Testosterone and Heart Health: Safe, Effective Support for Men Over 40

At Envizion Medical, we know that low testosterone affects more than just energy or sex drive. For men over 40, testosterone plays a vital role in heart health, weight loss, metabolism, and overall longevity. During Men’s Health Month, we highlight why optimizing testosterone is one of the smartest and safest moves for long-term wellness.

The Link Between Low Testosterone and Heart Health

New research confirms what our patients experience every day: men with low testosterone have an increased risk of cardiovascular problems.

In an extensive study of over 5,000 men, researchers from the New England Journal of Medicine found that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) did not increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. Restoring testosterone to healthy levels may support several heart-protective functions.

How Testosterone Therapy Supports a Stronger Heart

✅ 1. Enhances Blood Flow and Circulation

Testosterone supports vasodilation, helping blood vessels relax and circulate oxygen more efficiently. This improves stamina and may reduce the risk of issues like high blood pressure or erectile dysfunction, both of which are early signs of heart trouble.

✅ 2. Improves Metabolic Health

Healthy testosterone levels help regulate:

• Cholesterol (improving HDL and lowering LDL)

• Blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

• Fat distribution, especially abdominal fat, is linked to heart disease

✅ 3. Reduces Chronic Inflammation

Low testosterone is often linked to elevated inflammatory markers. TRT has been shown to lower these markers, reducing strain on the heart and arteries over time.

Men Over 40: Don’t Ignore These Symptoms

If you’re feeling “off” and over 40, your heart may not be the only thing affected. Symptoms of low testosterone often include:

• Constant fatigue

• Weight gain (especially belly fat)

• Brain fog or decreased focus

• Low motivation and mood

• Declining sexual health

And behind the scenes? Rising cardiovascular risk.
