Testosterone therapy requires a live video visit with a licensed provider and laboratory-confirmed diagnosis before treatment can begin. Asynchronous review alone is not sufficient for this treatment.

Testosterone (TRT)

TRT Protocol

100% Online — No Office Visit Required

A TRT protocol includes the evaluation, medication selection, dosing schedule, and monitoring plan your provider creates based on your individual needs.

Overview

TRT is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The specific protocol — including medication type, dose, frequency, and supportive agents — is individualized based on your labs, symptoms, goals, and clinical response.

General Framework

  1. Baseline Labs: Total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, estradiol, CBC, metabolic panel, and PSA.
  2. Provider Evaluation: Review of labs, symptoms, health history, and goals to determine candidacy and appropriate protocol.
  3. Medication Selection: Typically testosterone cypionate or enanthate via injection. Topical options may also be considered.
  4. Starting Dose: Conservative starting doses are typically used, with adjustments based on response and follow-up labs.
  5. Supportive Agents: HCG, gonadorelin, or anastrozole may be added depending on your goals and lab results.
  6. Follow-Up Labs: Labs are typically repeated at 6–8 weeks, then every 3–6 months once stable.
