Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

Optimize your testosterone level with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at M3 Clinic.

M3 Clinic specializes in science and evidence-based testosterone replacement therapies (TRT) for men and the testosterone effects to men’s health and aging including erectile dysfunction (ED).  Testosterone replacement therapy helps more than erectile dysfunction, it is integral to maintaining your performance and vitality as you age.  Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)  improves your motivation, mood, sleep, energy level, libido, and sexual function.

Helps stop the subtle changes

Scientifically and evidence-based guided testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at M3 Clinic helps stop the subtle changes that come with decreasing testosterone levels like changes in your mood, your motivation, your libido, your abdominal fat, your body composition, your sense of well-being, and your sexual function.  

Addressing your testosterone levels

Most men will experience shifts in their testosterone levels as they age.  A visit to your primary care doctor frequently leads you to believe that your “normal for your age” testosterone levels are in fact “normal” and that you should just tough it out and that you are past your prime. After hearing your complaints of decreased energy, decreased libido, sleep problems, increased body fat, and erectile dysfunction (ED) your doctor may even suggest to you that these are normal effects of aging instead of addressing your testosterone level.  Next comes prescriptions for pills to address high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and acid reflux and you are off and running to an expanding medicine cabinet of pharmaceuticals and unwanted side effects.

This is absolute nonsense and based only on the median testosterone levels of a testosterone pandemic. This slow down and sometimes “feeling not right” doesn’t have to persist.  Testosterone levels are decreasing globally from many factors out of your control.

Consider another option.  Consider just how ridiculous and backward this process is to your health and longevity and why you should take control now.  If you want to help yourself and reverse this unnecessary process you need to take control of this yourself and M3 Clinic is here to help you.  As Tony Robbins says, “You need to become CEO of your health care”.  Consult with M3 Clinic and see how to optimize your testosterone levels.  Actually, and possibly equally important, consider optimizing many of your nutrient levels to where they were when you were younger.

BIOHACKING TIP BY DR. LARSON

Dr. Larson likes to share a very easy and surprisingly effective “bio-hacking” tip with his patients.  One that you can start now, effortlessly, and at home.  A simple “bio-hacking” technique that will improve your life and one that should not be taken for granted.  A “bio-hacking” technique that Dr. Larson uses himself daily.  One of many techniques that helps Dr. Larson enhance his executive function and physical performance.  Dr Larson will share it with you here, now. Ready? 

Get rid of the mouthwash.

Why?  Your cardiovascular system needs nitric oxide to function properly and there are 2 ways to get nitric oxide. Dr. Nathan Bryan, Ph.D. is a recognized expert and thought leader in nitric oxide science. Listen to the expert.  He eloquently explains in his articles and in his books how as we age, all of us, our nitric oxide levels decrease because a decrease in our endogenous nitric oxide production. 

“Every single chronic disease, whether its heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, liver disease, or lung disease, the common denominator in all of them is decreased blood flow, increased inflammation, and nitric oxide is what controls and regulates both of those things.  Nitric oxide decreases inflammation and increases blood flow.”

This is where it gets interesting. 

There are 2 ways to get nitric oxide where it is needed at your cardiovascular system:

1) Endogenous Nitric Oxide:  you make it in the walls of blood vessels where it is most needed, and

2) Exogenous Nitric Oxide:  you consume it - actually you eat nitrates and your body converts nitrate to nitrite and and then nitrite to nitric oxide which is absorbed in your GI system and used by your cardiovascular system, which in turn supports all of your systems.

Back to the tip. If you are using mouthwash, you have to stop. Mouthwash is bad news. Mouthwash kills the normal bacteria in your saliva that you need to start the conversion of the nitrates you eat into the nitric oxide your cardiovascular system needs to survive. People who use mouthwash have higher blood pressure than those who don’t and it puts them at an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. Also, if you use mouthwash and exercise, you lose the cardiovascular benefits of exercise. “Exercise stimulates nitric oxide production and that’s why exercise is medicine.”

Exercise regularly and get rid of the mouthwash to stimulate nitric oxide production.  

It’s consistent techniques like these that help Dr. Larson continue to operate in his “sweet spot” as a clinical neurosurgeon, to teach advanced neurosurgery and spine surgery techniques to neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, to continue to  play hockey against elite 20-30 year old skaters, to qualify for and run the Boston Marathon, to short-line water ski, to continue to invent and to produce medical devices, to pilot his airplane, and to travel, to eat, to exercise, and to enjoy life with family and friends.
