Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an effective treatment option for men suffering from low testosterone, also known as hypogonadism or low T. As men age, testosterone levels begin to decline, causing symptoms like low energy, muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, depression, and more. TRT helps restore testosterone to normal levels, alleviating these symptoms and improving overall health and wellbeing.
TRT involves administering testosterone via injections, gels, patches, or pellets. By bringing testosterone up to optimal levels, TRT offers a multitude of benefits:

TRT is primarily prescribed for men whose blood tests show low testosterone accompanied by symptoms. Good candidates for TRT include men who:
The Endocrine Society recommends TRT for men with consistent testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL. This level is generally accepted as the lower limit of the normal range.
Men between the ages of 40 and 70 are at highest risk for low T. But men of any age can be affected.
Factors that increase the risk of low testosterone include:
Blood testing is the only way to accurately diagnose low testosterone. Symptoms alone are not enough to determine if TRT is warranted because they can overlap with other conditions. Harmony Hormone Clinic offers state-of-the-art hormone testing to quickly pinpoint the problem.

TRT offers life-changing benefits for men suffering from low testosterone levels. As an aging male, you don’t have to accept ongoing fatigue, weak erections, and loss of strength as “normal.” Optimizing your testosterone with TRT can help reverse the clock and help you feel years younger.
Here are some of the most common and impactful benefits our patients experience on TRT:
One of the first things men notice when starting treatment is a pronounced boost in energy levels, drive, and zest for life. You’ll have the get-up-and-go to stay active, get work done, and engage in the hobbies you love.
Testosterone is key for building muscle. TRT helps men regain the strength and endurance lost as testosterone declines with age. Your workouts will become more productive so adding muscle is easier.
TRT shifts the body’s metabolism to burn fat, especially around the abdomen where men tend to store it. Combined with exercise, testosterone optimizes your body composition for a leaner, fitter physique.
Low testosterone often manifests as irritability, lack of motivation, and mental fogginess. By restoring testosterone, TRT improves mood, clarity of thought, and overall outlook.
Normal testosterone levels are crucial for a robust sex drive and reliable erections. Men commonly report improved libido, erection quality, stamina, and satisfaction in the bedroom after starting treatment.
Testosterone promotes strong bones by stimulating osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation. TRT can increase bone mineral density and lower fracture risk.
Studies show optimizing testosterone may reduce cardiovascular risk factors like excess visceral fat, high cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood glucose.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) was first developed in the 1930s and has been used medically ever since to treat hypogonadism. However, recent studies show TRT may also help improve mood, energy levels, and sexual function in older men with low testosterone, even if they don't meet the clinical definition of hypogonadism. This potential new use is generating interest and research into the benefits of TRT for a wider range of patients.

The TRT options we provide include:
Testosterone injections, given weekly or biweekly, are the most common TRT treatment. They provide the highest levels of testosterone. The injections are administered into the buttocks or thigh muscle using a small needle.
Different types of injectable testosterone include:
Injections allow precise dosing and are generally safe and effective if properly managed.
Testosterone gels are applied once daily to the upper arms, shoulders or abdomen. The testosterone absorbs through the skin into the bloodstream. Available gel brands are Androgel, Testim, and Fortesta.
Gels provide steady testosterone delivery and are easy to use. Skin irritation may occur.
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin every 3 to 6 months through a quick, minimally invasive procedure. The pellets dissolve slowly to release hormones. No daily application required.
Pellets provide stable long-term testosterone levels but require periodic minor surgery.
There are also oral testosterone capsules (Andriol) which are taken 2-3 times daily with food. However, oral testosterone is not ideal for most men.

Aging brings many changes in hormonal balance, including a gradual decline in testosterone levels. Lower testosterone causes unwelcome symptoms that disrupt men's health and vitality.
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offers a way to restore levels back to a healthy, youthful range. TRT can help men feel more energetic, mentally sharp, and sexually vital well into their later years.
Testosterone peaks during adolescence and early adulthood. Around age 30, it starts to decline gradually at about 1% per year. Many men begin noticing low T symptoms in their 40s and beyond.
Contributing factors include:
Lower testosterone results in various signs and symptoms that should not be considered just “normal aging.”
Symptoms of hypogonadism (clinically low testosterone) include:
Physical
Mental
Other
If low T is left untreated, quality of life progressively worsens. TRT offers solutions.
The benefits of TRT extend far beyond just feeling younger and more energetic. Studies show optimizing testosterone provides:
Improved heart health - Better cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, reduced arterial plaque
Increased lean muscle mass - Helps regain size and strength lost from aging
Decreased body fat - Aids losing stubborn abdominal fat
Stronger bones - Boosts bone mineral density to reduce fracture risk
Balanced mood and mental sharpness - Relieves depression and “brain fog” of low T
Increased libido - Restores healthy sex drive and erectile function
More energy - Enhances physical and mental stamina
With diligent treatment and monitoring, most men tolerate TRT very well and find it offers anti-aging benefits that enhance vitality and vigor well into the later years.
