Testosterone is an essential hormone for health and wellbeing in both men and women. As we age, testosterone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms like low energy, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, poor concentration, irritability, and depressed mood. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore testosterone to healthy levels, improving these symptoms and enhancing quality of life.
The Hormone Hub in Victorville offers cutting-edge testosterone treatments utilizing the latest therapies and technology. Our exceptional medical team has years of experience optimizing testosterone levels and helping patients feel their best. This article provides an overview of our testosterone treatments and how they can benefit residents of Victorville and surrounding areas.

The wide-ranging benefits of testosterone make it critical for supporting optimal health and an active lifestyle. That's why testosterone therapy can be life-changing for those with low testosterone.
The first step is diagnosing low testosterone levels, also known as hypogonadism. The Hormone Hub conducts advanced hormone testing to accurately measure testosterone and help determine if hormone therapy is appropriate.
Symptoms of low testosterone in men may include:
Symptoms in women can include:
However, symptoms alone do not diagnose low testosterone. Accurate lab testing is essential. The Hormone Hub offers state-of-the-art testosterone testing using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the gold standard for precision and accuracy.
We also test other relevant hormones and health markers to fully assess hormone balance and health status. Our experts carefully evaluate results to determine if hormone therapy can help.
If low testosterone is diagnosed, The Hormone Hub offers cutting-edge testosterone treatment options to meet each patient's unique needs and preferences:
Testosterone injections, such as testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate, can rapidly restore testosterone levels. Injections are administered weekly or biweekly. Robust increases in testosterone typically occur within weeks.
Testosterone gels provide flexible daily dosing. Gels such as AndroGel or Testim are applied to the arms or abdomen daily and absorb into the skin. Gels produce stable testosterone levels without peaks and troughs.
Testosterone pellets are bio-identical hormone pellets implanted under the skin. Pellets slowly release testosterone over 3-6 months. This provides steady testosterone levels without daily or weekly dosing. Pellets are an excellent option for those seeking stable long-term therapy.
hCG mimics luteinizing hormone to stimulate natural testosterone production. When combined with testosterone therapy, hCG maintains sperm production and testicular function.
For some patients, Clomid can restart natural testosterone production. Clomid blocks estrogen receptors, stimulating increased luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone to boost testosterone.
The Hormone Hub testosterone treatments are highly customizable. Our experts work closely with each patient to choose the optimal regimen based on lifestyle, preferences, goals and health status.
We offer only bio-identical hormones, not synthetic steroids. Our treatments are designed to restore testosterone to healthy, youthful levels, not supra-physiological bodybuilding levels. Safety is our top priority.
Testosterone treatments can help improve bone density and increase muscle mass in older men with low testosterone levels. While often associated with negative side effects like aggression, studies show testosterone therapy can actually improve mood and cognitive function when used appropriately under medical supervision.
The Hormone Hub provides complete care that goes far beyond prescriptions. We strive to enhance our patients' overall vitality and wellbeing.
We conduct follow-up testing and consultations to ensure therapies are optimized. Our doctors and nurses are available for any questions or concerns. We adjust regimens based on follow-up testing and feedback.
Lifestyle and nutrition counseling helps patients achieve maximum benefits from therapy. A healthy diet, nutritious supplements, regular exercise, stress reduction, and quality sleep optimize improvements in energy, body composition, and metabolic parameters.
Mental health support is included if needed. Increased energy, confidence, motivation and other testosterone benefits can greatly improve mental wellbeing. But therapy may unearth previously unrecognized issues needing professional counseling. We guide patients to proper psychiatric care.
The Hormone Hub accepts most major insurances. We work with patients to navigate insurance questions, approvals, requirements and paperwork.
We customize treatment plans and provide ongoing support to help each patient thrive on therapy. Our goal is complete health optimization with testosterone therapy.
