Hormone Balancing for Men
Along with other changes associated with aging, some people experience a gradual
loss of hormones. In men, this is called andropause or “male menopause” and refers mainly to decreasing levels of testosterone.
Fortunately, bio-identical hormone therapy can help patients find relief from the symptoms they are experiencing from imbalanced hormones. At Centered on Wellness, we create customized, medically sound programs that include bio-identical hormone replacement, fitness and nutrition plans.

Recommended Treatment Options
Creams & Gels
Testosterone is absorbed very well through the skin in most people and can be a simple and very effective delivery method. In some cases, though, men will have trouble getting adequate levels of testosterone when using transdermal delivery. Transdermal delivery also risks having the hormone rub off or “transfer” to others who should not be exposed to such high levels of hormone.
Testosterone Injections
Testosterone can also be injected directly into the muscles and can be a very effective way to increase levels of testosterone. This method does, however, require weekly or most often, twice-weekly injections to get adequate and constant levels of the hormone.
