Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an important treatment option for men suffering from low testosterone levels, also known as low T or hypogonadism. As men age, it’s common for testosterone levels to decline, leading to problematic symptoms. Optimal Hormone Solutions provides customized testosterone replacement plans to help men restore healthy testosterone levels and regain their vitality.
There are several potential causes of low testosterone in men:
As men grow older, the testes often produce less testosterone. By age 60, testosterone levels can decline by up to 50% compared to levels in a man’s 20s. This natural decline is a leading cause of low T.
Certain medical conditions are associated with lower testosterone, including diabetes, obesity, pituitary tumors, HIV/AIDS, chronic liver or kidney disease, and genetic conditions like Klinefelter’s syndrome.
Factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, and excessive alcohol consumption can depress testosterone over time.
Physical trauma to the testes can impair testosterone production. Past infections, surgery, or radiation treatment around the testicular region can also contribute to low T.
The symptoms of low testosterone tend to develop gradually over time. Common signs include:
If you’re experiencing any combination of these low T symptoms, it’s important to get your hormone levels tested. Optimal Hormone Solutions provides convenient local testing to check for testosterone deficiency.

There are several delivery methods for testosterone replacement:
Testosterone injections are a very effective TRT option. We teach you to self-administer testosterone deep into the glute or thigh muscle using a tiny needle. Injections are typically done weekly or every 1-2 weeks.
Benefits: - Highest bioavailability - Almost all medication absorbed - Steady hormone release between doses - Often the most affordable option
Considerations: - Requires learning self-injection technique - Potential for swings as dose wears off
Transdermal gels supply testosterone through skin absorption. Gels must be applied daily to arms, shoulders or abdomen.
Benefits: - Easy to administer - Flexible dosing adjustments
Considerations: - Potential skin irritation - Must wait before showering or close contact
Testosterone pellets are implanted under the skin every 3-6 months, offering continuous hormone release. Local anesthesia is used for insertion and removal.
Benefits: - Most steady long-term levels - No daily dosing required
Considerations: - Minor surgical procedure - Longer dose adjustment times
We also prescribe testosterone patches, oral tablets, nasal gels, and compound creams on a case-by-case basis depending on your needs and preferences.
Optimal Hormone Solutions will explain all your choices, making sure you understand the pros/cons of each so you can decide upon the optimal TRT plan for your lifestyle and health goals.
While testosterone therapy provides immense benefits on its own, making certain lifestyle changes helps maximize improvements:
Improve Your Diet – Focus on eating more high quality proteins, healthy fats and vegetables while reducing sugar/refined carbs. A balanced nutrition plan gives your TRT a major boost! We offer personalized nutrition advice.
Increase Exercise – Ideally 300 minutes weekly - lifting weights plus cardio activity. Strength training builds muscle and burns fat. Cardio strengthens the heart and lungs while also improving mood and sleep. We provide tailored workouts.
Reduce Stress – Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which lowers testosterone. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or Tai Chi. Getting adequate, restful sleep nightly also controls cortisol. We teach stress reduction strategies.
Limit Alcohol – Heavy alcohol consumption can reduce testosterone and disrupt sleep. We recommend no more than 1-2 alcoholic drinks daily, with alcohol-free days each week.
Making these simple enhancements while undergoing TRT creates powerful synergistic effects for feeling your best. Our staff provides the tools and tips to actualize your full potential.
To further assist your testosterone therapy success, here are useful Meridian-area establishments we recommend:
Sun Valley Spa – This relaxing retreat offers massages, soothing hydrotherapy treatments and yoga suitable before/after your TRT visits. Restore inner calm and reduce muscular tightness.

If blood tests show your testosterone levels are chronically deficient, the sooner you start treatment the better. Untreated low T allows symptoms to spiral downward, eventually leading to more complex health issues. That’s why timely testosterone therapy is so vital.
