Frequently Asked Questions

TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) restores testosterone in men with clinically low levels. HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) refers to restoring hormone levels (e.g., estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) for men and women when imbalance causes symptoms.

TRT candidates are men with documented low testosterone plus symptoms like fatigue, low libido, muscle loss. HRT candidates include men or women with hormone symptoms (e.g., hot flashes, mood changes, low energy) and confirmed hormonal imbalance.

With TRT you might see: more energy, increased libido, improved mood, better muscle mass, reduced fat. With HRT for women, benefits include relief from menopausal symptoms, better sleep, improved mood, maybe stronger bones.

TRT can be delivered via injections, gels, patches, implants. HRT can be pills, patches, creams, rings, injections depending on the hormone and patient.

TRT side-effects may include: acne or oily skin, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count, prostate issues, lower sperm count (infertility). HRT risks include: increased risk of blood clots, breast cancer risk in some cases, cardiovascular considerations.

In TRT, some benefits (energy, mood) may show in 2-6 weeks, full effects (muscle, fat loss) may take several months. In HRT, symptom relief (hot flashes, mood) may begin early, but maintenance and monitoring matter.

TRT is usually long-term: once you start, stopping means your hormone levels fall back and symptoms return. HRT length depends on individual risk/benefit: some stay on it long term under supervision.

If TRT is stopped: testosterone falls, symptoms return, fertility may be affected. If HRT is stopped: menopausal symptoms may come back, other hormone-related issues may return.

Yes. TRT often reduces sperm production and may impair fertility unless managed appropriately. For HRT in women, fertility depends on age, hormone types, whether ovaries are present—needs specialist discussion.

You’ll need baseline labs: hormone levels, blood count, lipid profile, prostate markers (in men), etc. Ongoing monitoring is required (every 3-6 months or per protocol) to adjust dose, check for side-effects.

Yes. Diet, exercise, sleep, stress, alcohol or drug use all impact hormones and outcomes. Optimizing lifestyle improves results and reduces risk.

Age alone isn’t a contraindication but risk increases with cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer (for men), clotting disorders (for women). Full medical history is critical before prescribing.

Costs vary widely by form of therapy, dose, frequency, monitoring. Some insurance covers hormone deficiency treatment; others view it as “optimization” and may not. You must verify coverage with your provider and insurer.

1. What are my current hormone levels and target levels?
2. Which form of therapy is best for me (injection/gel/patch)?
3. What are the potential risks given my health history?
4. How will you monitor me (labs, side-effects)?
5. What happens if I want to stop therapy?

Book a consultation. You’ll undergo a full medical evaluation and lab testing. If you qualify, your provider will build a customized plan and schedule follow-up. Make sure your provider explains how dosing works, how to administer (if self-injecting), and what support you’ll get long term.

Peptide therapy uses small chains of amino acids (peptides) that act like biological messengers in your body. Living Young Center+2They help regulate key functions such as hormone balance, tissue repair, metabolism and immune response.

People who have signs of imbalance, slow recovery, low energy, hormone issues, skin ageing or want to optimize performance can be good candidates. A proper medical evaluation is required to determine suitability.

Most peptides are given by subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), though some may be oral, nasal or topical. Your provider will determine the best route, dose and schedule for you.

Depending on the protocol, benefits may include:

Some patients notice changes in energy or recovery within 2-6 weeks. More structural changes (e.g., skin texture, fat loss) often take several months.

When supervised by a qualified medical provider, peptide therapy is generally safe and well tolerated. Risks exist and depend on the peptide used, underlying health, and sourcing quality.

Possible side-effects include injection site irritation, hormonal shifts, mild bruising or inflammation. Because peptides influence biological systems, monitoring is required.

Duration depends on your goals and the protocol. Some programs run for 3-6 months, others may be longer or incorporate a maintenance phase.Your provider will review progress and adjust accordingly.

Yes — peptide therapy often works best as part of a broader wellness plan (nutrition, lifestyle, hormone therapy, etc.). Make sure your provider coordinates all treatments safely.
