Hormone Replacement for Men
Is it right for me? What can it do for me?
At Youth Diagnostics™, we believe that optimized health consists of a balance of:
- bioidentical hormone replacement,
- anti-oxidant therapy, and
- proper nutrition & exercise.
Hormone replacement therapy is an optimal choice for men looking to significantly improve and maintain their physiological health and to increase their energy and stamina in all aspects of their lives. As physicians who specialize in this treatment, we have seen our patients undergo improvements in their physiology, including:
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Decreased body fat, especially around the mid-section
- Increased libido
- Increased physical and mental energy levels
- Increased muscle and bone strength
- Enhanced sexual performance
- Improved healing and recovery
- Improved immune system
- Optimized spatial memory
Through years of experience providing hormone replacement therapy at Youth Diagnostics™, we have fine-tuned a healthy and balanced approach to Testosterone Replacement that is convenient, natural, and unobtrusive:
- No patches, shots or large amounts of gel. Testosterone is delivered in a small amount of cream that is easily and comfortably absorbed through the skin on one arm.
- Alternatives to testosterone cream. As a substitute for using the cream, you may be a candidate for receiving human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to stimulate your body to produce its own testosterone.
- Comprehensive personalized treatment. Hormone replacement therapy is a nuanced process that is unique to each individual. We thoroughly assess every patient’s particular needs through a comprehensive series of blood tests, a physical exam and a complete medical history. We do not rely on saliva tests nor symptoms alone.
- Regular follow-ups and monitoring. We continually monitor symptoms and blood levels to ensure that an optimal amount of hormones is being absorbed, given your particular metabolism. We work with you on a monthly to bi-monthly basis until a steady regimen has been established.
- Continued hormone replacement with age. As you age, your hormone needs will change - certain hormone levels will decline, making it essential to continue replacing them at levels that are healthy and important for your long-term health.
- Options for additional growth hormones. If the right indications are present, growth hormone (hGH), which has been shown to work synergistically with testosterone in restoring lean body mass and connective tissue health, may be added as part of your therapy.
- Convenient medical home delivery. Finally, there is no need for you to run around trying to find a pharmacy that carries your prescription hormones. The hormones are delivered conveniently to your door from MedQuest Pharmacy on a monthly basis.
Not only is hormone replacement therapy an optimal choice for improving your energy and physiological health, the therapy is affordable as a worthwhile investment. Depending on which particular hormones need to be replaced, the cost of therapy can run from $110 to $200/month. Growth hormone replacement programs start at roughly $450/month.
