Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment used to restore low testosterone levels to a normal, healthy range. It is designed for individuals diagnosed with hypogonadism (low T) who are experiencing symptoms that affect quality of life.

TRT may be suitable for people with clinically low testosterone and symptoms such as:

• Fatigue and low energy
• Low libido or erectile dysfunction
• Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
• Depressed mood, irritability, or brain fog
• Weak bones or low bone density

At Nu Health Wellness, TRT is offered to men and women with confirmed low levels, as well as those seeking athletic performance enhancement.

• Improved libido and sexual function
• Increased energy and reduced fatigue
• Better mood, sharper focus, and improved cognition
• Increased muscle mass and strength
• Reduced body fat
• Stronger bones and reduced osteopenia/osteoporosis risk

Common side effects:

• Acne or oily skin
• Mild swelling (water retention)
• Breast tenderness or enlargement
• Testicular shrinkage

Serious risks:

• Infertility: TRT suppresses natural sperm production.
• Blood Clots: Elevated red blood cell count increases clot risk.
• Sleep apnea worsening (if already present)
• Prostate concerns: Avoid TRT with active prostate cancer.

• Anyone with prostate or breast cancer
• Severe untreated sleep apnea
• Severe heart failure
• High red blood cell count (polycythemia)
• Men planning biological children soon

• Injections: Most common; usually every 1–2 weeks.
• Topical gels: Applied daily, but require caution to avoid skin transfer.
• Patches: Applied daily with steady absorption.
• Pellets: Inserted under the skin every 3–6 months.

Nu Health Wellness uses injections, gels, or patches based on lab-guided protocols.

Most patients notice improvements in mood and energy within 3–6 weeks. Body composition changes develop over the following months.

The TRT program typically includes:

• Initial consultation + lab work
• Personalized treatment plan from a provider
• Regular follow-up labs (3 and 6 months, then yearly)
• Monitoring of testosterone, hematocrit (RBC), and PSA

Yes. TRT reduces sperm production. Alternatives like Enclomiphene can increase testosterone levels while preserving (or improving) fertility by stimulating natural hormone production.

Nu Health Wellness offers a 3-month starter kit at $45/month plus a one-time consultation fee of $50.

TRT is typically a long-term, often indefinite therapy. It treats the symptoms of low testosterone but does not cure the underlying cause. If stopped, levels return to baseline and symptoms usually return.

No. TRT dosing must be individually determined based on lab work, age, weight, symptoms, and medical history. Using an incorrect dose can be dangerous. Always follow your provider's prescription.
