Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health. It plays a crucial role in vitality, sexual function, muscle and bone health, fat distribution, and red blood cell production. Low testosterone, also called low T or hypogonadism, is a common condition that affects up to 40% of men over age 45. The symptoms of low T include:
Testosterone deficiency can severely impact a man’s quality of life. It also increases risks for other medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and even early mortality.
The good news is testosterone deficiency is highly treatable through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). With customized treatment protocols, most men find major improvements in symptoms and regaining vitality. TRT can truly transform health, wellbeing and relationships.
TRT offers a wide range of benefits when properly managed under a doctor’s care. The most common improvements include:
- Increased sex drive and libido - Improved erectile quality - Increased sensation and intensity of orgasms
- Increased lean muscle mass - Decreased body fat - Greater strength and endurance - Increased bone mineral density
- Balanced and stabilized mood - Relief from irritability and hot flashes - Improved mental clarity and focus - Greater motivation and drive
- Relief from chronic fatigue - Heightened energy levels and endurance - Improved productivity and performance - Better sleep quality
With TRT, most men feel like they regain their youthful vitality. It helps bring testosterone levels back to an optimal range, leading to huge benefits for physical, mental and emotional health. TRT also reduces risks for chronic diseases down the road.
Hormone Harmony Clinic specializes in advanced hormone treatments to get patients back to peak vitality and health. Our experienced clinicians tailor treatment plans to your unique needs through therapies like testosterone replacement.
Low T symptoms can develop gradually over time. They also commonly overlap with other medical conditions or natural aging. That’s why accurately diagnosing hypogonadism through testing is key.
The Endocrine Society’s clinical practice guidelines say testosterone deficiency should only be diagnosed when:
A) A man has signs and symptoms of low T
AND
B) Lab testing shows decreased testosterone blood levels on 2 or more occasions
Blood testing is critical for accurately assessing hormone balance in men. At Hormone Harmony Clinic, we evaluate these key lab markers:
Evaluating this comprehensive hormone profile alongside a medical history and physical exam allows our clinicians to make an informed diagnosis of low testosterone. We then work with patients to develop customized treatment plans to resolve deficiencies and optimize wellbeing.
Hormone Harmony Clinic offers accessible, efficient testosterone and hormone testing in Irving for accurate diagnoses. We also provide ongoing monitoring throughout treatment.
Not all testosterone therapy is equally effective or safe. That’s why Hormone Harmony Clinic customizes treatment based on your:

Testosterone treatments can have some surprising effects. Did you know that testosterone therapy has been shown to improve verbal memory and spatial abilities in older men? One study found that men over 60 who used testosterone gel for 6 months performed better on tests of verbal memory and spatial visualization compared to men who used a placebo. The improvements were modest but meaningful.
Reaching optimal testosterone balance goes beyond hormone therapy alone. We provide lifestyle coaching and support for total wellbeing:

A: Age-related testosterone decline is linked to reductions in cells that produce testosterone and hormones that trigger it. But "normal aging" doesn't have to mean living with low T symptoms. TRT can safely restore youthful vitality.
A: Most men feel some improvements in 3-6 weeks, but maximal benefits take 2-3 months as tissue sensitivity increases and testosterone stabilizes. We also adjust dosing over time to reach optimal levels.
A: When properly dosed and monitored under a doctor's care, decades of research shows TRT is highly safe and effective. However, we screen for potential health risks before starting therapy and conduct ongoing safety monitoring.
A: Large, well-designed studies find no increased prostate cancer risk with TRT. We monitor PSA tests and perform prostate exams during treatment for early detection. TRT does not cause cancer in men with otherwise normal prostate health.
A: Over-the-counter “boosters” may mildly raise testosterone levels for some but clinical data is lacking on their real-world efficacy and safety - especially long term. Many contain hidden ingredients other than vitamins which are untested. For low T treatment, properly prescribed TRT is more reliable.
