As men age, declining testosterone levels can lead to undesirable symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, and emotional changes. However, through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), men can restore hormone levels back to an optimal range and reclaim their vitality.
At Renew Wellness Clinic, we specialize in customized men's health optimization programs incorporating TRT and other therapies when appropriate. In this guide, we'll explain common men's health issues, the benefits TRT offers, what to expect during treatment, and why our clinic is the premier choice for those seeking an improved quality of life.
Low testosterone, also called hypogonadism, can develop gradually with age or be caused by certain medical conditions. Symptoms may include:
If multiple low T symptoms are present, lab testing can determine if testosterone therapy is recommended.
Correcting testosterone deficiency can lead to impressive improvements like:
Testosterone therapy is meant for men demonstrating both symptoms of low testosterone as well as a confirmed testosterone deficiency through laboratory testing. Good candidates include men who:
TRT is not recommended for men planning to conceive since it can impair sperm production. Those diagnosed with or suspected of having prostate cancer should also avoid testosterone therapy until cleared by an oncologist.
Since symptoms alone aren't enough to confirm low testosterone, proper lab testing is key. At Renew Wellness Clinic, testing includes:
Testing is typically done in the early morning when levels are highest. If total testosterone is under 300 ng/dL or free testosterone under 50 pg/mL, TRT may be appropriate after confirming diagnosis. Compare your lab ranges to norms with this handy table:
| Lab Value | Normal Range |
|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | 350 - 1000 ng/dL |
| Free Testosterone | 35 - 155 pg/mL |

If deficient, we'll conduct more extensive testing to uncover any underlying conditions and closely monitor progress on TRT with bloodwork every 3 months.

1. Choose Route of Administration
Testosterone is available in multiple forms including:
Each option has pros and cons we'll help you weigh to pick your optimal delivery method.
2. Follow the Initial Ramp-Up Protocol
When first starting treatment, testosterone levels are gradually increased to avoid excess aromatization into estrogen and allow your endocrine system to adjust. We'll closely track your progress with labs.
3. Notice Improvements in Symptoms
Most men notice major improvements in energy, sexual function, body composition, mood, motivation, and inner drive within 1-2 months. Positive benefits continue accumulating over the first year on therapy.
4. Maintain Steady-State Protocol
Once testosterone levels normalize, a maintenance protocol holds levels constant through your chosen delivery method and regular bloodwork to ensure ideal hormone balance.
5. Make Lifestyle Adjustments to Maximize Impact
TRT works best alongside health-promoting lifestyle adjustments like:
We offer detailed fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle recommendations to help you actualize TRT's full benefits.
Since testosterone powers so many vital body and brain functions in men, testosterone deficiency should be treated promptly once properly diagnosed through lab testing.
Reasons timely treatment is essential include:
1. Avoiding Long-Term Complications
The risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and fracture grows dramatically without sufficient testosterone. Therapeutic levels protect against these complications.
2. Reducing Morbidity and Mortality
Studies reveal men suffering from low testosterone have higher all-cause mortality rates compared to both the general population and testosterone-treated cohorts followed long-term.
3. Restoring Joie de Vivre
In one landmark study, over 75% of men on TRT said therapy rescued their joy and zest for life as energy returned and depression lifted.
4. Reigniting Sexuality and Intimacy
Restored libido and virility from normalized testosterone can rekindle intimacy and passion in relationships strained by low T's effects.
5. Seizing Peak Physical Strength
Athletic performance hinges on sufficient testosterone to build lean mass and power intense workouts. Correcting deficiency transforms fitness.
In summary, through prompt and careful treatment of low T, men can reduce disease risks, extend lifespan, elevate mood, refuel sex drive, and achieve peak fitness.
Despite proven benefits, testosterone therapy is still shrouded by misconceptions. We highlight the top myths and corresponding realities here:
| Myth | Reality |
|---|---|
| TRT causes prostate cancer | No evidence shows TRT promotes cancer in healthy men monitored by a physician |
| TRT causes heart disease | Controlled studies reveal TRT improves heart disease risk markers |
| High testosterone causes aggression | No correlation exists between elevated testosterone and angry behaviors |
| TRT will shrink testicles | While testes may mildly shrink on therapy, it doesn't affect health or sexual function |
