Andropause Treatment at The Center for Fully Functional Health
You’ve noticed something feels...off. Maybe workouts take more out of you, or your usual motivation just isn’t there. You’re not exactly “unwell,” but you’re not firing on all cylinders either. That slowdown? It might be andropause.
At The Center for Fully Functional Health in Carmel, this kind of thing is taken seriously, without drama or one-size-fits-all solutions. Dr. Ellen Antoine and Dr. Scott Antoine bring decades of experience to the table. They explain what’s going on, what your options are, and they won’t push you into anything. It’s a thoughtful process, built around your body and your goals, not just your lab results.
Why You’re Feeling Off
Andropause (a.k.a. male menopause) is when hormone levels, especially testosterone, start slipping. It comes on gradually, usually in your late 40s or 50s. Low T and hormonal imbalances can stir up mood swings, brain fog, decreased libido, loss of muscle mass, and changes in cognitive function, making everyday life feel off. And some men may start to feel these shifts even in their 30s if hormone levels drop faster.
How is Andropause Treated?
Treatment begins with a detailed hormone panel, checking testosterone levels and other markers to understand any hormone imbalances. If low hormone levels look like the culprit behind your symptoms, male hormone therapy or testosterone replacement therapy may be part of your plan. We’ll walk you through options, creams, patches, injections, or pellets, and carefully match delivery methods to you.
Lifestyle plays a big role too: we’ll talk healthy diet choices, stress habits, sleep quality, and movement that support hormone balance. Our goal is restoring balance in a way that fits your world, with a treatment plan anchored in your overall health.
Clearer Mind, Stronger Body
Getting hormone replacement through a holistic approach like ours can support energy levels, sharpen mood, and ease mood changes. You may also notice an uptick in sexual function and libido, clearer thinking, and better muscle tone. It helps keep bone density strong and supports muscle mass, which matters as men age.
Here are some of the many benefits men often notice once their hormones are back in balance.
With no surgery and minimal downtime, these benefits can fit smoothly into your daily routine, helping restore balance and improve quality of life.
Signs It’s Time to Check Levels
This care is for men noticing andropause symptoms, like low libido, brain fog, weight gain, or decreased muscle mass, and who want to restore balance. Before moving ahead, we’ll review your medical history, current health conditions, and medications. Some health issues or allergy risks may require special attention or mean we take a different direction.
But overall, if you’re dealing with low testosterone, hormonal imbalances, or common symptoms of male menopause, we make sure your plan is safe, supportive, and tailored to your overall health and lifestyle.
Consultation and Preparation
Your initial consultation is relaxed and respectful. First, we’ll dig into your symptoms, how your energy levels, mood, focus, libido, sleep, and workouts are holding up. Then, we’ll run the hormone panel to check testosterone levels, along with other labs that matter.
You don’t need to prepare ahead of time. Together, we’ll go over your results, walk through a treatment plan for hormone replacement therapy that feels right for you, and make sure it fits your habits and goals.
What Hormone Therapy Looks Like
When the time comes to start hormone replacement, we take it slow and steady. You might begin with low-dose testosterone or a bioidentical hormone tailored to your body’s rhythm. We’ll choose a delivery format that fits your preferences.
The treatment visit usually goes quickly. You’ll walk out knowing what to watch for and when we’ll touch base next. No surgery, no extended recovery, just gentle, personalized care focused on restoring your hormone balance.
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
Many men notice a lift in mood, better cognitive focus, or improved energy within a few weeks. Over about eight to twelve weeks, muscle tone improves, libido returns, and bone density support kicks in. You’ll check in regularly, so doses get fine-tuned just right.
No post-op recovery to manage, just simple lifestyle follow-up: keep healthy routines, stay active, eat well, and track how you feel. That’s how lasting benefits to your overall health and men’s well-being take shape.
Investing in Your Energy
Getting hormone replacement through a holistic approach like ours can support energy levels, sharpen mood, and ease mood changes. You may also notice an uptick in sexual function and libido, clearer thinking, and better muscle tone. It helps keep bone density strong and supports muscle mass, which matters as men age.
Every treatment plan is custom. Costs vary by the hormone therapy format, labs required, and follow-up visits. Typically, pricing includes the initial consultation, lab panels, the hormone delivery method, and check-ins for adjusting your testosterone levels and hormone balance. We’ll walk you through everything clearly so there are no surprises.
