At Thrive, it is common for Dr. Adam Maddox, a naturopathic aesthetic medicine specialist, to see male patients who have complaints that are often associated with the signs of aging. This may include reduced sexual desire, energy loss and fatigue, and poor memory and concentration. In many cases, this may be a result of lowered levels of testosterone. When patients visit Thrive, they can have a thorough assessment completed to determine their current hormone levels and find out if testosterone replacement therapy is appropriate for their specific needs.

What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is a hormone that is often referred to as the "male hormone" - it is a sex hormone that is produced by the testes and plays a part in the development of male sexual characteristics. It is responsible for certain characteristics including facial hair and a deep voice.

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy

1.Healthy Heart and Blood
2.Less Fat, More Muscle
3.Improved Mood
4.Stronger Bones
5.Better Libido

1.Healthy Heart and Blood

Patients who have low testosterone levels may be putting themselves at risk for a number of cardiovascular issues. Testosterone replacement therapy is known for helping increase red blood cell counts while also widening the coronary arteries.

2.Less Fat, More Muscle

When weight is controlled, patients will experience more energy to build muscle strength through exercise. Fat can build up all around the body. Men who are taking testosterone replacement therapy will experience significant reductions in the amount of fat on the body, especially in the arms, legs, and trunk area.

3.Improved Mood

Testosterone replacement therapy is known to increase one's overall mood, as well as sexual arousal and activity. The use of testosterone can help men who want to increase their sexual drive and performance, improving interpersonal relationships.

4.Stronger Bones

As men age and their testosterone level drops, they may be at a risk of reduced bone density, which can lead to weak bones from osteoporosis. Testosterone replacement therapy can increase bone dentistry, which supports internal organs, muscles, and athletic performance.

5.Better Libido

Thanks to the increase in sexual arousal and activity, many patients find that testosterone replacement therapy can boost both sexual desire and performance.

Dr. Adam Maddox and the team at Thrive work closely with patients to help them understand the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy. He can provide a proper diagnosis regarding the current levels of hormones and then develop a treatment program that allows patients to bring these hormones into balance and improve their overall health and wellness. Testosterone replacement therapy is available for men who are interested in improving their lives and enjoying it to the fullest!
