Low Testosterone and 'Brain Fog'

OK, let’s see if you can concentrate long enough to finish this article. Low T has quite a few weird symptoms that most guys don’t really notice that they have until they are fixed. A classic example of this is what I will call ‘brain fog’. The scientific studies that have looked at this use the term 'cognitive function’.

If you have suffered from low T you probably know exactly what I’m talking about here. You get halfway through a conversation and forget what you were talking about. You find yourself in the kitchen with absolutely no idea why you are there. For me it was like a detached, spaced out feeling – like I was observing life as opposed to participating in it.

The hard part here is that once you have felt like this for a while, it just feels 'normal’ to you. You stop characterizing it as a problem – it’s just a characteristic of you.

A few years ago, I found out that my T level was 355 ng / dL at 35 years old. It’s important to note that this is not a 'rock bottom’ reading. I wasn’t at the level of what would always be considered a 'clinical’ problem, even though I had the T level of a 75 year old man!

Anyway, long story short (and I will get into the long story in later posts), by the time I got up to 500 ng / dL I felt like a different person. At 650 I felt like superman, but again I’ll tell that story later!

The first improvement that I noticed was my 'cognitive function’. I don’t have a good way to describe it other than my brain just felt 'quicker’. I could concentrate on one thing for long periods of time, I seemed to always have a witty comeback to any comment, I just generally felt more 'connected’ to what was going on around me.

It’s hard to explain, but I really felt like I had just been observing the past few years as opposed to living them, and I didn’t even realize I had a problem until I fixed it. This prompted me to do some research – it turns out that my experience is fairly common (try Googling testosterone and brain fog or concentration – it seems to be really common). There is also a growing body of medical research on this topic – the best summary I have found of the existing research can be found in the January 2008 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch.

Anyway, the moral of the story is this – if you’re a guy aged 35+ and you feel 'spaced out’ all of the time, get your T level checked. If it turns out that it’s related to low T then you have options open to you – it’s a condition that can be managed to improve your quality of life.
