Testosterone Replacement

At Integrative Health & Preventive Medicine we have a special interest in Men’s Health!

Men often accept decreased motivation, low energy, weight gain and decrease sex drive as a ‘normal’ process of aging. It’s not! 

Our ‘Hormone Replacement Therapy Program” is designed to promote restoration and balance of your hormones, increase energy and improve health and overall quality of life. We offer in person consultations where possible OR you can attend Virtual Clinic and not step foot in the office. 

Through scientific research we know that hormones decrease with age and can contribute to unwanted symptoms in men.

Loss of Drive: Patients that have low testosterone often report decreased ambition, low energy, low mood and decreased interest in sex. 

Fatigue: Patients with low T often report general fatigue, loss of motivation, non-restorative sleep and symptoms of depression. 

Changes in Mood: Men with low T often report changes in mood including anxiety, depression and/or report that experiencing more quick to become angey or frustrated.

Body Changes: Low T can result in decreased muscle mass and strength, increased fat and low bone density.

Sleep: Men with low T often report un-restorative, difficulty staying or falling asleep or sleeping less. 

Mental Function: Low testosterone can result in mental fog, cognitive decline and poor concentration.

Lab Values: Because low testosterone decreases overall energy and motivation we often see increases in blood sugar, increased cholesterol levels and elevated blood pressure. This is a constellation of symptoms called metabolic syndrome which can lead to Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes and cardiovascular issues. But we can help you improve your quality of life and get your health on track through hormone optimization.
