Difficulty sleeping at night
Lack of energy and fatigue
Reduced mental focus and memory
Mood swings, anxiousness, and low mood
Weight gain, including increased fat around mid-section
Inability to lose weight regardless of healthy diet and exercise
Decreased muscle strength
Muscle and joint discomfort
Reduced sexual desire and performance
