance to create a personalized treatment plan.
Exposure to certain chemicals like pesticides and plastics can disrupt your endocrine system. These substances, known as endocrine disruptors, can mimic or block hormones, interfering with normal hormone function in your body. This disruption can lead to hormonal imbalances affecting reproductive health, metabolism, and mental well-being.
Lifestyle factors such as stress, diet choices, and physical activity can also influence hormone levels. We recommend discussing these factors with our doctors at our holistic health facilities to learn how to manage exposure to environmental factors effectively.
