Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Testosterone shapes your energy, strength, mood, and sex drive, and levels drop steadily once you pass 30. Michael Cherkassky, MD, Tammy Tyler, NP, and the team at Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness in Fort Worth, Texas, use testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to raise low testosterone and ease the symptoms that come with it. Every protocol starts with comprehensive bloodwork and continues with regular monitoring. Call the Fort Worth office or book your consultation online to learn more.

What is testosterone replacement therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy restores testosterone to a healthy range when your body no longer produces enough on its own. Testosterone drives far more than muscle and sex drive. It influences your mood, mental sharpness, bone density, red blood cell production, fat distribution, and how well you sleep.

Levels decline gradually after age 30 for most men. Genetics, chronic stress, excess weight, poor sleep, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions all speed that decline. 

The team at Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness looks for the cause behind your numbers rather than treating the symptom in isolation.

What symptoms suggest low testosterone?

Symptoms build slowly, which is why many men write them off. Consider getting your levels checked if you notice:

• Persistent fatigue that sleep does not resolve
• Loss of muscle mass and strength
• Increased body fat, particularly around the midsection
• Reduced libido or difficulty with erections
• Irritability, low mood, or flat motivation
• Brain fog and trouble concentrating
• Poor sleep quality

These symptoms also show up with thyroid disorders, depression, and sleep apnea, so a blood test is the only way to confirm what you are dealing with.

How does the team approach testosterone replacement therapy?

Your dose depends on your labs, your symptoms, and how your body responds over time. Here’s what treatment typically includes:

Comprehensive diagnostic bloodwork

Advanced panels measure total and free testosterone along with the related markers that explain why your levels dropped.

Personalized hormone protocol

The team builds your treatment around your labs, your symptoms, and your goals, then explains the options and how each one works.

Continuous monitoring

Follow-up labs and appointments track your response, and the team adjusts your dosage to keep your levels steady and safe.

Lifestyle and wellness support

Nutrition, sleep, strength training, and stress management all affect your hormones, and the team addresses them alongside your prescription.

When will I notice results from testosterone replacement therapy?

Energy and mood often improve within the first few weeks. Changes in muscle mass, body composition, and sexual function typically develop over 3-6 months of consistent treatment. Regular lab work throughout keeps your therapy on track.
