Hormone Therapy For Men

Hormone therapy for men focuses on restoring balance when testosterone levels begin to decline. Many men experience these changes in their thirties, forties, and fifties, but hormone shifts can occur earlier and may affect energy, strength, weight, mood, and sexual health.

Understanding Hormonal Changes in Men

Testosterone levels naturally start to decrease with age. This process can begin as early as the mid-thirties and often progresses gradually. Testosterone supports energy, metabolism, muscle mass, libido, cognitive function, and overall vitality, so even small changes can lead to noticeable symptoms.

Many men do not realize that declining hormone levels are contributing to their symptoms until a clear evaluation and lab testing provide answers.

Early Testosterone Decline

Testosterone may begin declining slowly, often without obvious symptoms at first. Stress, poor sleep, chronic illness, and certain medications can accelerate this process.

Over time, lower testosterone affects how the body regulates energy, strength, mood, and sexual function.

Andropause

Andropause, sometimes called male menopause, occurs when testosterone levels fall below the range needed for optimal function. Symptoms often become more noticeable at this stage, especially if levels have been gradually declining for several years.

A simple blood test helps identify your testosterone levels and allows your provider to create a personalized treatment plan that supports steady improvement.

Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men

Men with low or fluctuating testosterone levels may notice:

• Fatigue or low energy
• Reduced muscle strength
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Lower libido
• Erectile changes
• Sleep disturbances
• Mood swings or irritability
• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
• Slower exercise recovery
• Decreased motivation
• Loss of muscle mass

These symptoms may resemble other health issues, which is why proper evaluation is essential for an accurate diagnosis.

Causes of Hormone Imbalance in Men

Testosterone decline can be influenced by:

• Natural aging
• Chronic stress
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Poor sleep
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Certain medications
• Long-term illness
• Metabolic changes

Your provider will review your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle factors along with your lab results to understand the full picture.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is one of the most effective treatments for hormone imbalance. These hormones are chemically identical to the ones the body produces naturally, allowing them to be processed and recognized in a predictable way.

BHRT supports the systems that depend on stable testosterone levels, including energy, metabolism, strength, mood, cognitive function, and sexual health.

Hormone Therapy Options We Offer

We provide several treatment options to support balanced testosterone levels. Your provider will recommend the approach that aligns with your lab results and overall health.

EvexiPEL® Pellet Therapy

EvexiPEL® pellet therapy delivers a consistent dose of testosterone using small pellets placed just under the skin. This method provides steady hormone support for several months without daily or weekly dosing.

Testosterone Injections

Injections offer a reliable way to raise testosterone levels and may be recommended for men who prefer a traditional dosing method. Your provider will discuss timing and dosage based on your results.

Supportive Nutraceuticals

Targeted supplements, including vitamins and minerals, can support hormone balance and metabolic health. Your provider may recommend specific nutrients that complement your treatment plan.
