Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a crucial role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, their testosterone levels often decline, leading to a condition known as hypogonadism or low testosterone. This decline can start as early as the 30s and symptoms often worsen over time.
Common signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:
If multiple symptoms are present, a blood test is recommended to check testosterone levels. If levels are below the normal range, treatment may significantly improve quality of life. Left untreated, hypogonadism can have serious health consequences over time including osteoporosis, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves restoring testosterone levels with the use of gels, injections, patches or pellets. When properly administered, TRT can provide exceptional benefits including:
Many men notice a substantial increase in libido and sexual function when beginning TRT. Testosterone is essential for arousal, erections and enjoyment of sex. Relationship satisfaction often improves as intimacy is restored.
Testosterone promotes the growth and maintenance of lean muscle. Men undergoing TRT often notice improved muscle tone, easier muscle building at the gym, and decreased body fat especially around the abdomen.
By alleviating fatigue and "brain fog", TRT enables men to have the energy and mental clarity to excel in work, hobbies and family life. Motivation increases and life satisfaction often follows.
Testosterone regulates neurotransmitters in the brain that influence mood and outlook. Many men report feeling more positive and optimistic with improved emotional regulation. Depression often improves or resolves with TRT.
Adequate testosterone promotes bone mineral density and cardiovascular health - preventing osteoporosis and reducing heart disease risk over the long term. TRT provides protective benefits well into older age.
By building muscle, burning fat and stabilizing metabolism, TRT significantly lowers the likelihood of developing metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes as men enter middle age and beyond.
When properly managed by an experienced physician, TRT is extremely safe with substantial quality of life benefits for men with low testosterone. Lifestyle changes are also key for achieving optimal wellness on therapy.
The first step is an initial consultation and physical exam by one of our highly-trained physicians specializing in hormone therapy. We will obtain your health history, discuss symptoms and perform a physical exam.
Lab testing will check total and free testosterone, estradiol, CBC, CMP metabolic panel, PSA and other hormone levels. Test results will confirm if TRT is appropriate for improving wellness and vitality.
If blood tests indicate you are a candidate for TRT, your physician will develop a customized therapy protocol designed to restore optimal hormone balance and alleviate low testosterone symptoms.
The prescribed regimen will include your ideal dose, frequency, and route of administration - such as twice weekly subcutaneous injections, daily topical gels or 6 month subcutaneous pellets. Follow up lab testing ensures your protocol is optimized over time.
You will return for follow up assessments at regular intervals - usually every 3 to 6 months. We closely track lab results, symptom improvements and any side effects to ensure therapy is working safely and effectively.
Guidance on nutrition, fitness, sleep hygiene and stress management will also be provided to help you achieve your wellness goals. We find lifestyle factors highly impact patient outcomes on TRT.
