What’s all the fuss about…
Aside from being the primary male sex hormone, testosterone regulates many vital functions including bone and muscle mass, sex drive, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.
Unfortunately, symptoms of testosterone deficiency are nonspecific which may lead to a delay in diagnosis and proper testosterone therapy. Symptoms of testosterone deficiency may include, but are not limited to, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, weight gain, low energy levels, lack of motivation, fatigue, irritability, and depression. Often, relatively low testosterone levels may coexist with some of the more common chronic medical conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic problems.
Correcting testosterone deficiency is possible for many, and it’s one of the cornerstone services of Alchemy Wellness Center.
This medication is taken orally and stimulates your own natural production of testosterone. Because of this Enclomiphene is generally well tolerated with minimal side effects. If you’re a young man still interested in having a family this could be the ideal option for you. Fertility is preserved and may be increased due to the effect of Enclomiphene on testicular size and sperm production. It’s also been shown to increase lean body mass. Enclomiphene is a great first-line drug for everyone EXCEPT those with primary hypogonadism. Otherwise, for age-related, or what we call secondary hypogonadism, it’s an excellent choice.

Various forms of replacement therapies are available including injectables, gels, pellets, and creams. Our practice is only prescribing injectable testosterone.
Conventional insurance can cover TRT therapy following strict insurance-driven guidelines. We use the guidelines but also look at the big picture, choosing to treat symptoms, not just numbers. In addition, our liaison with compounding pharmacies allows us to assist self-payers at highly affordable monthly subscription rates. This covers clinic visits, related lab work, and medication costs. Our practice does not accept or file for insurance.
It varies individually, however, given that it’s a chronic condition, most require ongoing replacement under medical supervision that includes periodic lab work up.
Creams, gels, nasal sprays, and patches are used daily. With the topical formulations of testosterone, dosing is challenging due to variable absorption, increased risk of missed doses, and the potential risk of accidental exposure to other people in direct physical contact.
Generally, they are administered weekly based on the 7-8 days half-life of injectable testosterone formulation. Weekly or twice weekly injections help to maintain steady levels.
Side effects of testosterone are related to dosing, injection site reaction/irritation, and the hormonal effects of testosterone including acne, increased red cell production, enlargement of breasts, low sperm count, and effects related to prostate enlargement (possible urination difficulties like decreased stream and increased frequency). Most of the side effects are easily manageable. We encourage you to discuss the potential risks of testosterone therapy in detail during consultation with your provider.

Let me start by saying that unfortunately in my last 10 years due to many issues I have seen numerous medical professionals. But a few have impressed me with their professionalism, care, honesty, knowledge and bed side manners. Dr. Bilal is in the top. He is extremely caring, listens to all of your concerns. Will answer all your questions. And will give you the best options available. The staff is amazing and very responsive. In all in all I give them 5 stars on everything.
