The importance of correct testosterone levels
Many overweight men have low levels of testosterone.
For some, testosterone becomes so low that it can become a health risk. In addition, many men with low testosterone experience a lower quality of life as testosterone affects both mental and physical health.
There are many good reasons to keep track of your testosterone levels, from sexual health to stamina in everyday life, motivation and mental well-being. Thankfully, testosterone levels often rise in connection with weight loss and you will feel that you have your life and drive back.
Testosterone deficiency - hypogonadism, can lead to a host of symptoms such as decreased sex drive, decreased fertility, osteoporosis and decreased muscle mass/strength, to name a few. Overweight and obesity often have a negative impact on testosterone levels in men. Several studies have shown that obese men often have lower levels of testosterone compared to men of normal weight.
ADAM
It is unlikely that you have a testosterone deficiency.
Generally, 8-12 in testosterone is considered a gray area. If you have symptoms, you can be treated. Under 8 are almost always treated. However, you start with a weight loss to see if the testosterone rises. After a new test, an evaluation is made by a doctor. We set the right dose in consultation with the patient. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of ignorance in public health care about testosterone. In addition, there are unfortunately many perceptions about testosterone in society that are completely incorrect. The important thing is not to have a high value, it can even be of evil. The important thing is to have the right value.
What can we at Yazen help with?
Yazen treats patients and those with obesity. We help you on the way to a healthier life.
With the right weight and the right levels of testosterone.
Risks of testosterone deficiency and obesity
Men who are overweight or obese are at greater risk of testosterone deficiency for several reasons:
Adipose tissue and testosterone:
Adipose tissue has an enzyme called aromatase, which converts testosterone into oestrogen (the primary female sex hormone). When a man has a lot of adipose tissue, this conversion can lead to reduced levels of free, circulating testosterone.
Insulin resistance:
Men who are overweight or obese often have insulin resistance, which can negatively affect testosterone production.
Inflammation:
Overweight and obesity can also lead to chronic low-grade inflammation, which in turn can affect the function of Leydig cells in the testicles, which are responsible for testosterone production.

Frequently asked questions
Below we list the most frequently asked questions about our service. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact us and we will help you.
We prescribe the very latest weight loss injections (known as GLP-1). Prescriptions are based on individual assessment to determine the best treatment.
When you stop taking the injection, the results can be reversed meaning you have to start your weight loss journey again. However, it’s not dangerous to stop taking the medication and start again if you notice that you begin to gain weight.
Once a healthy weight is reached, some people, who have achieved an energy balance through lifestyle changes (including diet and exercise), may be able to stop taking the medication in certain cases. Yazen offers a loyalty pricing plan for those who choose to commit long term.
Weight loss injections are recommended for people with a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with certain pre existing medical conditions including high blood pressure, elevated blood lipids, elevated blood sugar, atherosclerosis and sleep apnea syndrome.
The medications can also be used to maintain weight loss achieved through dieting or weight loss surgery.
Because it is the body's own hormone that is used, which has only been modified to slow down its breakdown, the side effects are few and mild. In the larger studies that have been conducted, the side effects are relatively similar between test groups taking placebo and test groups taking medicine. Side effects are most common at the beginning of treatment, which is why the initial dose is low and increased slowly.
You may experience nausea, gas, and diarrhoea, mild gastritis, or constipation, but with the support of a dietitian, most symptoms can usually be avoided.
Doctor
Located just behind your YazenCoach, the doctors ensure that your prescription is as effective as possible. All doctors at Yazen are experts in the treatment of patients struggling with their weight.
Your doctor assists you with questions about medication treatment, renews prescriptions, wants to know how you experience the effects of the medication, and assesses weight loss and any side effects. In case of side effects that do not improve with adjustments to the diet, such as heartburn, constipation or nausea, medication may be prescribed. You can also receive assistance with certificates, such as Activity on Prescription (AoP) or travel certificates.Meet our doctors
