Testosterone is an essential hormone for men's health and wellbeing. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to a condition known as low testosterone or 'low T'. Low testosterone affects up to 30% of men over age 50 and can cause symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, and depressed mood. Treatments like testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) offered at clinics like HormoVital can safely and effectively relieve low T symptoms when overseen by a knowledgeable medical provider.
Treating low T with TRT provides important health benefits for men including:
In summary, TRT can help men feel healthier, stronger, and more vigorous as they age. Our experienced clinicians tailor treatment plans to meet each patient's needs and health goals.
The first step in treating low T is having your testosterone levels accurately tested. The experienced medical team at HormoVital uses advanced testing approaches to diagnose low testosterone including:
We also evaluate concerning symptoms like fatigue, erectile dysfunction, and changes in strength, physique, or mood that can further indicate low T.
By combining advanced hormone testing and a careful review of your symptoms, we can accurately diagnose whether you have clinically low testosterone levels. If TRT looks appropriate, we will discuss your treatment options and develop an individualized plan tailored to your needs and health status.

The most common low T symptoms are low energy/fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, erectile or sexual dysfunction, and depressed mood. Difficulty concentrating, reduced beard growth, and hot flashes may also occur.
Accurately diagnosing low T requires a blood test. We recommend checking total testosterone, free testosterone, bioavailable testosterone, and other hormones for comparison like estradiol, DHEA, and prolactin. Repeat testing first thing in the morning and comparing to optimal reference ranges for your age provides the most accurate results.
If your symptoms and blood tests show significantly low testosterone levels, TRT should be strongly considered. HormoVital offers TRT via sublingual tablets, injections, gels, and pellets based on your needs and preferences. Pellet implants and self-administered gels or injections allow steady testosterone delivery over 1-6 months.
Out-of-pocket costs for TRT vary widely but often total $150-300 monthly depending on your insurance coverage. Options like compounded gels and tablets tend to cost less while branded products are more expensive. Regular labs plus medical visits add to the overall price. HormoVital can advise you on affordable ways to cover therapy costs.
Most men see some increased energy, mood boosting effects, and favorable lab value changes in 4-6 weeks. But peak improvements in areas like sexual function, physique, strength, and cardiometabolic measures accrue over 3-6 months. That highlights the importance of consistent, long-term TRT to achieve full benefits.
