What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Testosterone, a vital hormone in men, plays a significant role in maintaining muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, and sexual function.

However, as men age, their testosterone levels tend to decline, leading to negative side effects. 

When your body fails to produce the sufficient testosterone it needs, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) helps bring your hormone levels back to a normal range, alleviating symptoms and improving your overall well-being.

But, what does TRT do, exactly? What are the symptoms of optimized testosterone? Keep reading to find out.

How Does Oral TRT Work?

TRT comes in various forms, but one of the most effective methods is oral capsules. Oral TRT uses specially formulated capsules that are designed for efficient absorption.

Once you swallow the capsule, the testosterone is released and enters your bloodstream through the lymphatic system. This process bypasses the liver and delivers the testosterone directly where it’s needed in your body. 

This helps to restore your hormone levels to their optimal range, counteracting the effects of low testosterone.

We’re here to remind you: You don’t have to settle for anything less than your best.

Who Is TRT For?

Testosterone levels typically peak during adolescence and early adulthood and then gradually decline with age—it’s just an unfortunate fact of biology. 

After the age of 30, men often experience a 1% to 2% decrease in testosterone levels per year. 

This natural decline is a normal part of the aging process. For some, it may lead to negative symptoms (such as brain fog, fatigue, and even muscle loss) and health issues that warrant intervention through TRT.¹

TRT is most commonly prescribed for middle-aged and older men who are experiencing symptoms related to low testosterone

However, other men who are looking to reclaim the vitality of their younger selves can benefit from the improved energy and mood TRT provides.

Potential Risks of TRT

In terms of pre-existing medical conditions, how does TRT affect the body? 

It’s important to note that men with certain health issues should exercise caution with TRT. 

It may worsen conditions like prostate cancer, untreated sleep apnea, severe lower urinary tract symptoms, and untreated cardiac or liver diseases.

What Does TRT Do to the Mind and Body?

TRT can have positive effects on both physical and mental health, including:

Mental Health and Mood

One of the key areas TRT impacts is mental health. Individuals with low testosterone levels may experience symptoms like depression, anxiety, and irritability. 

However, when you start TRT, it helps restore hormonal balance and can alleviate these mood-related challenges.

Cognitive Function

The relationship between TRT and cognitive function is an area of ongoing research. However, there is evidence to suggest that TRT can have positive effects on certain cognitive aspects. 

For instance, testosterone has been linked to improved spatial ability, memory, and executive function. 

When TRT is administered to individuals with low testosterone levels, they may experience improved cognitive function and overall well-being.²

Muscle Mass and Strength Improvements

Testosterone plays a role in developing and maintaining lean body mass, as testosterone levels can lead to a decline in muscle strength and size. 

TRT helps to restore these levels, allowing for improved muscle synthesis and, consequently, increased muscle mass and strength. 

This can lead to better physical performance and overall functional capacity, making daily activities easier.³

Bone Density and Fracture Risk Reduction

When testosterone levels are low, bone density can decrease. This increases the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. TRT can help restore hormonal balance, promoting bone remodeling and improving bone mineral density. 

This reduction in fracture risk can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals, particularly as they age and become more susceptible to bone-related injuries.

Fat Distribution and Weight Management

Low testosterone levels have been associated with increased body fat, particularly in the abdominal region. TRT can help regulate fat distribution by promoting the breakdown of fat cells and inhibiting their formation. 

This can lead to leaner body composition and improved body weight management.

Sexual Function and Libido Enhancement

Testosterone plays a role in sexual function and libido. When testosterone levels are low, it can lead to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and other sexual issues. 

TRT helps restore hormone balance, allowing for improved sexual function and increased feelings of desire—so you can show up for yourself and your partner, both in and out of the bedroom.

Energy Levels and Vitality

TRT helps combat fatigue and a lack of energy, common symptoms of low testosterone levels, by restoring hormonal balance and promoting increased energy levels.

Cardiovascular Health

Testosterone plays a complex role in cardiovascular health. While some studies have suggested a link between TRT and an increased risk of cardiovascular events, more recent research indicates that TRT can positively impact cardiovascular health. 

TRT can improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and enhance blood flow, contributing to a healthier cardiovascular system.

Metabolic Health and Diabetes Risk Reduction

Low testosterone levels have been associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. 

TRT can positively impact metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing body fat, and increasing lean body mass, reducing the risk of developing diabetes and other metabolic conditions.
