Testosterone Hormone, the “Male Sex Hormone”, is responsible for the development of sexual characteristics, sexual function, memory, mood, and sense of well-being. It helps protect against heart disease, bone loss, and depression while increasing the ratio of lean muscle mass to body fat.

FACTS on Men Low-T (Hypogonadism)
- Men start feeling symptoms as they hit their 50s.
- Can affect almost any man at some point in life.
- Causes men’s fat belly, large breast, muscle loss.
- Testosterone level peaks in the late teens.
- It starts declining in our early 30s.
- By the age of 70, the T level is half of its peak.
- Less than 20% of ED men seek medical attention.
- Only 10% of men receive testosterone therapy.
- Increased female hormone estrogen is frequent.

Not only is your testosterone low lately, but now you can’t get rid of your belly fat or your new man-boobs!
It is a natural process for a man’s body to produce estrogen in small amounts but as men age and testosterone decreases, their estrogen often tends to increase. In fact, today we find 60 year old men with more circulating estrogen in their blood than the average 60 year old woman.
Natural aging and progressive accumulation of fat-especially in the midline- causes the enzyme “aromatase” to increase. This enzyme converts the already diminishing testosterone to more and more estrogen. So your testosterone stays low but your estrogen and your belly fat increases. If not corrected, these men are at a significantly higher risk for prostate cancer, obesity, Diabetes II, heart disease, Alzheimer’s type of dementia and autoimmune diseases.

When having symptoms of hormonal deficiency that prevent you from enjoying a normal daily life –and put you at a much higher risk of common later-age diseases–you should considering a prompt medical attention.
In your preliminary “courtesy” consultation the physician will privately evaluate your symptoms, concerns and alternatives
- Before any treatment is considered for your Low-T, we will ask you to fill at home some pertinent questionnaires and get some blood test done before your next office visit
- Over your next office visit the physician will review with you all personal information and blood tests results, perform a complete medical exam and some diagnostic tests, if indicated.
- A personalized treatment plan will then be created for you based on all those results.


WellnessPlus specializes and have shown proficiency in the medical therapies specific to the treatment and progress of the hormonal deficit.
HORMONE THERAPIES
At WellnessPlus, we understand that bio-identical hormones are a safer choice over synthetic hormones. The latter are made from animal sources or plant extracts and have significant negative side effects. Bio-identical hormones are made from natural compounds with an exact match to the hormones naturally produced by your body. They are “custom-compounded” and their manufacture is FDA approved. This is true for male and female hormone replacement and requires physician supervision and prescription.
- Testosterone Hormone
We have been prescribing bio-identical testosterone for men (and women) for years and our preference has been the testosterone pellet over creams, gels or weekly injections. Testosterone pellet is the only method that gives sustained and consistent levels for months without any “roller coaster” blood levels or mood and energy fluctuations. Our BioTe pellets of testosterone are the size of a grain of rice and are placed underneath the skin in your buttocks. No stitches are needed. When testosterone levels drop, symptoms may return, and a new pellet is then inserted.
- Natural Thyroid Hormone
Frequently we find Low T3 thyroid hormone in the low-normal level in many of our patients with Low-T for which we may recommend a natural thyroid hormone. Natural Thyroid Extract is a prescription medicine meant to replace or supplement the hormone made by your thyroid gland. When they run low in the body men can feel tired, lose hair, experience dry skin, and even experience weight gain.
PEPTIDE THERAPIES
Sexual desire and sexual arousal are greatly related to your sex hormone Testosterone and your brain.
Peptides are a group or combination of natural amino-acids. Peptide treatments are designed to supplement the decreasing levels of essential amino acids and peptides in the body and have proven to be very effective. In fact, peptide signaling molecules generally have a more rapid response and less side effects when compared to hormones.
- Peptide (PT-141)
If symptoms of erectile dysfunction persist beyond 3 months of testosterone therapy, PT-141 could be a reasonable alternative. Peptide PT-141 is a new pharmaceutical grade aphrodisiac developed to act in your brain to address erectile/sexual dysfunction or impotence in men, as well as sexual dysfunction in women (sexual arousal disorder).
- Peptides CJC-1295 w/ or w/o Ipamorelin
Peptide CJC-1295 is analog of the growth hormone releasing hormone. It stimulates the pituitary gland in the brain to increasing secretion of Growth Hormones (GH), promoting protein biosynthesis, and exercising lipolysis (particularly as visceral fat elimination). When combining both peptides, CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin the benefits are boosted:- Body/belly fat loss
- Increase in lean body mass
- Lost muscle recovery
- Increased strength and energy
- Decreased recovery time
- Improved sleep
- Better repair of internal organs
- Increased healing capacity
- Improved immune system
