Testosterone Therapy and Treatment

It’s time to feel like your old self again! Are you ready to start having energy for all the things you love? We can help you get your motivation and love of life back!

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.

Good News!!

Correcting testosterone deficiency is possible for many, and it’s one of the cornerstone services of Alchemy Wellness Center.

Testosterone Therapy – Enclomiphene, the Testosterone Alternative

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.

We also treat other men’s health issues including erectile dysfunction. ED may occur due to various medical and psychological reasons. We can help you sort out the cause and figure out which treatment option will work best.

  I am so happy I went with Alchemy wellness! Teresa Cirvello was amazing. She answered all my questions and gave me all the information I needed. I was nervous before the consult but all my worries went away after speaking with her. Alchemy ships to California, with an extra fee but worth it, which is another reason why I decided to go with them. Highly recommend!!
