Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a treatment designed to restore testosterone levels in men experiencing symptoms related to low or declining hormones. By supporting healthy hormone balance, TRT may help improve energy, mood, and overall quality of life.
At Inner MD, we focus on bioidentical hormone therapy, tailoring each plan to the individual’s needs and ensuring ongoing follow-up to monitor safety and effectiveness.
TRT may be considered for men experiencing signs of low testosterone that affect daily living. These symptoms can include:
Persistent fatigue and low energy
Decreased muscle mass or strength
Increased belly fat or changes in body composition
Mood swings, low motivation, or irritability
Difficulty recovering from exercise
Decline in overall vitality
Each patient undergoes a thorough intake and consultation to determine whether TRT is an appropriate treatment option.
At Inner MD, we use a structured process to provide safe and effective TRT:
Intake Form – Begin by completing our online male intake form.
Initial Consultation – A 30-minute virtual meeting with Dr. Johnston to review health history and symptoms.
Lab Testing (If Needed) – To confirm testosterone levels and rule out other contributing factors.
Treatment Plan – A customized TRT plan based on your unique needs.
Follow-Up Care – Reassessments at 6–8 weeks, then every 3–6 months until stable, with yearly visits once optimized.
