About Hormones

Our hormones are the essential chemical messengers of our bodies. They are part of the endocrine system, and play a vital information transportation role in many different biological processes in the body. One of the most important aspects of hormone interaction is balance. And, when our hormones are imbalanced, negative effects can occur.

Testosterone’s Role in the Body

One of the most important hormones in the male body is testosterone. It has numerous roles, including the following.

  • Sexual Characteristics – Testosterone is responsible for sexual development in both males and females. During puberty, it promotes the growth and maturation of reproductive organs, as well as the development of secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair in men and breast development in women. Testosterone sets the stage for our reproductive system to function optimally.
  • Muscle Mass – Testosterone contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass and bone density. It aids in the synthesis of proteins, which are the building blocks of muscles. Adequate testosterone levels help preserve muscle strength and prevent muscle wasting. 
  • Bone Density – Testosterone plays a vital role in bone health by stimulating bone mineralization and maintaining bone density. Low testosterone levels can lead to decreased muscle mass and increased risk of osteoporosis.
  • Cognition & Mood – Brain function and mood regulation are also influenced by testosterone. Studies have shown that testosterone levels affect cognitive abilities such as memory, verbal fluency, and spatial skills. Moreover, testosterone plays a role in mood regulation, with low levels potentially contributing to feelings of depression, irritability, and fatigue. 
  • Energy – Energy levels are closely tied to testosterone. Sufficient testosterone levels can enhance energy levels, vitality, and overall stamina. Conversely, low testosterone levels may result in fatigue and diminished motivation.

Testosterone Decline

Low testosterone can be something a person deals with all their life, a condition known as hypogonadism, or its depletion can happen gradually over time. As the aging process progresses, testosterone levels decline at a rate of 1% per year. (2)

Signs of Low Testosterone

  • Fatigue 
  • Low Libido 
  • Sexual Dysfunction
  • Weight Gain 
  • Insomnia
  • Muscle Loss 
  • Mood Swings 
  • Decreased Cognitive Function

What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a safe and effective treatment option that addresses hormonal imbalances in men. Unlike synthetic hormones, bio-identical hormones are derived from plant sources and have a molecular structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the body. This allows for better absorption and utilization, resulting in optimal benefits and minimal side effects.

Once you start BHRT, regular monitoring of hormone levels will be conducted to ensure that your treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs. Adjustments to the dosage or treatment approach may be made based on your progress and response to therapy.

At Evolved Medical, we are committed to helping our male patients achieve optimal health and vitality through personalized BHRT treatment options. Contact us today at (925) 433-8444 to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards restoring hormonal balance and reclaiming your vitality.

ED Treatment

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) is a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that offers hope to men struggling with sexual dysfunction. During a shockwave therapy session, high-frequency acoustic waves are delivered to targeted areas of the penis using a specialized device. These waves stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, enhance blood flow, and promote tissue regeneration. By addressing the root cause of erectile dysfunction, shockwave therapy offers long-lasting results and improved sexual performance.

PRP Shot for Men

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated component of your own blood that is rich in growth factors. These growth factors have the potential to stimulate tissue repair and rejuvenation when strategically injected into targeted areas. In the case of the PRP shot for men, PRP is injected into the penis to promote penile rejuvenation, improve erectile dysfunction, and enhance overall sexual function.
