Testosterone Therapy
What is Low Testosterone?
Understanding how declining testosterone affects men’s health, energy, and vitality.
In men, testosterone is produced mainly in the testes and is responsible for stimulating sperm production and sex drive, as well as developing muscle and creating bone mass. As men age testosterone production decreases.
When production falls below certain levels several symptoms and complications can begin to occur. Signs of low testosterone can sometimes be subtle and mistaken as simply a part of the aging process.
Throughout life, testosterone peaks in the early 30s and steadily declines with age. However, age is not the only culprit behind decreasing testosterone.
How Low T Affects Health
Other medical conditions can cause low T, and when low T occurs alongside an existing condition, it can worsen symptoms and potentially accelerate disease progression.
Heart disease
Obesity
High blood pressure
Chronic Illness

What are the treatment options?
LowT happens naturally, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. There are options available that will replace the testosterone you’ve lost and get you back to feeling younger. At Vitalize Health, we do not follow a set protocol. Our treatments are customized to each and every patient.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Injectable Testosterone is the most common course of treatment offered. Since your body no longer produces the correct amount of testosterone, weekly injections can replace what is missing. Regular lab work is required to ensure that you are staying within the correct range.
Hormone Pelleting
Vitalize health offers bioidentical hormone pellets which are inserted under the skin during a simple procedure. These pellets contain hormones that are identical to the body’s natural testosterone and regulate hormones to an optimum level, avoiding any testosterone highs or lows that may be experienced with other low T treatments.
