When you hear the word “testosterone,” you might think of muscle gains and sex drive. But testosterone plays a much wider role in men’s (and women’s!) health than most people realize. Yes, testosterone affects muscle growth and libido, but it also impacts bones, red blood cells, mood, and longevity.
With testosterone replacement therapy in Overland Park, our team at Karma Beauty & Wellness helps patients not just improve their body composition and regain their confidence after hours. We also help them live a longer, fuller, and healthier life. Read on to learn more about how HRT can improve your life, too.
Stronger Bones
Ever heard of the Testosterone Trials? It kind of sounds like an annual fraternity hazing ceremony. However, it was actually a testosterone-tracking study conducted by the National Institute of Health in 2018. Researchers studied a group of over 750 men to see how taking additional testosterone affected their strength, energy, mood, and more.
During the Bone Trial (looking at bone density), the additional testosterone increased bone density, especially in the spine and hips. So, while testosterone helps increase muscle mass, it also works to improve bone health, lowering the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as men age.
Healthier Blood
The Testosterone Trials also found more than half of men with anemia who took testosterone regained normal hemoglobin levels—a protein in red blood cells. In other words? Testosterone replacement therapy in Overland Park doesn’t just boost energy indirectly, it can correct an underlying cause of fatigue.
Strengthening your bones and improving your blood health addresses silent risks many men might not even realize they face.
Improved Cognitive Health & Mood
Testosterone isn’t just about the physical body. It also has a significant effect on how you think and feel every day.
Irritability, low motivation, and even depression have all been linked to low testosterone. But researchers have found that TRT improves men’s depression and cognitive function.
Live Longer and Happier With Testosterone Replacement Therapy
In Overland Park, our team loves helping boost energy, mood, and vitality for our patients and watching them thrive again. With TRT, you can experience not just improved body composition, weight loss, and higher libido, but those sneaky benefits of testosterone you didn’t even know about.
