Way 14: Manage Chronic Medical Conditions
Certain chronic medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, can negatively impact hormone production, including testosterone. Poor management of these conditions can exacerbate hormonal imbalances and contribute to further health complications. As a result, it’s essential to prioritize the management of chronic medical conditions to support healthy testosterone levels and overall hormonal balance.
Proper management of chronic conditions often involves a combination of lifestyle modifications and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional. For example, maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress can all contribute to better management of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Additionally, it’s important to maintain regular check-ups with your healthcare team to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. By working closely with your healthcare team, you can create an optimal environment for hormone production and overall well-being. (13)
