Testosterone Replacement Therapy

At Peak Performance & Prevention, we specialize in helping individuals with sub-optimal testosterone levels regain vitality, enhance sexual function, and improve overall quality of life. Our team of experienced clinicians is dedicated to providing personalized care and utilizing evidence-based approaches to hormone therapy.

With Testosterone Replacement Therapy, we aim to address the symptoms and effects of low testosterone, such as decreased libido, fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, and mood changes. Through comprehensive evaluations, including thorough medical history assessments and hormone level testing, we develop customized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs.

Our treatment options may include testosterone injections, transdermal patches, topical creams, or subcutaneous pellets. We closely monitor your progress throughout the therapy, adjusting dosages as needed, and ensuring your safety and well-being.

In addition to TRT, we offer comprehensive hormone health services, including evaluating and treating other hormone imbalances such as thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, and estrogen/progesterone imbalances.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment that supplements testosterone levels in individuals with low testosterone. It can offer several potential benefits, including:

• Increased libido: Testosterone plays a crucial role in sexual desire and arousal. TRT can help increase libido in individuals with low testosterone levels, leading to improved sexual function and satisfaction.
• Improved erectile function: Testosterone is involved in achieving and maintaining erections. TRT can help improve erectile function, particularly in individuals with erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by low testosterone levels.
• Increased muscle mass and strength: Testosterone is an anabolic hormone contributing to muscle growth and strength. TRT can help individuals with low testosterone build lean muscle mass, improve muscle strength, and enhance physical performance.
• Increased bone density: Testosterone plays a role in maintaining bone health and density. TRT can help prevent or slow down the loss of bone mass, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
• Improved mood and well-being: Testosterone impacts mood regulation and overall well-being. TRT can alleviate symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, low energy levels, irritability, and depression, leading to improved mood and quality of life.
• Improved cardiovascular health:
  • Improved Lipid Profile: TRT has been shown to improve lipid profiles by reducing levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (often referred to as "bad" cholesterol) via LDL-p, and triglycerides while increasing levels of HDL cholesterol (often referred to as "good" cholesterol). This can contribute to better cardiovascular health and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Improved Insulin Sensitivity: TRT has been associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity, which is the body's ability to use insulin to regulate blood sugar levels efficiently. By improving insulin sensitivity, TRT may help lower the risk of developing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, all risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
  • Reduction in Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is believed to play a role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Some studies have suggested that TRT may have anti-inflammatory effects, potentially reducing markers of inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health.
  • Positive Effects on Vascular Function: Testosterone has been shown to have vasodilatory effects, meaning it can widen blood vessels and improve blood flow. This can have a positive impact on cardiovascular health by reducing vascular resistance and enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
