Testosterone is more than just a “male hormone”—it plays a critical role in energy, libido, muscle strength, mood, and overall wellness in both men and women. Yet millions live with symptoms of hormonal imbalance, often without realizing it.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a root-cause approach to hormone health, including testosterone. We combine functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, and natural therapies to restore balance—not just mask symptoms.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone primarily associated with male sexual characteristics, but it’s vital to many other biological functions. It’s produced in both male and female bodies, though in different amounts.
In Females: Small amounts are produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands.
In Both Genders: The adrenal glands (located above the kidneys) also produce a small amount of testosterone.
Testosterone levels decline naturally with age but can also drop prematurely due to stress, toxins, inflammation, and other root causes.
Signs you might have low testosterone include:
We look beyond numbers to uncover why your testosterone levels are low. Common contributors include:
We use comprehensive testing to evaluate your hormone health—not just a single blood test.
We design anti-inflammatory meal plans that support hormone production, blood sugar balance, and detox.
Custom IV infusions to replenish key nutrients and support adrenal and mitochondrial function.
Physician-guided supplementation based on labs:
For qualified patients, we may use:
John, Age 49, presented with fatigue, low libido, belly fat, and mood swings. His labs showed low free testosterone, high SHBG, and elevated cortisol. He’d previously been told his levels were “normal.”
We developed a 4-month plan including:
Results:
By month 4, John reported increased energy, improved libido, sharper focus, and 12 pounds lost—without synthetic drugs.
Symptoms like low libido, fatigue, and muscle loss are clues—but lab testing is essential for confirmation.
When properly monitored and prescribed, BHRT is safe and highly effective for many men and women.
Yes. Many patients recover using nutrition, lifestyle, herbs, and targeted supplements.
Absolutely. Women also need testosterone in small amounts for energy, libido, and mood.
For many people, yes—especially belly fat and muscle tone improve with hormone balance.
Yes, chronic stress increases cortisol levels, which can suppress testosterone production and exacerbate symptoms of Low T.
Improving diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, getting adequate sleep, and losing excess weight are key lifestyle changes that can support healthy testosterone levels.
TRT is generally safe when monitored by a healthcare provider, but it may have risks, including cardiovascular issues or prostate enlargement. Regular check-ups are important during treatment.
Many men notice improvements in energy, mood, and sexual health within a few weeks of starting testosterone replacement therapy. Full benefits may take a few months.
If left untreated, low testosterone can lead to further complications such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Early intervention is key to preventing these issues.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
