Low testosterone (Low T) is a common condition that affects many men as they age. However, it can also occur in younger men due to a variety of factors, including lifestyle, stress, and medical conditions. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond simply addressing testosterone levels—we take a comprehensive approach to understand the root causes of Low T. Our integrative approach combines conventional treatments with natural therapies to restore testosterone levels and improve overall well-being.
We treat the whole person—not just the testosterone levels.
Testosterone is a vital hormone responsible for a wide range of functions in the body, including maintaining muscle mass, bone density, energy levels, mood, and sexual health. Low testosterone occurs when the body does not produce enough testosterone to support these functions.
While aging is the most common cause of low testosterone, several other factors can contribute to this condition. These include:
At Patients Medical, we utilize advanced diagnostics to understand the full scope of your Lyme disease infection and its impact on your health. We combine traditional testing with cutting-edge functional medicine assessments:
Managing your weight is essential for improving testosterone levels, as obesity can significantly impact hormone production. We offer medically supervised weight loss programs that can help reduce body fat and restore hormonal balance.
John, age 42, came to us feeling constantly fatigued, experiencing brain fog, and noticing a decrease in muscle mass. After testing, we found that his testosterone levels were significantly low. We developed a comprehensive 4-month treatment plan, which included:
After 4 months, John reported significant improvements in his energy, muscle mass, and mood. His testosterone levels returned to normal, and he felt more focused and motivated.
Low testosterone can be caused by aging, chronic stress, obesity, poor diet, sleep issues, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions.
Low testosterone is diagnosed through a blood test that measures total and free testosterone levels. Other tests may be used to assess hormone imbalances, thyroid function, and overall health.
Yes, through diet, lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and supplementation, many men can naturally support healthy testosterone levels. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may also be an option.
Symptoms include fatigue, decreased libido, muscle loss, increased body fat, cognitive issues, and mood changes such as irritability or depression.
TRT involves supplementing testosterone levels through injections, patches, gels, or pellets to restore balance and alleviate symptoms associated with low testosterone.
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.
