What does reNEW MAN do?
We are a clinic headquartered in Atlanta. Our doctors treat andropause / male menopause. We replace hormones to the healthy levels that existed in your body at age 25 – 30, the years when you felt your best. Declining hormones and poor lifestyle subject men to symptoms of andropause, compromises quality of life, increase the likelihood of chronic illness and cuts quality time / years from your life. We have a network of physicians affiliated across the U.S. that are trained in the reNEW MAN hormone replacement protocol. It is safe, healthy and it works.

When should I think about replacing hormones?
In the typical man, hormones start to decline in the mid to late 20′s. By age 35 declines are sufficient that symptoms may be evident. The best time to start replacing hormones is between age 35 and 40. However it is never too late. We have men in their 80′s that have found a new life.

How much of the hormone will I take?
The doctor will prescribe the appropriate amount it takes to get your hormone levels to a point that you are achieving optimal results. That will probably be the upper end of the normal and safe range as shown in lab tests.

Will hormone replacement cause my natural testosterone production to decline?
The doctor will prescribe a medication to stimulate your testicles while you take testosterone. This will minimize the possibility of a decline in your natural hormone production. When testosterone is introduced into the body from the outside, the glands producing testosterone senses that the body has an adequate supply of the hormone and does not need to work as hard and might become “lazy”. You have the choice of two medications as a stimulant – the doctor will help you choose.

Is this testosterone prescribed by reNEW MAN doctors the same as that being used by athletes I read about?
Not likely. Athletes and body builders typically use synthetic testosterone made in a laboratory know as “designer testosterone” designed to do specific things to the body. These testosterones will often push testosterone to very high levels for short periods. It stresses the body and is therefore unhealthy. The testosterone prescribed by reNEW MAN doctors is bio-identical to the testosterone produced naturally by your body – it comes from plant sources. Our doctors take your testosterone to natural levels that you had at age 25 to 30. It is safe and effective.

Will testosterone therapy help my sex drive and function?
The short answer is yes. For the longer answer please see: Sex Drive and Erectile Dysfunction.

It is the only medically proven way Growth Hormone can enter the body and be absorbed correctly.

Will the program interfere with my present medications?
Hormones are not drugs and it is unlikely they will react with other medications. In fact, some medications may no longer be needed. For example, research has shown that many people no longer need antidepressants once their hormones are restored to a healthy level. Address any other concerns with our qualified physician.

Is diet and exercise important?
Replacing hormones is the easy part. Establishing and maintaining good lifestyle practices of healthy diet, exercise and controlling stress are critical to optimal results from hormone therapy.
