Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Take your Life Back

Testosterone is a vital hormone for men's physical, mental, and sexual health. As men age, or due to health and lifestyle factors, natural testosterone production often declines, leading to symptoms that can sap energy, diminish motivation, reduce muscle mass, impair sexual function, and lower overall quality of life.

​

At Harmony HealthSpan, we specialize in evidence-based, bioidentical Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for men in Boise, Eagle, Meridian, and the greater Treasure Valley. Our mission is to help you professionally assess whether Low Testosterone (Low T) is impacting your life, and to safely restore optimal hormone levels, empowering you to reclaim vitality so that you can live younger, longer.

​

TRT Treatments Offered at Harmony HealthSpan

 

We offer several medically supervised TRT options, ensuring a customized approach to fit your health profile and lifestyle. Based on insights from our hormone specialist, we prioritize bioidentical testosterone for optimal safety and effectiveness. Our treatments include:

​

  • Testosterone Injections: A cost-effective, widely used TRT method. Injections are typically administered every 1-2 weeks at our Boise clinic or self-administered at home after training. This allows precise dosing adjustments.

  • Topical Testosterone (Gel or Cream): Applied daily to the skin for steady absorption. This method requires careful application to prevent transference to others.

  • Hormone Pellet Therapy: A long-acting option where small, bioidentical testosterone pellets are inserted under the skin (usually in the hip or buttock). They release testosterone consistently over 3-6 months, ideal for those seeking convenience without daily or weekly applications. Men typically need pellets twice a year.

  • Men's Testosterone Club (Boise): Our all-inclusive monthly program simplifies your TRT journey. It often includes provider visits, testosterone (typically injections), and supplies, offering a predictable, hassle-free option for men in Treasure Valley.

​

What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

 

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is an FDA-approved, medically supervised treatment designed to restore testosterone levels to an optimal range for men diagnosed with clinically low testosterone (hypogonadism). TRT addresses this hormonal imbalance, alleviating related symptoms and enabling men to regain physical and mental sharpness, improve sexual health, and enhance their daily lives.

​

TRT may also be used "off-label" for conditions not specifically FDA-approved, based on individual needs and under medical guidance.

​

Symptoms of Low Testosterone (Low T) & Andropause

 

Are you feeling off your game? Low Testosterone could be the culprit. Common symptoms include:

​

  • Low Libido and reduced sexual interest.

  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED) – difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, often tied to low testosterone.

  • Fatigue and persistent low energy levels.

  • Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia) and challenges in building or maintaining strength.

  • Mood Disturbances – irritability, anxiety, or depression linked to hormonal imbalance, debunking the myth that testosterone causes rage.

  • Cognitive Issues – "brain fog," poor concentration, or memory struggles.

  • Decreased Motivation – loss of drive for daily tasks or workouts.

  • Increased Body Fat – difficulty managing weight, especially visceral fat around organs.

  • Metabolic Impacts – potential effects on insulin resistance and blood sugar levels.

​

If these sound familiar, give us a call or schedule a consultation so we can help you with a professional assessment and evaluating your treatment options.

​

Who is TRT For?


Many men notice Low T symptoms starting in their 30s or 40s, though it can occur at any age due to genetics, health conditions, or lifestyle factors like poor sleep or high stress, as discussed in our specialist interview. TRT is clinically indicated for men with confirmed hypogonadism through comprehensive lab testing. It effectively addresses a wide range of symptoms when tailored to the individual.

Why Choose Harmony HealthSpan for TRT in Boise?


Selecting the right provider for Testosterone Replacement Therapy is crucial. At Harmony HealthSpan, we prioritize safety, personalization, and long-term wellness for men in Boise and Treasure Valley. Here's why we stand out:

​

  • Specialized Expertise: Our board-certified providers include Dr. Mindy LeRoy, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C and Emily Goemaat, MSN, FNP-C, and have advanced training in hormone optimization and stay updated on the latest men's health research.

  • Personalized Care: We reject "one-size-fits-all" approaches. Your TRT plan is tailored to your symptoms, lab results, medical history, and goals, aiming for optimal—not just "normal"—testosterone levels.

  • Comprehensive Testing: Beyond basic testosterone checks, we evaluate related hormones (estradiol, SHBG, thyroid), metabolic markers (lipids, insulin), vitamins, and screen for contraindications to ensure TRT is safe.

  • Bioidentical Hormones: We prioritize bioidentical testosterone, mirroring what your body naturally produces, for better outcomes and fewer risks compared to synthetic alternatives.

  • Continuous Monitoring: Regular follow-ups and lab tests ensure your levels are optimized, symptoms improve, and side effects are proactively managed.

  • Holistic Support: Hormones are part of the picture. We offer guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management to complement TRT and boost your overall healthspan.

​

  • How do I know if I need TRT?
    If you experience persistent fatigue, low libido, ED, mood swings, or muscle loss, Low T might be the cause. A consultation and bloodwork at Harmony HealthSpan in Boise can confirm if TRT is appropriate.
  • Is TRT safe?
    Under medical supervision at Harmony HealthSpan, TRT is generally safe for men with diagnosed Low T. We use bioidentical hormones and conduct thorough evaluations and regular monitoring to minimize risks.
  • How soon will I notice results from TRT?
    Many men feel improvements in energy, mood, and libido within days to weeks. Muscle gain and fat loss often take several months with consistent therapy and lifestyle support.
  • Will I need TRT for life?
    TRT is often long-term for chronic hypogonadism, as natural production may not recover. If Low T is reversible, shorter-term therapy might be possible—discuss with your Boise provider.
  • What are common Low T symptoms in men?
    Symptoms include fatigue, low sex drive, ED, brain fog, muscle loss, weight gain, irritability, depression, and reduced motivation, often tied to aging or stress.
  • How is Low T diagnosed at Harmony HealthSpan?
    We combine symptom reviews with comprehensive blood tests, assessing total and free testosterone, other hormones, and health markers for an accurate diagnosis, focusing on optimal—not just "normal"—levels.
  • Are there side effects to TRT? How are they managed?
    Potential side effects (acne, fluid retention, increased red blood cell count, or fertility impacts) are minimal with bioidentical hormones. We manage them through careful dosing and regular monitoring. Fertility concerns are addressed upfront, as TRT isn't recommended for men planning children unless alternatives are explored.
  • Can I exercise while on TRT?
    Yes! TRT often boosts exercise performance and recovery. We encourage an active lifestyle in Boise to maximize therapy benefits.
  • Does insurance cover TRT in Boise?
    Coverage varies by plan and medical necessity criteria. Harmony HealthSpan does not accept insurance due to our focus on personalized care beyond standard guidelines, but we provide transparent pricing and payment options.
  • Can I switch TRT methods (e.g., injections to pellets)?
    Absolutely. If your needs or preferences change, discuss switching delivery methods with your Harmony HealthSpan provider for the best fit.
