The signs of low testosterone include

• Low Libido/Sex Drive
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Unexplained Fatigue
• Poor Sleep
• Mental Fog
• Bouts of Depression
• Hair Loss
• Weight Gain
• Loss of Muscle Mass
• Slower Workout Recovery
• Low Self-Confidence

Many men have reported the following results after starting TRT:

• • Greater Libido and Overall Sexual Function
  • Decreased Erectile Dysfunction
  • Increased Muscle Mass
  • Improved Cognition and Mood
  • Boost in Energy
  • Lower Cholesterol Levels

Typically, it takes about two weeks for the body to accumulate sufficient supplemental testosterone to begin showing results. However, for certain men, it may take several months to feel the full benefits of TRT. Many TRT patients report increased energy, improved focus, and better memory among the first benefits they experience.

When TRT is prescribed and monitored properly, it is considered safe. While there is no proof that testosterone causes cancer, if someone has preexisting prostate cancer, TRT may cause it to grow faster. It is crucial to undergo a prostate exam and serum PSA test before beginning therapy, and to regularly monitor prostate health and PSA levels.

Our providers do not recommend TRT for those who have active cancer (breast, hormone-activated, prostate, testicular, etc.).  However, a person may be eligible to receive TRT after completing successful treatment.

Typically, the people who should avoid using a testosterone replacement program are those who have experienced:

• Prostate or breast cancer
• Severe urinary tract symptoms related to prostatic hypertrophy
• Severe congestive heart failure
• PSA elevations that are unexplained
• Hyperviscosity
• Obstructive sleep apnea

We offer two options for testosterone therapy:

• Testosterone Injection
• Testosterone Topical Cream

Our TRT program requires a 3-month commitment. Hormone optimization is not an overnight process. It takes commitment, nutritional, and dietary changes to reach optimal wellness. You will have the option to pay monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, or for 12 months.

Your initial visit, called the “Deep Dive Session,” involves a detailed discussion with Dr. Beatty, CRNP. He will review your lab results with you to understand your overall health’s impact on your hormone levels. In this session, you’ll discuss treatment options, wellness strategies, and plan your care. By the end of this hour-long appointment, you’ll have a clear understanding of our TRT program, know what to expect moving forward, and feel closer to achieving your best self. All your questions will be thoroughly answered.

Blood work will be completed monthly for about 3 months and then every 6 months thereafter. Monitoring your hormone levels with blood tests is a very important component of safe and effective treatment.

We do not accept insurance for hormone optimization services. This is because True Phoenix focuses on optimizing hormone levels instead of following “normal” ranges,  which dictates how insurance companies pay. We provide personalized packages that focus on your utmost well-being. You are welcome to use your insurance benefits for laboratory testing.

We offer several alternative payment methods, such as AfterPay, CareCredit, Cherry Payments, HSA/FSA, credit, and debit cards for our hormone optimization services.

Ideally, we like to draw all the labs at the same time. However, if you have recent labs within the last 60 days, we can use them and draw any additional tests, if needed.

No, we would have to provide all aspects of your hormone therapy, or none at all. The reason is that we cannot make adjustments to what they are providing you, making it difficult to balance your levels. If you are currently on treatment with your doctor and want to transition your treatment to our clinic fully, that is an option. However, your hormone therapy must come from one place or the other, not both.

You should make the best decision for yourself. If you would like to follow your doctor’s recommendations and medical advice regarding hormone therapy, we will create a discharge plan from our program so that you can be in compliance with their care. Remember, you must always be your biggest advocate.
