Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a key role in men's health and vitality. Over time, testosterone levels naturally decline with age – a condition known as low T or hypogonadism. Low testosterone can cause undesirable symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, poor concentration, low libido, and erectile dysfunction.
Thankfully, Renew Hormone Institute provides cutting edge testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to help men in the DeKalb area restore healthy testosterone levels and enjoyment of life. When caught early, low T is highly treatable through TRT methods like injections, gels and pellets under close medical supervision. Renew Hormone Institute has significant expertise in TRT protocols tailored to your unique health profile.
If you're experiencing potential low T symptoms, timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing long term issues with weight, heart disease, diabetes and bone strength. Read below on the details of TRT therapy or contact Renew Hormone Institute today for a comprehensive hormone panel and evaluation.
The first step is getting the right testosterone blood work and exams to accurately diagnose low T. Standard lab reference ranges can be misleading, as optimal testosterone levels for vitality and wellness are often higher.
Renew Hormone Institute specializes in advanced hormone tests like total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, DHEA and more to uncover subtle deficiencies affecting health. Diagnostic accuracy is also enhanced through medical history reviews, symptom assessments, and physical exams checking for related issues like obesity, hypertension or prostate abnormalities.
Customized testing and analysis from our experienced doctors who treat low testosterone ensures proper low T diagnosis without over or under prescription of TRT therapies. Contact Renew Hormone Institute today to schedule advanced hormone blood work and diagnostic evaluations.
If tests reveal clinically low testosterone, TRT under medical guidance can provide remarkable benefits including:
The large majority of men report substantial improvements across these areas in as little as 3-6 weeks after starting therapy. Results continue to accumulate over the long term, with maximal benefits typically achieved around year one.
Once diagnosed, Renew Hormone Institute physicians craft a customized TRT protocol based on your needs, preferences and tolerances.
Testosterone injections are extremely effective, avoiding digestive absorption issues while providing stable hormone levels. Injections are done weekly or biweekly, and teach patients self-injection methods where preferred.
Testosterone gels provide daily topical dosing. Gels are easily self-administered at home, with regular doctor visits to assess progress. This offers greater flexibility at the cost of slight variability in hormone levels.
Lastly, testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormones embedded into small implants placed under the skin every 4 to 6 months, avoiding frequent dosing. Pellets provide highly stable testosterone levels but require minor surgical implant procedures.
Monitoring and follow up care are critical, checking early progress, adjusting doses, and tracking bloodwork every 3 months or so. This ensures therapy remains optimized, safe and personalized over the long run. Contact Renew Hormone Institute to explore which TRT method may be most appropriate.
Testosterone therapy has been shown to improve verbal memory and spatial abilities in older men with low testosterone levels. This cognitive benefit was unexpected since testosterone was previously mainly associated with physical changes. Enhancing thinking skills and sharpness alongside muscle and energy represents an appealing dual advantage of hormone therapy for some men.
TRT therapy works best alongside positive lifestyle adjustments like these:
Nutrition: Eat more healthy fats, high quality proteins, fresh produce; moderate sugar/alcohol; supplement vitamin D/zinc
Exercise: Incorporate weight training & interval cardio 4-5 days/week
Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours per night for hormone restoration
Stress Management: Practice meditation, yoga, social engagement each week
Making such sustainably lifestyle changes magnifies the substantial benefits of TRT. Our doctors and nurses can provide in-depth counsel on tailoring diet, activity, sleep and stress management to your needs.
