Andropause
"REALLY"?
- Men can have great sex drives and still have low testosterone
- Erectile dysfunction can be a late symptom of testosterone decline
- Starting at age 30, men lose 10% of testosterone every decade.
- Testosterone replacement results with age, but early testosterone deficiency symptoms often have a root problem connection. That’s where I come in.
I’m here to give you bigger reasons for your symptoms with better answers.
Symptoms Of Low Testosterone
Testosterone deficiency is so common and often people mistake it as getting “old”. Men are often shy or embarrassed to ask. Please know treating you, just like women is my passion and I respect your shyness, and want nothing more than to share with you that your health decline is fixable and blaming your age is not necessary.
When your testosterone levels drop, men may also experience depression, anxiety and sleep problems along with hair loss, memory loss and erectile dysfunction. You may find yourself gaining weight and losing muscle mass.
Once you hit middle age, these symptoms are likely to occur with greater frequency and intensity.
Why Should Men Consider BHRT?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is used to optimize hormone levels so you can reclaim your vitality, energy levels and sex drive.
There are many studies over the last 30 years that have shown TRT as a safe and effective strategy for treating hormone imbalances – provided that appropriate hormone testing is used to individualize your dose to your specific needs.
Men who have used BHRT have experienced the following benefits:
- Increase in energy & resilience
- Improved mood & sleep
- Boost in sexual drive & libido
- Increase in muscular strength and body tone
- Reduction in body fat
- Decrease in anxiety
It’s not always just low Testosterone: A Balanced You Approach
A healthy body is required in order for any hormone to work effectively.
I look for underlying problems causing low testosterone symptoms at the same time of checking your testosterone levels.
I determine common risk factors that are associated with low testosterone such as sedentary lifestyle, medications and chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
If your test results show that your testosterone level falls below optimal ranges and you are experiencing common symptoms associated with low testosterone, we will explore appropriate lifestyle changes to naturally boost testosterone levels and discuss TRT.
What Business does a female have teaching men about TRT?
A very appropriate and valid question.
After years in conventional medicine, I noticed a clear pattern—middle-aged men were the least likely to come in for care on their own and the most likely to cancel appointments. When they did make it into the office, it often took several visits to uncover the deeper issues behind their physical and emotional symptoms: low libido, depression, and relationships on the verge of collapse.
As a wife and mom of two teenage boys, I understand that discussing emotions doesn’t always come naturally for men. I realized I had to approach my male patients with the same sensitivity and strategy I use at home—acknowledging that “talking feelings” can feel awkward, and that trust is earned.
So I made sexual health a standard part of my wellness exams—no awkward questions, no judgment, just open, direct conversation. With a mix of emotional intelligence, clinical expertise, and confidence to treat men’s sexual health as openly as diabetes or blood pressure, I discovered a true passion for supporting men in this often-overlooked area of their health.
