Men's bodys change too, and nobody's talking about it. Low energy, stubborn weight gain, mood swings – they're real for men too, and they're fixable. Reclaim your vitality, and perform at your peak. This is aging like a champion – backed by science, built on strength, zero judgment included.
Everyone ages differently. Women go through a specific aging process called menopause. And while every woman will experience it, not everyone is aware of what to expect. (And it's good for men to understand.)
You might be wondering if there is an equivalent hormonal aging process for men. While there is no distinct man-opause (male menopause), men do experience hormonal changes as they age.
All men will see a reduction in testosterone with age. But this change is gradual and not as marked as estrogen’s changes in women.
Symptoms of reduced testosterone include a loss of muscle mass and decreased energy. Some men may experience mood changes, decreases in strength, and sex drive to name a few. The physical symptoms can be alleviated with regular exercise. And changes in mood can be addressed with mindfulness, emotional support, and help from a trusted healthcare provider.
No matter what’s ahead, when you understand how your body changes as you age, you will feel ready to march into each new year and decade with confidence. And preparing for healthy aging now can help ease your body into each subsequent phase of life.
If you’re a man looking to optimize your health—or a woman wanting to support the men in your life—here’s what you need to know about testosterone, prostate health, and aging well.
The prostate is a small but mighty gland that plays a crucial role in men's health. Yet, many men don’t think about it until they start experiencing issues.
If you’ve been dealing with bloating, irregular digestion, low energy, or unexpected mood swings, your gut might be the missing piece to feeling your best. Let’s break down why gut health matters for men and how to improve it.
With over 20 years in health and nutrition (and for my own wellness journey) I've done the research. If I've haven't personally taken or used what I recommend, my husband, son, and thousands of other men have. I know what's marketing hype and what's not. I share honest recommendations on scientifically-selected products so you can feel good about what you are taking.
. . . because there’s nothing worse than taking your wife's vitamins?
Vitamins and supplements are a key part of a healthy living strategy for men and women. According to the 2020 - 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, many Americans don't get the nutrients we need from diet alone, missing some of the core vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Supplementation is a great choice to support optimal health, healthy aging, and fill in gaps of your diet. Not matter your age, or life stage, foundational support is a good thing.
Vitamin and supplement needs will vary depending on the person and their age, sex, lifestyle, health status and dietary choices. For example, with men maintaining prostate health should be a concern because as men age, many are at risk for developing prostate problems. In addition, men typically require diets higher in protein as well and, like women, need to support their bone health as they age.
The FDA does not require supplements to be pre-approved for quality, safety or effectiveness. These choice supplements meet and exceed these standards, offering superior purity, potency, and transparency. They’re made in FDA-registered facilities, adhere to strict quality guidelines voluntarily using the more stringent GMP for pharmaceuticals, and undergo rigorous third-party testing.

I did a lot of research before choosing USANA Health Sciences as my primary supplement partner. I even took the white gown tour of their facilities! Not only do they fit the bill for everything I was looking for in a product and company, they continue to have product and scientific breakthroughs like their Nutritional Hybrid Technology and their patented Incelligence Technology (even the skincare has this patented technology).
With a global research and development team of more than 150 scientists and backgrounds in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, pharmacy, genetics, and exercise science, the science can be trusted. Each product is optimized from the cellular level up to ensure each vitamin, mineral, and nutrient is bioavailable, absorbable, and usable in your body. Rigorous protocols develop products through smart science that are proven to be safe for you and your family. Each product goes through six phases before arriving at your doorstep: research, formulation, clinical trials, in-house manufacturing, best-in-class quality control processes, and third-party verification.
It's the quality control that holds my confidence high. USANA Health Sciences offers the highest quality products you can find anywhere. because they control your product from concept to delivery ensuring they have been thoroughly analyzed for effectiveness and quality and what’s on the label is in the product. To guarantee their quality, their products are manufactured under rigorous conditions, and each product goes through four major areas of testing: Purity, Identity, Composition, and Strength. The quality control process is unique for each product and each raw material. Their Research and Development team custom designs the testing necessary for each individual product and ingredients.
They must also meet the manufacturing and regulatory standards of each country to sell products there. Examples of these include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and USP, NSF, Consumer Lab, Informed Choice, OK Kosher, IFANCA Halal and others. USANA meets and exceeds these standards by voluntarily using the more stringent GMP for pharmaceuticals (21 CFR, part 211) as the model for its quality-assurance program. This model regulates virtually every aspect of manufacturing, including facility design and maintenance, raw material specification and control, supplier validation, product design, product testing, and more.
And the manufacturing got a stamp of approval with when their manufacturing facility became an approved FDA Registered manufacturing facility (very rare for a supplement company).
In addition, trust is a major issue for athletes competing for a place in the Olympics and other high-profile athletic competitions. Taking nutritional supplements to help maintain health should never put an athlete at risk for testing positive for a banned substance. Our product partner had an Athlete Guarantee Program that will compensate athletes up to $1 million if they test positive for any banned substances. That's putting your money where your mouth is.
For these and many more reasons, my confidence in this partnership is strong. If you have any questions, please message me.
