Learn More »Overview Testosterone is a powerful hormone in both men and women. It has the ability to control sex drive, regulate sperm production, promote muscle mass, and increase energy. It can even influence human behavior, such as aggression and competitiveness. As you grow older, the level of testosterone in your body gradually decreases. This can lead to a variety of changes such as reduced sex drive. While lower testosterone levels may be concerning, it’s a natural part of aging. Normal testosterone levels The “normal” or healthy level of testosterone in the bloodstream varies widely, depending on thyroid function, protein status, and other factors. According to recent guidelines from the American Urological Association (AUA), a testosterone level of at least 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) is normal for a man. A man with a testosterone level below 300 ng/dL should be diagnosed with low testosterone. For women ages 19 and up, normal testosterone levels range from 8 to 60 ng/dL, according to Mayo Clinic Laboratories. Testosterone levels reach their peak around age 18 or 19 before declining throughout the remainder of adulthood. In the womb Testosterone is necessary for normal fetal development during pregnancy. It controls the development of the male reproductive system. Testosterone levels in the womb may also affect how your right and left brain function, according to one study that looked at 60 children. Testosterone levels have to fall within a very narrow margin in order for the fetal brain to be healthy. High levels of fetal testosterone may be linked to autism. Adolescence to early adulthood Testosterone levels are at their highest during adolescence and early adulthood. In boys, the first physical signs of testosterone, or androgens, in the body are apparent during puberty. A boy’s voice changes, his shoulders broaden, and his facial structure becomes more masculine. Adulthood As men get older, their testosterone levels may decline about 1 percent per year after age 30. In premenopausal women, testosterone is made mainly in the ovaries. Levels will decline after menopause, which usually begins between ages 45 and 55. Tests and diagnosis The best way to diagnose low testosterone is to visit your doctor for a physical exam and a blood test. Your doctor will look at your physical appearance and sexual development. Because testosterone levels are usually higher in the morning, the blood test should be performed before 10:00 a.m. in younger men. Men over 45 can be tested until 2:00 p.m. and still receive accurate results. Risks associated with the blood test are rare but may include bleeding, pain at the injection site, or infection.

Based on the American Cancer Society’s recommendation of 5 or more servings of vegetables and fruit each day, as well as the potential benefit of tomato intake for men with prostate cancer, we recommend that men consume 2 or more servings per week of cooked tomatoes, such as sauteed or roasted tomatoes, marinara sauce, tomato soup, etc. Some epidemiologic studies suggest that greater intake of tomatoes, especially cooked tomatoes (i.e. tomato sauce) after prostate cancer diagnosis reduces risk of prostate cancer progression. In the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, a two-serving per week increase in tomato sauce intake was associated with a 20% reduction in risk of prostate cancer progression (mostly biochemical recurrence). Tomatoes are a good source of the antioxidant, lycopene, which neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative damage to cells. Cooking tomatoes in a little oil increases the absorption of lycopene compared to raw tomatoes or tomato juice, which is why we recommend consuming cooked tomato products at least two times per week. Healthy unsaturated oils, such as canola or olive oil, may also be beneficial for men with prostate cancer and thus cooking tomatoes in small amounts of these healthy fats is a win-win! More information from clinical trials is needed to prove whether consuming lycopene-rich foods prevents progression of prostate cancer. Until these definitive studies are completed, we recommend obtaining lycopene through a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits, such as cooked tomato products, rather than supplements. Consuming excessive amounts of any one nutrient is rarely beneficial, and may actually be harmful, so it is best to achieve good nutrition through dietary choices.
