Daily Microdosing TRT Treatments

Unlike traditional TRT methods that rely on infrequent, larger doses, our clinic specialises in daily microdosing TRT treatments. This approach is in line with your natural cycle and ensures a steady, consistent level of testosterone in your system, optimising your energy, focus, and overall well-being throughout the day.

What to expect from treatment

In a microdosing protocol for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the onset of effects and the timing of symptom relief can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, baseline hormone levels, and the specific protocol being used. However, here's a general overview of what to expect:

During the initial phase of a microdosing protocol, it's common for individuals to start experiencing some effects relatively quickly, such as improvements in energy levels, mood, and libido. However, significant changes may take several weeks to become noticeable. This initial period is often marked by an adjustment phase as the body adapts to the new hormone levels.

The alleviation of symptoms associated with low testosterone, such as fatigue, low libido, mood changes, and cognitive difficulties, typically occurs gradually over the course of treatment. Some individuals may start to notice improvements within the first few weeks, while others may require several months of consistent treatment to experience full relief of symptoms. Patience is important, as it can take time for hormone levels to stabilize and for the body to respond fully to treatment.

Once symptom relief has been achieved, ongoing maintenance of hormone levels and symptom control is important for long-term well-being.

Medications

Testosterone Cypionate

Testosterone Cypionate is a synthetic bioidentical version of the naturally occurring male sex hormone testosterone.

Microdosing testosterone cypionate involves subcutaneously injecting small daily doses instead of larger, less frequent ones. This offers precise symptom management and improved well-being. Maintaining steadier testosterone levels, potentially enhancing mood, energy, and libido consistency.

By administering smaller doses more frequently, the peaks and troughs in testosterone levels that can occur with less frequent dosing schedules can be minimised. This can help avoid symptoms associated with sudden fluctuations in hormone levels, such as mood swings and fatigue.

HCG

hCG is sometimes used adjunctively to help maintain fertility and prevent testicular atrophy. Testosterone replacement therapy can suppress the body's natural production in some cases and, consequently, sperm production.

This suppression can lead to infertility in some men. hCG can help maintain the function of the testes and stimulate the production of testosterone within the testes, which in turn supports sperm production. This can be particularly important for men who wish to preserve their fertility while undergoing TRT.

Testosterone replacement therapy can cause the testes to shrink (atrophy) due to the suppression of natural testosterone production. By using hCG alongside TRT, it's possible to maintain the size and function of the testes.

In some cases, TRT alone may not adequately maintain all aspects of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as libido and erectile function. Adding hCG to TRT may help in this regard by preserving more natural testosterone production and potentially enhancing libido and sexual function.

Some individuals on TRT report feeling better overall when hCG is included in their treatment regimen. This may be due to the preservation of natural testosterone production and the associated benefits for mood, energy levels, and overall well-being.

Aromatase Inhibitors

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are a class of medications that block the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens (such as testosterone) into estrogen. While AIs are not typically used alongside testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as frequently as hCG or hMG, they may be prescribed in certain cases to address elevated estrogen levels or estrogen-related side effects associated with TRT.

Testosterone replacement therapy can sometimes lead to an increase in estrogen levels due to the conversion of testosterone into estrogen by aromatase enzymes. Elevated estrogen levels can contribute to side effects such as gynecomastia (enlargement of breast tissue), water retention, and mood changes. AIs can help mitigate these effects by reducing the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, thus helping to maintain a more balanced hormonal profile.

For individuals who experience bothersome symptoms related to elevated estrogen levels while on TRT, such as breast tenderness or mood swings, the addition of an aromatase inhibitor may provide relief by lowering estrogen levels and reducing the severity of these side effects.

In some cases, elevated estrogen levels can lead to a feedback loop in which the body decreases its production of testosterone in response to high estrogen levels. By using an AI to lower estrogen levels, it may be possible to prevent or minimize this feedback inhibition of testosterone production, thus helping to maintain optimal testosterone levels during TRT.

HMG

Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is another hormone medication that may be used alongside testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in certain cases. Similar to hCG, hMG contains hormones that stimulate the production of testosterone and support fertility in men.

Like hCG, hMG contains hormones that can stimulate the testes to produce testosterone. This can help maintain or restore natural testosterone production in men receiving TRT, which may be beneficial for preserving fertility and overall hormonal balance.

For men who are experiencing infertility due to low testosterone levels or other factors, hMG can be used to stimulate sperm production. This can improve the chances of conception for men undergoing TRT while also preserving their fertility in the long term.

In certain situations where TRT & hCG alone may not be sufficient to achieve desired testosterone levels or fertility outcomes, hMG may be used in combination. This combination therapy approach can offer synergistic benefits and tailor treatment to the individual's specific needs and goals.

Regardless of the test results, the cost's are incurred for the blood test analysis and as a result, once a test sample is sent for analysis - there will be no refund available.
What do you test for in your blood tests and why?

Total Testosterone: Measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood, providing insight into overall testosterone levels. Free Testosterone: Measures the amount of testosterone that is not bound to proteins in the blood, representing the biologically active form of testosterone. SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin): Binds to testosterone and regulates its bioavailability in the body. Elevated SHBG levels can reduce free testosterone levels. Albumin: Another protein that binds to testosterone, though less strongly than SHBG. Albumin-bound testosterone represents a fraction of total testosterone available for use. Oestradiol (Estrogen): Measures estrogen levels, which can impact testosterone metabolism and contribute to symptoms of hormonal imbalance. PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen): Screens for prostate health and helps monitor for potential prostate issues, as testosterone therapy may affect PSA levels. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Regulate testosterone production in the testes. LH stimulates testosterone production, while FSH is involved in sperm production. Prolactin: Regulates reproductive function and can influence testosterone levels. Elevated prolactin levels may indicate a hormonal imbalance. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and Free T4: Assess thyroid function, which can impact metabolism and overall health, potentially affecting testosterone levels. Full Blood Count: Evaluates red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and platelet count, providing insights into overall health and potential blood-related issues. Lipids (Cholesterol and Triglycerides): Measures lipid levels, which are important for cardiovascular health and may be affected by testosterone therapy.
