If you’ve been feeling more tired than usual, noticing a drop in your motivation, or struggling to stay strong in the gym—or the bedroom—it could be more than just stress or age. Many men begin to experience a gradual decline in testosterone and DHEA as early as their 30s or 40s.
If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to check your hormone levels.
Saliva hormone testing with us at Hale Center Clinical Pharmacy is a great way to get started. This shows us the free, unbound and active hormone in your tissues versus a blood draw that shows us the total hormones including what is bound and unavailable for use.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands and is a precursor to both testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol (your body’s stress hormone). Low DHEA can further affect your hormonal balance, energy, mental clarity, and immune health.
Unlike one-size-fits-all treatments, compounded topical testosterone therapy is tailored to your body’s unique needs. After lab testing and a clinical evaluation, we create a personalized formula with precise dosing based on your specific needs. This might be testosterone alone or both testosterone and DHEA.
Daily topical application (usually to the inner arm or thigh) allows for steady absorption, and we can adjust your dose over time based on how you feel and your lab results.
Benefits of compounded topical hormone therapy may include:
Every man’s body is different—your hormone therapy should be too.
