Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Wyckoff, NJ
As males age, their testosterone levels can start to decrease. This can cause a variety of symptoms, but there is a solution. Wellnessesity can help patients suffering from low testosterone. Our staff members are the leading experts on anti-aging and hormone replacement in Wyckoff, NJ.
What is Testosterone (T)?
Testosterone is the male sex hormone that makes you a man and gives you your masculinity. It is a minor hormone, meaning it is not needed for survival, but you will feel lousy and miserable if your level is low. Low testosterone levels can also shorten your life.

What’s a “Normal” Testosterone Level?
When you go to get tested for testosterone, the lab will often show you what’s considered the “normal” range among patients who have tested with that particular lab. It’s called the “reference range.” Here’s the problem. The reference range consists of a wide variety of men who tested with that specific lab; 80-year-old men and 20-year-old men; obese men and super fit men; men with a pituitary gland problem and men with a normal gland.
For example, Quest lab shows a reference range of 300 – 800 ng/dl (nanograms per deciliter) for total testosterone levels. According to this reference range, a 20-year-old with a level of total testosterone of 300 ng/dl will fall within the normal range, when in fact, his levels are very low for his age. He may suffer from many low testosterone symptoms even though he may be told by less informed doctors that his levels are normal according to the lab reference!
To explain this better for you, let’s take an example of a 50-year-old woman in menopause, her sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are non-existent. She has hot flashes, feels depressed, and is gaining weight. She goes to her doctor who may not be experienced in anti-aging and may tell her that her sex hormones are normal!!! Are they? Yes, they are normal for a 50-year-old woman in menopause. But how do they compare to a 20-year-old woman with normal sex hormones who is full of vitality?
The same facts apply to men. The fact that reference ranges don’t break patients down by age or health status explains why a 25-year-old man can go to his doctor with the symptoms of low T, only to be told that his T levels are fine because they’re within the “normal” range. Your levels can be normal by the lab reference age, but actually, be really low.
Factors that accelerate the decline of testosterone include:
What You Should Know About Low Testosterone
Between the ages of 25 and 50, men’s testosterone levels tend to decrease by approximately 10% per decade, yielding over a 50% reduction by the time they reach their 60s. Because it is such a slow decline, men’s responses vary widely. Men often identify these subtle symptoms as normal aging.
Symptoms of testosterone deficiency tend to fall into one of four categories: physical, cardiovascular, mental, or sexual, with some of them overlapping. For example, feeling too weak or tired to engage in sex could be related to impaired cardiovascular health, feelings of insecurity, and decreased libido, all of which may be related to testosterone deficiency.
Symptoms Associated with Low Testosterone
Physical
Cardiovascular
Mental
Sexual
One of the most troubling symptoms men encounter as they age is an enlarged prostate. The prostate gland goes through a second growth spurt as men reach their 40s, 50s, or 60s, often resulting in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As the prostate grows, it pushes on the bladder and urethra, causing mild to severe urinary discomforts such as increased frequency of urination, especially at night, difficulty initiating urination, decreased urinary force, and the sensation of a full bladder, even after urinating.
Current medical research indicates that low testosterone levels may be associated with BPH, especially when coupled with elevated estrogen hormone levels.
Treatment Options
No amount of testosterone will help you if your cortisol level is high. This is because cortisol and testosterone compete with one another. Wellnessesity uses a variety of techniques to lower cortisol such as natural herbs and ashwagandha. Once this is done, we can start your testosterone replacement therapy. The earlier that a testosterone imbalance is detected and treated, the better. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) supplements can provide symptom relief while delaying other age-related declines.
The testosterone treatments available today—such as oral capsules, sublingual lozenges, injectables, patches, creams, and gels—can be quite effective and easy to use, with minimal side effects. The benefits they offer include:
If you decide to pursue hormone therapy, be aware of the difference between conventional hormone therapies and natural hormone supplements. Hormones in some conventional hormone therapies are not identical to human hormones. Natural hormones are those that are biochemically identical to the hormones found in your body. As such, their effects on the body are the same as the effects of the hormones they are supplementing.
Wellnessesity only uses bio-identical hormones. We use pellets. We use Testim, Androgel, testosterone cypionate, and long-acting testosterone undecanoate also known as Aveed.
TESTIMONIALS
I have struggled with neck pain for 10+ years. When Covid started, it got progressively worse due to all of the time sitting at my desk. After seeing a Chiro for over a year with no relief, I tried Wellnessesity. Within a few weeks, my pain was a lot more manageable, and now, if I visit on a regular basis, I have no pain at all. I am able to sleep through the night without waking up because I’m so uncomfortable, which has been a game changer for me. The staff are all lovely and very knowledgeable with relieving pain and suggesting activities to help (or avoid). Can’t say anything but great things …I only wish I could visit more often!
