I don't feel eighteen again. I do feel the sense of 'wanting to do things' again. I have low "T" ... low testosterone. I found out after routine blood tests, the doctor noticed low levels of Testosterone ...

First doctor sent me to a specialist, a metabolic sciences MD, who further tested me.

"As an endocrinologist, I'm thinking hormones," says Mezitis, who estimates that about a quarter to a third of the men he tests for low testosterone have levels below normal.

Women aren’t the only ones with a hormone cycle. Men have a hormone cycle, too. But there are big differences.
For instance, instead of having a month-long hormone cycle like gals, males go through an entire hormone cycle in a single 24 hours. Another difference: Men have 10 times more testosterone than women, so their hormone cycle is usually all about how their testosterone affects them.
A man’s body does make estrogen and progesterone like a woman’s body, though in much smaller amounts. The estrogen is produced in the adrenal gland. So, what’s a man’s 24-hour hormone cycle look like? His testosterone is highest in the morning when he wakes up and gets lower and lower as the day goes on. (Sheri Goddard. August 7th, 2012.
