Testosterone Testing and Hormone Therapy for Men in Michigan & Florida
Feel Better, Think Sharper, Perform Stronger With Hormone Optimization
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, often leading to changes in mood, energy, libido, and midsection weight gain. The good news? Treating low testosterone can improve how you feel — mentally and physically.

What are the symptoms of low testosterone?
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and plays a crucial role in sexual development, energy levels, muscle mass, and mood. During puberty, it helps boys develop male characteristics like facial hair, a deeper voice, and increased strength.
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age — the older the man, the lower the level tends to be. However, low testosterone (Low-T) can also occur in younger men due to genetics, a testicular injury, illness, or certain medical treatments.
Symptoms of Low-T include fatigue, decreased motivation, weight gain, low libido, depression, and irritability.
Treating low testosterone isn’t just about aesthetics or performance — it’s about restoring vitality, confidence, and quality of life. Our low-maintenance testosterone pellet therapy avoids weekly injections and frequent clinic visits, making treatment easy and consistent.
Within just a few weeks, many men report feeling stronger, more focused, and more like they did 5 or 10 years ago— whether they’re in their 30s or 60s.
Treating low testosterone improves energy, focus, sex drive, stamina, midsection weight gain and muscle mass.
Do I have low testosterone? (The “normal testosterone range” is a big lie.)
Most doctors evaluate testosterone using the “normal reference range,” which gets lower with each passing decade. That means your testosterone could drop from 800 to 400 ng/dL, and you’ll still be told you’re “normal” — even though your levels have been cut in half.
But just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it’s optimal.
At RegenCen, we take a different approach. In Regenerative Medicine, the goal is to keep testosterone in an ideal range, not just accept age-related decline.
“That’s why regenerative medicine is different than my years in primary care,” says RegenCen Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gustav Lo.
“We aim to optimize, not just normalize. If we can return your testosterone to younger, healthier levels and reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cognitive decline — while also helping you feel stronger and more vital — why wouldn’t we?”
Testosterone peaks in your 20s around 1,000 ng/dL, then steadily declines. By your mid-50s, many men fall below 400 ng/dL — a level still considered “normal,” despite symptoms like fatigue, shrinking muscle mass, increased belly fat, and low motivation.
“You can’t really blame most doctors,” Dr. Lo adds. “It’s what we were all taught — and there’s still fear in medicine about changing the so-called natural course of aging.”
But testosterone replacement is about changing the natural course. “That’s the whole point,” Lo says. “In Regenerative Medicine, we are extending your healthspan, not just trying to keep you alive and deteriorating for a longer time.”
Many men assume that having less energy, lower sex drive, weight gain, and a lack of motivation is just part of getting older. But the truth is — you don’t have to accept it.
With the right testosterone replacement therapy, those core parts of you — your strength, drive, focus, and confidence — may return faster than you expect.
“Your muscles, metabolism, brain, even your instincts — they all rely on hormonal stimulation. And a ‘normal’ 400 ng/dL level usually isn’t enough,” says Dr. Gustav Lo.
Testosterone Optimization, Made Simple
At RegenCen, we make testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) easy and effective — with clinics across Michigan and Florida, and a process built for men who want long-term results without constant clinic visits.
Here’s what to expect:
Meet with a hormone expert — You’ll consult directly with Dr. Gustav Lo or one of our specialized medical providers to review your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle goals.
Get labs drawn — We’ll check your testosterone level and other important labs to rule out other causes of symptoms.
Personalized testosterone dosing — If your testosterone is low, we’ll calculate the ideal pellet dose to bring your levels back to optimal — not just age-adjusted “normal.”
Pellet insertion — In a quick, 5-minute in-office procedure, we place Tic-Tac-sized pellets under the skin, where they release testosterone steadily for 5–6 months.
Ongoing monitoring — We check labs every 6 months to make sure your levels stay safe and effective. No rollercoaster dosing. No weekly shots.
Over 90% of men continue pellet therapy long term — and it’s one of our most popular treatments, with high satisfaction among men of all ages.
The typical symptoms of low testosterone
Testosterone replacement therapy: say goodbye to 5 cups of coffee to get through the day.
Starting around age 30, testosterone levels in men begin to decline steadily, year after year. By the time a man reaches his 50s, his testosterone testing may show his levels are half of what it was in his 20s — a condition commonly known as low testosterone or Low-T.
And it’s not just age. Modern life — including stress, poor sleep, environment, and sedentary work culture — all contribute to hormonal decline.
Because the symptoms come on gradually, many men don’t realize it’s happening. They chalk up fatigue, grumpiness, brain fog, low motivation, and insomnia to “just getting older.” It’s common to turn to caffeine, energy drinks, or sleeping pills to cope — but those are just short-term fixes.
Often, the root cause is suboptimal testosterone levels, and addressing that directly can lead to better energy, focus, sleep, and performance — without relying on quick-fix crutches.
Feeling Drained, Frustrated, or Foggy? It Might Be Low T
You might not have noticed the signs at first — like searching for your car keys while holding them in your hand. But subtle symptoms of low testosterone often creep in quietly: low energy, lack of focus, poor sleep, irritability, or a fading sex drive.
Many of our patients didn’t realize just how bad they felt until after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with hormone pellets. Then it hits them — their mood improves, libido and erections return, and building muscle and losing fat feels possible again.
If you feel sluggish, unmotivated, or like life is dragging you instead of you driving it, your testosterone levels may not be optimal — and you might be experiencing Low T.
The good news? Help is simple, long-lasting, and closer than you think.
