Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Over 40 percent of men over 45 years of age have low serum testosterone levels. This is treatable! Testosterone replacement is linked to higher quality of life.

Loss of testosterone related to aging, disease or medications can contribute to many concerns including:

Optimizing testosterone levels contributes to stronger well being including:

Hormones
Thyroid
Thyroid hormones affect all cells in the body, regulate temperature, metabolism and brain function. Thyroid repletion improves dry, think skin, weak nails, hair loss, hair thickness, improves cholesterol and helps protect against cardiovascular and cognitive declines. T3 is the active thyroid hormone, and T3 optimization can be part of a personalized hormone optimization plan for wellbeing.
Estrogen
Estrogen replacement after menopause improves quality of life, health and energy. Estrogen repletion supports stronger bones, halves incidence of heart disease and stroke, and helps protect against age related demential. Estrogen improves hair and skin, vaginal dryness, age related urogenital symptoms. Estrogen can help prevent many age related symptoms and disease states. Estrogen lowers total cholesterol and improves HDL levels. Bio identical or natural estrogen / estradiol use is associated with many beneficial health effects. In contrast, synthetic estrogens and progestin use is associated with increased breast cancers and cardiovascular disease and these synthetic estrogens and progestins are not recommended because of these risks.
Progesterone
As women age, progesterone levels fall, and progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone noted to be protective against uterine cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Progesterone is different from progestin. Natural progesterone works synergistically with estrogen repletion and helps with a number of symptoms including anxiety, sleep and mood. Progestin/medroxyprogesterone/Provera is a synthetic, and molecularly different type of molecule. Progestin uses responsible for increased breast cancer incidence in the famous WHI (Women’s Health Initiative) trial — and a lesser known fact related to this trial is that the estrogen only segment had decreased incidence of breast cancer, in contrast to the estrogen and progestin portion. Progesterone replacement also helps with osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diminished libido and quality of life aging related issues.
Testosterone
Testosterone levels fall in both men and women with aging. Testosterone is a ‘feel good’ hormone and improves well-being, energy, mood, strength, lipid risk profiles, lean muscle to fatty tissue ratios. Supplementing lowered testosterone levels judiciously with aging results in significant improvements with age related complaints and can be part of a thoughtful personalized preventative health program. Transdermal therapy is the safest method for testosterone replacement, and is commonly prescribed to effectively and safely treat age related complaints.
DHEA
DHEA or dehydroepiandrosterone is a hormone derived from cholesterol that is produced in the adrenal glands. DHEA is a building block for other hormones. DHEA levels also fall with aging, and DHEA repletion is associated with improved health, immune function, insulin sensitivity, brain function and cancer prevention
Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, which regulates sleep. Melatonin has a role in circadian rhythms, sleep, mood, fertility, and is an antioxidant. In addition, melatonin can be beneficial for blood pressure and help decrease incidence of migraines.
