Q. What is the TOTAL T CLINIC program? Geared specifically for those who suffer from a reduced quality of life due to age-related hormone changes and other imbalances, TOTAL T CLINIC’s program blends bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with improved nutrition and lifestyle modification to improve the symptoms associated with hormone imbalance.  

Q. What are bioidentical hormones? Bioidentical hormones function exactly like those we produce in our own bodies. They can be delivered in injectable solutions or topical creams.  

Q. Who produces the bioidentical hormones? TOTAL T CLINIC works with several certified compounding pharmacies that have been producing bioidentical hormones for over 20 years. These pharmacies compound pure pharmaceutical-grade ingredients into the specific dosage prescribed by your doctor.  

Q. Why do men need testosterone replacement? As men age, natural production of testosterone begins to decline, usually beginning in the early 30s. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for maintaining mental focus, energy, muscle mass, low body fat and sex drive. Testosterone therapy can restore your vitality and help reduce the symptoms of Low T.  

Q. At what age should Testosterone Replacement Therapy begin? Symptoms of hormone imbalance begin to manifest in our early 30s as our body’s natural hormones begin to decline. Testosterone Replacement Therapy can begin as soon as these symptoms interfere with life enjoyment.  

Q. Why doesn’t my doctor prescribe bioidentical hormones? Many doctors do not have the time or the resources to seek expertise in bioidentical hormone replacement. TOTAL T CLINIC’s doctors are trained in the field of anti-aging medicine and bioidentical hormone therapy and have years of practical experience.

Q. Can testosterone therapy help with stress? Unbalance hormones often lead to high levels of stress. Regulating hormones with bioidentical hormone therapy can help decrease stress and increase a sense of well-being.  

Q. Will testosterone therapy help with my low sex drive? Yes. Low libido is often the result of a testosterone deficiency accompanied by an increase in estrogen.  

Q. How long until I’ll see results? Some dramatic improvements can occur in as little as 14 days; however, the full effects of treatment build over several months. After your initial consultation, TOTAL T CLINIC’s doctors will continue to monitor and adjust your treatment to obtain optimal results. 

Q. Is TOTAL T CLINIC’s program a diet? No, but in addition to testosterone replacement therapy, our doctors may also assist in building weight loss, nutrition, strength and fitness plans.

Q. What should I expect at my first appointment? During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history to address both physical and emotional symptoms. Your history, along with simple lab work, will indicate whether you are suffering from andropause and can benefit from testosterone replacement therapy or from other appropriate treatments.  

Q. What happens after my test results come back? Once our doctors have reviewed your medical questionnaire and lab work, they’ll build a treatment plan. Many men decide to begin testosterone replacement therapy to treat their Low T. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, our doctors may also advise you on nutrition and lifestyle changes.  

Q. How long will treatment last? Unlike a single prescription written by a family doctor, realigning the body’s complex hormonal relationship can take time and varies for each individual. Our doctors will monitor you closely for signs of improvement, adjusting dosages if needed. Many patients notice improvement during the first month of treatment.  

Q. Does insurance cover your treatment program? No. Insurance is only accepted for weekly in-clinic visits.  

Q. Will your clinic assume my primary medical care? No. TOTAL T CLINIC will not replace your primary physician’s care; we supplement it. When appropriate, we will consult with your primary care physician.  

Q. How do I get my hormones tested? Total T Clinic is contracted with LabCorp and will help you set up a convenient, nearby lab draw.   

Q. Are there any side effects from Testosterone Therapy? We use Bioidentical Testosterone, which has the same molecular structure as the body’s naturally occurring hormones, so there are relatively few side effects. Possible side effects include increased hematocrit (blood “thickening”), edema (swelling) and/or acne; however, expert oversight, regular lab monitoring and correct dosing help control these symptoms.
