Running/excessive cardio and testosterone

I lOVE running. I love the freedom of being able to do it anywhere you go and being outside whatever the weather. If you enjoy it there are many obvious health benefits too of course, but if it’s all you do it can deplete your testosterone levels. Low testosterone causes:

- low libido

- low mood

- concentration problems

- lowering energy levels

- reduced focus and clarity of thought

Doing resistance/strength training however helps boost testosterone levels 👍🏻😊. Additionally testosterone is also available as a HRT option and can be prescribed by a women’s health specialist. It can be taken alongside oestrogen and progesterone.
