Who this is for

Men experiencing symptoms that may be associated with low testosterone, including:
  • Persistent fatigue or low energy that does not improve with rest
  • Decreased libido, decreased number and quality of erections
  • Loss of muscle mass or strength despite training
  • Increased difficulty maintaining a healthy body composition
  • Mood changes, irritability, or low motivation
  • Disrupted sleep, brain fog, or reduced focus
These symptoms can have many causes. Replacement therapy is one possible answer, and requires clinical evaluation that includes laboratory confirmation.

If you want to preserve fertility, please read this first

Please see your endocrinologist if you desire TRT replacement, and want to preserve fertility at the same time. If preserving fertility is a goal for you now or in the future, the right approach will be seeing a reproductive specialist before considering TRT. Brief discussion of your fertility preserving treatments will be offered to you at Wellness & Longevity during your initial consultation at no extra charge.

How treatment works

  1. Provider exam, first visit ($100). Symptom intake, medical history, physical exam, and review of your lab results. The $100 fee covers the visit and the lab interpretation. Laboratory testing is a separate cost you arrange directly, which keeps your total down. You are welcome to bring relevant previous lab work you already have for comparison.
  2. Laboratory testing (you choose your lab). Bloodwork is required before any prescription, and patients must have indications and lab results confirming the clinical need for testosterone replacement. You obtain your labs through a low-cost direct-access lab such as JustLabs or DirectLabs, or a lab of your choice. We provide the lab order and review the results with you. Direct-access labs are usually far less expensive than insurance-billed testing.
  3. Lab review and treatment plan. We review your lab results together at the follow up visit. If the clinical picture supports replacement therapy, we prescribe and give FDA-approved testosterone cypionate injections.
  4. Weekly injections ($45 each). Injections are administered in the office, with limited doses available for self-administration while away from the office if needed. The skill of self-injecting will be taught to you free of charge. Any take-home doses are strictly monitored for any diversion in compliance with DEA and drug vendor guidance.
  5. Follow-up labs and visits. Recheck labs at three to four months after starting therapy, then annually. If therapy continues without gaps, no separate annual exam fee is charged.

What we prescribe

This practice prescribes FDA-approved testosterone cypionate injections only. We do not offer pellets. We do not offer compounded preparations. The reason is straightforward: FDA-approved testosterone cypionate has decades of clinical use, established dosing data, and a manufacturing standard that compounded products are not held to. For most men with confirmed low testosterone, it is the appropriate and effective choice.

What ongoing care looks like

TRT is an ongoing medical relationship, not a one-time prescription. After starting therapy:
  • Initial follow-up labs at three to four months to assess response and adjust dose if needed
  • Annual labs thereafter
  • Visits to discuss how you are feeling, side effects if any, and whether the current dose still fits
  • Monitoring for known TRT considerations including hematocrit, PSA where appropriate, and other clinical markers
If gaps occur in therapy or labs are not kept current, evaluation may need to start over. Continuous monitoring is what makes long-term TRT both safe and effective.

Important considerations

TRT is not appropriate for every man. Reasons we may not prescribe include:
  • Active or untreated prostate cancer or breast cancer
  • Severe untreated sleep apnea
  • Uncontrolled congestive heart failure
  • Elevated hematocrit or polycythemia
  • Plans for fertility (see fertility note above; speak with an endocrinologist before TRT)
  • Other medical conditions identified during evaluation
Side effects are possible. Common ones discussed during the evaluation include changes in red blood cell count, fluid retention, mood changes, acne, and fertility impact. Ongoing labs and visits are how we identify and manage these.

How much does TRT cost in Roseville?
The provider fee for your initial evaluation, which covers the exam and lab interpretation, is $100. Weekly testosterone cypionate injections are $45 each. Laboratory testing is a separate cost you arrange through a direct-access lab such as JustLabs or DirectLabs, usually far less than insurance-billed labs. There is no separate annual exam fee for patients who continue therapy without gaps.
Why are the labs separate now?
Unbundling the labs lets you use a low-cost direct-access lab such as JustLabs or DirectLabs and pay only for the testing you need, which is usually far less than insurance-billed bloodwork. You pay the $100 provider fee for the exam and the interpretation, and you pay the lab directly for the panel. We provide the order and review every result with you.
How long until I feel a difference?
Most men begin to notice changes in energy, mood, and libido within four to six weeks of starting therapy. Changes in body composition and muscle response take longer, typically three to six months, and depend on training and nutrition alongside the therapy.
Will TRT affect my fertility?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone replacement therapy will impact fertility. If preserving fertility is a current or future goal, please see an endocrinologist before considering TRT. The fertility-preserving care path is different from standard TRT and is appropriately managed by a specialist.
How is treatment monitored?
Through follow-up labs at three to four months and annually, plus visits to assess response, side effects, and whether the current dose still fits. Monitoring includes the standard markers tracked for TRT, including hematocrit and other clinical labs as appropriate.
Do you offer pellet therapy or compounded testosterone preparations?
No. This practice prescribes FDA-approved testosterone cypionate injections only. The FDA-approved formulation has decades of clinical evidence and a manufacturing standard that pharmacy-compounded products are not held to, which is why it is the appropriate first-line choice for most men with confirmed low testosterone.
Am I a candidate?
That is a clinical question that requires a full evaluation. Symptoms, history, exam, and lab values all factor in. The $100 initial evaluation is the right way to find out.
Is this covered by insurance?
This practice operates as a cash-pay practice for hormone services. Some patients use HSA or FSA funds toward the fees. Laboratory testing is arranged directly through a low-cost direct-access lab such as JustLabs or DirectLabs and paid to the lab, not billed to insurance. The provider fee for the evaluation is $100.
