Testosterone Replacement Therapy Near Me

Finding a great testosterone clinic can be challenging…

If you have been searching online to find testosterone replacement, you have probably realized that you might not want to trust your health with just anyone. Unfortunately online prescription sites with fake or potentially hazardous “bath tub” hormones are on the rise.

In fact, the FDA has published tons of information about fake online pharmacies.

Here are a few tips when looking for a testosterone replacement clinic near you.

1. Avoid online testosterone sites that will allow you to buy drugs without a prescription. Counterfeit medicines are everywhere!

2. Avoid clinics that ship drugs from other countries that do not have a US based license.

3. Avoid clinics that do not check labs and perform a physical exam with an actual medical provider.

4. Avoid clinics that do not go over the benefits and risks of testosterone replacement with you and offices that are not knowledgeable with hormone replacement. You want to be sure that testosterone is actually needed. You also want to make sure that the medical expert that you are seeing knows what they are doing.

5. Look at the clinic’s online reviews and ratings.

6. Look at the clinic’s level of service and treatment packages. Simply looking and comparing prices can be very deceiving. Many offices are hard to schedule with, have long waiting times, or have you driving to the pharmacy every couple of weeks for a prescription. You usually get what you pay for.

Testosterone has the potential to change lives when administered correctly! Make sure that your put your health in good hands when choosing a medical provider.

What Are Normal Testosterone Levels?

We All know that testosterone levels decline with age. However declining levels should not stop you from replacing low testosterone when you have symptoms that may be negatively impacting your life and health. Treatment for low testosterone involves a lifelong strategy.

If your car ran out of gas for instance it would make sense that you would need to continue to replace the gas. A similar situation can exist with low testosterone. Early in life, lifestyle and nutritional factors can sometimes restore testosterone levels. Over time however if you body fails to respond to these interventions then testosterone replacement may be the answer. A whole host of factors are used to determine if replacement is the best fit for you.

The “normal range” testosterone fallacy is something that many men are dealing with today. Apparently if a man falls somewhere between the testosterone level for an 18 year old and an 80 year old then they could not possibly have low testosterone (insert sarcasm here). Unfortunately many men are told that nothing is wrong with their testosterone by their doctor when they have one of these “normal levels” with tons of debilitating symptoms.

We believe that testing your testosterone level is important however managing condition and symptoms are more important than any indiscriminate lab result. In general a free testosterone level gives you much more valuable information than just a total testosterone level.

This is due to the fact the part of your total testosterone level can be bound by a sex hormone binding globulin SHBG. SHBG binds your total testosterone and if too much of your testosterone is bound then you can have a normal total testosterone level and still have severe symptoms of low testosterone.

All in all, I would encourage you to look further to see a provider that understands hormone replacement if you have symptoms of low testosterone.

Researchers have discovered that sarcopenia can increase your risk of many health issues including: falls, loss of independence, disability, and death. Decreased leg muscle mass is especially associated with our ability to walk as we age.

Increasing Muscle Mass With Age...

Researchers at the University of Florida recently found:

• Dietary interventions involving protein supplementation improved functional and/or strength with age

• Exercise interventions and combined diet and exercise interventions produced consistent improvements in maintaining lower body muscle strength

• A much larger number of older adults will have future problems with losing muscle mass than previously thought

Replacing low testosterone along with resistance training has been shown to prevent the accelerated loss of muscle mass with aging.

Testosterone has also been shown to up-regulate the genes that are involved in increasing muscle mass.

In summary, diet, exercise, and replacing low testosterone have all been shown to be highly effective at preventing this serious issue.
