Results vary from patient to patient.  Most people report a dramatic increase in energy, and exercise capacity once the dose gets close to optimal. A general rule of thumb is the longer some things take to occur in the normal aging process, such as a decrease in muscle mass and bone density, the longer it will take for the therapy to work. It may take 6 weeks to 6 months therapy to see a measurable increase in muscle mass, bone density, memory, and decrease in body fat. Once therapy is optimized, you enter  maintenance.                                  

Laboratory Assessment and Monitoring $450 

During this Monitoring phase, there will be a significant cost reduction as less drug therapies will be required. Routine laboratory testing is required for monitoring the therapy, and will be conducted every 3-4 months, depending on each patient’s individual needs. The fees for these laboratory services are typically covered by your insurance provider. A targeted panel of laboratory tests and physical measurements will be obtained in order to monitor the therapy and track your program on an ongoing basis. Phase I, II, and III of the treatment program include the following:

  • Men with Severe Hypogonadism, and some cases of Mild to Moderate Hypogonadism: Hypogonadism in Healthy Aging Men has been refered to as "ANDROPAUSE". It has been estimated that hypogonadism affects up to 4 million men in the United States, with its prevalence rapidly increasing with age, and that more than 50% of healthy men older than 60 years have low levels of free testosterone.

THERE IS NO CONSENSUS IN THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY REGARDING WHAT BLOOD LEVELS DEFINE MALE HYPOGONADISM. VALUES LESS THAN 300 AND IN SOME CASES 350 ARE OFTEN USED. LEVELS OF 50 FOR FREE TESTOSTERONE ARE USED. Even Normal Testosterone Blood Levels are Not Always Reflective of Functional Levels. The Medical Community's Understanding of Hormone Levels is Evolving. Cells and Tissues May Not be Responding, similar to a person with Type II Diabetes with normal insulin levels and insulin resistance. Sometimes the Body Produces Higher Levels of Blood Testosterone to Compensate for Resistance. This is why Interpreting Blood Levels of Testosterone is Very Difficult. It is Important to have a Comprehensive Medical History, Physical and Review of Symptoms Listed Above when Interpreting Lab Values. MOST BLOOD CIRCULATING TESTOSTERONE IS BOUND TIGHTLY TO SEX HORMONE-BINDING GLOBULIN AND IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY FUNCTIONAL, OUR DOCTOR OFFERS BIOAVALIABLE TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF ABNORMAL TESTOSTERONE BINDING IS SEEN IN MEN WITH A WAIST SIZE GREATER THAN 40 INCHES AND IN WOMEN WITH A WAIST SIZE GREATER THAN 35 INCHES. THERE IS COMPELLING EVIDENCE FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF SEX HORMONE BALANCE IN PREVENTING DIABETES AND HEART DISEASE. TESTOSTERONE IS ALSO A CORONARY VASODILATOR AND REPLACEMENT THERAPY HAS BEEN SHOWN TO REDUCE TOTAL AND LDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS.
