Our doctors typically recommend taking an anti-estrogen once or twice per week to prevent side effects. Initially, if your estrogen levels are not high, you may choose to forgo it. However, if follow-up tests show elevated estrogen levels, it becomes mandatory until levels are controlled. High estradiol levels in men can lead to prostate gland proliferation, prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate), and increased risk of myocardial infarction, causing urination difficulties, especially as men age. Regular monitoring and consultations with our medical team are essential to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
Yes, we do offer HCG. Human Chorionic Gonadatropin (HCG) is very important to take during a Testosterone program and especially in coming off. There was a reclassification of the product to a biologic drug so a lot of people were unable to get it as not many compounding pharmacies have the biologic license to compound it. Because of this we use brand name only which will be Pregnyl (HCG).
You’ll notice improvements in well-being, mood, energy, and libido within the first 2 weeks of starting TRT. Anabolic benefits like increased strength and muscle mass typically appear after 4 weeks. Stick to your treatment plan and attend regular consultations for the best results.
TRT can be administered through injections, patches, gels, pellets, or oral tablets. The choice of treatment depends on individual needs and preferences. Most men prefer the injectable form as it is the most convenient and controllable route, typically administered once or twice per week. Creams, which need to be applied daily, are a great option for travel due to their ease of use. Our medical team will work with you to determine the best form of TRT based on your lifestyle and health needs.
When monitored by a healthcare professional, TRT is generally safe. However, it may have potential risks and side effects, such as acne, fluid retention, sleep apnea, hair loss , testicular atrophy and increased red blood cell count. As long as you do the recommended protocol the doctor recommends you'll get all the benefits without any of the unwanted side effects.
We also prescribe an anti estrogen to prevent the estrogenic side effect of nipple sensitivity, moodiness , Irritability. and water retention.
We'll also provide you with a phlebotomy script to do a blood discard or donation if needed. This will insure your Hemaglobin, Hematocrit and RBC's stay within the healthy reference range. We don't want them too high or too low as that would be detrimental as well if they get too low. Levels too low will indicate anemia and you'll have a lot of tiredness and fatigue.
Doing medicinal doses will prevent high levels of testosterone converting into DHT which is the hair loss hormone. Some patients may do a dht blocker to thicken hair and block hair loss from the TRT. We also offer other hair loss foams with hair growing and regeneration properties to it. You will also prevent acne by not doing to high of doses as DHT causes acne as well. The sleep apnea side effect happens but very rarely do we run in to that. Maybe 1 out of 1,000 patients.
Regarding the testicular atrophy, we prescribe HCG to prevent this from happening. If you have any other concerns or questions.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) involves supplementing or replacing testosterone in individuals with low levels. It can enhance mood, drive, libido, strength, body composition, sleep, and recovery.
Common symptoms include fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, mood swings, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, and diminished cognitive function.
Low testosterone can be caused by aging, certain medical conditions, hormonal disorders, obesity, stress, or medication side effects.
TRT can lead to increased muscle mass and strength when combined with regular exercise and a proper diet.
TRT may reduce sperm production and fertility. If preserving fertility is a concern, alternative treatments or strategies can be discussed with our healthcare providers to ensure the best approach for your needs.
TRT is primarily used to treat low testosterone in men. However, it may also be prescribed to women as well. Women usually do a bio identical testosterone cream daily. Women report having way more libido, strength, drive for life, recovery and it really tones them up. The idea is to replenish what you once had in your reproductive years, your prime.
Current research suggests that TRT does not increase the risk of prostate cancer in men with normal prostate health. While testosterone does not cause prostate cancer, it can fuel existing prostate cancer. It is essential to undergo regular prostate health screenings to monitor any changes. Our clinic provides comprehensive screening and monitoring services to ensure your safety and well-being throughout the treatment.
For most of our patients TRT is a lifestyle and taken year around without coming off. Studies show that optimal testosterone levels are healthier compared to lower levels. If you do not abuse testosterone you can do it long term without cycling on and off and stay healthy as can be. However, the duration of therapy depends on individual needs, goals, and the underlying cause of low testosterone. Some men who may be younger , in their 30's or 40's may want to still have babies. In these cases we'll cycle on & off with them to preserve their natural sperm production.
TRT may help alleviate symptoms of depression in individuals with low testosterone. Testosterone has been shown in studies to improve mood, sense of well being, dopamine and Testosterone also lowers the stress hormone cortisol. Most patients report things don't bother them as much on TRT and they have a much better attitude and zest for life. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
Boost your testosterone naturally by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, managing stress, and getting enough sleep. However, some individuals may still need TRT for optimal results.
Currently, our treatments aren’t covered by insurance as they’re considered elective. Many patients find insurance-covered TRT through primary physicians to be inadequate. However, you can still use our services to enhance your overall HRT benefits.
