What is hormone therapy for men?
 
Hormone therapy for men is a medically supervised treatment that helps restore balance when testosterone or other hormone levels decline. As men age, it's natural for testosterone levels to decrease, but when that drop leads to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, low libido, mood changes, or mental fog, it may be a sign of Low T (low testosterone) or other hormonal imbalances.

What kinds of hormone therapy support do men need?
 
Men’s hormone needs evolve over time, and hormone therapy is designed to address those changes with personalized, medically guided care. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline, but for some, that drop leads to symptoms that affect daily life—such as low energy, weight gain, reduced libido, irritability, or mental fog. These signs may point to Low T or other hormonal imbalances that deserve attention and treatment.

In their 30s and 40s, many men begin noticing subtle shifts in performance, mood, and vitality. As they move into their 50s and beyond, symptoms can become more pronounced, impacting quality of life, muscle strength, heart health, and mental clarity. Hormone therapy offers support during these transitions—helping men regain balance, motivation, and a renewed sense of wellness.
 
At Real Nurturing Family Practice, hormone therapy for men is never one-size-fits-all. We begin with comprehensive lab testing and provide a treatment plan tailored to your specific levels, symptoms, and lifestyle. Therapy may include bio-identical testosterone (via pellet, injection, or cream), supplements, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safe, effective results.
 
Your health and vitality matter at every stage. We're here to help you feel strong, focused, and like yourself again.

Common questions about hormone therapy for men:
 
What’s the difference between pellets and patches?

• Pellets are small, bio-identical hormone implants placed just beneath the skin (usually in the hip or glute area) during a quick in-office procedure. They steadily release testosterone over 3–6 months, offering consistent levels without the need for daily attention.

• Patches, on the other hand, are applied topically and must be replaced daily or every few days. They can sometimes cause skin irritation and may result in fluctuating hormone levels due to external factors like sweat, heat, or adhesion issues.
   

How long does it last?

• Pellets: Typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on your metabolism, activity level, and dosage.

• Injections: Usually administered weekly or bi-weekly.

• Topical treatments (patches, gels): Must be applied daily for consistent results.
   

What are the signs I may need hormone therapy?
You may benefit from hormone therapy if you're experiencing:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Decreased libido or sexual performance

• Mood swings, irritability, or mild depression

• Reduced muscle mass or strength

• Difficulty focusing or “brain fog”

• Increased belly fat or unexplained weight gain

• Poor sleep quality or motivation loss

If you're noticing one or more of these symptoms, comprehensive lab testing can determine if low testosterone or hormonal imbalance is the cause.
