Testosterone Therapy

Bring Back The Way You Used To Feel

Talking about testosterone levels or “low T” can be a touchy subject for men of a certain age. Despite being produced in both men and women, testosterone is the hormone that controls the development and maintenance of male characteristics, including the growth of facial and body hair, bone and muscle mass, the deepening of the voice, libido and many other bodily functions. However, when testosterone levels begin to drop naturally with age or other health conditions, all of the functions the hormone regulates can start to suffer, along with a man’s sense of masculinity.

According to new research from the New England Research Institutes, as many as one out of every four men over the age of 30 have low testosterone levels, but only one out of 20 men displayed symptoms linked to testosterone deficiency. The survey tracked men aged 30 to 79 and compiled data based on factors such as testosterone levels, symptoms of testosterone deficiency and medications that may impact hormone levels. Based on their findings, researchers predict that by the year 2025, there may be as many as 6.5 million American men between the ages of 30 and 79 with symptomatic testosterone deficiency — a staggering 38 percent increase from the year 2000.

At Body Symmetry MD, many of our providers understand firsthand how detrimental the effects of low testosterone can be to your intimate relationships, self-esteem and quality of life. We also know that despite its prevalence, low testosterone is a condition that often goes undiagnosed and untreated in adult men. In fact, it’s estimated that only five percent of men with low testosterone are receiving testosterone replacement.

If you suspect you have low T and are experiencing adverse systems, now is the time to get your testosterone levels checked. Side effects of low testosterone can feel emasculating or be wrongly attributed to getting older, but you do not have to suffer these symptoms in silence. Low testosterone is a common condition that can be treated safely, effectively and affordably with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at Body Symmetry.

What Causes Low Testosterone?

The most common cause of low testosterone in men is the aging process. It is estimated that by the age of 30, testosterone production in men will decrease progressively by one percent each year. There are other potential reasons for low T, such as damage or malfunction of the testes or issues within the pituitary axis of the brain, but the condition rarely occurs in men under 30. The likelihood of men having low testosterone levels in their later years of life are high, but many are unaware that their symptoms are a result of low T or are too humiliated to seek solutions.

While low testosterone is frequently associated with problems in the bedroom, the condition can lead to a wide range of physical, psychological and sexual issues, including:
  • Low energy or fatigue
  • Cognitive difficulties and trouble focusing
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED)
  • Diminished libido
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Decreased muscle mass and reduced strength
  • Decreased bone mass
  • Insomnia or changes in sleep patterns
  • Increased body fat
  • Hair loss or thinning
Left untreated, low testosterone levels can put you at risk for more severe health conditions such as heart disease, osteoporosis and diabetes. Yet because of the sensitive nature of these concerns, many men are hesitant to ask their health care provider for help. If you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms, a simple blood test at Body Symmetry can help you determine if your testosterone production has fallen below a normal range.

Who Benefits From Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

TRT is prescribed to men whose testosterone levels have dropped below an optimal range to help restore and maintain health and well-being. Because the long-term health risks of TRT have not yet been established, it is critical that only those with confirmed low testosterone levels and low T symptoms undergo the therapy. TRT will not provide benefits to men whose testosterone levels fall within a healthy range.

The most common symptoms that lead men to seek TRT is a decreased or diminished sex drive and/or erectile dysfunction. While testosterone is not the only hormone that fuels sexual desire in men, low T can contribute to less satisfaction with sex, a lower libido and less frequent or firm erections. However, a low libido doesn’t necessarily mean you have low T; some men experience these symptoms due to other underlying health conditions. Your medical history and blood results will be carefully assessed by our hormone experts to determine if low T is the source of your issues before moving forward with the treatment.

What Are The Benefits Of Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Because every man’s low T levels and symptoms will vary significantly along with their TRT dosage, it is difficult to predict how they will respond to their treatment. Many men report improvements to their sex drive, quality of erections and overall energy levels, as well as better moods, increased muscle mass and increased bone density. Whether these effects will feel significant or barely noticeable will vary for each individual.

The key to successful TRT often relies on finding the right dosage for you. Our providers can adjust your TRT dose as necessary to ensure your testosterone levels are optimal. Most men will start to experience improvement in their symptoms within one to three months of starting TRT.

Busting The “Low T” Stigma

As many consider testosterone to be the hormone that makes men, men, it’s easy to understand how low testosterone levels can become a reflection of your masculinity, or a lack thereof. We live in a culture in which male sexuality and virility are deeply intertwined, and any hint of either of these qualities wavering can easily diminish your sense of self-worth or manliness.

It’s important to acknowledge that low testosterone is a very real health condition and does not make you any less of a man. If you are struggling with symptoms of low T, there are a number of things you can do along with TRT that can help you to break the negative stigma surrounding low testosterone, including:

1. Education
Men often feel better about having low T once they’ve learned more about the symptoms, prevalence and treatment options available to them. If you want to learn more about the effects of low testosterone or wish to have your levels tested, contact Body Symmetry today to schedule an in-person consultation.

2. Healthy Lifestyle
There are a handful of lifestyle changes you can implement to help alleviate your symptoms or even improve your testosterone levels. For example, if you are overweight, losing weight through a healthy diet and exercise is proven to raise testosterone levels. Establishing sleep patterns that allow you to get a good night’s rest each night can also help to combat fatigue.

3. Discussing Your Concerns
We know low T and its symptoms aren’t the easiest topics to bring up, but having an honest discussion with your significant other, friend or doctor about what you are going through can bring immense relief to the psychological elements of this condition. Normalizing low testosterone starts with men being forthright about their condition concerns.

My patients are patients, but they’re like family at the end of the day. I know about their lives and families. I want them to know they can trust us—because they can. We don’t care for sick people—we help people manage and stay well. I feel good when I leave work, because I know I’ve supported them.
Tabatha Gaston-Washington
We change people’s lives. It’s very rewarding. There’s nobody like you on the face of the planet. So you need a treatment program tailored to you. We are the gold standard of the industry. We love what we do. That not only translates into a high level of patient care. It also means a very high patient experience. Energy begets energy.
Nick Jones
I’ve been with Body Symmetry since they started. My personal experience is very cool. Great pricing. Easy to get in. I get honest, non-biased feedback from the doctors. It’s a journey to get to wellness. That journey starts with knowing where you are. This is the perfect place to start. I spent 30 years in fitness and bodybuilding. I have doctor friends all over the world. I know what I’m talking about. When I come to a place like Body Symmetry, and see the level where they’ve taken their services, that’s what I’m used to. These guys are first class.
Anthony Freeman
Dealing with Nick as well as Tabatha, they were key in putting my fears to rest. I can’t say enough about them. Go in with an open mind. Listen. They do take care of you. I was working with a trainer at the gym, but then I hit a wall. So I came to Body Symmetry. Fast forward to today: I have gained muscle and lost fat. I wanted to tone up. I have more energy. I sleep better. I have friends that come to me and notice that, “something’s different.” I look forward to the gym now. I have a trainer twice a week, but I go three times by myself.
Tom Koska
I wanted to make sure I was in safe hands. They made me feel like I’m family. It’s personal care. Personal attention. But there’s a level of personal responsibility you have. You have a plan and you have to stick with it. Definitely recommend Body Symmetry to friends and family—in fact, I have. They have come in and experienced what I have experienced as well. I was at a desperate place. From the moment I started talking to [Body Symmetry]. Sometimes you need that niche in life that will give you relief. I found that at Body Symmetry. There’s no other place I would go.
Clifford Eason
I was three years post-partum and had gained a lot of weight—about 90 pounds. I would lose the weight and gain it back. I came to Body Symmetry to get some guidance. Not just for weight but for hormonal balance. My experience has been nothing short of positive. My husband was a client before I was, and he gave me the push to come here. I was physically drained and looked worn down. I’ve felt better and better as it goes on. People tell me I don’t look my age, which is one of the best compliments a female can get.
Cassandra Busbee Holzberger
I was looking to lose weight and keep muscle on my body. Initially I started with a testosterone program, which was working great. Then I decided to try other programs at Body Symmetry. In the last year, I’ve dropped 40 pounds, in increments, so my body could adjust and assimilate. After turning 50, I was starting to feel my age. After starting with Body Symmetry, I was again feeling that vigor and usefulness. The greatest thing was my friends and family noticing and complimenting me.
Donald Williams
It was about being healthy. It was about being there for my five year old little girl. I wanted to become a better me every day. They tell you—here’s your bloodwork. Here’s your body type. Here’s the foods you need to eat and the ones you need to avoid. It’s customized to me. I don’t do diets. It’s a lifestyle. I’m 50 pounds lighter. I can do anything I want. Never take a break. I can match the energy of my little girl.
Jerry Harper
You worry you’re going to pay all this money and it may not work out. My experience with Body Symmetry has been amazing. The staff is wonderful. I would definitely recommend Body Symmetry to friends and family. I have a sister in New Mexico and she orders products. I had a lot of discoloration on my face. I just wanted to be able to eliminate that. I’ve seen a tremendous improvement in my skin. I’ve done Acoustic Lipo on my stomach and legs and I’ve seen big improvements with everything. I’m 100% satisfied.
Sharon Brito
I found Body Symmetry through a friend who recommended it. I was about to be 50 and wanted to lose a few pounds and tone up. My personal experience has been amazing. I lost the weight I wanted. People were telling me they could see a big difference. They did blood testing for me and knew where my hormones were and what I needed to reach my goals. Changes I’ve had in myself—I feel more confident. I feel like I look better in clothes. I’ve really felt healthy. I wasn’t as tired. I could just go.
Samantha Holmes
Great facility, great staff, and they really take good care of me. The way they do the labs here, you work with the doctor, and you get what you need. I understand exactly what I want to achieve. I discuss that with the staff. They look at my panels, my bloodwork, and design a program that’s specifically for me. I like to work out hard, and the staff knows that. So they design protocols specific for my body. I feel so strongly about Body Symmetry that I sent my own wife to them. I’m 55. I train hard. I was called an “animal” the other day by a twenty-something at the gym. My sleep has improved dramatically, which also helps your recovery. You’re able to train harder the next day. What’s really cool is that once they have your labs, we can talk through what’s happening, and change things if need. I really like these guys. They really take care of me.
John Rymer
I wanted to change everything about my appearance. Body Symmetry is like a second family for me. They really seem to care about me as a person. My relationship with everyone here is awesome. I was this overweight, nerdy guy who was really intimidated, but they made me feel comfortable. You have to have proper training, proper nutrition, and a proper mindset. There’s another element: hormone replacement—getting those levels back to where they need to be. I tell everybody about Body Symmetry. There’s no where I go that I don’t tell everybody. People ask me how old I am and how I got into the shape I’m in. I tell them to call Body Symmetry. I’ve always had hypertension. It’s steady normal range now. All the systems of my body are functioning better. The confidence on the mental side is incredible. I’m not used to the attention I get. Some of my goals since coming to Body Symmetry: becoming a competitive bodybuilder. That was a big change.
Ashley Williams
With Body Symmetry, we go on the inside and get everything balanced. This allows a chiropractor to come then and get better range of motion and better movement. It’s a good marriage between the two. We take a four dimensional approach to what we do: lifestyle, body analysis, bloodwork and lots of collaboration. The fourth dimension is a treatment program. What differentiates us is the comprehensive approach we take that is individualized. We have an arsenal of metabolic, hormonal, and weight loss treatments, and we’re trained on how to use them all. There’s nothing more rewarding than having a grown man come in and hug your neck and thank you for changing his life. As this type of wellness becomes more mainstream, the demand is there.
Anthony Brumfield
I wanted to lose weight. I felt bad. I wanted to feel good again, play with my kids, enjoy life. The staff here really treat you like family. They really get to know you and know your life. They treat the whole body. It’s been a great experience all around. I’ve lost 25 or 30 pounds. I don’t feel tired when I wake up. I’ve recommended Body Symmetry to about 14 people who’ve come here. I want everybody to benefit from this. Prior to coming here, I was ashamed. I was not myself. I wasn’t eating bad, but things were messed up in my body. They were able to identify that and fix it. You see the results pretty quick. Anthony truly goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and cared for. He’s really done a lot for me.
Carl Elliott
I was in really horrible shape when I came in. I had been working hard at the gym and trying to eat right on my own, and not seeing results. My experience with Body Symmetry has been life changing. They look at your specific needs, and come up with a plan to meet those specific needs. The reactions I’ve gotten from family and friends—and even random acquaintances—has been phenomenal. My energy levels have been through the roof. I feel like I’m in my 20s again. I have more confidence than I’ve ever had. I feel better about myself than I ever have. With the help of Body Symmetry, I feel like I’m ready to take on the world. I was putting in the work and not seeing results, so my trainer recommended coming to Body Symmetry and getting my hormone levels checked. That made the difference. I have a girlfriend now and it’s getting pretty serious. It’s a lot easier to love and care about other people when you love and care about yourself.
David East
Body Symmetry is lining you up hormonally. Chiropractic lines you up physically. The level of care once we added Body Symmetry here is absolutely enhanced. The bloodwork gives us the extra tool to up the care for patients. The peptides we have are amazing. They’re powerful and all natural. They improve weight loss, anxiety, sleeping. Truly my passion is helping people. It gets me so excited. The main reasons people come to Body Symmetry are no energy and no libido. We start with a seven-day core detox. Now we can start treating you with good medicine, then it’s off to the races. We find out your blood type, and we match foods to blood type. When you do these things, your machine starts running at a high level. It’s all mind and body. People have no idea how they’re connected for wellness. Once you can get someone past the initial hump, then their wellness just explodes. Once you dive in mentally, you start tapping into cellular energy.
Chad Reeves
The fear is always starting up a diet and losing weight and the weight coming back. It’s actually worked incredibly here to make a lifestyle change and keep the weight from coming back on. Going through the weight loss and hormone replacement and peptide protocols myself has allowed me to speak on those to other people and help them on their journey. I would highly recommend Body Symmetry to anybody. I have recommended both my sister and my husband here, and they both have lost 60-70 pounds. I’ve lost 60 pounds. The way I wake up in the morning and put my foot on the ground has changed completely. You’re ready to tackle the day. Chad will make sure everything you’re wanting is there. He’s always, always on it.
Jessica Reeves
One of the foundation principles of chiropractic is the study of health—what makes people live better and longer. We’re about finding issues before they become issues. With Body Symmetry, we can add an entire different protocol of health. We can address their entire human system. We can cure them by individual care. Body Symmetry gives us great systems that lets us help our patients like never before. Does it elevate our level of care? Absolutely. We have patients coming in with chronic conditions—arthritis, psoriasis, losing their hair. Before, we could only change their diet. Now we can give them peptides that slowly tell your body what to do. Then patients become more interested and involved in their own care. For 19 years, what brought people to us because of pain or discomfort. Now they come because they want to change their lives. It’s a simple thing. We work with every patient individually. We help YOU connect the dots. If you have anxiety or depression, you go get medication and it balances it chemically and nobody has a problem with that. There’s always a cliché about men taking hormones. I don’t take testosterone to get big. I take it because I want to be healthy. Physically and mentally, I’m 20 years younger than I am by age. Any team is only as good as its weakest link. When you come to Body Symmetry, there is no weak link. They’re an awesome team. They’re going to give you a push to help you get better.
Dr. George Brenau
We believe the body heals itself, and when you give it the best opportunity, it heals better. We have more tools to utilizes with patience, like peptides for healing and weight loss. It works better with what we do. As females age, they go to doctors to address hormones. Men don’t, and that’s one of the things we address. With the detox we do, we address people’s diets and inflammation. Inflammation just destroys your body. Taking that out, addressing food issues, people lose weight and are in a better state of healing, not just with chiropractic but with life in general. We address more than just chiropractic. We address the whole individual and issues that affect your whole well-being. We’re able to address more issues and help more people. People come here because they’re hearing results from other people. If that’s your goal and you want to help people, they’ll tell other people. People come to Body Symmetry for weight loss, hormone therapy, anti-aging, and just feeling better.
Dr. Eric Zigler
I chose Body Symmetry and it was very life changing. I have more energy. I have better health. I dropped 87 pounds. I feel better than did when I was 20. It saved my life, really. People see the change in me and they want it. We have a whole mess of people coming now. The individualized medicine I take is great. I don’t need a cup of coffee in the morning. I’m ready to go. Chad taught me how to do it, and after doing it myself, there’s nothing to it. When people see a picture of me before and one of me now, they want that, too.
