Low Testosterone
Low testosterone can stem from more than aging. We investigate insulin resistance, sleep apnea, nutrient deficiencies, stress, and toxin exposure as modifiable causes.
When to Book
Book a functional medicine consultation if conventional treatment has not fully resolved your symptoms, or if you want to understand the root cause behind a chronic condition.
Symptoms
Low energy, reduced libido, muscle loss, increased body fat, mood changes, and decreased recovery.
Root Causes & Contributing Factors
Obesity, insulin resistance, sleep disorders, chronic stress, zinc and vitamin D deficiency, and endocrine disruptors.
Functional Evaluation
Total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, LH, FSH, metabolic markers, and sleep and lifestyle assessment.
Treatment Approach
Address modifiable causes first (sleep, weight, stress, nutrients). Testosterone replacement when root-cause interventions are insufficient.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for sudden testicular pain, severe mood disturbance, or signs of pituitary emergency.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is functional medicine different from conventional medicine?
Functional medicine looks for root causes using advanced testing and personalized protocols that address gut health, inflammation, nutrient status, and lifestyle factors.
What kind of testing does functional medicine use?
Common tests include comprehensive stool analysis, food sensitivity panels, organic acids testing, micronutrient panels, hormone profiles, and advanced inflammatory markers.
How long does a functional medicine plan take to work?
Most patients notice improvements within four to twelve weeks. Complex or long-standing conditions may take several months of targeted support.
Does insurance cover functional medicine testing?
Some labs are covered by insurance. We review options beforehand so there are no surprises.
Can I do functional medicine alongside my current treatment?
