Hormone Optimization for Men
As men age, testosterone levels begin to decline, which can lead to a variety of symptoms including fatigue, depression, irritability, aches and pains, general signs of aging, increased risk of chronic degenerative disease, and reduced sexual interest, enjoyment and or performance.
Andropause isn't a widely discussed topic and many of our male patients may not exactly know what they are experiencing, or how to address it. Luckily, HTCA providers across the nation are helping men restore optimal hormone levels with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Why is
Testosterone Important?
Testosterone has many important roles in the body and contributes to libido, mental clarity, strength, fat burning and overall well-being. Healthy levels of testosterone also help protect against arthritis, fat storage, and cardiovascular disease.
The right amount of testosterone that is present in the body allows for more lean muscle mass, greater bone density, improved skin tone and better sexual performance. These are just a few of the many reasons HTCA providers offer testosterone replacement therapy options for those struggling with testosterone deficiency.
What is Pellet Therapy?
Bioidentical pellet therapy is a preferred way to provide the body with a steady dose of hormones. Testosterone has been shown to increase muscle strength and lean body mass, improve sexual response, prevent osteoporosis, protect against cardiovascular disease, increase energy, fight impotence, improve both mood and sense of well-being, a recently published study even showed that men with higher testosterone levels live longer.

Pellets are placed under the skin and often last up to six months before needing a second dose, depending on the individual's level of activity.
