Testosterone isn’t just about sex drive or muscle mass. It’s a vital hormone that impacts your brain, bones, heart, mood, metabolism, and overall vitality. At Patients Medical in NYC, we take an integrative, functional medicine approach to understanding and optimizing testosterone levels naturally—whether you’re male or female.
We don’t just replace hormones. We find out why your levels are low—and help your body rebalance itself.

We use bioidentical forms—gels, creams, or pellets—monitored closely through lab testing and symptom tracking.
Yes, in many cases. Through lifestyle changes, nutrient support, and gut/hormone optimization, your body may recover its own testosterone production.
Absolutely. Low testosterone is linked to depression, anxiety, brain fog, and lack of motivation.
Strength training, in particular, helps stimulate natural testosterone production—especially when paired with proper recovery and sleep.
Most patients begin to feel results in 4–8 weeks, depending on the cause and treatment plan.
We are an out-of-network provider but offer superbills for reimbursement. Some lab testing may be partially covered.
