HAVE A QUESTION?
WE HAVE AN ANSWER.

There is no age limit for testosterone therapy. Testosterone therapy produces benefits for men of all ages.

The hypothalamus and pituitary detect the presence of testosterone and regulate production in the body. When levels of testosterone are properly regulated, natural production does diminish within the body because optimum levels are achieved. When testosterone levels fall due to discontinuing therapy or therapy interruptions, the hypothalamus and pituitary detect the drop and resume the chemical signaling that results in the natural production of testosterone.

‍

However, for a man who has Low-T, the body either transmits inadequate signals to produce sufficient testosterone naturally, or the body cannot respond appropriately to the signals to produce sufficient testosterone. Therefore, patients who have Low-T and discontinue therapy will most likely return to their natural baseline production, but their baseline level is, in effect, inadequate

Every patient has a unique set of factors affecting how rapidly the injections work for them, including other medical conditions, medications, body fat percentage, severity of testosterone deficiency, etc. Although most patients feel some degree of improvement within four to six weeks, some people feel improvement after the first injection. The increase will be subtle at first, but will start to culminate after several weeks on treatment. If symptoms don’t improve after a few weeks of therapy, we will draw labs, discuss dosing and if alternative treatment options are needed.

There are many different blood tests that all have different “reference ranges”. However, it is important to understand how those reference ranges are determined. For purposes of serum testosterone reference ranges, the “norms” are not age-adjusted, in other words, men ages 18-80 are thrown in to the same patient population, thus a wide spectrum from 250-1100 is now considered “normal”. However, it is our belief that a 20 year old should not have the same testosterone level as an average 70 year old and be considered in the range of “normal” or “low normal”. Multiple studies have demonstrated that testosterone levels should not be expected to drop significantly just due to aging. Thus, for those men with Low-T symptoms who have what some consider “borderline levels” treatment with testosterone is often clinically supported and recommended.

Hypogonadism is a chronic condition for many men. There are some who have temporary conditions leading to Low-T, which include significant infection or other short-term physical or emotional stress. However, for many patients who have been feeling the symptoms of Low-T for more than just a few months, the condition is long-standing and will require testosterone replacement. Just as a diabetic can require insulin or someone with hypothyroidism can require thyroid replacement to be healthy, someone with hypogonadism can require testosterone replacement to be at his best indefinitely.

At Victory we offer inter-muscular injections, subcutaneous injections, cream, and pellets. We belief in a customized approach and shared decision making with the patient on what will best suit their needs.

Pellets are inserted in the upper buttocks through a tiny incision which is then covered with a steri-strip. Local anesthesia is used prior to insertion and you’ll feel almost nothing at all during the 10-minute procedure other than perhaps a little pressure when the pellets are inserted through the trocar. Other than bruising and possibly some minor discomfort afterwards, there are rarely any complications from this simple procedure. After insertion, we suggest that you avoid strenuous physical activity for 48 hours and refrain from swimming or soaking in the bathtub for 3-5 days.

Some patients could experience one or more of the following side effects:

‍

Increase in red blood cells

‍

This can be beneficial if you have anemia. However, we monitor this and if necessary to reduce your number of red blood cells, a simple and quick blood donation that is commonly referred to as a “therapeutic phlebotomy,” will be performed. Polycythemia is sometimes called erythrocytosis, but the terms are not synonymous because polycythemia refers to any increase in red blood cells, whereas erythrocytosis only refers to a documented increase of red cell mass. Testosterone replacement therapy sometimes increases hemoglobin and hematocrit with or without an increase the red cell mass.

‍

Prostate effects

‍

If you have a history of prostate cancer, a prior clearance from your urologist who is overseeing your care will be needed. Although, testosterone does NOT cause prostate cancer.

‍

Skin reactions

‍

Acne and oily skin have been reported. These side effects are not very common, but if they occur, they often are transient.

‍

‍Sperm Count

‍

Testosterone reduces the production of a man’s sperm during therapy. However testosterone is not to be used as a contraceptive as men still can convince while on testosterone.

‍

Fluid retention

‍

Although uncommon, you must use caution if you have a history of heart failure or kidney disease.

Testosterone boosters taken orally are generally not recommended due to the risk of liver toxicity. However, Kyzatrex, an FDA-approved oral testosterone undecanoate, does not have harm to the liver. It has a short half-life when taken orally, requiring twice daily dosing, and may offer symptom management sufficient for some men.

Because we are in a low testosterone epidemic! Alarming scientific evidence recently presented in a well-researched report shows American men 35 to 70 years old are plagued with testosterone levels significantly lower than their fathers before them.

‍

Some scientists blame record low levels of testosterone on a combination of environmental factors such as phytoestrogens in plants like soy, flame retardants in computers and furniture, hormones in our food supply, and BPA in plastic containers.

Traditionally, testosterone and estrogen have been considered to be male and female sex hormones, respectively. However, estradiol, the predominant form of estrogen, also plays a critical role in male sexual function. Estradiol in men is essential for modulating libido, erectile function, and spermatogenesis.

‍

If you are currently on testosterone therapy and you don’t know your estradiol level, you need to find a specialist that understands the importance of both testosterone and estradiol. You can’t have one without the other.

Depending on what size IV bag you opt for, on an average it takes around 20 minutes for a vitamin drip and can take up to an hour for the larger bag.

The Myers cocktail is an all-time celebrity favorite! It is the ultimate vitamin infusion that contains the most studied vitamin mixture created by Dr. John Meyer in the 1950s. The Meyers cocktail contains multiple high dose vitamins for optimizing your immunity, neuro-function, metabolic energy, and cell recovery. It has been studied in multiple chronic fatigue and life debilitating disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, and dementia just to name a few.

The frequency of IV therapy is determined on a patient by patient basis. For example, someone undergoing high dose Vitamin C therapy for cancer treatment may receive three IV drips a week, whereas a generally healthy individual may only require IV drip therapy twice a month. Diagnostic tests are available to better determine how often a person should be receiving treatments.

GAINSWAVE is a protocol for men that improves sexual performance and keeps the penis healthy. It is not a device. It is simply a protocol. The most common devices used to perform WAVE Therapy are the EVIVE or Storz.

There have been multiple studies that verify the effectiveness of the shockwave treatment. This therapy has been used in Europe for more than 15 years with great success.

Getting an erection is a complex chain reaction involving your brain, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and hormones—but it ultimately comes down to blood flow. ED pills like Viagra or Cialis help by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical your body releases during arousal. This relaxes the blood vessels in the penis, allowing more blood to flow in and stay there. These medications help you get and maintain an erection by keeping blood in the penis longer—but they still require sexual stimulation to be effective.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some men prefer Viagra for its fast onset, while others like Cialis because it lasts longer and works more subtly. Clinical trials show similar success rates across different ED meds, so the “best” pill depends on how your body responds, your lifestyle, and your preferences. Many men try more than one to find what works best for them.

Not at all. While medications can be a helpful tool for some patients, Victory customizes every plan based on your labs, lifestyle, and goals. We offer effective non-medication options, including targeted supplementation, nutrition support, hormone optimization, and personalized coaching.

If you’re a candidate for a GLP-1 weight loss medication and prefer to use Zepbound (Eli Lilly’s brand-name medication), we can prescribe it through LillyDirect. Once approved, you’ll be able to conveniently fulfill your order through their online platform.

We use the InBody scale, a state-of-the-art body composition analyzer that does more than track weight. It measures key metrics like body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and visceral fat to give us a clear picture of your progress.

‍

This helps our team tailor your plan to ensure you’re losing fat—not muscle. In fact, we don’t just aim to preserve muscle, we work to help you build it. Muscle isn’t just about looking good—it’s a key indicator of longevity and overall health.

Absolutely. Hormones play a critical role in how your body stores fat, builds muscle, and regulates metabolism. Low testosterone in men is often linked to increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, and lower energy levels—all of which can make weight loss more difficult.

‍

By optimizing your hormones, we can help rebalance your system to support fat loss, improve muscle composition, and boost energy so you can stay consistent with your plan and reach your goals faster.

Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses specific LED wavelengths (red/near-infrared) to target cells and boost mitochondrial energy—no heat stress required. An infrared sauna primarily uses infrared heat to warm your body core, raise heart rate, and trigger sweating (cardio-like effect). Think cellular signal vs. heat stress

It’s a noninvasive therapy that uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths from LEDs to deliver light energy to your cells—similar to how plants absorb sunlight—supporting natural repair and optimal function.

Common goals include supporting skin health (anti-aging), calming acne, easing aches and pains, reducing post-workout soreness, increased blood flow, and promoting overall recovery and resilience.

Treatments feel gently warm—not hot. Most people describe a calm, relaxing experience with a “steady energy” feeling afterward.

A carotid ultrasound (IMT) to catch early plaque, Max Pulse to estimate arterial age and stiffness, SphygmoCor for central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity, plus advanced Boston Heart bloodwork.

Carotid intima–media thickness and plaque analysis reveal atherosclerosis early—and plaque vulnerability—helping predict heart attack or stroke risk before symptoms.

ApoB counts the atherogenic particles that drive plaque; Lp(a) is a genetic risk marker that can elevate risk even when LDL looks “normal.” Together, they sharpen risk assestment and guide targeted prevention.

Max Pulse gives a quick, non-invasive read on arterial stiffness and your arteries’ “biological age.” SphygmoCor measures central blood pressure and arterial elasticity (PWV/PWA) for a deeper view than a cuff alone.

We go beyond basic labs—measuring 70+ biomarkers across hormones, cardiometabolic risk, thyroid, inflammation, and key nutrients. It’s an in-depth panel that far exceeds what most patients receive at a routine primary-care checkup.
