A Quick Men’s Hormone & Wellness Check-In


This checklist is meant to help you notice patterns—not to diagnose. Many of these patterns are completely normal. However, if you’re finding these patterns are affecting your daily life, you may want to consider Peptide Therapy or Hormone Replacement Therapy.

In Your Late 20s–Early 30s

Hormone shifts at this stage are often subtle and easy to write off as stress or a busy schedule. You might notice:

  • Energy dips despite good sleep
  • Longer recovery after workouts
  • Difficulty maintaining muscle tone
  • Increased stress or irritability
  • Brain fog or trouble focusing
  • Needing more caffeine than you used to

Common thought: “I’m just tired. This is normal.”

In Your Mid–Late 30s


This is often when changes become more noticeable—and harder to ignore.

You might notice:

  • Slower muscle gains or strength plateaus
  • Increased body fat, especially around the midsection
  • Lower motivation or drive
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • Reduced libido or sexual confidence

Common thought: “I’m doing the same things—but getting different results.”

In Your 40s and Beyond

Hormonal shifts may feel more pronounced and start affecting daily life.

You might notice:

  • Consistently low energy
  • Difficulty maintaining strength or endurance
  • Mental fog or slower reaction time
  • Changes in mood or confidence
  • Increased recovery time
  • Changes in libido or performance

Common thought: “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

  • When It Might Be Worth Looking Deeper


Many men decide to explore support when:

  • Symptoms feel persistent rather than occasional
  • Training, nutrition, and sleep aren’t helping
  • Motivation or performance continues to decline
  • They want clarity—not guesswork—about what’s happening internally

Blood work can offer valuable insight into testosterone levels and other markers that influence energy, body composition, mood, and overall wellness.

What Support Can Look Like

  • Peptides: Often explored by men who want support for recovery, metabolism, and energy without immediately pursuing hormone therapy
  • Hormone Therapy (BHRT): May be appropriate for men experiencing more significant testosterone decline, guided by lab work and medical evaluation

If This Sounds Familiar

Noticing these changes doesn’t mean something is wrong—it means your body is asking for support. While changes and hormone fluctuations are normal, some find their hormone levels have reduced beyond normal levels due to added stress and pressure. Peptide therapy or Hormone Replacement for testosterone support can have huge benefits to help support your body during these fluctuations.
