Many men face health issues as they age that can significantly impact their quality of life. These may include low testosterone levels, erectile dysfunction, loss of strength and energy, weight gain, and mental health problems like depression. Timely treatment of these issues through hormone therapy and lifestyle changes can help men feel youthful, energetic, and healthy again.
The first step is getting tested to check hormone levels. Primary care physicians can order blood tests to measure testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid, and other hormones. However, finding a clinic specializing in anti-aging and hormone therapy is advisable to correctly interpret results and determine an optimal treatment protocol.
At the Rejuvenate Clinic, our physicians have over 15 years of experience in age management medicine and optimizing hormone levels for total wellness. We provide cutting-edge testing and treatments to help men regain their vitality.
Balancing hormone levels has been clinically proven to:
Testosterone therapy, in particular, can transform men's health as they age by alleviating distressing signs and symptoms of low testosterone levels, such as fatigue, weight gain, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and depression.
There are several safe and effective methods to boost hormones like testosterone. Popular options include:
| Treatment | Description |
|---|---|
| Testosterone injections | Directly restore testosterone levels by injecting bioidentical testosterone 1-2 times per week |
| Testosterone gels | Transdermal gels provide a daily dose of testosterone by absorption through the skin |
| Testosterone pellets | Pellets implanted under the skin slowly release testosterone over 3-6 months |
| HGH injections | Injections of human growth hormone 2-3 times per week build muscle, burn fat, and enhance cellular repair |
| Sermorelin acetate | Stimulates natural HGH production for anti-aging benefits and improved sleep |
Rejuvenate Clinic physicians will help determine which option(s) are best suited for each patient based on lab results, medical history, lifestyle, and preferences.

| Myth | Fact |
|---|---|
| Hormone therapy is unsafe and causes side effects or health risks | When properly administered and monitored by an age management physician, hormone therapies have excellent safety profiles based on decades of research. |
| Hormone declines are a normal part of aging | Declining hormone levels correlate strongly with many signs of aging. Balancing hormones has been proven to alleviate these and promote wellness. |
| The benefits of testosterone therapy don't last over time | Clinical studies show testosterone's therapeutic benefits are sustained when it is continually delivered in adequate dosages adjusted based on regular blood testing. |
| There is no way to boost HGH levels without injections | Secretagogues like sermorelin stimulate the pituitary gland to increase natural HGH production for anti-aging and health benefits. |
There have been major advances in the formulations and delivery methods of both testosterone and HGH to make balancing hormone levels more convenient and personalized to each patient. Testosterone can now be taken orally in capsule, buccal tablet, or sublingual troche form. Topical preparations like gels and fast-drying solutions can provide customizable daily dosing through skin application. Injections remain an efficacious option, but needle sizes are now much smaller for minimized discomfort.
HGH therapy has also seen innovations for easier use. Oral sprays and secretagogue capsules stimulate pituitary release of natural growth hormone. Rapid-dissolve tablets allow for sublingual HGH absorption. Next-generation pen injectors have replaced old syringe methods for easier, less painful application.
| Formulation | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Injections | Most effective at restoring testosterone levels; longer-lasting; minimal skin irritation | Injections can be uncomfortable for some; potential peaks and valleys in levels between doses |
| Gels | Easy to apply and adjust daily doses; steady absorption and consistent levels | Potential transference to partner or children via skin contact; skin irritation possible |
| Pellets | Long-lasting with no need to take medication for months | Insertion and removal of pellets require minor office-based procedures every few months |
| Oral capsules | Easy to take; adjustable doses | Can be harsh on the liver long-term; absorption through the digestive tract is inefficient |
Starting a hormone balancing protocol can produce great benefits on its own. However, making certain lifestyle adjustments will enhance and accelerate your improvements in energy, body composition, sexual function, and overall wellness. Follow these best practices:
Nutrition: Focus your diet on high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and vegetable carbs while minimizing sugars, refined grains, and processed foods. Stay well-hydrated every day. Avoid excess caffeine and alcohol, which can undermine hormone therapy effects.
Exercise: Incorporate a balanced fitness regimen of resistance/strength training along with moderate aerobic activity 4-5 days per week. Building muscle amplifies the benefits of testosterone for fat loss and metabolic rate increases.
Sleep: Get 7-9 hours of deep, uninterrupted sleep each night by maintaining a consistent bedtime routine. Balancing hormones like testosterone enhances sleep quality for optimal restorative health benefits. Prioritize stress management too for better sleep and hormone functioning.
Supplements: Certain vitamins and nutrients, such as zinc, magnesium, D3, and K2, further support robust hormone synthesis and utilization for amplifying treatment effects. Ask our clinic about scientifically validated formulations.
By fine-tuning these lifestyle factors, our patients achieve much more profound improvements from optimized hormone levels. Diet, activity, stress, and other modifiable behaviors strongly influence treatment outcomes.
Hormone imbalances and deficiencies correlate strongly with mental health issues like depression, reduced motivation, and lack of enjoyment in life. Restoring hormones has clear psychological benefits.
As the hormone most associated with sex drive and function in men, testosterone also plays a crucial role in regulating factors such as libido, erectile function, orgasm and ejaculation, fertility and sperm health, and general intimacy and relationship satisfaction.
Research indicates testosterone therapy effectively alleviates depression while also improving libido, erectile function, and frequency of sexual activity. The mental and emotional effects restore confidence, motivation, and overall happiness.
Hormone balancing therapies, combined with lifestyle optimization, offer a comprehensive approach to prolonging healthspan and promoting longevity. By correcting hormone deficiencies, these treatments can effectively slow, stop, or even reverse aspects of aging by influencing the expression of longevity genes, stimulating new cell formation and growth, reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, and optimizing protein functioning and mitochondrial efficiency.
At Rejuvenate Clinic, we specialize in scientifically validated anti-aging treatments, including precision balancing of crucial hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and DHEA, to help men remain vigorously healthy and active at any age.
