How we can help you with your testosterone levels

At the age of 30, testosterone levels naturally start to decline in both men and women. Testosterone replacement can help improve energy, libido, weight, bone density, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

In men, when testosterone levels decline toward <400, lack of libido occurs, when levels are <350, obesity emerges, and <230, erectile dysfunction is seen.

How our process works

Testosterone is a controlled substance and requires periodic monitoring. At your doctor’s visit, screening questions, labs and imaging will require prior to initiating therapy. Not every patient is a candidate for replacement therapy.

Those who are NOT candidates include patients with cancer (any kind), untreated sleep apnea, blood disorders, heart disease, desire for fertility, and more. 

There are many types of hormone replacement therapy options including creams, capsules, troches, patches, injections, and pellet therapy.

You will work with your doctor to help determine which one is right for you. We require that you have lab work minimally two times per year to help your doctor analyze your lab results and to make decisions about therapy dose and duration.
