5 Smart Reasons to Consider Testosterone Therapy
Oct 07, 2025
Low testosterone, also known as low T, means your blood contains less than 250-300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) of the hormone. Once this happens, numerous aspects of your well-being can be impacted.
While anyone can develop low T, it becomes increasingly likely from middle age on. Thankfully, there are solutions. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) starts restoring hormone balance within a few weeks.
Our expert team at Kane Health in Silicon Valley, Redwood City, and the San Francisco Bay area of California offers TRT to reduce your bothersome symptoms and help you thrive.
Here’s a look at five smart reasons to consider this low T treatment.
Testosterone helps your body convert food into energy by enhancing mitochondrial function. Without enough of the hormone, you can experience significant drops in energy plus related symptoms, such as fatigue, low stamina, and reduced alertness.
Low T can negatively impact numerous aspects of your sexual health.
Common sex-related symptoms of low testosterone include erectile dysfunction (ED), low libido, and a reduced ability to ejaculate. In some cases, low levels of the hormone lead to testicle shrinkage and low sperm production, which can reduce your fertility.
Too little testosterone can change your appearance in ways many men find challenging. For example, you might notice less body hair and increased breast size. Meanwhile, you may struggle to maintain or build muscle mass as belly fat accumulates.
In addition to feeling stressed about other low testosterone symptoms, lacking the hormone may independently fuel depressed moods. Research shows that testosterone therapy, particularly in high doses, alleviates depression in many men.
Testosterone helps regulate your circadian rhythms, or your wakeful and sleeping cycle.
For some people with low T, difficulty falling or staying asleep is an early and debilitating sign. A testosterone deficiency can also reduce your sleep quality, leading you to feel unrested despite a solid night’s sleep, and raise your risk for sleep apnea.
Testosterone replacement therapy provides supplemental testosterone to restore healthy levels. Our team offers TRT through numerous delivery systems, including:
