TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medical treatment option for clients who are experiencing low testosterone levels caused by age, hypogonadism, and other medical conditions having a negative impact on everyday life.
TRT works by replenishing testosterone with the use of bioidentical, naturally-derived hormones to restore your testosterone balance. Palm Beach Health Works offers testosterone replacement therapy treatments in the form of injections or topical creams, based on the needs of the client.

Who Needs TRT?
TRT is often prescribed for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone.
Men go through hormonal imbalances and dysfunctions just like women do, and hormone replacement therapy using testosterone is a practical solution for reducing or eliminating the symptoms of andropause, often referred to as “male menopause”. These will include irritability, depression, fatigue, decreased libido, muscle weakness, and sexual dysfunction in the form of erectile dysfunction and a lack of stamina.
Hormone therapies for men use testosterone to treat a variety of health issues including low energy, sexual dysfunction, lack of muscle mass and weakness, emotional symptoms, hypogonadism and other andropause-related conditions:

Hormone therapies for men use testosterone to treat a variety of health issues including low energy, sexual dysfunction, lack of muscle mass and weakness, emotional symptoms, hypogonadism and other andropause-related conditions:
Sexual Health Issues
Testosterone replacement therapy can be an effective solution for addressing sexual and reproductive function.
Decreased Libido
As men age, their sex drive may slow down resulting in a significant lack of sexual desire. Testosterone therapies can restore interest in sex and increase libido to levels where it was before.
Erectile Dysfunction
Men who have low testosterone may experience periodic or chronic erectile dysfunction. Hormone therapies can replenish both erectile function and quality without the use of prescription medications.
Decreased Energy
Symptoms of chronic fatigue are recognizable by a decrease in energy and persistent exhaustion. A noticeable reduction in endurance and stamina can result in a loss of interest in routine daily activities. These can be signs of low testosterone and hormone replacement therapy can help.
Muscular Health
A loss of muscle mass and an inability to improve strength are typical as men age. Muscle weakness and a reduction in growth are indicators of poor muscle health and testosterone therapy can reduce these symptoms and increase strength and muscle growth
Mood Disorders
Testosterone therapy can have a positive impact on men who are suffering with symptoms of anxiety, depression, irritability, and a lack of energy and spark. These can all be signs of low testosterone and hormone therapy treatments can reverse these symptoms.

Are You a Good Candidate for Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Men who have the following health conditions are NOT good candidates for this treatment:
- Breast or prostate cancer
- Polycythemia which increases the risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack
- Severe sleep apnea
- Cardiovascular disease
- Liver or kidney disease
- Plans to conceive
Testosterone Replacement Therapy Risks
Like any other treatment regimen, there are benefits and risks associated with receiving this type of therapy. The following are some of the most common:
- Polycythemia: A condition in which red blood cell production is increased, which can result in the thickening of the blood, presenting a higher risk of blood clots.
- Prostate Health: TRT therapy may stimulate benign prostate growth, which does not increase your risk of prostate cancer; however, it may accelerate pre-existing cancer growth.
- Sleep Apnea: Clients with sleep apnea may experience an increase in the severity of symptoms or possibly reveal the existence of the condition when the client was not enduring symptoms previously.
- Infertility: TRT can suppress the natural processes of testosterone and sperm production.
Lifestyle Changes with Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Alongside TRT treatments, clients who implement lifestyle changes can improve their testosterone levels in the following ways:
- Diet: Your daily intake of vitamin D, zinc, and healthy fats can have an impact on testosterone.
- Exercise: Routine physical activity and resistance training can increase testosterone.
- Sleep: Poor sleep or insufficient sleep can have a variety of detrimental health impacts and has been shown to reduce testosterone levels. Getting seven to eight hours of sleep per night can have multiple benefits for your testosterone levels.
- Stress Reduction: Routine stress can dramatically reduce your cortisol levels, which can decrease testosterone production.
Testosterone Replacement Treatment Method Options
Palm Beach Health Works offers clients a choice of options for administering TRT treatments. We use injections and topicals as the most effective TRT treatment methods. The symptoms and health objectives of the client will play a significant role in determining which method of treatment is the best fit.
TRT Injectables
Short-acting and long-acting injections are available with various dosing options. This type of method can be used in different treatments at weekly and bi-weekly doses, as well as less comprehensive dosing routines at every 8-10 weeks of administering the hormone via injection. This type of treatment method is both cost-effective and can increase testosterone at an accelerated rate with carefully optimized dosing regimens.
TRT Topical Creams
Best suited to clients for whom a dosing regimen with cream is the most effective treatment
solution, this alternative is a topical medication that can be applied daily to the
shoulders, the abdomen, or the upper arms, based on the needs of the client.
This type of treatment method is easy to use and stabilizes testosterone levels for the
long-term. But if this option is chosen, topicals make it easier to transfer the hormone
through skin contact, so it’s important to allow the cream to dry completely before
interacting with others.
The Palm Beach Health Works Treatment Process
Each client has his or her own unique testosterone replacement therapy needs and objectives. That’s why we create a carefully customized treatment regimen for each and every client. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to successful TRT treatment plans. The process starts with an initial consultation with one of our medical experts who will discuss your present symptoms, your medical history, and your goals for TRT treatment. Once the consultation is complete, the treatment process is as follows:
Our team of medical experts will create a full health evaluation to measure your present hormone levels, diagnose your testosterone imbalances, and create a personalized testosterone replacement therapy regimen.
In some cases, we work with third-party diagnostic labs like Quest to perform a blood test which can help us determine your current testosterone challenges and better assist us in managing your imbalances to restore your testosterone to the appropriate levels
