Age Happier, Live Healthier with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy
Menopause in women is a widely discussed, well-studied phenomenon, yet its equivalent in men – andropause – is often ignored. The two are very similar experiences, both typically manifesting in those 40 years of age or older and caused by sub-optimal hormone levels. Both can be accompanied by fatigue, depression, irritability, aches and pains, general signs of aging, increased risk of chronic degenerative disease, and reduced sexual interest, enjoyment and or performance. Due to the less-discussed nature of andropause, many of our male patients may not exactly know what they are experiencing, or how to address it
The Role of Testosterone
Testosterone is secreted by the adrenal glands, testes and ovaries and contributes to increased recovery, strength, fat burning and overall wellbeing. It also protects against arthritis, fat storage, and cardiovascular disease. Having testosterone appropriately present in your body allows for more lean muscle mass, greater bone density, improved skin tone and better sexual performance. These are just a few of the many reasons Get Well Scottsdale offers testosterone replacement therapy options for those struggling with testosterone deficiency.

Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has many benefits. The hormones within BHRT pellets are structurally the same as the hormones found within the body. Another benefit of hormone therapy is that the pellets remain within the body and consistently provide the dosing that the body requires.
Some of the physical benefits men typically report experiencing as a result of testosterone treatments include:
​
-
increased lean muscle mass and tone

bone strength

thicker hair
