TRT, or testosterone replacement therapy, is a therapeutic approach designed to enhance testosterone levels and mitigate the symptoms associated with low testosterone.
The presence of low testosterone has a significant effect on a man’s overall health, their aging process and leads to andropause: decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, insomnia, and poor concentration (mental fog).
The best way to determine if you have low testosterone is to have your levels checked through blood work; however, every person is unique and testosterone levels are only part of their story.
Low Sex Drive
Difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection
Lack of mental clarity and focus or concentration
Increased fatigue and low energy levels
Increased fat and loss of muscle mass
Depressed mood
Testosterone is a sex hormone that plays important roles in both men and women. In men, it regulates sex drive (libido), bone density, fat distribution, muscle mass, strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm. In women, it regulates libido, bone density, muscle mass, cognitive function, mood and energy.

We will come to you and draw your blood or we will send you to the nearest LabCorp. We typically get the results back within 48 hours and we can use prior bloodwork if it is less than 3 months old.
The normal range of testosterone for men is 280 – 1100 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl)
As with any medical treatment, there are potential side effects associated with TRT. Some of the most common side effects include:
You must be 18 or older to receive treatment. However, TRT isn’t appropriate for everyone. We will discuss your symptoms and review your medical history, as well as review bloodwork, to determine if you are a candidate for TRT
All medications and injection supplies will be shipped to your home.
The FDA has approved multiple delivery methods for administering TRT, which include:
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages but we recommend weekly injections for the proven clinical effectiveness and convenience.
All treatment options will be discussed during your consultation.
Individual results will vary, but most people start feeling the effects of TRT in 3-4 weeks.
We provide unlimited follow ups as part of our treatment plans. Call or text to schedule a follow up and you will be contacted within 24 hours.
TRT is not a cure for low testosterone. Your testosterone levels will go back to pretreatment levels and your symptoms will return if you stop TRT. However, long term treatment is sustainable and safe with close monitoring and routine bloodwork from your healthcare provider.
Every patient starts with a complimentary phone consultation. However, we require blood work prior to starting TRT and we will come to you and draw blood or you can go to any LabCorp. We can use your previous blood work if it was collected within 6 months and shows a full hormone panel.
