Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Dr. Shel’s testosterone replacement for men restores testosterone levels to pre-depleted levels using bio-identical hormones. Testosterone levels gradually decline as a man ages, decreasing approximately 1.5% annually after age 30.

Unlike women undergoing menopause, middle-aged men do not generally experience a rapid/dramatic decline in sex hormone production. Low testosterone levels can result in decreased muscle mass, decreased bone density, insulin resistance, decreased sex drive, less energy, irritability, and depression.

Dr. Shel and her team conduct hormone tests to obtain a complete picture of your overall health. From then, they will create a customized testosterone replacement therapy program depending on each patient’s individual needs.

Bio-identical hormones are all-natural and plant-derived. They are extremely safe and effective when prescribed properly because their chemical structure is the same as those made by your body. They have many benefits for one’s overall health.

The amount of testosterone a man produces decreases slowly as he ages, decreasing approximately 1.5% every year after age 30.

The following are some signs of low testosterone:

• Loss of sex drive/inability to maintain an erection
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Depressed mood
• Aches and pains in the joints
• Dry skin
• Osteoporosis
• Loss of weight

Absence or regression of secondary sexual characteristics, such as muscle development, deep voice, and hair distribution on the chest and face

You should schedule a hormone health consultation if you experience any of these symptoms.
