Lab-Based Hormone Care
Hormone Therapy & TRT
Testosterone replacement and hormone therapy built on bloodwork and medical evaluation — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Book a ConsultationWhat Is Hormone Therapy?
Addressing Low Energy, Mood, and Vitality at the Root
Fatigue, low mood, reduced muscle mass, low libido, and difficulty concentrating can have many causes — hormone imbalance is one of them. Haven's clinical team evaluates whether a hormone imbalance is actually present before recommending treatment, rather than starting therapy based on symptoms alone.
For men with confirmed low testosterone, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can help restore levels to a healthy range. Other patients may be evaluated for different hormone imbalances depending on their labs, symptoms, and health goals.
Because hormone therapy affects multiple body systems, Haven reviews your full medical history and current medications, discusses realistic expectations and risks, and monitors your labs on a regular schedule once treatment begins.
What's Included
Why Haven
Evidence Before Treatment, Not Instead of It
Lab-Based, Not Guesswork
Treatment decisions start with comprehensive bloodwork — not symptoms alone.
Ongoing Monitoring
Follow-up labs track hormone levels and relevant markers so your plan is adjusted, not set-and-forget.
Integrated With Your Care
Coordinated with your psychiatric and primary wellness plan at Haven, not treated as a separate, siloed service.
Medically Supervised
Dosing and any medication changes are directed by Haven's clinical team, with risks and alternatives reviewed up front.
A Mindful Approach to TRT
Exogenous vs. Endogenous Testosterone
Exogenous testosterone is testosterone your body receives from an outside source — an injection, gel, or pellet. Endogenous testosterone is what your own body naturally produces. Starting exogenous testosterone can signal your body to slow or stop its own endogenous production — a normal physiological response, but one that deserves to be managed thoughtfully rather than left unaddressed.
At Haven, we're mindful of that trade-off. Alongside testosterone therapy, we offer options such as HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and other modalities intended to support your body's own hormone signaling rather than replacing it outright.
This approach can matter even more for certain patients — including those with a history of prostate cancer, those trying to preserve fertility, or those who simply prefer a more holistic, step-wise path rather than starting with full replacement.
When the body's signaling shifts significantly after starting exogenous testosterone, some patients notice effects such as difficulty or an inability to orgasm, enlarged breast tissue (gynecomastia), or emotional dysregulation. TRT can be genuinely helpful, but it works best as personalized care — planned and monitored with your full history in mind, not applied the same way to everyone.
Men's Health
Sexual Function & Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Most men who come to Haven asking about testosterone are interested for one of three reasons — sexual function, energy, or muscle mass — and sexual function is, by far, the most common. We also see patients referred for erectile dysfunction on its own, with no other testosterone-related symptoms at all. Because ED can have hormonal, vascular, and psychological contributors, we look at it from more than one angle rather than assuming testosterone is always the answer:
PT-141
A peptide option discussed in clinician-guided sexual-wellness protocols for men and women — see our Peptide Menu.
Emsella
A non-invasive pelvic-floor treatment that can support sexual and urinary function without medication.
TRT
When lab-confirmed low testosterone is a contributing factor, testosterone replacement is evaluated alongside other options.
HCG
Used to support the body's own hormone signaling, particularly for patients also on testosterone therapy.
Because Haven is a psychiatric practice as well as a wellness practice, we're also positioned to look at the psychiatric side of sexual function — stress, anxiety, depression, and certain medications can all play a role in ED. If you're dealing with ED alone, you don't need another symptom to justify a consultation.
Men's Health
Muscle Mass & Body Composition
Muscle mass is the third most common reason men come to Haven asking about testosterone. When labs confirm low testosterone, TRT is often the primary path forward — but for patients focused specifically on muscle maintenance, lean mass, or recovery, growth-hormone-signaling and tissue-repair peptides can be a complementary or alternative avenue, depending on your labs and goals.
CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin
Growth-hormone-releasing peptides used together in clinician-guided protocols to support lean mass, recovery, and body composition — see our Peptide Menu.
Tesamorelin
A growth-hormone-releasing peptide also used in body-composition protocols — see our Peptide Menu.
BPC-157
A recovery and tissue-repair peptide sometimes paired with training or rehab goals — see our Peptide Menu.
TRT
When lab-confirmed low testosterone is a contributing factor, testosterone replacement is evaluated alongside peptide options.
These peptide options are discussed with your clinician alongside your labs — see the full Growth-Hormone Signaling & Performance and Recovery & Tissue Repair groups on our Peptide Menu for pricing and details.
What to Expect
From Labs to Ongoing Care
Comprehensive Evaluation
A full hormone panel plus a review of your symptoms, medical history, and medications to determine whether a real imbalance is present.
Personalized Plan
If therapy is appropriate, your clinician explains the options, expected effects, timeline, and risks before you begin.
Monitoring & Adjustment
Follow-up labs are scheduled to track your levels and relevant health markers, with dosing adjusted as needed rather than left unchecked.
Questions
Hormone Therapy & TRT FAQ
Do I need bloodwork before starting TRT?
Yes. Haven confirms low testosterone (or another hormone imbalance) with lab testing before recommending treatment. Therapy is not started on reported symptoms alone.
Who is a candidate for testosterone replacement therapy?
Adults with lab-confirmed low testosterone and related symptoms — such as low energy, reduced muscle mass, or low libido — may be candidates. Suitability also depends on your broader health history, since TRT is not appropriate for everyone.
Does hormone therapy have risks?
Yes. Like any medical treatment, hormone therapy carries potential risks and requires monitoring. Your clinician reviews these with you individually rather than presenting therapy as risk-free.
How often will I need follow-up labs?
Your clinician sets a monitoring schedule based on your treatment and response — this is discussed as part of your personalized plan, since needs vary by patient.
Is hormone therapy only for men?
TRT specifically addresses low testosterone, most often evaluated in men, but hormone imbalances affect people of all sexes. Haven evaluates each patient's labs and symptoms individually rather than assuming one protocol fits everyone.
Can testosterone therapy affect my body's own hormone production?
Yes. Exogenous testosterone (testosterone from an outside source) can signal your body to slow or stop its own endogenous production. Haven takes a mindful approach to this — including options like HCG to support your own signaling — and discusses it with you up front, especially if you have a history of prostate cancer, are trying to preserve fertility, or prefer a more holistic, step-wise approach.
Do you treat erectile dysfunction (ED) specifically?
Yes. We see patients referred for ED alone, without any other testosterone-related symptoms. Because ED can have hormonal, vascular, and psychological contributors, we evaluate options such as PT-141, Emsella, TRT, and HCG individually rather than assuming testosterone is always the cause.
