Making a Decision on a Hormone Replacement Treatment Program

Before discussing cost let us share 10 years of experience that may be helpful in making a decision on a treatment program

1. If you are having symptoms, the decision on treating testosterone, thyroid and DHEA deficiencies should not be “Should I get treated?”. Rather it should be “Where should get treated?” Whether you work with us or someone else, as long as it is done correctly you MUST get treatment – it will change your life. Your father and grand-father had to live with it -- you can fix it

     2. The decision on using Growth Hormone (HGH) is best approached from the financial side. HGH is a bit expensive but   well worth the expenditure if your budget will support it. If your budget will handle $299 to $598 per month then absolutely investigate it and test for it. If not – don’t investigate it or test for it – you will only frustrate yourself when you already know it is not affordable.

     Note:  The variation in cost below is dependent on your wishes and the wishes of your doctor.  however, you should be able to get a good idea of your monthly and yearly cost 

What am I paying for With reNEW MAN

Answer:  You are paying for hormone treatment that optimizes results and does it safely.  Each program is individualized to the needs of each man as determined by testing and an evaluation from one of the doctors in our national network. Upon visiting a doctor you will receive feedback about your current hormone levels and how they compare to optomal standards.  For example -- optimal:
**free testosterone levels are usually between 250pg and 350pg;
**thyroid T3free -- 350pg to 425pg;
**esradiol 15pg to 30pg
**etc.,

 The above is 50% of "optimal results".  The other 50% is lifestyle.  You must watch your diet and be physically active.  We will guide you.
