Medzone at Newport Beach

Incoming Medzone patients often have questions about how the process of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) works. Our goal is to make getting your necessary lab and other diagnostic work, consultation, and the therapy itself as straightforward and simple as possible.

When you visit one of our clinics in California, Florida, or Texas, the first step is to schedule an initial consultation where you have the chance to discuss your health concerns with our doctors.

If you are a good candidate for HRT based on an initial evaluation, the next step is to visit a local lab (details provided by Medzone) to submit a small blood sample,

After that, our staff will contact you for a follow-up visit where our doctors go over your results to determine the best course of treatment and discuss options with you. Moving forward, the next step is to begin therapy, which generally begins to produce noticeable improvements in how you feel and look within a month.

In addition to replacing falling testosterone levels through TRT, patients can also make lifestyle changes to support healthy T counts on their own. Here are some of the best ways to boost testosterone naturally:

• Optimized diet. Avoid, whenever possible, any and all processed foods (sodas, chips, etc.) as well as food items with added sugars. Instead, focus on getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, nuts and seeds, and legumes. Using a meal planning app (many of which are available for free download on the web) is a great way to track your nutritional intake, both in terms of critical micronutrients and in terms of macronutrient ratios (fats, proteins, and carbs) for optimal T support.
• Plenty of sleep. The body uses sleep as the opportunity to recalibrate and rebalance the endocrine system. Men who get at least 6 (ideally, 7-9) hours of high-quality sleep each night have significantly higher T counts than men who get less than 6 hours, all other factors accounted for. Lift heavy weights. This is by far, aside from the basics of optimizing diet and getting more sleep, the best everyday practice to increase testosterone levels. The human body was designed for movement – we are physically primed to engage in hard work each and every day (we weren’t always so lucky to be able to buy our steak at the supermarket).

• Certain dietary additives such as ashwagandha, omega-3 fish oils, zinc, and vitamin D may contribute to boosted T counts – especially in aging males.
• Control stress levels. The body is constantly attempting to maintain homeostasis, including in its hormone levels. Cortisol, the stress hormone, has the proven capacity to downregulate the effects of testosterone, which can harm well-being associated with higher levels of the hormone. Breathing exercises, such as the Wim Hof Method, are exceptionally effective at limiting cortisol levels as well as balancing the hormone system overall to reduce stress.
• Get out in the sun. As we mentioned previously, vitamin D is a major plus for testosterone. Unfortunately, huge percentages of the US population is deficient in this critical nutrient (which, contrary to popular belief, is actually a steroid hormone and not a “vitamin” in the conventional sense). In addition to supplementation, you can access abundant, all-natural vitamin D (nicknamed the “sunshine vitamin”) via sun exposure. Depending on your skin pigmentation, as little as 30 minutes of sunlight exposure each day can go a long way towards getting your vitamin D levels in the optimum range.
