Testosterone is a natural hormone responsible for the normal growth and development of certain male organs and for maintenance of other masculine traits. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a unique type of hormone replacement therapy designed to restore healthy testosterone levels in someone who suffers from low T.

Now that we answered the “what is TRT” question, you’re probably curious how TRT works. In short, TRT works by giving your body the testosterone it needs to function properly. Testosterone is the primary androgen in males (and females) and has an impact on many biological processes that are necessary for health and longevity.

For example, low T is associated with an increased risk of type-2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and a myriad of other debilitating health conditions.Having low T also makes it significantly harder to build (and retain) muscle mass, since testosterone is a potent anabolic hormone and directly impacts muscle protein synthesis.

Intuitively, if your body doesn’t produce enough testosterone on its own, your health will start to suffer until you fix the issue. Thus, TRT works by bringing your body back to a healthy range for testosterone, which then slowly begins to reverse the symptoms of low T.Once a steady baseline dose of testosterone has been established on TRT, most men notice an improvement in their energy levels, vitality, and quality of life.

An intensive blood work panel will determine if you are suffering from low T, but commonly experienced symptoms may include constant exhaustion, depression, metabolic and weight loss issues, loss of muscle mass, belly fat, sexual dysfunctions, loss of libido, brain fog and sleeping issues.

3. Treatment Options Your personalized meds will ship directly to your door every 3 months through one of our licensed partner pharmacies, so you can focus on feeling your best while we handle the rest.
4. Quarterly Follow ups You will be required to conduct blood work every 3 months during the first year of the treatment, and every 6 months thereafter.
