Testosterone Therapy and Replacement FOR MEN
As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline, leading to various symptoms that can affect quality of life. Fortunately, TRT provides a solution that is accessible and effective. By supplementing your body's natural testosterone, you can mitigate the effects of aging and enhance your overall well-being.
Lower testosterone impacts every man as they age, but now there’s a solution.
As we age, our testosterone levels slowly decline. You may not notice it right away, but the symptoms get more severe over time. You’ll notice things like a decreased sex drive, mental fog, muscle loss and difficulty keeping the weight off. The good news is, getting testosterone therapy has never been easier. It can be life-changing.
No two men are exactly alike. Natural testosterone levels are not universal. Factors like genetics and lifestyle play a big role. You can expect to experience one or more of the following telltale signs of low testosterone as you grow older:
Low Energy
Fatigue, even with good sleep and a healthy lifestyle, becomes a persistent drag on daily life.
Weight Gain
The pounds accumulate effortlessly and become more and more difficult to shed.
Decreased Sex Drive
Low libido negatively impacts intimate relationships and can also contribute to emotional distress.
Erectile Dysfunction
Getting and maintaining a strong erection requires your body’s chemistry to fire on all cylinders.
Cognitive Decline
Brain fog, or feeling less sharp impacts our ability to live life to the fullest.
Muscle Loss
Insufficient testosterone binding with androgen receptors harms muscle fibers.

Estrogen & Testosterone: Misunderstood Partners
Healthy men have far less estrogen than females, but it still provides important benefits. Its presence positively impacts cardiological health, bone density, modulation of libido and erectile function.
A portion of testosterone is converted into estrogen through an interaction with a chemical found in fatty tissue and the brain, called aromatase. Therefore, men supplementing their testosterone levels with TRT often also experience elevated estrogen levels in their bloodwork.
Less experienced TRT providers may prematurely prescribe aromatase inhibitors to help suppress estrogen production.
Instead of simply reacting to elevated estrogen levels, the latest research makes it clear that the ratio between testosterone and estrogen provides far more context.
This is just one example where working with a TRT provider who actively instructs, attends conferences and consumes the latest research positively impacts patient results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does TRT cost?
Our patients appreciate our transparent pricing, along with valuable health insights. Testosterone Replacement Therapy starts around $169/mo, but may fluctuate based on changes to medication costs.
Do you accept insurance?
Not at this time. Our goal is to provide affordable, straightforward pricing, with easy access to the care you need. There is simply too much variability in what various insurance plans cover and the administrative costs are high. Our goal is to minimize the hassle and make TRT accessible for every man who can benefit. Therefore we do not provide additional paperwork or communicate with your insurance provider on your behalf.
How quickly can I get started?
As soon as we receive the results of your bloodwork and go over them with you, we’ll get the appropriate dosage of testosterone in the mail.
Shipping is free and normally takes just a few days to discreetly arrive at your door.
Does testosterone need to be refrigerated?
No, testosterone can be safely stored at room temperature (68°F - 77°F) in a dark space, like a medicine cabinet or nightstand drawer. This makes keeping up with your TRT protocol easy, even when you’re away from home - stored conveniently in an air conditioned vehicle or carry-on bag.
How do I take testosterone?
Your provider will go over the different options, along with their pros and cons based on your health profile. Options include subcutaneous injections, topical creams and oral troches that dissolve under the tongue to deliver the testosterone your body needs to return to and maintain a healthy range.
Why do I need a prescription for TRT?
TRT requires a prescription and regular check-ins with your medical provider to ensure appropriate dosage and healthy levels. We make this easy with an all-inclusive plan that starts with bloodwork at a local lab and a convenient online telehealth consultation. During the consultation we’ll go over what your bloodwork is telling us about your health, and set an appropriate dosage for your TRT.
