A printed lifestyle booklet is sent with every medication order.
It includes nutrition, training, sleep, and mental health tips to help you get the best results from TRT.

Here’s a short summary of what’s inside:

Why Lifestyle Matters

TRT works best when combined with strong daily habits.

Lifestyle improvements can:

  • Boost energy and motivation

  • Improve mood, sleep, and focus

  • Help with fat loss and muscle gain

  • Support sexual health and heart health

Key Areas to Focus On

1. Nutrition

  • Eat mostly whole foods: lean protein, veggies, fruit, healthy fats, complex carbs

  • Avoid liquid calories (soft drinks, juices, milk)

  • Aim for 1.5–2g of protein per kg of body weight

2. Cardio

  • Walk daily (30–60 mins)

  • Mix in light hikes or cycling

  • Helps with fat loss, insulin sensitivity, and mood

3. Weight Training

  • Lift weights 2–3 times a week

  • Focus on compound movements: squats, presses, rows

  • Helps maintain muscle and boost testosterone naturally

4. Sleep

  • Aim for 7–9 hours per night

  • Avoid screens and caffeine before bed

  • Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day

5. Alcohol

  • Keep it low and occasional

  • Even 1–2 drinks can lower testosterone and disrupt sleep

6. Mental Health

  • Go for a daily walk in sunlight

  • Daily mindfulness meditations

  • Journal or take deep breaths to reset your mood

  • Talk to someone if you're feeling flat or stuck

It’s About Consistency, Not Perfection

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up daily with small, repeatable habits.

Better lifestyle = better treatment outcomes.
