Aging tends to cause weight gain, notably around the belly, and attempts to lose weight are often fraught with frustration, as the weight and belly fat tend to stick around. In tandem, energy and mood are also affected.

Declining circulating testosterone is a culprit, as are high levels of circulating cortisol, a stress-response hormone. Cortisol is necessary for a fight-or-flight reaction; however, modern lifestyles tend to create a chronic, low-grade stress that releases cortisol, which increases appetite. In other words, stress eating. Additionally, this status creates the tendency to store visceral fat around your middle.

These results suggest that supplementation with FreeTETM may help to maintain normal levels of cortisol (low) and testosterone (high) and thus promote an overall “anabolic” hormonal state. In addition, the higher testosterone level also contributes to higher energy levels and reduced fatigue and prevents dieters from binge eating. FreeTETM is available at LowTEFlorida.com or at LowTE Florida, 4540 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale. Tel: 954-791-4498.
