WHY LOWT CAUSES MUSCLE LOSS

Testosterone supports cellular energy production by enhancing mitochondrial function and red‑blood‑cell formation.

When levels dip below 350 ng/dL, oxygen delivery falls, dopamine drops, and cortisol rises—leaving you wiped out even after 8 hours of sleep.

Anabolic Signaling Down: Low T ↓mTOR activation → impaired protein synthesis.
Higher Myostatin: Catabolic hormone rises, breaking down muscle fibers.
Reduced GH/IGF‑1 Synergy: Testosterone amplifies growth‑factor response; deficiency blunts it.

EXPECTED MUSCLE GAINS

In the early weeks of your program—weeks 4 to 6—you’ll often see a 5–10 % boost in strength on key compound lifts as your muscles respond to increased testosterone and targeted training.

By weeks 8 to 12, most men can add 4–6 lbs of lean mass on a DEXA scan, reflecting real muscle growth rather than just water weight. And if you stay consistent out to month 6, you can expect a 10–15 % reduction in visceral fat, unlocking a leaner, more defined physique.

All of this assumes you’re eating in a modest 300 kcal surplus and following a progressive‑overload routine—meaning each workout nudges you just a bit further than the last.

Week 2–4

Strength up 5–10 % in compound lifts

Week 4–6

Week 8–12

Visceral fat ↓10–15 %

SIGNS IT’S LOW‑T (NOT JUST STRESS)

These key markers help you and your clinician distinguish true hormonal deficiency from other factors. Fewer than three spontaneous morning erections per week is a strong sign of androgen deficiency, while a combination of reduced libido and increasing belly‑fat often points to low testosterone compounded by insulin resistance.

If your intimate relationships remain healthy but your interest wanes, psychological causes may be at play. Finally, definitive lab values—total T under 350 ng/dL or free T below 9 ng/dL—provide the objective confirmation needed to guide an effective treatment plan.

Common questions you may have about Sarcopenia

How much muscle can I realistically gain on TRT?

Studies show hypogonadal men add 4–6 lbs of lean mass in 12 weeks at therapeutic levels, assuming resistance training. Advanced lifters see smaller but still significant gains after long plateaus.

Will TRT alone cut fat?

TRT increases basal metabolic rate ~10 %, but diet matters. HLTHi dietitians can add a macro plan for $39 / mo.

Is constant yawning a sign of lowT?

It can be—especially if belly fat & low libido accompany it.

Do I have to quit caffeine?

No, but most patients naturally cut intake in half after T normalizes.

Will TRT fix brain fog?

Yes in ~70 % of cases; cortisol & sleep quality also matter.

Will insurance cover labs?

Often yes; cash rate is $65–$95 if uninsured.

Can women use TRT for sarcopenia?

Not with HLTHi; refer to HRT program.
