Let’s do it! Feeling younger and healthier starts with a free consult and free testosterone test in our Brea office with a board certified hormone and wellness expert.
Yes. To be a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy, you need to have symptoms consistent with low testosterone, and a blood test that shows low testosterone. We also have to make sure your PSA and hematocrit aren’t elevated. We perform these tests for free in the office (testosterone, PSA, hematocrit). If you are a candidate for treatment, we can start testosterone in the office that day.
In men, testosterone is typically administered as a weekly injection in the muscle of the butt, thigh, or arm. Injections result in excellent testosterone blood levels and symptom resolution, and this is the way more than 90% of men get their testosterone. We will teach you how to do injections at home, or you can come to the office for your injections. Testosterone can also be administered in topical form, but absorption and symptom resolution is more variable.
You may feel a change within the first week, but it can take 3-6 months to feel the full effects of testosterone replacement. Often the first changes men feel are an increase in libido and energy.
If you are a candidate for testosterone therapy, we can administer your first injection on the same day as your consultation. Medication is then shipped directly to your home at no cost to you and typically arrives in 8-14 days.
No. There is no evidence that testosterone replacement therapy increases the risk for either prostate cancer or cardiovascular disease.
Side effects can occur if testosterone levels become too high. Possible side effects include elevated hematocrit, acne, oily skin, male pattern hair loss, nipple pain, and aggression. Testosterone also reduces sperm count and fertility, and can cause testicular shrinkage. If men want fertility within 6-12 months, testosterone shouldn’t be started, and enclomiphene or clomiphene should be considered instead.
Our goal is to resolve your symptoms of low testosterone to get you feeling like your younger self again, without causing side effects. Generally this means getting your testosterone level into the top third of the normal range.
Yes! Bioidentical hormones are the same as what your body normally makes, and therefore function exactly the same as your normal hormones. Pharmaceutical companies make altered version of hormones (so they can patent them), but they don’t work in the same way as your body’s normal hormones. Mother Nature has provided us with the ideal hormones, and pharmaceutical companies have not been able to improve upon them with their synthetic hormones.
FDA approved medications are medications, in specific formulations and dosages, that have been proven to be safe and effective for a specific medical problem. Compounded medications are made from the same active ingredients (e.g. estradiol, testosterone, semaglutide, etc.), but are compounded (mixed) with other ingredients, and available in a wider variety of dosages, to create a product suitable or more beneficial for individual patients. This makes compounded medications more customizable for individual patients.
We use only large, US-licensed compounding pharmacies that buy their pharmaceuticals from FDA registered manufacturing facilities, and provide certificates of analysis to prove the integrity of the pharmaceuticals they use.
Compounding pharmacies offer a wider variety of bioidentical hormone formulations than pharmaceutical companies, which makes it easier to tailor medication plans for individual patients. There are FDA approved bioidentical hormone formulations (micronized progesterone, estradiol patches), but the formulations and dosages are limited. In general, pharmaceutical companies prioritize medications that they can patent, and they can’t patent naturally occurring compounds. We use both FDA approved and compounded bioidentical hormones.
