Men's Aging & Andropause
Comprehensive care for male hormone decline and age-related changes
Understanding Andropause
While women experience menopause as a distinct event, men undergo a more gradual hormone decline often called "andropause" or "male menopause." This age-related decrease in testosterone and other hormones significantly impacts quality of life, yet many men suffer in silence, attributing their symptoms to "just getting older."
Unlike menopause, andropause doesn't happen suddenly. Testosterone levels typically begin declining around age 30, dropping 1-2% per year. By their 50s and 60s, many men have significantly lower levels than in their youth - and the effects become increasingly apparent.
The Overlooked Condition
Andropause affects millions of men, yet it's often undiagnosed. Many doctors dismiss symptoms as normal aging or offer antidepressants instead of addressing the underlying hormone deficiency. Men deserve better - they deserve to know there's an identifiable cause and effective treatment.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Men's Health
We don't just check testosterone - we evaluate the complete picture of male hormonal health:
Total & Free Testosterone
Both values matter. Free testosterone is the active form your body can use.
Estrogen (E2)
Men need some estrogen, but excess causes problems. We monitor and optimize levels.
Thyroid Function
Thyroid issues often accompany testosterone decline and worsen symptoms.
DHEA & Cortisol
Adrenal hormones affect energy, stress tolerance, and testosterone production.
IGF-1
Marker for growth hormone status, important for body composition and vitality.
PSA & Metabolic Labs
Safety monitoring and metabolic health assessment.
