Why It Matters

It’s not “just getting older.”

Hormones regulate energy, mood, metabolism, sleep and sexual health. When testosterone or estrogen decline through andropause, perimenopause or menopause, the effects touch every part of life. Many are treatable.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I know if my hormones are low?

Symptoms are a clue; labs confirm it. Your consultation and comprehensive panel tell us whether therapy is appropriate.

Is hormone therapy safe?

For appropriate candidates under close supervision, it can be. Like any medicine it carries risks, which is why we screen carefully, dose conservatively and monitor regularly.

What are bioidentical hormones?

Hormones structurally identical to those your body makes. Some are FDA-approved; compounded versions are not. Dr. Shlifer will explain which options fit you.

Will TRT affect fertility?

It can reduce sperm production. If you plan to have children, tell us and we’ll discuss fertility-preserving options.

How soon will I feel a difference?

It varies. Some notice changes in energy or sleep within weeks; other benefits build over several months.
