Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and vitality. It plays a crucial role in libido, muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and more. Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, and some men develop a condition called hypogonadism or low T. Symptoms include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, decreased energy, mood issues, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and difficulty concentrating.
Getting tested and pursuing treatment through a certified men’s health clinic can help restore healthy testosterone levels and relieve symptoms. New Beginnings HRT Clinic Mullica Hill specializes in precision testosterone therapies to help men in the Mullica Hill area regain their vitality.
The first step is diagnostic testing to confirm low testosterone, also called hypogonadism. A simple blood test can measure total and free testosterone levels in the body. New Beginnings HRT Clinic provides accurate testosterone testing at our onsite lab. We also test other related hormones and biomarkers associated with low T.
Symptoms and risk factors are also considered when making a diagnosis. Some additional signs pointing to low T include:
Testing is covered by most major insurance plans when medically necessary.
Once low T is diagnosed, the most effective treatment is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). New Beginnings HRT Clinic Mullica Hill offers several proven TRT protocols to get testosterone levels optimized.
The benefits of TRT include:
There are several delivery methods for TRT, including:
Testosterone injections, or testosterone cypionate shots, directly supply the hormone into the bloodstream. Effects last around 1-2 weeks. This method is low cost and proven, but requires regular injections. New Beginnings HRT Clinic teaches proper injection techniques and provides supplies if needed.
Testosterone gel is a topical formula that is applied daily and absorbed through the skin. Gels include Androgel and Testim.
Testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormone implants placed under the skin every 3-6 months to release testosterone. A quick and minimally invasive office procedure.
Other alternative delivery methods our physicians may recommend include testosterone creams, oral tablets, skin patches, and HCG therapy.
The New Beginnings HRT Clinic medical team will work with you to decide which option is right for your lifestyle and needs. We offer flexible protocols, easy self-injection lessons, and more.
Testosterone therapy has been found to improve verbal memory and some measures of executive functioning in older men with low testosterone levels. However, it does not seem to improve verbal fluency or visual memory, indicating the cognitive effects may be selective and rely on testosterone interactions with specific brain regions.
We advise certain lifestyle changes and holistic techniques to complement TRT treatment:
Focus on high protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and nutrient-dense foods. Avoid processed carbs and sugars which can counteract TRT.
Weight and resistance training helps boost testosterone and growth hormone levels while also building strength and lean muscle mass.
Chronic stress elevates cortisol which lowers testosterone over time. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, meditation, or spending time in nature.
Getting at least 7 hours per night supports hormone regulation and recovery. Develop consistent sleep habits.
Following TRT therapy under the care and guidance of our experienced medical team can transform men's health. New Beginnings HRT Clinic Mullica Hill strives to optimize vitality, energy levels, physical capability, and confidence. Reach out today to learn more or set up a consultation.
