Testosterone replacement/restorative therapy

Testosterone affects energy levels, our motivation and drive, overall mood, sex drive, lean muscle, and body composition. As we age, in both men and women, testosterone levels will decline. More importantly it is at what age and how rapid of a decline that seems to be responsible for many symptoms and issues. If medically appropriate, restoring or optimizing testosterone levels can improve and likely resolve symptoms associated with low testosterone. No matter your age, everyone deserves to have our bodies and mind operating at peak performance. Safely and effectively optimizing your testosterone level may be solution

Sexual dysfunction can have many associated symptoms, issues, or concerns for both men and women.
