Testosterone levels usually decline with age, but this crucial hormone can dip sooner for some men. Many men are surprised that testosterone insufficiency affects over 40% of men over 45. Younger men are also affected. Roughly 25% of men aged 30-45 experience abnormally low testosterone. This figure rises dramatically for men above the age of 65.

No longer associated only with menopausal women, more men are turning to testosterone replacement therapy to restore sinking testosterone. Testosterone is a crucial hormone impacting everything from sleep quality to body fat distribution.
If you've noticed that you're getting a "spare tire" even though your diet and lifestyle haven't changed, it may be time to evaluate your hormones.

BHRT is more than just a testosterone replacement treatment. Dr. Singh and our team will work with you to balance your hormones, including testosterone, thyroid, and insulin.
Men with low testosterone levels can enhance their mineral density through HRT while minimizing bone fractures. Hip fractures kill more older men than women of comparable age.
Additionally, testosterone increases lean body mass and strength while decreasing fat mass. Many men report improvements in their body composition after treatment with HRT.
