What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment that helps raise low testosterone levels in men back to normal. As men age, their bodies often produce less testosterone, leading to unpleasant symptoms.

TRT can involve testosterone injections, gels, patches, and other delivery methods to restore testosterone levels. When done properly under doctor supervision, TRT offers life-changing benefits.

Why Get Testosterone Levels Checked

It's important for men to get their testosterone levels checked by age 30-35. High or low testosterone can cause issues like:

  • Low sex drive
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Fatigue/low energy
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Increased body fat
  • Poor concentration
  • Depression

Testing helps identify a testosterone deficiency early so treatment can begin.

Diagnosing Low Testosterone

Recognizing the signs of low testosterone is the first step. Accurately diagnosing it involves:

Getting Tested

A simple blood test can check total and free testosterone levels. Testing in the early morning provides the most accurate baselines. Men should get tested if they have:

  • Multiple symptoms of low testosterone
  • Have struggled to conceive a child
  • Use medications that impact testosterone

Testing should involve more than a single test for accuracy.

Evaluation of Lifestyle Factors

Lifestyle factors that lower testosterone should also be evaluated:

  • Obesity
  • Lack of exercise
  • Poor sleep
  • High stress
  • Smoking/alcohol use

Modifying lifestyle habits can help optimize natural testosterone production.

Reviewing Health Conditions

Some health conditions are associated with lowered testosterone. These include:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • AIDS/HIV
  • Chronic liver or kidney disease
  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Obesity
  • Chemotherapy/radiation treatment

Getting these underlying conditions under control can support healthy testosterone levels.

Lifestyle Recommendations for Better Results

While TRT alleviates symptoms of low testosterone, lifestyle adjustments better support treatment:

Exercise helps the body process hormones. Aim for muscle-building and cardio exercise 4-5 times a week.

Sleep optimizes natural testosterone production. Stick to a regular sleep-wake schedule and aim for 7-9 hours nightly.

Healthy fats provide building blocks for hormones. Incorporate more avocados, nuts, and olive oil.

Stress management prevents hormone disruption. Try yoga, meditation, and deep breathing.

Making patient health a priority through testing, treatment, and lifestyle underlies Equilibrium Hormone Center's exceptional service.
