Our Hormone Optimization Protocols Have a High Success Rate and Target the Root Cause of Low Testosterone

As men age, many notice changes in energy, mood, strength, and sex drive. It’s easy to chalk it up to “getting older,” but in many cases, those changes are tied to low testosterone (Low-T) — a hormone imbalance that can be tested and treated. At Birmingham Health, we understand how frustrating it is to feel like you’re slowing down or losing your edge. We also know there are safe, effective ways to support healthy testosterone levels. With a high success rate, we’re committed to innovative, personalized hormone optimization. We won’t work with someone if we’re not confident we can help. It all begins with an easy consultation and appropriate testing to see whether testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is a good fit for you.

Do You Feel “Off” and Can’t Explain Why?

Low testosterone can show up earlier than most men expect, sometimes in their late 20s or 30s, and the symptoms can creep in gradually or appear all at once. Common signs include feeling down or more anxious and irritable, low libido or sexual performance changes, erectile dysfunction, thinning hair, decreased strength and muscle mass, joint or body aches, hot flashes, brain fog, persistent fatigue even with normal sleep, and weight gain, especially around the belly. Some men notice many of these issues, others only one or two that slowly get worse over time—but in either case, it’s worth looking deeper instead of just “pushing through” and hoping things improve on their own.

Understanding Low Testosterone

While age is a major factor, Low Testosterone (Low-T) is not just an “old man’s problem.” Testosterone production can be affected by:

  • Testicular injury or surgery
  • Certain medications
  • Chemotherapy or radiation therapy
  • Testicular cancer
  • Pituitary gland problems
  • Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

That’s why the first step is always a thorough evaluation and lab testing — not guessing, not self-treating, and not jumping straight into therapy without a plan.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy at Birmingham Health

If your energy, strength, mood, or sex drive just aren’t what they used to be, low testosterone could be part of the problem. At Birmingham Health, we don’t guess—we test. Our team uses medically supervised hormone optimization (including bioidentical TRT when appropriate) to help get your levels back into a healthy range so you can feel like yourself again.

Common signs of Low-T may include:

  • Low libido or changes in sexual performance
  • Fatigue and low energy
  • Mood changes (irritability, anxiety, feeling “down”)
  • Brain fog or trouble concentrating
  • Decreased muscle and increased belly fat
  • Joint or body aches, hot flashes, or sleep problems

How we approach TRT at Birmingham Health:

  • Thorough consultation and review of your symptoms
  • Simple lab testing to measure testosterone and related markers
  • Clear explanation of your results in plain language
  • Personalized TRT plan when appropriate (oral meds, patches, gels/creams, injections, or pellets)
  • Ongoing monitoring and dose adjustments based on your labs and how you feel

Potential benefits of optimized testosterone:

  • More steady energy and stamina
  • Improved strength and muscle tone
  • Healthier sex drive and sexual function
  • More stable mood and clearer thinking
  • Better sleep and overall quality of life

TRT is not for everyone, and we won’t recommend it unless your lab work, history, and goals support it. Our priority is safe, effective, ethical care—not putting every man on hormones.

Is TRT Right for You?

Testosterone Replacement Therapy isn’t for everyone. Some men have normal hormone levels and symptoms driven by stress, sleep, nutrition, or other conditions. Others may have medical reasons why TRT isn’t a good fit. That’s why we never jump straight into treatment.

At Birmingham Health, we always start with:

  • A detailed consultation about your symptoms and goals
  • Thorough blood testing and lab review
  • A careful review of your medical history and current medications

From there, if TRT is appropriate, you’re in the right place:

  • Personalized care: we look at your whole health picture, not just a lab number
  • Bioidentical options when appropriate: designed to mirror your body’s natural hormones
  • Integrated, non-surgical approach: fits with our broader regenerative and wellness services
  • Ongoing support and monitoring: your plan evolves as you do

If we’re not confident TRT is right for you, we’ll be upfront and discuss other options. Our priority at Birmingham Health is safe, effective, ethical care that helps you feel your best for the long term—not putting every man on testosterone.

Great chiro service! After treatments at another chiropractor, I wasn't getting the results I was hoping for. Birmingham Health got me set up with a consult and a treatment plan very quickly and for a fair price. Not even 5 weeks into the treatment, I look forward to going to my next appointment. The relief has been tremendous and I have been able to get back to active hobbies I enjoy 🏌

When I came for the first visit I had no use of my right hand due to a nerve issue. In less than 2 weeks I started having mobility. Now a month in and I have full use of my hand and so much less back and neck pain. The staff is friendly and so kind. If you are looking for an amazing chiropractors office you found it here!

Dr. Alex has truly given life back to our family. With his neuropathy treatment he has helped both my mom and my dad. They both have suffered for years without any great results and had all but given up until they met Dr. Alex. Thank you so much Dr. Alex we are so great full!

First visit and I was nervous. Everyone was so nice and friendly. They made me feel like I was the only patient they had (which I was not). Received my treatment after thorough testing. Woke up this morning in less pain than I have had in over a week. Going back today!! Thank you Bham Health
