Hormone replacement therapy, including Testosterone replacement, may help with these symptoms.
At Vitalia Healthcare in Vancouver, we offer individualized Testosterone replacement. Our Medical and Naturopathic Physicians work together to provide personalized hormone replacement. This includes comprehensive testing, careful dosing, and ongoing medical monitoring.

Testosterone Therapy for Men & Women in Vancouver
For Men
Testosterone is an important hormone in men’s health. Testosterone is important for energy levels, muscle mass, strength, fat distribution, libido, mood, cognitive function, and metabolism in general. While testosterone levels naturally decline with age, they can also be affected by chronic stress and other lifestyle factors.
When testosterone levels fall below an optimal range, men may begin to experience symptoms such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass and strength, reduced libido and sexual performance, brain fog, decreased motivation, mood changes, and difficulty maintaining body composition. Medically supervised testosterone therapy may be considered for men experiencing symptoms associated with low testosterone, following appropriate testing and clinical evaluation.
For Women
Typically considered as the “male hormone”, testosterone is also an important hormone for women’s health. It supports energy levels, mood, cognitive function, libido, muscle strength and skin tightness. Women produce testosterone in much smaller amounts than men. Testosterone levels decline with age, especially during menopause.
When testosterone levels begin to decline during perimenopause and menopause, some women may experience symptoms such as low energy, decreased libido, reduced motivation, brain fog, mood changes, and loss of muscle strength. A simple blood test can measure a woman’s Testosterone levels. If her level is low and she is experiencing symptoms, Testosterone replacement may be considered as part of an overall hormone optimization plan.
Results do vary and not all female patients taking Testosterone replacement have the same benefits. At Vitalia Healthcare, some of our female patients report noticing improvements such as increased energy, enhanced libido, improved mental clarity, and support for muscle strength and body composition over time. Please know Individual responses and results do vary, depending on multiple factors, including overall health and proper medical supervision

Testosterone therapy for women is different from replacement in men. Since women produce much lower amounts of Testosterone compared to men, low-dose prescribing and careful monitoring is important.
