Initial Consultation
Your TRT journey in Florida begins with an initial consultation, where you’ll meet with a qualified provider to discuss your unique symptoms, health history, and wellness goals. During this conversation, the provider will ask about any low-energy or fatigue issues, changes in muscle mass, mood fluctuations, or other symptoms possibly linked to low testosterone. They’ll also inquire about your lifestyle, exercise routine, diet, and family medical history to understand your overall health profile. This comprehensive evaluation not only helps determine if TRT is the right option but also allows the provider to tailor a plan specifically to your needs, maximizing therapy benefits and minimizing risks.
Blood Work
After the consultation, you’ll undergo a comprehensive blood panel to assess not only your testosterone levels but also a range of important health markers. Alongside testosterone, providers often check estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, giving insight into your hormonal balance. These markers help in determining the right TRT dosage and approach.
In addition to hormone levels, other blood markers shed light on your overall health and reveal any conditions that might impact your TRT plan. For instance, lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) are checked, as TRT can influence cardiovascular health. Blood sugar levels and insulin markers are also reviewed, especially if there is a history or risk of diabetes, as TRT can affect these. To ensure your organs function optimally, liver and kidney function markers, like enzymes and creatinine, are also tested. Finally, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are checked to monitor red blood cell counts, which TRT can increase in some cases, warranting monitoring.
This thorough blood work ensures your TRT plan is accurately tailored to you, focusing on effective results while prioritizing your health and safety.
Telehealth Meeting
Once your blood work results are available, you’ll have a telehealth meeting with a provider to discuss the findings in detail. During this session, the provider will review your hormone levels and other health markers, explaining how each result affects your health and eligibility for TRT. This meeting is your opportunity to discuss concerns, ask questions, and understand how TRT can address your symptoms.
Based on your results, the provider will outline a personalized TRT plan, including the recommended dosage, treatment frequency, and lifestyle adjustments to optimize your results. They’ll also cover what to expect from treatment, potential side effects, and the importance of ongoing monitoring to track your progress and adjust the plan if needed. This step ensures you are fully informed and confident before beginning therapy, with a plan tailored to achieve optimal results for you.
Pharmacy Pickup
Once your treatment plan is finalized, you can pick up your medication at a partnering pharmacy, making it convenient to start your therapy without delay.
