While these changes were once considered an inevitable part of aging, modern science now offers solutions to help you feel like yourself again. By rebalancing your hormones, we can address these symptoms and help restore your vitality, allowing you to live life with renewed confidence and energy—no matter your age.

If these sound familiar, we’re here to help. Let’s create a plan tailored to your needs
Testosterone therapy offers numerous advantages for men experiencing age-related hormonal changes, including:
I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring medical professional.
Start with a no-pressure, 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your symptoms and health goals. We'll also ask you to fill out a Low T Screening Form to better understand your unique needs.
After your initial consultation, you'll schedule lab tests to measure your hormone levels. This helps us get a clear picture of your current health and determine if testosterone therapy is right for you.
Once your labs are in, we'll meet to go over the results together. I'll explain the findings and, if appropriate, we'll discuss how testosterone therapy could help restore your vitality and balance your hormones.
If testosterone therapy is a good fit, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle, helping you feel your best once again.
Symptoms like fatigue, low libido, trouble building muscle, and changes in mood or sleep patterns can indicate low testosterone levels. The best way to know for sure is through a blood test. If your testosterone levels are lower than normal, testosterone therapy could be a solution to restore balance and improve your well-being.
Most patients begin to feel improvements in energy, mood, and sleep within a few weeks. Full benefits, such as increased muscle mass and libido, can take a few months. Results vary by individual, but we will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed.
The frequency of testosterone therapy depends on the treatment plan that’s best for you. Most patients receive therapy via weekly or bi-weekly injections, though other methods like topical gels or pellets may be an option. We’ll work with you to determine the best approach for your needs.
The most common medications we use for medical weight loss are tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) and semaglutide (brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®). These medications are once weekly injectables that you can self administer at home (detailed instruction and oversight is provided). You will meet with Amanda to determine the best option for you (you would only be on one of these medications, not both).
Testosterone therapy is typically administered through a self-injection twice weekly. The injection is easy to administer at home using a small, fine needle. We’ll guide you through the process during your initial consultation and provide detailed instructions to make it as simple and comfortable as possible. If you prefer, you can also schedule appointments at our office for assistance with your injections.
Testosterone therapy is generally safe when monitored properly, but potential side effects include acne, increased red blood cell count, or changes in mood. We’ll regularly track your progress and labs to ensure your therapy is effective and side effects are minimal.
At Golden Hour, we do not accept insurance, but we do accept HSA or FSA cards. Because we use compounding pharmacies and direct suppliers for testosterone therapy, we can offer more affordable treatment options compared to brand-name medications. We can also provide itemized receipts for potential reimbursement through your insurance.
Golden Hour does not accept insurance, but we gladly accept HSA or FSA cards for payment. This allows you to use pre-tax dollars to cover the cost of your care.
