Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment used to raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal healthy ranges. As men age, their natural testosterone production tends to decline leading to a condition called hypogonadism or "low T". Signs and symptoms of low T may include:
TRT can help alleviate these issues by restoring testosterone levels allowing men to regain energy, strength, libido and overall vitality.
Men experiencing bothersome symptoms of low T along with a confirmed diagnosis of hypogonadism through lab testing are candidates for TRT. It is especially helpful for men over age 40.
TRT should only be prescribed after ruling out other potential medical causes for symptoms. A full medical evaluation and lab panel looking at total testosterone, free testosterone and other hormone levels provides important diagnostic information.
When properly implemented and monitored, TRT offers several benefits including:
There are several delivery methods used in TRT:

The process for starting TRT involves:
The goal is balancing testosterone levels along with overall health for the long term. Our clinic focuses on working closely with patients to provide fully individualized treatment resulting in the best possible outcomes.
Many men suffering from low testosterone do not recognize they have a medical condition requiring treatment. They may incorrectly attribute their symptoms solely to normal aging.
However, hypogonadism left untreated over the long term poses risks including:
Screening for low testosterone is crucial - especially among older men or those with chronic health issues. If clinical symptoms and blood tests indicate below normal testosterone, seeking treatment through a certified men's health clinic can help alleviate symptoms and reduce long term health implications.

What leads to low testosterone (hypogonadism)?
Testosterone production is regulated by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and testes. When any of these systems malfunctions, testosterone levels can drop. Contributing factors include:
Lifestyle factors including diet, activity level, sleep patterns and stress influence testosterone status. Identifying and addressing root causes through specialized testing facilitates prompt treatment to reverse deficiency.
Accurately diagnosing hypogonadism requires specific blood tests assessing:
These are the primary hormones directly impacted by reduced testicular function. Total testosterone refers to overall levels while free testosterone represents the amount readily available to tissues.
Initial testing establishes a baseline to interpret symptoms. Follow up blood work during treatment allows accurately customizing dosing to meet an individual's needs while minimizing side effects. We provide comprehensive lab services and analysis to inform precise therapeutic interventions.
While TRT serves as the foundation for alleviating hypogonadism, optimizing nutrition, activity levels, stress reduction and sleep quality facilitates maximum benefits. We educate patients on lifestyle tactics amplifying treatment including:
Diets high in processed foods, sugar and refined grains generate inflammation hindering treatment. We recommend diets emphasizing vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, fiber and healthy fats to reduce oxidative stress and aid hormone biosynthesis.
Resistance training boosts muscle retention, body composition and mental health during TRT. Aerobic activity enhances cardiovascular function. We provide fitness guidance aligned to patient capabilities and interests.
Unmanaged emotional stress elevates cortisol disrupting testosterone therapy. Relaxation practices like meditation, yoga, music and time in nature counteract cortisol's effects.
Testosterone production occurs predominantly during sleep. Prioritizing 7-9 hours nightly and addressing sleep disorders like apnea optimizes treatment.
TRT effectiveness is amplified through nutrition, movement, stress relief and rest - the foundations of vitality we educate patients to integrate.
