What Does the Process Look Like?

Our process is simple: 1) Fill out a medical history form 2) We order your bloodwork (if needed) 3) Schedule your telehealth consult 4) The doctor gives Endless Vitality a plan of care 5) We dispense meds at the clinic or ship anywhere in the U.S.

What Is Testosterone?

Testosterone is the predominant male hormone and is responsible for the normal growth and development of the male sex organs, bone density, muscle mass, and is essential for health and well-being in men. Testosterone is produced in the testes, the reproductive glands that also produce sperm. The amount of testosterone produced by the testes is regulated by the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.

What Are Normal Testosterone Levels?

In healthy men, testosterone levels between 350 ng/dL and 1,000 ng/dL are referred to as normal. Normal physiology allows the brain and the testes to work together to keep testosterone in this range. The brain produces "signal" hormones that are responsible for stimulating testosterone production. These "signals" are periodically released, which in turn stimulates testosterone production. When levels of testosterone are in an acceptable range, the production of the signal hormones is slowed, which in turn slows the production of testosterone.

What Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy is the practice of diagnosing a person with low levels of testosterone and treating with injections, gels, patches, surgically implanted pellets or through oral applications. At Endless Vitality, we use injection therapy to treat low testosterone in eligible patients.

What Are the Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Benefits of Testosterone Replacement Therapy vary based upon the pre-therapy symptoms and other factors, but can include: Increased energy, decreased irritability and depression, improved muscle mass and strength, improved sexual desire, improved visuospatial cognitive function and verbal memory, higher motivation, decreased body fat (optimal results received through accompaniment of a diligent diet and exercise regimen), and possible improvement in depressive symptoms.

How Do You Determine if I Have Low Testosterone?

To determine testosterone levels, the medical professionals at Endless Vitality will perform a simple blood test, the results of which you will know within a few days. If your total or free testosterone are not within the normal range, you may be a candidate for treatment. Determining whether a patient is the right candidate for testosterone therapy is evaluated on a case by case basis by the medical professionals in conference with the patient.

What Are the Risks of Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Although rare, there are some risks with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). Some patients could experience the following side effects: TRT increases the volume of your prostate gland. To date, there have not been any studies showing that TRT increases the risk of prostate cancer. However, there is some theoretical concern because prostate cancer is treated by blocking testosterone. TRT can also cause polycythemia (increased red blood cells), which is monitored through regular blood work.

What Is Hypogonadism?

Hypogonadism, in a male, refers to a decrease in either testosterone production, sperm production, or both. The professionals at Endless Vitality address the testosterone aspect of this condition.

What Are the Advantages of Testosterone Injections vs. Other Methods Like Patches or Gels?

The proper method of testosterone delivery for you is a matter for your physician to determine; however, many find that some gels tend to be messy and less convenient than other treatment modalities. In addition, there can be a risk of unintentional transmittal to children or others with whom you may have physical contact with the use of gels. Testosterone patches can create a significant rash at the site of application. Injections tend to be the most reliable form of delivery.

If I Don't Treat My Low Testosterone What Will Happen?

Your testosterone levels will likely continue to decline over time and the severity of your symptoms will most likely continue to increase.

Sermorelin acetate is a structural analog of naturally occurring, human Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) consisting of its first 29 amino acids. Sermorelin stimulates production and secretion of endogenous Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland by activating GHRH receptors. This secretion of GH stimulates the liver to produce insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).

How Does the Process Work for A Typical Patient?

The Endless Vitality process offers a quick and easy way to diagnose and treat low testosterone. During your initial consultation, we will collect $200 for lab work and send off your requisition to your local lab to conduct a simple blood test, this includes a telehealth consult with the doctor to review the results which will be available within a few days. If your blood results indicate your testosterone levels are below clinically acceptable, the doctor will prescribe a treatment plan customized for you.

IGF-1 is the primary mediator of the effects of growth hormone, and can be a useful tool in the management of age-related changes in body composition. IGF-1 has been shown to increase lean body mass/lean muscle, decrease total and visceral fat, and increase bone mineral density.

Is Sermorelin Therapy Safe?

Sermorelin's effects are regulated at the level of the pituitary gland by negative feedback and by somatostatin, so safety concerns associated with GH overdosing are minimized or completely avoided. This naturally occurring regulation allows for episodic or intermittent release of GH by the pituitary, which more closely resembles natural GH release/normal physiology.

What Are the Benefits of Sermorelin Therapy?

Benefits of Sermorelin Therapy vary based upon the pre-therapy symptoms and other factors, but can include: Increased energy, improved flexibility and joint health, increased exercise performance, improved sleep quality, improved immune function, reduced belly fat/body fat, enhanced sexual performance, increased lean muscle mass, lower blood pressure, improved skin tone, reduced cholesterol levels, and stronger hair and nails.

Peptides are strings of molecules called amino acids, which are the "building blocks" of proteins. Peptides are basically short proteins that are about 2-100 amino acids long.

Peptides vs. Proteins

Both peptides and proteins are made up of strings of amino acids that are held together by peptide bonds. The main difference is that peptides are shorter strings of amino acids than proteins.

What happens to our peptides as we age?

As you age, your body naturally produces fewer peptides, which are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules. This decline leads to various age-related changes like decreased energy, muscle loss, and reduced skin elasticity.
