Testosterone is the life source for the male body. It’s what makes a man a man. This is because the male body is filled with testosterone receptors. If testosterone levels dip, these receptors won’t receive enough testosterone to keep you going. The result is fatigue. Low sex drive. Muscle loss. And many other symptoms.

The Facts about Testosterone in Men

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid. While “steroid” is a word that engenders negative connotations with those who follow sports, men actually produce this anabolic steroid naturally. In fact, men require it to live.
If done correctly, there are no side effects from testosterone therapy. It’s safe and it’s healthy.
Testosterone does not cause prostate cancer. Excess estrogen, in fact, is the root cause of prostrate cancer.
Replacing testosterone should be done in conjunction with balancing other hormones.
Testosterone is the feel-good hormone for men. With testosterone therapy, you will see improvement in 1 to 2 weeks. You should feel like a new man in 3 to 6 weeks.
Testosterone levels in men are declining at an accelerated rate in recent years. Studies suggest that this acceleration is likely due to pollutants and petrochemicals in the environment. While unusual 10 years ago, now we routinely treat men in their 20s and 30s.

Common Symptoms

Lab Levels and What They Mean

The word “normal” means different things to different healthcare professionals. Some physicians will use the word “normal” to describe a testosterone level that you would expect for a man at a particular age without treatment. For instance, if a man is 70, and his levels are very low, he may be told that’s normal for his age. Other physicians will say levels are acceptable if they fall within the “normal lab tested range”, even though men are likely to experience symptoms at the lower end of that range.

At Renew Youth, we object to the medical community’s flexible use of the word “normal” when it comes to male hormones. And we don’t think it should be considered normal for a man to suffer with symptoms of andropause. This is why we don’t think in terms of normal levels—we think in terms of optimal levels. Optimal is where a man feels and functions at his best, without unpleasant symptoms.

Any physician who tells a male patient experiencing clear symptoms of andropause that his levels are normal and that he doesn’t need treatment is doing a serious disservice to that patient. Don’t settle for being told “you have normal testosterone for your age”. If you’re having symptoms of low testosterone, call us. We will give you straight answers and solid information.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have done a lot of reading about hormone therapy, but does it work?: Yes—if it’s done correctly, and under the supervision of an experienced doctor.

Hormone therapy is not a fanciful search for the fountain of youth. It is medical science at its best. It is trained doctors using sophisticated lab tests and treatment protocols developed and used over many years to produce life-altering results.
When should I think about replacing hormones?: Historically, our answer to the “when should I start” question has been to begin once you have symptoms, regardless of age.

However, the idea that we can manage the aging process is gaining momentum. An outgrowth of that is that we have an increasing number of clients who contact us initially because they wish to take control of the aging process early, long before symptoms have emerged.

Whether you want to head off the aging process early, or you’re just beginning to experience symptoms, or your symptoms are severe and you’ve had them for a long time, we can design a treatment program to address your unique needs.
What does Bioidentical mean?: Bioidentical means that molecularly the hormone that you’re replacing is exactly the same as what your body produces naturally. The molecules of synthetic hormones are slightly different.

There are hormone receptors all over your body. Think of these receptors like they’re locks, and hormone molecules like they’re keys. The synthetic molecules don’t fit into those locks quite right, which means they don’t work the same way in your body—often with detrimental consequences. You may be wondering…why do pharmaceutical companies make synthetic hormones with molecules that are slightly different? Because it’s the only way they can patent them. Bioidentical hormones can’t be patented.
Do I have to treat all hormones?: Hormones can be treated separately or in combination. However, we do emphasize that hormone therapy is about having balanced hormones—better results are obtained by taking the proper amount of a combination of hormones, depending upon what your lab results show, and depending upon your symptoms. All of your hormones will function better if they’re all present at healthy levels.
How are hormones replaced?: The short answer is that it depends. For some hormones, there are one or two optimal and safe methods of delivery. In other instances, client preference may come into play. You will be informed as to what the pros and cons are of any particular method of delivery, so that you and our doctors can decide what makes the most sense for you. Regardless, our doctors will not allow you to do something that isn’t safe.
How much of any given hormone will I take?: Your Renew Youth doctor will prescribe the amount needed to optimize your levels. Our doctors use a combination of lab testing and feedback from you with regard to how you’re feeling to dial in just the right dosages.
Is hormone therapy safe?: Yes. There are countless studies that have shown not only the safety of hormone therapy, but also the long-term health benefits. This assumes that treatment is done properly, and monitored on a regular basis. Again, the only way we do things is safely, and correctly.
Are there any side effects associated with your therapies?: When hormones and other treatments are administered correctly—and correctly is the only way we do things—there should be no side effects.
How long must I commit to hormone therapy?: Your commitment to hormone therapy should last as long as you want the results. If this thought is daunting, consider that men and women of previous generations had the same age-related challenges that we face today. They could not, however, do anything about it. When you consider the improved quality of life that hormone therapy affords, not to mention a longer life, making the commitment becomes easier.
Where and how do I get my lab testing done?: Renew Youth has national accounts with two of the largest lab companies in the country. We will arrange your testing at a location that is convenient for you.
Where will I see my Renew Youth doctor?: Renew Youth has doctors located across the country, and we will determine which one is closest to you.
Are diet and exercise important?: Yes! Establishing and maintaining good lifestyle habits is critical to achieving optimal results from your treatment. This means eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and drinking lots of water.
Can you help me with sexual dysfunction?: Absolutely. We have many solutions available for both men and women.
Will injectable nutrients be a part of my program?: That’s largely up to you. Many of our clients augment their better aging efforts with injectable nutrients. Our doctors will discuss your goals with you, and will review the various options available to you.
