Ask any adult about menopause, and they’ll likely know a thing or two related to what happens in a females life, but bring up andropause, and you’ll probably get a few confused looks.

Low testosterone, andropause, the “male menopause”—whatever you want to call it, is very real.

So real 30% of men in their 50s experience effects of hormonal changes with rates rising as age increases.

These symptoms can come and go, sometimes making this experience unbearable. But, YOU ARE NOT ALONE and WE ARE HERE TO HELP!

Click the link below and take our short quiz to see if the symptoms you are experiencing could be hormone related.

💧DID YOU KNOW: The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends Women should consume about 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of total water intake per day? This includes all beverages and moisture in food.

💧For Men: The IOM suggests about 3.7 liters (125 ounces) of total water intake per day. This also includes all beverages and moisture in food.

It's important to note that these recommendations include all fluids consumed, not just water. Foods with high water content, like fruits and vegetables, contribute to overall hydration.

Additionally, individual needs can vary, so listening to your body's thirst signals and adjusting intake based on factors like physical activity and environmental conditions is key.

Thank you to all the hardworking individuals who make our communities thrive!

An extra big THANK YOU to our amazing team members at our Columbia and Charleston practices.

Meet our Physician Assistant, Karen Gadol! A fun fact about Karen, she is originally from James Island, but moved to Scotland for two years during high school!

She had this to say when asked what she enjoys most about helping our patients: “I am passionate about helping people be healthy and feel their best. My goal is to use as few medications as possible and encourage patients to live their best lives.”

Do you know that migraines affect 1 in 5 women, 1 in 16 men.

Here a few reason why:
• Fluctuations in estrogen can trigger headaches.
• Both estrogen and progesterone affect several neurons in the brain.
• And, imbalances between estrogen and progesterone may increase migraine susceptibility.

While not all migraines are caused by a hormone dysregulation, these symptoms, especially in women 40 and older, could be an indicator that your hormones are no longer optimized.

Happy Independence Day, USA!

Praying everyone has a safe and relaxing 4th of July holiday. Reminder: our offices are closed today and we will resume regular business hours on Monday, July 8.

Did you know that with the right nutrients — like Metabolic Xtra — you can boost our body's ability to break down sugars and carbohydrates for energy! Weight and metabolic function go hand in hand. That's because when your metabolism is functioning as it should, you're able to maintain a healthy weight.

The powerful combination of ingredients such as; alpha lipoic, chromium, berberine, and resvida, all support how our bodies burn and metabolize fat.

Metabolic Xtra has also been shown to:
• Promote healthy insulin receptor function and signaling.

• Help with healthy glucose metabolism, which is the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugars to stimulate insulin production.

• Support glucose homeostasis.

Lastly, Metabolic Xtra contains 350 mg of berberine HCl per capsule, a natural plant alkaloid that may enhance insulin receptor expression and function. It also contains resVida, which is 99% pure trans-resveratrol, a compound that's often associated with the health benefits of red wine.

Call, stop by your local office or visit shop.carolinahormoneandhealth.com to get your bottle of Metobolic Xtra!
