Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Testosterone is a crucial hormone in men. As we naturally age or we neglect our health through excessive alcohol, stress or poor diet as examples, testosterone levels in men may decrease. If left untreated, men can experience visible changes in terms of muscle loss, increased body fat, fatigue, anxiety, reduced muscle mass, diminished libido, and erectile dysfunction.

Test, Diagnose and Underlying Conditions. Addressing underlying medical conditions that can contribute to low testosterone, such as obesity, diabetes, or hormonal disorders, can help improve testosterone levels.
Discuss Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). TRT involves administering synthetic testosterone to raise testosterone levels to normal range. It can be delivered via injections, patches, gels, or pellets implanted under the skin.
Medications. Certain medications, such as clomiphene citrate or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), may be prescribed to stimulate the body's natural production of testosterone.
Lifestyle Modifications. Making lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity, improving diet, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep can help improve testosterone levels naturally.
Nutritional Supplements: Some supplements, such as vitamin D, zinc, and D-aspartic acid, may help support testosterone production, although more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
Lifestyle Counseling: Counseling or therapy may be beneficial for addressing emotional issues related to low testosterone, such as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems
