How Testosterone Therapy Works: A Step-by-Step Guide for Men

Jun 26, 2025

Your go-to resource for understanding the process, benefits, and what to expect with TRT.

For many men, low energy, a drop in sex drive, stubborn belly fat, and a general feeling of “something’s off” can be frustrating, especially when nothing else seems to explain it. What if the root of the problem is hormonal?

Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, starting as early as your 30s. By the time you hit 40, you might be feeling the effects. That’s where Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) comes in.

At Androlab, we understand that starting TRT isn’t just a medical decision, it’s a personal one. This step-by-step guide is here to demystify the process and help you decide if testosterone therapy is right for you.

How Testosterone Therapy Works

1. Recognise the Symptoms
Look out for signs like low energy, reduced sex drive, weight gain, mood changes, and brain fog.

2. Get the Right Blood Tests done
TRT should only start after morning blood tests to check testosterone, hormone balance, and overall health.

3. Choose the Right Treatment Option
Based on your lifestyle and goals, your doctor will recommend the correct protocol.

4. Start Treatment and Track Progress
Benefits like improved energy, mood, libido, and muscle tone are the first improvements you will notice. It’s a gradual, personalised journey.

5. Ongoing Monitoring for Safety
Regular blood tests and doctor check-ins keep your hormones balanced and your health on track.

The Bottom Line

Testosterone therapy isn’t just about boosting testosterone. It’s about reclaiming your vitality, sharpening your focus, rebuilding your strength, and enjoying a better quality of life.

At Androlab, our approach is science-based, doctor-led, and completely personalised. We don’t just treat symptoms, we help you understand the why, support you through the how, and guide you every step of the way.
