As a physician deeply committed to enhancing your hormonal health and overall well-being, one of the most frequent discussions I have at Reverse Medical revolves around choosing the best treatment approach for optimizing testosterone levels. Three primary therapies that I regularly recommend are Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), Enclomiphene, and Sermorelin.


Determining the ideal therapy is largely dependent on your specific testosterone levels, personal health goals, and lifestyle considerations.


TRT: Direct and Effective

Testosterone Replacement Therapy involves directly supplementing your body with bioidentical testosterone, offering swift and powerful relief for those with markedly low testosterone.

Ideal Candidates:

  • Testosterone levels at or below 400 ng/dL

  • Men experiencing noticeable symptoms such as persistent fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, or mood fluctuations

  • Individuals seeking immediate and substantial improvements in quality of life and vitality

While TRT provides rapid relief and transformative results, it does decrease your body's natural testosterone production, which may impact fertility. It's crucial to discuss fertility preservation strategies (such as concurrent hCG therapy) if future family planning is a priority.


Enclomiphene: Natural Enhancement

Enclomiphene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) designed to boost your body's natural testosterone production. It's especially valuable for younger men or those who prefer preserving fertility while gently elevating testosterone.

Ideal Candidates:

  • Testosterone levels between 400-500 ng/dL

  • Younger men focused on fertility preservation

  • Patients seeking a more natural approach without direct hormone supplementation

Enclomiphene is a particularly appealing option if you're exploring fertility considerations or prefer a milder initial intervention.


Sermorelin: Holistic Optimization

Sermorelin, a growth hormone-releasing analog, indirectly supports testosterone and hormonal balance by stimulating your body's natural growth hormone production, thereby enhancing sleep quality, metabolism, and overall vitality.

Ideal Candidates:

  • Testosterone levels above 500 ng/dL

  • Patients targeting holistic improvements in health, sleep, and metabolic function

  • Those interested in a comprehensive anti-aging and wellness approach

Sermorelin doesn't directly elevate testosterone dramatically but rather supports broader hormonal harmony and overall well-being.


Combining Treatments for Optimal Results

At Reverse Medical, I often recommend combining Sermorelin with either TRT or Enclomiphene. This strategic combination delivers a robust approach, supporting comprehensive hormone balance, enhanced vitality, and improved overall health.
