The Connection Between Weight, Testosterone, and Sexual Health
The Impact on Testosterone
Excess fat increases the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen. This hormonal imbalance leads to reduced muscle mass, lower energy, and diminished libido. Studies show that losing weight can significantly boost testosterone levels, restoring hormonal balance and vitality (NIDDK, 2021).
Sexual Health and Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Obesity is a leading cause of erectile dysfunction due to impaired blood flow and nerve function. Research shows that even moderate weight loss improves vascular health, testosterone levels, and sexual performance.
