Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Restoring testosterone to youthful ranges can increase insulin sensitivity, reduce fat mass, and improve functional capacity.
The Importance of Testosterone
Testosterone plays a critical role in maintaining youthful neurological structure, alleviating depression, as well as inducing fat loss in those who are unable to reduce body weight regardless of diet and exercise.
Recent studies have demonstrated that low testosterone in men is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and an almost 50% increase in mortality over a seven year period.
What is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone, a molecular messenger that travels through your bloodstream to act on many organs and tissues in your body, including your brain, muscles, fat, bones and sexual organs.

Effects on the body
Hover over (or tap) the cards below to see how Testosterone affects different parts of your body.
The Brain
The Brain
Your thinking abilities and general sense of well-being, including your mood, energy level and sense of vitality, and sexual drive or libido are all affected by testosterone.
Muscle
Muscle Mass
Testosterone creates muscle cells and causes them to grow in size and strength.
Fat
Fat Reduction
Testosterone has been shown to reduce body fat, particularly in the midsection and chest. The result is an improvement in lean body mass.
Bones
Bone Density
Testosterone helps prevent the normal bone destruction of aging and actually improves bone density. This reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
The Heart
Cardiovascular
It may help open the coronary arteries, and possibly improve cardiac function. It influences risk factors indirectly through its effect on body fat.
Sex Drive
Libido
Low testosterone can reduce your ability to have satisfying sex. Lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction can result from low T.

Factors That Affect Testosterone Levels
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
DHEA is produced from cholesterol and converts to estrogens or testosterone. DHEA levels play a role in determining T-levels, though DHEA alone is usually not enough to restore levels in aging men.
Liver Function
The liver removes excess estrogen and SHBG. A decrease in liver function could exacerbate hormonal imbalances. Aging men must strive for optimal liver function.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Only "free" testosterone (unbound to SHBG or Albumin) is bioavailable. Aging men experience an increase in SHBG production, which decreases the amount of bioavailable testosterone.
Obesity & The Hypogonadal Cycle
Obesity suppresses Luteinizing Hormone (LH). This creates a vicious cycle: Low T results in abdominal fat → Abdominal fat increases aromatase activity → Aromatase converts T to Estrogen → T levels drop further.
Aromatase
Aromatase is the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. High aromatase levels deplete free testosterone and increase estrogen.
Treatment Methods
Intramuscular Injections
Testosterone Cypionate is given by injection once every 7 to 14 days. Dosing is dependent on your age, testing results, and symptoms.
The injections we prescribe are only manufactured by FDA-Approved manufacturers. Injections are given in our clinics or you can self-inject at home.
Transdermal Application
Testosterone is applied to the skin using a gel or cream on a daily basis.
The concentration of testosterone in the blood goes up within a few doses. This is a non-invasive daily alternative to injections.
