Personalized Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Los Gatos

Tired no matter how much you sleep, losing strength, low sex drive, and told your labs are normal?

Low testosterone is a common, measurable cause in both men and women. At YNC, we run the labs most offices skip, then treat what the results show.

Signs of Low Testosterone in Men and Women

Low testosterone looks like ordinary wear and tear, which is why it gets missed. It’s worth testing if you recognize a few of these:

Fatigue that rest doesn’t fix
Lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction in men, vaginal or clitoral changes in women
Brain fog, flat or irritable mood
Poor sleep and slow recovery after exercise
Muscle loss despite staying active

You don’t need every symptom, but if you notice a pattern, that’s reason enough to test.

Testosterone Therapy for Women

Testosterone supports bone density, muscle, mood, and sex drive in women, not just men. FDA guidance for women is still evolving, so we’re straight about what’s established and what’s emerging. A licensed Naturopathic Doctor reviews your labs and history and tells you plainly whether treatment fits.

What We Test Before Prescribing TRT

Men’s testosterone declines gradually from the mid-30s and usually shows itself by the early 40s. Women lose testosterone too, most sharply around menopause. And it rarely drops alone: thyroid, stress hormones, and blood sugar all shape how you feel.

A standard panel often stops at total testosterone. Ours doesn’t.

Marker	Why we test it
Total and free testosterone	Total shows your overall level; free shows the portion your body can readily use.
DHT	A more potent hormone made from testosterone. It influences libido and other traits, so we monitor it.
SHBG and estradiol	SHBG affects how much testosterone stays available. Estradiol matters in men too, and TRT can raise it, so we track the balance.
PSA (free and total)	A prostate safety marker we check before and during treatment.
Cortisol and DHEA-S	Stress and adrenal hormones that interact closely with testosterone and energy.
Thyroid (Free T3, Free T4, TSH)	Thyroid issues can mimic low testosterone, so we rule them out first.
Metabolic markers (fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c)	Testosterone and blood sugar regulation often move together, so we assess them alongside.

Because low testosterone affects bone and heart health, we can add a DEXA bone-density scan, a coronary calcium score, or cardiometabolic markers.

How TRT Works at YNC

Consultation.

A thorough review of your symptoms, goals, and medical history, with enough time to actually get through them.

Labs.

On-site blood draw with medical team; your doctor interprets the results with you.

Your plan.

If TRT is right for you, your doctor sets the dose and delivery method: pellets that last 3 to 6 months, injections, creams, gels, or patches. We recheck levels every 3 to 6 months, then twice yearly.

If your labs don’t point to testosterone, we tell you, and we keep looking for what does.

The YNC Clinical Difference

Young Naturopathic Center for Wellness has been doctor-owned and operated since 2004, with over 18,000 patients treated. Dr. Renee Young, NMD, holds California license number 26, was one of the first Naturopathic Doctors licensed in the state, and has treated hormones in men and women for around 25 years. Hormone therapy is the core of her practice.

Plenty of sites will mail you testosterone after a five-minute form. Ask them who reviews your estradiol and PSA at month six. Here, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor rechecks your labs and adjusts your protocol at every follow-up.

“After 3 months… better body composition, a calmer mood, and sleep that doesn’t feel like I’m wrestling a bear all night.”Google Review

FAQs

How Long Should You Be on TRT?

It depends on your lab results, your response to treatment, and your long-term health goals. Your provider reviews your plan at follow-up visits every 3-6 months. They make adjustments as needed.

Who Should Avoid TRT?

TRT is not safe for everyone. It may not suit people with certain health conditions or abnormal lab findings. Our Los Gatos clinic requires a careful medical history and a full lab review. This helps us confirm whether TRT is appropriate and safe for you.

When Will I Start Noticing the Effects of TRT?

Response varies from person to person and depends on baseline health, treatment plan, and ongoing monitoring. Your provider will discuss expectations based on your history and monitor progress over time.
