Low Testosterone
Low testosterone isn’t just about libido—it can affect mood, motivation, muscle mass, energy, and even cognitive clarity. Whether caused by aging, stress, insulin resistance, or underlying health conditions, low T can leave you feeling like a lesser version of yourself. You may notice weight gain (especially around the midsection), poor sleep, irritability, or a drop in performance—physically or mentally. At LWell, we look beyond the surface to uncover why testosterone levels are low and offer personalized, evidence-based strategies to restore hormonal balance and vitality.

Our Low Testosterone Options
Insurance-Based Nutrition Therapy with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Our RDNs support hormonal health through targeted nutrition and lifestyle interventions. They help you optimize blood sugar balance, reduce inflammatory foods, and incorporate nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats that support testosterone production. Meal plans, exercise strategies, and stress-reduction techniques are often included—and most patients qualify for insurance-covered sessions.
Treatment with an Integrative/Functional Medicine Provider
Functional providers can order in-depth hormone panels, including total and free testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and estradiol, to uncover the full hormonal picture. Depending on the results, they may recommend lifestyle interventions, testosterone-boosting nutraceuticals, or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (when appropriate). Treatment also addresses the root causes like stress, insulin resistance, or micronutrient deficiencies that contribute to low testosterone.
Treatment with MedRedux Weight Loss
Low testosterone often goes hand-in-hand with weight gain and metabolic slowdown. The MedRedux program offers medically supervised weight loss that can include GLP-1 medications, nutrition coaching, and metabolic lab monitoring—all of which can improve insulin sensitivity and naturally boost testosterone levels. Patients often report better energy, libido, and performance as inflammation and excess weight come down.
