Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone that plays a crucial role in maintaining men's physical and mental health. Unfortunately, testosterone levels begin decreasing after age 30, dropping 1-2% per year. Low testosterone afflicts millions of men and can negatively impact:
The symptoms emerge slowly, which is why many men fail to recognize declining testosterone as the root cause. A simple blood test is required to accurately measure testosterone levels.
Testosterone replacement therapy provides bioidentical testosterone via gels, patches, injections or pellets to restore testosterone to healthy, youthful levels. Outcomes often include:
TRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The experienced physicians at Hormone Harmony tailor therapy to your unique needs through ongoing monitoring and dosage adjustments. We also provide nutritional advice, weight management and exercise guidance to help you achieve peak results.
Men experiencing multiple symptoms of low testosterone - such as fatigue, low sex drive, muscle loss, mood changes, erectile dysfunction, sleep disturbances or weight gain - are encouraged to have their testosterone levels tested.
Some contributing factors that can lead to low testosterone include:
Testosterone therapy is not advisable for men wishing to improve athletic performance or those with untreated prostate or breast cancer.
Tests to rule out underlying conditions may be recommended. A thorough physical exam, medical history review and blood work (including PSA to screen for prostate cancer) will determine if you are a suitable candidate for TRT.
Getting testosterone levels restored to optimal ranges with TRT offers life-changing benefits:
Most men begin experiencing results within 3-6 weeks after starting therapy. Maximum benefits are typically achieved after 3-6 months of optimized dosing.

TRT is life-changing yet complex, which gives many prospective patients understandable concerns and unanswered questions. Here we'll address some of the top questions men have about pursuing treatment through Hormone Harmony:
Is testosterone therapy safe? Yes, testosterone therapy is safe when properly prescribed and monitored based on your health profile. We maximize safety through regular blood work, follow ups and annual exams.
What are the side effects or risks? Potential side effects like acne, sleep apnea or polycythemia are rare and usually resolved by adjusting dosage or administration method. There is an increased risk of blood clots in those already predisposed.
Is TRT covered by insurance? Yes, testosterone replacement therapy is often covered by insurance when medically necessary, but this varies by plan. We assist with verifying your coverage and benefits.
How much does it cost out-of-pocket? With insurance coverage, your out-of-pocket costs are typically $30 - $75 per month. Without insurance, treatment may range from $150 - $450 monthly.
How long until I feel results? Most men feel subtle improvements in energy, mood and libido within 3-4 weeks. Max benefits take 3-6 months as you achieve optimal testosterone levels.
Is therapy lifelong or short-term? For most men, TRT is a lifelong treatment as your body cannot restart natural testosterone production. We make every effort to minimize dose and frequency long-term.
