Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. As men age, their bodies produce less testosterone, leading to signs and symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, poor concentration, low libido, and erectile dysfunction. This condition is known as hypogonadism or low testosterone (low T).
Timely treatment is crucial because prolonged testosterone deficiency can increase risks for other medical issues like osteoporosis, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. The good news is that safe, effective testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is available. With proper diagnosis and management from a qualified medical team, most men find TRT life-changing.
The first step is getting tested. At our male testosterone clinic, we provide comprehensive lab testing and medical exams to accurately diagnose low T. Key lab tests check total testosterone, free testosterone, and other hormone levels. We also assess clinical signs and symptoms.
Based on results and exam, our physicians determine if TRT is appropriate for you.
Testosterone therapy offers a broad range of benefits when properly managed:
Many men feel like their “old selves” again with improved energy, mental clarity, initiative, and zest for life.
Testosterone builds lean muscle mass while reducing fat, helping achieve a fit, healthy body composition.
By elevating neurotransmitters like serotonin, TRT can greatly improve mood, sense of well-being, and cognition.
Many men experience restored libido, more reliable erections, and better orgasms. TRT improves intimacy for men and their partners.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) involves taking medications or getting injections to raise testosterone levels. It is used to treat low testosterone, which can cause symptoms like low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and mood changes. TRT can restore testosterone to normal levels, improving these treatment usually involves testosterone injections, gels, patches, or pellets implanted under the skin. Your doctor will check your blood levels regularly and adjust the dosage as needed to keep you in the normal range. Most men start feeling better within a few weeks of starting therapy.
TRT is primarily for men over 30 with low testosterone. Symptoms include low libido, erectile dysfunction, less energy, depressed mood, poor concentration, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, fatigue, or "brain fog." Blood tests are needed to confirm low may also help some men over 60 combat age-related testosterone decline. However, treatment is usually only for bothersome symptoms confirmed by blood tests.
When used properly under a doctor’s care, testosterone therapy can help relieve frustrating symptoms of low T. Benefits may include improved energy and mood, increased muscle mass and bone density, better erectile function and sex drive, and a greater overall sense of men report feeling 10-15 years younger after starting TRT. It can quite literally give you your mojo back!
Like any medication, testosterone therapy has potential side effects. These may include acne, breast enlargement, prostate issues (requiring regular screening), sleep apnea worsening, testicle shrinkage and infertility. Elevated red blood cell count requiring blood donation is also said, risks are low when testosterone therapy is properly administered and monitored. We carefully manage patients on TRT to maximize benefits and safety.
Costs vary depending on specific medications or injections prescribed. Initial blood testing also adds to the total. That said, testosterone itself is an inexpensive medication to insurance plans cover treatment for clinically diagnosed low testosterone. We work with patients to make therapy affordable where possible through insurance claims, manufacturer rebates, or discounted prices.
