Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has become an increasingly popular option for men looking to regain energy, strength, mental sharpness and an overall sense of well-being. As the premier men's testosterone clinic in Burleson, Optimal Hormone Wellness Center offers cutting-edge testosterone treatments to help men get back to feeling their best.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and many men begin experiencing symptoms of low testosterone after age 30. Some common signs of low T include:
If multiple low testosterone symptoms are present, a simple testosterone blood test can determine if levels are abnormally low. While no definitive threshold exists for "low T," most physicians consider total testosterone levels below 300-350 ng/dL to be deficient in adult males.
Free testosterone and other related hormones should also be evaluated for a comprehensive assessment.
If blood tests confirm clinically low testosterone, timely treatment is recommended. Untreated testosterone deficiency can negatively impact energy, physique, sexual health, emotional well-being and quality of life. It may also increase risk for various chronic diseases.
The experienced medical providers at Optimal Hormone Wellness Center make an accurate diagnosis and create customized treatment plans to return testosterone levels to an optimal range based on the patient's unique health profile.
The goal of TRT is not to maximize testosterone levels, but rather to restore balance within the hormonal environment. When properly implemented, testosterone therapy may provide benefits such as:
Many men notice improved energy levels, reduced fatigue and greater productivity soon after beginning testosterone therapy. This treatment can enhance mitochondrial function and ATP energy production.
Testosterone plays key roles in protein synthesis and development of lean muscle mass. Treatment can aid efforts in the gym, support athletic performance, and make it easier to maintain a strong, fit physique.
Research shows testosterone influences regions of the brain vital for focus and concentration. Many men report improved mental clarity, quicker thinking and ability to focus after normalizing testosterone levels.
Deficient testosterone levels are associated with depression and irritability in men. By optimizing testosterone balance, many men feel less stress, greater motivation and improved outlook on life.
Testosterone is essential for male sexual health across the lifespan. Restored testosterone levels can reignite sex drive and passion, enable reliable erections, enhance sensation, and boost satisfaction in the bedroom.
The providers at Optimal Hormone Wellness Center have extensive training and expertise in a variety of testosterone delivery methods. The ideal protocol depends on the patient's unique needs, preferences, sensitivities, schedule and budget. We thoughtfully consider all factors to create fully customized plans.
Common TRT protocols we offer include:
Testosterone injections deliver the hormone directly into the body via intramuscular injection. This allows for precise dosage adjustments and stable testosterone levels between doses. Injections are generally administered once weekly or every 12 days.
Testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormone preparations concentrated into tiny inserts that are placed under the skin. The pellets dissolve slowly to provide steady testosterone release for 3-6 months before requiring replacement.
Topical gels provide daily testosterone absorption directly through the skin. Gels must be correctly applied to avoid transference. Creams may suit men with sensitive skin.
While not as common as other methods, oral testosterone capsules provide ease of administration. However, doses may need to be taken multiple times throughout the day.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) therapy stimulates natural testosterone production and helps maintain testicular function. HCG is often used with TRT protocols to preserve or restore fertility.
The medical team at Optimal Hormone Wellness Center determines the optimal protocol based on extensive lab testing, medical history and patient preferences. Follow-up blood work and symptom assessments ensure treatment effectiveness. Adjustments are made until the patient feels their best possible on therapy.
While testosterone replacement aims to correct hormone deficiencies, certain lifestyle measures can also optimize a treatment plan:
Aim for 7-9 hours nightly. Testosterone production peaks during REM sleep. Lack of sleep negatively impacts hormones.
Emphasize healthy fats, high-quality proteins, fibrous carbs and micronutrient-rich vegetables and fruits. Support detox pathways.
Engage muscles with strength training. Do HIIT workouts. Walk daily. Yoga and leisurely movement also beneficial.
Cortisol opposes testosterone. Mitigate work pressures, financial concerns and relationship stressors. Make time for relaxation.
Heavy alcohol consumption and chronic liver issues drive down testosterone. Moderate consumption may be fine for some.
As experts in the unique health needs of men, our goal is to provide exceptional care from diagnosis through treatment to optimize wellbeing on therapy. We also offer guidance on diet, exercise, stress management and preventative health. Our comprehensive approach aims to help patients look, feel and perform their best.
Testosterone treatment has been shown in studies to improve cognitive function in healthy older men with low testosterone levels, including enhancements in verbal memory and increased functional connectivity in brain regions involved in executive function. However, more research is still needed on the long-term impact of testosterone therapy on brain health.
