Cause #1: Low testosterone
Testosterone is the main male hormone that has to do with the reproductive system, muscle growth and your mood. What is important to know is that most low-testosterone problems come from high amounts of other hormones, like estrogen and insulin.
-Estrogen is a female sex hormone that also exist in a male body (in small amounts). Too much estrogen will lower the amount of testosterone in your body.
-Cortisol is a hormone that is produced when your body is undergoing physical or mental stress. High cortisol will push your testosterone down.
-Insulin is a fat-storing hormone that is produced by your body when your blood sugar goes high. High insulin will push your testosterone down.
