Metabolic Health and Androgens

Meaning

Metabolic Health and Androgens refers to the interdependent relationship between an individual’s systemic metabolic state—encompassing glucose regulation, lipid profile, and body composition—and the concentration and action of androgen hormones, primarily testosterone. Optimal metabolic health is fundamentally supported by healthy androgen levels, which influence insulin sensitivity and fat distribution. Conversely, metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, can significantly disrupt the entire androgenic environment.
