Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Spring Valley, CA
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in Spring Valley, CA
You’re not lazy. You’re not “just getting older.” If the gas tank feels empty by 3 p.m., workouts take days to recover from, patience is thin, and the midsection won’t cooperate, there’s a decent chance low testosterone is part of the story. At SD Weight Loss Center in Spring Valley, CA, we treat testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) like real medicine—labs first, straight talk, and dosing that fits a normal week, not a fantasy routine.
Care is led by Michael Woo-Ming, MD, MPH—Mayo Clinic–trained, practicing in SoCal since the late ’90s. He reads the numbers, listens to how you actually live, and builds a plan you can run without turning your life into a science project.
What TRT actually fixes (and what it doesn’t)
Testosterone touches energy, mood, focus, sleep, muscle, and body composition. When it drifts low, you notice it as slow recovery, softer strength, brain fog, shorter fuse, flatter libido, and a waistband that keeps inching forward. TRT restores a healthy range so your system can behave like itself again. It’s not about chasing bodybuilder levels or becoming someone else—it’s about getting you back.
What it won’t do: outrun junk sleep, replace protein you didn’t eat, or cover for zero movement. We’ll help you fix those too so TRT isn’t doing all the work alone.
Signs you might be a good candidate
- Energy tanking even with decent sleep
- A short fuse you don’t recognize
- Softer muscle + stubborn belly despite effort
- Focus that wanders; motivation that stalls
- Libido downshifted or performance inconsistent
- Long, annoying recovery after simple workouts
How we do TRT here (no cowboy dosing)
Step 1
Testing, not guessing.
We draw a full panel: total and free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, thyroid, A1c/insulin, lipids, vitamin D, CBC, and anything your history flags. Low-T symptoms can come from thyroid or sleep issues; we catch that before we start.
Step 2
A plan that fits your life.
If labs confirm deficiency, we’ll map the route: Injections for steady levels and fast turnaround Topicals if you prefer skin application and daily rhythm Selective meds (e.g., clomiphene) to nudge your own production in certain cases No one gets a one-size script. We pick the path you’ll actually follow.
Step 3
The boring stuff that makes results last.
Protein targets that protect muscle. Two or three short strength sessions that fit around the 125 commute. Bedtime that lets hormones reset. If you’re also running GLP-1 or medical weight loss, we’ll sequence dosing so appetite, strength, and recovery line up.
Step 4
Monitor, adjust, repeat.
Labs at sensible intervals. We watch hematocrit, estradiol, PSA, lipids, and how you feel. Doses change by data, not vibe.
Why not just buy “boosters”?
How it feels, month by month
Weeks 2–4
The afternoon crash eases first. Sleep steadies when bedtime is sane. Mornings stop feeling like uphill.
Weeks 4–8
Drive and focus return. Lifts feel more honest. You recover faster. Mood has edges again—in a good way.
Months 3–6
Body comp shifts if protein and lifting are in place. Belly eases down, shoulders and legs reappear. The “this is me again” moment shows up somewhere in here.
Spring Valley reality, built in
Safety, side effects, and the internet myths
Done right, TRT is monitored medicine. Side effects usually come from poor oversight or ego dosing. We keep hematocrit, estradiol, and PSA in range; we manage aromatization; we don’t chase giant numbers. If something looks off, we adjust. If TRT isn’t the move, we say so. Simple.
Common internet myths we ignore:
- “TRT is forever, no matter what.” Not true. Some men cycle or switch to restarts when appropriate.
- “TRT ruins fertility by default.” It can reduce it while on therapy; we plan around goals and discuss alternatives/stacks when kids are in the picture.
- “One vial fits everyone.” Not even close.
