Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is suitable for men whose blood tests confirm a testosterone deficiency. Symptoms include:
Men over age 30 are most likely to develop low T, although it can start in the late 20s in some men. Contributing factors may include chronic conditions, obesity, stress, lack of sleep and exercise, and history of anabolic steroid use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about starting testosterone therapy:
Yes, testosterone therapy is safe and effective when properly prescribed and monitored by an experienced hormone specialist. We carefully screen patients and tailor dosage to optimal levels.
Most men tolerate treatment well. Mild fluid retention that subsides within weeks is the most common initial side effect. We monitor for potential concerns like prostate issues or cardiovascular risk factors.
Most men feel some effects like better energy and libido within 1-2 weeks. Maximum benefits take 2-3 months as levels build up and stabilize in your system.
Testosterone therapy is meant for long-term usage, as your body can no longer produce sufficient testosterone on its own. Most men remain on therapy for life with monitoring.
Testosterone therapy can impair sperm production and fertility. Let us know if you wish to have children; we can provide fertility-preserving options.
You'll need lab testing before starting, at one month, and then every 3-6 months to ensure your protocol remains optimized. Testing is quick and convenient at our onsite lab.
