About Hormone Replacement Therapy for Men

Hormone replacement therapy involves supplementing the body with hormones to address deficiencies. Evolved Medical offers a range of HRT options, including bioidentical hormone therapy, testosterone therapy, thyroid therapy, and growth hormone peptides, each designed to address specific aspects of hormonal imbalance. An imbalance in hormones can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms. Some of these symptoms might include, but are not limited to, the following:

While some men simply shrug these symptoms off as part of the natural aging process, these symptoms–in many cases–can be treated with the right hormonal correction therapy. If you are looking for professional treatment for your hormonal issues, you may be eligible for one of Dr. Rajguru’s hormonal replacement therapies which have helped countless men improve their well-being.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is considered a more natural approach to tackling the symptoms of hormonal imbalance when compared to other forms of hormonal replacement therapy. It uses hormones that are derived from plants that mimic the hormones produced by the body. Bioidentical hormones are metabolized by the body in the same way as natural hormones, which means they offer a more gentle and effective approach to hormone replacement. ⁽¹⁾

Testosterone Therapy

Testosterone is crucial for maintaining energy, muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and sexual function. ⁽²⁾ As men age, their testosterone levels naturally tend to decline, leading to a variety of unpleasant symptoms. The low testosterone treatments offered by Dr. Rajguru involve a comprehensive lab panel to test your testosterone levels. Once this is completed, assuming you are deemed an eligible candidate, you will receive testosterone to increase your body’s testosterone levels. This can be done via injections, pellet therapy, or topical therapy.

Growth Hormone Peptide Therapy

Growth hormone (GP) peptides are a form of treatment that restores human growth hormone (HGH) levels in the body. This treatment usually restores HGH through a series of subcutaneous injections, as this method of treatment helps reach the bloodstream faster, but it can also be administered orally. HGH levels are essential to your body’s repair system, and restoring improper HGH levels is associated with improved workouts, deeper sleep, an increase in lean muscle mass, and a decrease in body fat in aging men. ⁽⁴⁾

Thyroid Therapy

The thyroid is responsible for producing many of the body’s hormones and is essential for regulating your metabolism. If your thyroid is not working properly, it can lead to a variety of symptoms such as weight gain and fatigue. ⁽³⁾ During your consultation, Dr. Rajguru will determine whether or not you are a candidate for thyroid therapy.

Benefits

Hormonal imbalances can have a serious negative impact on your day-to-day life, and as such, hormone replacement therapy can provide seemingly countless benefits to men that are both mental and physical. Some of the potential benefits might include, but are not limited to, the following:

Physical benefits such as an increase in energy and strength alongside the potential mental benefits of elevating mood, cognitive function, and sex drive are all attainable through hormone replacement therapy. Taking back your health and liveliness can potentially give you the boost in confidence you need to take on the world like you did in your prime years.

Preparation

Preparation for hormone replacement therapy will look different for each individual, as each treatment plan is personalized. Most of the treatment methods are considered minimally invasive, so they do not entail a lengthy preparation process like other treatments or procedures often do. You may, however, be asked to undergo comprehensive examinations to ensure you are an ideal candidate for hormone replacement therapy.

Procedure

Each hormone replacement therapy treatment will look different depending on the individual and the type of treatment received. Some treatment methods involve injections, while others might require oral medications or certain procedures. Dr. Rajguru will recommend which treatment method he feels is best based on the patient’s health profile and treatment goals.

Dr. Rajguru and his team are more than confident that they can help you restore your vitality through hormone replacement therapy, leaving you feeling like a new man who is ready to conquer life’s challenges.

Results

The timetable for noticing results will differ for each individual. In most cases, patients will notice an increase in energy levels, mood, and libido almost immediately, depending on the type of treatment they receive. Over several months, the increases in energy levels and performance might lead to some individuals experiencing noticeable improvements in strength and muscle mass. Many also enjoy enhanced cognitive function as time progresses. In the long term, patients often notice an overall increase in mental health and quality of life as they begin to reap the full benefits of hormone replacement therapy.
