Regain Strength, Focus & Vitality with Personalized TRT Options
At The Hormone Upgrade in La Jolla, San Diego, we provide evidence-based Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for men using multiple delivery methods: pellets, creams, troches, and injections. Whether you’re struggling with fatigue, low libido, or declining muscle mass, our clinic creates custom plans to help you reclaim your strength, energy, and confidence.
What Is TRT?
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is a form of hormone optimization that restores healthy testosterone levels in men with Low T (low testosterone). Testosterone can begin to decline in your 30s or 40s and may lead to symptoms such as:
- Low energy and motivation
- Weight gain and muscle loss
- Brain fog and poor memory
- Decreased libido or erectile dysfunction
- Mood swings, irritability, or depression
- Poor sleep quality
- Slower recovery from workouts
At The Hormone Upgrade, we offer bioidentical testosterone therapy options to suit your lifestyle and goals—whether you’re just starting out or have tried other treatments in the past.
TRT Delivery Methods Available at Our La Jolla Clinic
Every woman is unique—which is why we offer multiple delivery options for BHRT at our La Jolla clinic:
Pellets
Testosterone pellets are inserted under the skin and release a steady dose over 4–6 months. They’re a popular option among men in San Diego who want long-term results without daily maintenance.
Creams
Topical testosterone creams are applied daily and absorbed through the skin. This method allows for flexible dosing and is ideal for those who prefer non-invasive treatment.
Troches
Troches are sublingual lozenges that dissolve under the tongue for fast absorption. They offer an alternative to injections or creams and are dosed once or twice daily.
Injections
Testosterone injections deliver a concentrated dose directly into the muscle. We offer weekly or bi-weekly injection protocols and guide you through in-office or self-administered options.
Each method has unique benefits, and we’ll help you select the most effective and convenient option based on your hormone levels, goals, and lifestyle.
