Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
Step 1: Comprehensive Hormonal Profiling
The first step in our approach is a detailed assessment of your hormonal health. We measure all forms of testosterone in your blood — total, free, and bioavailable. This comprehensive testing helps us understand not just the quantity of testosterone but also its availability for your body to use.
Step 2: Estradiol Monitoring
We also monitor estradiol levels to ensure that your body is not converting an excessive amount of testosterone into estrogen, which can lead to various side effects. This balance is crucial for maintaining optimal health and hormonal balance.
Step 3: Additional Hormonal Assessments
Along with testosterone and estradiol, we evaluate other key hormones such as TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and prolactin. These tests are crucial for ruling out secondary causes of Low T, such as thyroid disorders or hyperprolactinemia, which can affect hormonal balance and overall health.
Step 4: Checking Growth Hormone and Other Indicators
Checking growth hormone levels forms part of our assessment, as it plays a key role in muscle mass and overall vitality. We ensure your baseline cholesterol and hemoglobin are within healthy ranges since testosterone can influence both. These metrics are vital for understanding your cardiovascular and overall health status.
Risk Assessment and Management
Prostate Health Surveillance
Understanding the risk of prostate cancer is crucial. We conduct a thorough assessment through family history analysis and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. This proactive approach helps us tailor treatments while monitoring potential risks closely.
Detailed History and Lifestyle Assessment
Taking a detailed medical and lifestyle history is integral to our approach. This allows us to tailor lifestyle modifications such as improving diet, enhancing sleep quality, managing stress, and moderating alcohol consumption—all of which can significantly impact testosterone levels and overall health.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Treatment Monitoring
Fit 3D Body Scan
To ensure that our treatment plans are not just effective but also optimized for your body, we use Fit 3D body scans. This technology provides us with detailed metrics of muscle mass, fat percentage, and basal metabolic rate (BMR). These scans are invaluable for tracking the effectiveness of the treatment over time, allowing us to see tangible results and make adjustments as needed.
Rigorous Follow-Up Process
Our commitment to your health does not end with the prescription of a treatment plan. We engage in a rigorous follow-up process to monitor your hormone levels, adjust treatments if necessary, and ensure that you are achieving the desired health outcomes without adverse effects. Regular check-ins and updates to your treatment plan are based on the latest clinical data and your ongoing health status.
