Reclaim Your Strength & Vitality
Physician-designed testosterone replacement therapy that restores your energy, drive, muscle mass, and confidence — based on lab data, not guesswork.
What Is Testosterone Therapy for Men?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is a medically supervised treatment that restores testosterone to optimal physiological levels in men experiencing hypogonadism or age-related testosterone decline (andropause). After age 30, men lose approximately 1–2% of their testosterone annually. By their 40s and 50s, many experience profound symptoms: crippling fatigue, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, brain fog, and depression. At LifeBoost MD, Dr. Stratt treats low testosterone with evidence-based TRT protocols that are carefully monitored, dosed precisely, and adjusted to your unique biochemistry — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Key Benefits
Dramatically Increased Energy
Testosterone is the primary driver of male vitality. Optimized levels restore the energy and motivation many men had in their 30s.
Improved Muscle Mass & Strength
Testosterone is anabolic — it drives protein synthesis and supports lean muscle growth, especially when combined with resistance training.
Reduced Body Fat
Low T is directly linked to increased visceral adiposity. TRT improves body composition by shifting the muscle-to-fat ratio.
Restored Libido & Sexual Function
Testosterone is foundational to male sexual desire and erectile health. Most men experience significant improvement in drive and performance.
Enhanced Cognitive Function
Testosterone has neuroprotective effects. Optimal levels support focus, memory, verbal fluency, and protect against cognitive decline.
Improved Mood & Mental Health
Low testosterone is strongly associated with depression and irritability. TRT can produce remarkable improvements in emotional wellbeing.

What to Expect
- 1
Initial Consultation & Symptom Review
Dr. Stratt conducts a thorough review of your symptoms, health history, medications, and lifestyle to build your clinical picture.
- 2
Comprehensive Lab Panel
We test total and free testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, estradiol, complete blood count, PSA, metabolic panel, and thyroid markers.
- 3
Diagnosis & Protocol Design
If clinically indicated, Dr. Stratt designs a TRT protocol — injections, pellets, or topicals — based on your labs, preferences, and goals.
- 4
Treatment Initiation
You begin therapy with guidance on administration (if self-injecting) or scheduled in-office pellet insertion. We monitor closely from day one.
- 5
Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization
Follow-up labs at 6–8 weeks to assess response, check hematocrit/PSA safety markers, and adjust dosing. Quarterly monitoring thereafter.
Results Timeline
Most men notice improved energy and mood within 3–6 weeks. Libido improvements typically follow at 4–8 weeks. Body composition changes — increased muscle, decreased fat — are usually apparent at 3–4 months with consistent training. Cognitive and emotional benefits continue to develop over 6–12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified physician, TRT is safe for most men. Potential considerations include polycythemia (elevated red blood cell count), changes in fertility (TRT suppresses sperm production), and the theoretical concern around prostate health — which is why we monitor PSA closely. Dr. Stratt's comprehensive monitoring protocol mitigates these risks significantly.
TRT suppresses the pituitary signals (LH/FSH) that drive natural testosterone and sperm production. For men who wish to preserve fertility, we offer alternative protocols using hCG or clomiphene. This is an important topic to discuss during your consultation.
Both have advantages. Injections (typically weekly or bi-weekly) give precise dosing control and are cost-effective. Pellets provide hands-free, consistent hormone delivery for 3–5 months without peaks and troughs. The best option depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and clinical response.
Yes, in cases where ED is driven by low testosterone, TRT often produces meaningful improvement. However, ED has multiple causes, and Dr. Stratt will assess whether testosterone is the primary factor or whether additional treatment approaches are warranted.
A blood test is required. Total testosterone below 300 ng/dL is generally considered low, but many men have significant symptoms at levels considered 'normal' by standard ranges. Dr. Stratt evaluates both your lab numbers and your symptoms holistically to determine whether TRT is appropriate.
