Why Testosterone?
At ARC Men’s and Women’s Health we help people improve their health and vitality. While we always work with lifestyle factors, there are many who benefit from direct hormone replacement.
We start with optimizing testosterone levels. Today’s hectic lifestyles take a toll on overall health and make it very challenging to maintain hormone levels. When we test screening labs, more than 70% have low testosterone. Here is why we focus on testosterone replacement and optimization.
In the complexity of human physiology, testosterone emerges as foundational to overall health. It is often mischaracterized as a male hormone, and a driver of masculinity. It is more accurate to see it as a factor that supports energy, vitality, and engagement in both sexes.
Imagine the body as a finely tuned orchestra: when testosterone is in harmony—not too low or high—it participates in a symphony of benefits that enhance quality of life.
For men, the advantages of optimal testosterone are profound. It improves body composition by promoting muscle growth and visceral fat loss. It helps strengthen bones, and contributes to cardiovascular health. Cognitively, it sharpens focus, verbal memory, and spatial abilities, while emotionally, it can alleviate depressive symptoms and enhance overall mood. It also promotes more of a desire to engage socially. Sexual health flourishes with improved libido and erectile function. Men often report deeper and more refreshing sleep, which lead to heightened energy. Every organ and hormone system in the body works more efficiently.
Women, too, see significant benefits from optimized testosterone. Women produce testosterone in the ovaries and adrenal glands, and we know that ovarian and adrenal dysfunction are common in women. Testosterone plays a key role in maintaining bone density, muscle mass, and body composition. It bolsters cognitive function, aiding memory and problem-solving, while improving mood and combating symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly during perimenopause and postpartum periods. Sexual well-being is enhanced, with improvements in libido, arousal, improved intimacy, and satisfaction. Energy and stamina receive a boost, contributing to a sense of empowerment and resilience. It supports heart health and metabolic balance, reducing risks associated with hormonal shifts in menopause. For women, optimal testosterone ensures the body and mind operate in sync for a harmonious state of being.
We are excited to extend our reach in the community and partner with the Caughlin Club in our shared efforts to help people improve their health and vitality.
