HOW TO LOSE THE DAD BOD
If human bodies were cars, the young male would be a sleek sports car speeding along the coastline. Left in its dust, the dad bod is the family sized minivan that chugs through the streets of suburbia.
The dad bod is often considered a staple of fatherhood or middle age, and as you get older it can be hard to revert back to the speedy sports car days.
While regular exercise and a healthy diet can help shed the extra weight, sometimes the dad bod’s signature fat retention can be a result of hormonal imbalances within the body. Testosterone especially, is a hormone which decreases every year as you age, and low levels can impede on your weight loss goals.
So although the dad bod’s petrol tank leaks testosterone with every road trip, there are ways to top up levels and get back into shape.
THE HORMONE IMBALANCE
As men get older, testosterone levels can decline by approximately 1% per year after age 30. That can seem like a major drop, however it is a normal process which justifies why it’s harder to lose weight as you get older.
Testosterone levels are measured in nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl), and the American Urological Association (AUA) deems 300-1070 ng/dl a normal range for the adult male. Anything below 300 ng/dl is classified as a low testosterone level.
Although testosterone levels can only be tested with pathology, there are signs of low testosterone to look out for.
Weakened bones
Reduced sex drive/libido
Muscle loss
Changes in sleep patterns
Difficulty concentrating
Fatigue
WHAT IS HGH?
Often thought of as the same thing, testosterone and HGH both influence hormone balance but play different roles in bodily functioning.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is responsible for testosterone growth and production within the body, thus when the body’s HGH levels decline, so do testosterone levels.
They therefore work together — HGH controls how much testosterone the body produces. Testosterone then influences the body’s muscle and fat mass. This is why muscle loss is conducive to ageing, especially in males.
HGH is produced by the pituitary gland and promotes lean muscle gain and improved recovery.

ACHIEVING HORMONE BALANCE
Testosterone is important in not only facilitating weight loss and muscle growth, but is responsible for many general health indicators. For this reason, it’s important to encourage the restoration of healthy testosterone levels.
Testosterone production feeds off vitamin D and zinc, so soak up some sun and consider adding some nutrient dense foods into your diet.
Foods like tuna, egg yolks, oysters, beef and beans can give your body the boost it needs to support this important hormone balance.
