Importance of Testosterone

We understand how debilitating low levels of testosterone can be. From decreased energy and libido to stubborn weight gain and problematic changes in our mental drive, Low testosterone can make the aging process a challenging one. Understanding the role the hormone plays in our body and what optimal levels can do to enhance our quality of life is the first step in overcoming health obstacles associated with aging and low testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy is a great resource that can help patients regain stamina, increase strength, improve motivation, and reach increased levels of energy.

Synthetic vs. Bioidentical Testosterone

Let’s start by providing a distinction between synthetic and bioidentical testosterone. In many cases, injected or absorbed hormones are most effective when the shape of the molecule is identical to the molecules our bodies produce. Consider hormone replacement therapy as getting a spare key to unlock a process that helps carry out a specific function. The process of unlocking is more effective with a perfectly matching key. Bioidentical hormones act as that matching key, having the same shape as the hormone molecules that our bodies naturally produce. In other words, bioidentical hormones are hormones that are identical to those found in our bodies.

Synthetic hormones—despite being made from a biological organism, as they are in many cases—are unnatural to our bodies. Unlike bioidentical testosterone, the synthetic version looks a lot different when compared to the hormones we naturally produce. For this reason, the use of bioidentical hormones is recommended as a safer, more effective option when undergoing testosterone replacement therapy.

Who Benefits from Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Individuals suffering from low testosterone due to aging or hypogonadism are great candidates that could potentially benefit from treatment. If you are suffering from any of the following conditions, testosterone replacement therapy can make a great positive difference in your life:

• Hypogonadism
• Fatigue and low energy levels
• Significant decreases in libido
• Increased body fat brought on by testosterone changes
• Decreased muscle mass from low testosterone
• Hot flashes

Upon visiting our clinic, patients will be thoroughly evaluated to assure that testosterone replacement therapy is a safe, pragmatic treatment option that can play a role in alleviating or improving any of the conditions mentioned above as well as any others related to low testosterone.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Men

The aging process brings about numerous changes to our bodies and shifts in hormone levels are no exception. Testosterone levels in men typically reach their peak during adolescence and early adulthood, declining at a constant rate from that point on. After the age of 40, the level of testosterone declines at a rate of 1 percent per year. This is true for the majority of men, give or take a few years. For some men, this rate is magnified by hypogonadism, a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone.

These low levels of testosterone can be addressed with testosterone replacement therapy. The testosterone shots can replenish the depleted hormone levels and lead to a number of benefits, including:

• Increased energy
• Better strength
• More lean muscle mass
• Decreased abdominal fat
• Improved libido
• Fewer instances of ED
• Lower blood pressure and protect against heart attack and stroke
• Enhanced mood
• Protection against dementia
• Protection against diabetes

Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Women

Though generally thought of as a male hormone, testosterone is also produced by women in their ovaries and adrenal glands. Like men, the levels of the hormone peak in early adulthood, and decline thereafter. In other words, women see their highest levels of testosterone in their twenties, with levels steadily decreasing as they age. More and more evidence today tells us that appropriate levels of testosterone are necessary for the health and well-being of women, especially as it pertains to staying fit, lean, and having a healthy level of libido. Testosterone replacement therapy for women can bring about numerous advantages, including:

• Improved bone density
• Enhanced mood
• Increased libido
• Improved muscle strength and muscle mass
• Protection against cardiovascular disease
• Maintained healthy body composition
