Recover your testosterone
Discover the benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for men with testosterone deficiency. Some Men find that they regain confidence, vitality, improve muscle mass and bone density, enhance libido, and boost energy levels. With diet and lifestyle changes, it can even help reverse type 2 diabetes.
Recognising the Signs of Low Testosterone
As men age, their testosterone levels typically decline after the age of 30. While this decrease goes unnoticed in some, others may experience significant symptoms such as lethargy, low mood, depression, reduced libido, brain fog, anxiety and erectile dysfunction.
Understanding and addressing these changes can significantly improve one's quality of life.

Take Control of Your Hormonal Health
Understanding your testosterone levels is key to optimising your well-being. We provide simple and effective tools to help you gain insights into your hormonal health. Levels fluctuate throughout the day, so we recommend taking your blood tests between 0700-1100 in the morning to get a look at your levels when they're at their highest. It's also important to consider other factors that may have influenced your testosterone levels (recent illness, medications, significant sleep disruption).
Primary hypogonadism (PH) results from testicular dysfunction, being characterised by low testosterone and raised LH and FSH, and can be reliably diagnosed. PH isn't very common but affects 1–2% of older men. It's associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoporosis.
Secondary hypogonadism (SH), sometimes called central hypogonadism, will demonstrate low testosterone with low / normal LH and FSH levels. SH is caused by dysfunction of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. It is important to exclude haemochromatosis in these people and assess serum ferritin and pituitary hormone profile (serum prolactin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones). An MRI of he head or potentially the pituitary may be needed in some of these patients.
Most of the testosterone in the blood is bound to sex hormne binging globulin (SHBG), which makes it inactive. Only a small fraction exists as "free testosterone," which is biologically active and can enter cells to exert its effects around the body. You can use these unit conversion tools below to understand how much free testosterone you have. This can have an influence on treatment. Some blood tests don't include this separately but you can use the "free testosterone calculator' below. Men with a body fat percentage or insulin resistance may have a very low SHBG.
Understanding the Potential Side Effects of TRT
Once starting to treat testosterone deficiency, regular monitoring is essential to manage potential side effects like acne or increased red blood cell count. It's also important to monitor your blood pressure.
Your clinician will ask you about symptoms relating to prostate health: How many times do you pass urine at night, is there any dribbling when you have finished passing water? You will also have a blood test that will monitor prostate health.
Historically there was concerns about an association with prostate cancer and men being treated TRT, however there is now good evidence that there is no association, however if you are on treatment you will be having regular blood tests.
Testosterone deficiency can negatively impact your fertility. It is worth considering this prior to starting treatment. HCG is a medication (unlicensed) that can be used to support fertility.
