Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men

When testosterone is low in men, their bodies tend to become estrogen dominant, leading to a host of symptoms such as:

  • Difficulty building and maintaining muscle.
  • Less energy for exercise and physical activity.
  • Extended recovery time after exercising.
  • Rapid weight gain often due to a slowing metabolism.
  • Depression and anxiety.
  • Moodiness.
  • Brain fog.
  • Fatigue.
  • Sugar and carbohydrates cravings.
  • Urinary problems.
  • Low libido (sex drive).
  • Erectile dysfunction.
  • Infertility.
  • Enlarged prostate.
  • Sleep problems.
  • Increased risk of stroke.
  • Adult-onset diabetes.
  • Development of osteoporosis.
  • Thyroid dysfunction.

Causes of Low Testosterone in Men

Testosterone production gradually declines as men age and typically begins about age 40. This decline averages about 1% per year so that by age 70 production is at about 70% of what it was before the decline. When not enough testosterone is produced in the male body, it is usually termed hypogonadism. It is important to note that hypogonadism involves consistently low testosterone concentrations.

Considering the intricacy involved in testosterone production, it is no wonder that there may be several causes for low testosterone in men. These might include:

  • Over-consumption of sugar and processed foods.
  • Food allergies.
  • Nutritional deficiencies.
  • Heavy metal toxicity.

Our Approach to TRT for Men

We prefer to use bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men, which is natural, effective, and can be specifically dosed to the individual. Bioidentical hormones regulate hormones better and are more readily used by the body because they are naturally derived from plant estrogens. They may pose less of a chance of long-term health risks and have fewer side effects due to the lack of chemicals, additives, and synthetics.

Customized TRT Treatment Plans

Your TRT treatment plan may consist of the following:

  • Testosterone (TRT) supplementation.
  • Nutritional supplements to reverse any nutritional deficiencies you might have.
  • Suggestions for lifestyle changes that will reduce stress and improve the health of the body through exercise and other means.
  • Dietary recommendations.
  • Recommendations for addressing any other underlying factors.

Safety & Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Testosterone replacement therapy should be done under the supervision of a competent healthcare professional. While there are benefits to hormone replacement therapy, there can also be drawbacks, especially if TRT levels are raised and maintained at unsafe levels. Our natural health doctors will make sure you are getting the treatment that is right for you and the correct amount and type of hormones if they are necessary.
