Testosterone Optimization is the process of increasing a man’s testosterone levels to high normal ranges, without any of the possible side effects.
At Man of Health Clinic we believe in men being the best version of themselves, in order for men to have that feeling we believe the male hormone testosterone needs to be optimized. This is why we offer Testosterone Optimization Therapy (TOT)
Why TOT Is Important?
Testosterone Optimization Therapy (TOT) is an important medical therapy for men suffering from low testosterone levels. By taking testosterone, men can help restore their testosterone levels and reduce the symptoms associated with low testosterone.
The importance of TOT lies in its ability to help men with low testosterone levels regain their health and vitality. TOT can help improve a man’s overall health, both physically, mentally, spiritually, and sexually. Physically, it can help improve muscle mass, reduce body fat and restore sexual function. Mentally, it can help reduce depression, fatigue, and mood swings. Additionally, TOT can also help to improve cognitive functioning and memory. Spiritually it can lead to more focus and a deeper connection with oneself and family members. Sexually it can help improve the quality and quantity of erections, and also improve your desire to have sex (libido).
Studies have also shown that TOT can help osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. By restoring testosterone levels, TOT can help reduce inflammation, which can lead to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
Finally, TOT can help improve a man’s quality of life. By restoring testosterone levels, men can experience increased energy levels, improved mood, better concentration, and improved sleep. It can also help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, allowing men to live happier and healthier lives.
How do We Implement TOT?
We have personalize Gameplans for each man that is interested in TOT. This is how we are different from most cookie cutter clinics.
We offer different plans based on your symptoms and lab work. We offer injections, creams, and oral medications personalized to your needs.
Injections: We offer different blends of testosterone:
- Testosterone Cypionate: Longer acting medication better for those, who require less frequent injections.
- Testosterone Propionate: shorter acting testosterone: Quicker reaction but requires more frequent injection.
- Testosterone Cypionate/Propionate: Perfect combination of both medications.
- Testosterone Enanthate: Long half life similar to Cypionate, less side effects but more painful injection.
*Our provider will create a plan custom for you based on your needs, all of our injections or bioidentical and based on plants*
Creams
We work with one of the best pharmacies to create concentrated creams. We offer a variety of different concentrations based on your individual needs.
Oral Medication
We offer oral medications to stabilize your testosterone levels, and to boost your bodies natural production of testosterone. We offer E Clomiphene.
E-Clomiphene (Eclomid): Clomid (clomiphene citrate) uses a different approach to increase testosterone and spermatogenesis. It was originally developed and tested to increase ovulation and, thereby, improve fertility in women. The result in men is a modest improvement in testosterone levels while preserving sperm production. We can usually achieve a 100% increase in T levels with EClomid. In some cases, one may see up to a 200% increase. So if you had an initial level of 400, we would hope to see an increase to 800, +/-. Some clients may even see a larger increase.
Clomid for men stimulates the body’s own production of testosterone. Clomid is a pill taken by mouth It does not interfere with the body’s checks and balances of testosterone. Fertility is preserved. No testicular shrinkage. It has few, if any, side effects and this is usually dose-related. Clomid, by increasing T levels, can produce the same/similar effects as traditional TRT. Each patient is different and the response will vary depending on current testosterone level.
What are the Downsides?
In lower levels of testosterone, it takes longer to see the benefits of Clomid than with injection therapy. It may also not work, especially in patients over 60 and those with compound medical issues. Some patients may not see an increase in libido as Clomid does have some mild estrogenic properties. Of course, we follow the labs, just like in TRT, and would correct for an elevated estradiol level if needed (anastrozole).
Other Additional Medications:
With every Testosterone Optimization Therapy, We offer certain add on medications to help boost your testosterone levels or prevent estrogenic side effects.
Anastrozole: Is one of the medications that I use, when needed, to help balance your estrogen to testosterone ratio. Anastrozole is an aromatase-inhibiting drug that comes in the form of a pill and is taken orally. It inhibits the ability of the aromatase enzyme to convert testosterone to estrogen. Thus, it lowers the level of circulating estradiol quite effectively.
Anastrozole is actually FDA-approved for the treatment of breast cancer in women after surgery. As such, its use in men on testosterone replacement therapy is considered to be off-labeled.
The goal of this medication is to make sure your estrogen levels do not remain to high. I offer this medication at an extremely low dosage. The goal of this medication is to eventually stop taking it once estrogen levels are balanced and there are no symptoms.
DIM: stands for di-indolyl-methane. DIM comes from indole-3-carbinol, which is a compound naturally found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and collards. When these foods reach the stomach, indole-3-carbinol is broken down by the stomach acid. DIM is then released as a by-product.
Promotes a healthy balance of testosterone and estrogen by preventing some testosterone from converting into estrogen. (acting as an aromatase inhibitor)
