Why Testosterone & Fertility Are Dropping in Younger Men

The Stats: Testosterone Levels Are Falling Fast

• Since the year 2000, average testosterone levels in men under 40 have dropped over 25–30%.

• One large U.S. study found that average total testosterone fell from 605 ng/dL to 451 ng/dL in just 15 years.

• Around 1 in 5 young men now meet the criteria for testosterone deficiency.

• Fertility is also down — sperm counts, motility, and overall reproductive health are following the same decline.

This means more fatigue, more weight gain, more mood issues — and less fertility — starting earlier than ever.

Common Signs of Low Testosterone

If you notice several of these, it’s worth checking your levels:

• Low energy or constant fatigue

• Decreased sex drive or performance

• Difficulty building muscle / easier fat gain

• Mood swings, brain fog, or irritability

• Poor sleep

• Loss of motivation or confidence

• Slower recovery from workouts

Health Risks of Low Testosterone

Low testosterone isn’t just about libido — it impacts nearly every system in your body:

• Metabolic issues: higher risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and weight gain

• Heart health: lower HDL and higher triglycerides

• Bone health: decreased bone density and fracture risk

• Mood and focus: higher rates of depression and anxiety

• Fertility: reduced sperm count and motility

Your hormones are the foundation of your metabolism, muscle, and mood — and when T crashes, everything else follows.

Why It’s Happening

Several factors are stacking up against men today:

1. More body fat → more estrogen (fat tissue converts testosterone into estrogen)

2. Poor sleep and chronic stress lower your brain’s signal to make testosterone

3. Toxin exposure (plastics, BPA, phthalates) damages hormone receptors

4. Low vitamin D and nutrient deficiencies slow hormone production

5. Less physical activity and lower muscle mass mean weaker feedback to the endocrine system

In short — modern life is a testosterone killer.

How to Boost Testosterone Naturally

You can absolutely turn this around with consistent lifestyle changes and the right support.

1. Fix the Basics

• Sleep 7–9 hours (testosterone peaks during deep sleep)

• Strength train 3–5x per week

• Eat enough protein and healthy fats

• Cut processed sugar and alcohol

• Manage stress (meditation, cold exposure, breathwork)

• Get sunlight or supplement vitamin D3

The CoreAscend Testosterone Stack System

Now let’s talk about backing up your lifestyle with precision supplementation.

CoreAscend’s approach supports every major pathway involved in testosterone production and balance — from the brain to the testes.

Triple T Elite Stack

Targets: Stress → SHBG → Free Testosterone → DHT balance

Includes:

• Ashwagandha — lowers cortisol, improves sleep, and raises total T by up to 15%.

• Boron — increases free testosterone by reducing SHBG and supports DHT conversion.

• Vitamin E — protects Leydig cells (where testosterone is made) from oxidative stress.

• Vitamin B6 — helps your body use and metabolize hormones efficiently.

Pathways Triggered:

• ↓ Cortisol → ↑ GnRH → ↑ LH → ↑ Testosterone

• ↓ SHBG binding → ↑ Free, bioactive T

• ↑ Antioxidant protection in the testes

Test Ascend

Targets: Leydig cell stimulation → Aromatase control → Energy & drive

Key Ingredients:

• Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) — clinically shown to boost testosterone, reduce SHBG, and improve strength and libido.

• Vitamin D3 — critical for hormone production; acts directly on testicular receptors.

Pathways Triggered:

• ↑ LH & Free T via hypothalamus-pituitary axis

• ↓ Aromatase activity → less testosterone converted into estrogen

• ↑ Mitochondrial energy inside Leydig cells

The Science Behind These Nutrients

Takeaway

Low testosterone isn’t just an “older man’s problem” anymore — it’s affecting men in their 20s and 30s at record levels.

But you can take control.

• Lift heavy.

• Sleep deeply.

• Eat clean.

• Manage stress.

• Support your body with targeted nutrients that actually move the needle.

The Triple T Elite Stack and Test Ascend were designed exactly for that — to restore the foundation of strength, focus, energy, and drive.
