Assessment
Assessment includes evaluation of
- Energy, sleep, and stress patterns
- Libido and sexual health
- Exercise and recovery
- Digestion and metabolic health
- Mood and cognitive performance
Laboratory Testing
Comprehensive blood work is required prior to treatment. Testing evaluates total and free testosterone levels along with related markers that influence hormonal balance and metabolic health. Functional testing may be added when clinically appropriate.
Treatment decisions are based on both laboratory findings and clinical presentation.

Treatment Planning
If testosterone deficiency is confirmed, the patient is referred to the clinic’s in-house medical doctor and/or nurse practitioner. Therapy options may include intramuscular injections, transdermal creams, or hormone pellet procedures. The method selected depends on clinical findings, lifestyle factors, and patient preference.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring is a core component of the program. Blood work is repeated approximately every four months to assess treatment response and ensure safety. Testing evaluates testosterone and estradiol levels, hematocrit and red blood cell count (erythrocytosis risk), liver function, metabolic markers, and any potential side effects such as acne or hair changes.
Lab review appointments occur every four months to assess progress and adjust dosing as needed. Annual comprehensive blood work and physician evaluations are also required to maintain safe and appropriate treatment.
Integrated
Integrated Health Optimization
The TRT program includes broader health optimization strategies led by naturopathic physicians.
Recommendations may include personalized nutrition guidance, metabolic support, targeted nutraceutical supplementation, and lifestyle modifications addressing sleep, stress, and exercise.

- Reduced libido
