Hormone imbalances in men can have dramatic impacts on performance professionally and at home. At Rise, we have multiple strategies to improve hormone health and testosterone deficiency symptoms in men.
Comorbidities
Testosterone deficiency strongly correlates with type 2 diabetes, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease, forming a vicious cycle that leads to further testosterone deficiency.
Healthcare Costs
Testosterone deficiency is a major healthcare cost burden due to its relationship to other chronic diseases like diabetes, increasing healthcare costs by 38%.
Prevalence
The prevalence of testosterone deficiency in the United States is over 38% among men over 45 years old who see their primary care providers.

Functional medicine provides a framework that supports hormone production and detoxification processes, achieving balance through lifestyle and nutrition interventions. Rise’s virtual functional medicine program utilizes a holistic approach to understanding and improving your hormonal health from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
The Holistic Approach May Include Hormone Therapy
Andropause, also known as testosterone deficiency syndrome, is defined as a reduction in testosterone in men over age 40 that occurs with other symptoms such as fatigue, loss of physical agility, irritability, mood changes, loss of muscle mass, or low libido.
As part of the initial work-up, we will investigate possible contributing causes to these symptoms, review hormone labs, and work to improve and balance hormone levels naturally.
I may suggest testosterone replacement therapy as a part of the holistic approach. Testosterone therapy is currently available to Washington, D.C. and Florida patients only.
Hormone replacement therapy with testosterone may achieve the following results:
Improvement in depressed mood and motivation
Increased lean muscle mass
Improved sexual function
Improved bone mineral density and strength
Prevention of progression of prediabetes to diabetes
Possibly improved cognitive function and reduced risk of dementia
If you’ve been reluctant to talk to your doctor about hormone-related issues, consider an initial consultation with me.
