Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an effective treatment for men experiencing symptoms associated with low testosterone, also known as low T or hypogonadism. TRT can involve the use of testosterone injections, gels, patches or pellets to return testosterone levels to normal.
When properly diagnosed and monitored, TRT has been found to offer multiple benefits. These include increased energy and stamina, improved sexual function, enhanced mood and motivation, reduced body fat, increased muscle mass and strength, better sleep quality, sharper mental abilities, healthier cholesterol levels and stronger bones.

The range considered normal for testosterone levels has broadened over time as research and clinical evidence continue to advance. Current Endocrine Society guidelines suggest a testosterone level below 300 ng/dL clearly indicates hypogonadism. Levels between 300-400 ng/dL may require further assessment and testing.
Symptoms associated with low testosterone can include:
However, symptoms alone do not provide enough diagnostic information. A thorough physical exam, detailed health history, symptom questionnaires plus comprehensive lab testing are required for an accurate low T diagnosis.
Initial testing involves bloodwork to evaluate total and free testosterone, estradiol, liver function, prostate health, cholesterol levels and complete blood cell count.
Follow-up tests may check:
Properly diagnosing the cause of symptoms requires review by an experienced physician or nurse practitioner familiar with advanced hormone testing and interpretation. The practitioners at Renew Hormone Institute specialize in state-of-the-art diagnostics to uncover specific hormone deficiencies and optimal treatment options for lasting benefits.
After confirmation of clinically low testosterone, TRT therapy is started using one of several highly effective FDA-approved methods. Route of administration, dosing and schedule involve medical considerations and patient preferences.
Renew Hormone Institute customizes treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals through regular follow-ups and careful monitoring. We also provide ongoing patient education and support for lifestyle measures proven to enhance TRT treatment success.
Most men begin TRT treatment with testosterone cypionate or enanthate injections, typically administered every 7-10 days. This allows for steady testosterone release between doses. Positive effects may be noticed within several weeks with optimal benefits achieved in 3-6 months.
Applying testosterone to the skin with gels, creams or patches offers effective transdermal (through the skin) absorption.
Subcutaneous testosterone pellets implanted under the skin steadily release hormones over 3-6 months.
No matter which treatment option is best, we ensure therapy is supervised and monitored every step of the way until optimal hormonal balance and health goals are achieved.
Adhering to a testosterone-supportive lifestyle can enhance the safety and effectiveness of TRT therapy over both the short and long term. Renew Hormone Institute provides personalized recommendations and education on key lifestyle measures including:
Adopting positive lifestyle habits enhances progress patients experience with TRT therapy through Renew Hormone Institute’ evidence-based treatment plans.
