Testosterone is an essential hormone that plays a vital role in men's health and wellbeing. Over time, testosterone levels naturally decline with age – a condition known medically as hypogonadism or colloquially as Low T. This decline can start as early as age 30 and symptoms often worsen over time.
Low testosterone levels can negatively impact energy, mood, cognition, muscle mass, body fat, sexual function and more. Thankfully, clinical testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is available to help treat testosterone deficiency. Customized TRT programs at Vitality Renewal Clinic in Studio City can help men optimize their vitality, health and quality of life.
