I am starting find out that sunlight is another regulator for hormones production in our bodies. And that due the amount of time we are spending indoors and the amount of sunblock we are putting on, some of us do not get enough sunlight to generating the hormones and the vitamin D that we need at certain parts of the country. I am not advocating suntanning without sunblock, but it boggles my mind that some people do not even spend 10 minutes in the sunlight. I am glad that you found the solution that works for you. Thanks for sharing. @Greg – Interesting about the light therapy. I am starting find out that sunlight is another regulator for hormones production in our bodies.

I'm now using light therapy in the evening when testosterone levels are low. This boosts my testosterone, which boosts my kidney sodium reabsorption, which in turn keeps my blood sodium in the correct range and my brain healthy.

But for men going through andropause, their testosterone levels drop at a quicker rate. Here is an article on Bodybuilding.com with a chart of age vs testosterone level: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/planet2.htm This is going to open up another can of worms. http://www.ourstolenfuture.org/newscience/reproduction/2006/2006-1210travisonetal.html What do you think? Are men less "manly" now than they were in 1987? @Colin – In general, average drop in testosterone is about 10% each decade after 30.
