LOW T/TESTOSTERONE DEFICIENCY
Low Testosterone is a condition that results when one’s testicles fail to produce enough testosterone and levels fall below the medically acceptable blood level of 300 ng/dL.
Men begin to experience a gradual decrease in Testosterone starting in their mid-30’s. This decline continues at approximately 1% each year. Research studies show that 1 in 4 men over the age of 30 may have low testosterone levels.
The rate at which this decline occurs can vary among men. It is important to note that things such as obesity, illness, systemic stress, and medications can influence this decline as well.
SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE MAY BE:
- Fatigue/low energy
- Brain fog/poor concentration
- Reduced drive/motivation
- Decreased libido/sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction/less morning erections
- Depression/anxiety
- Decreased muscle mass/increased body fat
- Decreased bone density
- Weight gain/inability to lose weight
TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescribed to men who have clinical evidence of testosterone deficiency and experience symptoms from low levels.
Testosterone replacement will benefit a man with clinical deficiency by providing protection against cardiovascular disease, improvement in bone density, libido, and sexual performance.
Our approach toward TRT is to improve testosterone levels by using an individualized protocol after careful evaluation with the goal of alleviating symptoms and improving one’s quality of life.
Clients will be 30 years of age or older unless there is documented clinical evidence of hormonal deficiency.
COMMON BENEFITS OF TRT (TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY):
- Improved mood
- Improved cognitive function
- Increased muscle mass/decreased body fat
- Improved libido
- Improved erectile function
- Increased energy
- Improved sleep
- Improved strength and bone density
- Improved red blood cell production
