The Truth About "Male Menopause" and How to Conquer the Symptoms
Health... Wellness...Quality of Life...
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Beginning around the age of 30, men’s testosterone levels steadily decline yearly. Symptoms gradually develop and are often confused with “getting older” when in fact it’s low T. This slow decline is called andropause and results in low energy, low motivation, weight gain, low sex drive, poor sleep, irritability, anxiety, lack of performance and gains in the gym, erectile dysfunction and a variety of other symptoms people chalk up to “old age.”
​
​Testosterone isn't the only hormone in men. And it definitely isn't the only hormone that can be imbalanced causing a multitude of symptoms. We test for all hormone deficiencies and treat based on an individualized treatment plan. You will never receive "cookbook medicine"where they hire an online provider to follow a prewritten script like some of the larger online Testosterone Replacement Treatment (TRT) companies you will find in an online search. We LISTEN to each man. We tailor your treatment plan based on your symptoms, labs, and results!
​
1 in 4 men over the age of 30 have low Testosterone levels. Symptoms of low testosterone affect every aspect of life.

Decreased libido
-
Erectile dysfunction

Decreased lean muscle mass
-
Increased body fat (especially in the abdomen: better known as "a dad bod")
-
Decreased mental clarity
-
Decreased ambition and energy

Depression
Human Growth Hormone
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels peak while you’re a teenager and into early adulthood. Levels decline rapidly after the age of 30 and result in a myriad of symptoms that are usually associated with “getting older.” Symptoms typically include an increase in body fat, loss in muscle mass and strength, fatigue, decreased sex drive, cognitive decline, and a myriad of “age associated” symptoms.
Replacing HGH itself is very expensive and can only be prescribed based off strict FDA guidelines. This is where secretagogues come in. HGH secretagogues are medications that naturally increase the bodies ability to produce its own HGH. These medications are typically administered on a daily basis and are injectable or in pill form.

Diagnosing Growth Hormone Insufficiency
We diagnose growth hormone insufficiency by testing your insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) which is part of the initial blood work every man gets during their first visit at Angeles Health and Wellness. IGF-1 is produced by the liver in response to circulating HGH that is secreted while you sleep. The higher the IGF-1 levels, the more growth hormone the body is producing. If IGF-1 levels are low, it indicates that your body is not producing enough HGH.
