what is testosterone replacement therapy?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is one of True Balance’s specialties.
We have refined our systems, accumulated significant experience in the area of TRT, and are now one of Canada’s leading TRT providers.

In men, testosterone is a very powerful anti-inflammatory that works directly on DNA.
Generally, testosterone’s main function in the body is to promote growth of new cells, including muscle growth and bone density. Unfortunately, men experience an average of a 1% drop in testosterone levels per year, beginning at age 30. This can lead to late-onset hypogonadism, or as it’s more commonly known as, andropause or male menopause. Testosterone can also be converted to estrogen in a process called aromatization. This process occurs primarily in fat tissue and increases as men age.

Common symptoms include weight gain, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety, mood swings, ED and decreased libido. For many men, this sudden shift in overall wellness can be jarring.

how TRT can help

So how are we using bioidentical hormones to give you back your vitality and wellness? Our programs are supervised by a team of Medical Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and Certified Hormone Specialists, who will assess your current hormone imbalances and help you to safely and naturally bring them back into balance. We use a combination of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and a holistic treatment plan that tackles many facets of wellness at once. Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) is one type of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

During your consult, our Certified Hormone Specialists will take into account your lifestyle, diet, and stressors in conjunction with your bloodwork results to develop a program that addresses your unique needs and concerns. Our hormone specialists customize the hormonal components in your prescription specifically for your biochemistry and your tailored dosage is manufactured specifically for you at a compounding pharmacy.

our pricing & process

All prices are subject to change without notice. Prescription prices are variable and are not included in our costs. For more information on pricing, please contact us directly.

  • To get started with our program, all you have to do is book an appointment here (note: this step incurs a $50 new patient start-up fee.) The new patient appointment is done virtually for accessibility and convenience, allowing us to serve patients across Canada.

    The purpose of this appointment is to assess your eligibility for the program, equip you with introductory materials, and provide you with a blood testing requisition form.

  • Your blood work can be completed at a Dynalife or any other lab that is convenient for you. We recommend this testing be completed at least one week prior to your first visit (two weeks for patients outside of Alberta.) Please notify our team about all incoming blood work results.

  • At your first consultation, a Certified Hormone Specialist will review your symptoms, concerns, and wellness goals through a detailed questionnaire. Based on your medical history, lab results, and goals, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may also include nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Your plan is directly supervised by our team of Nurse Practitioners and Medical Doctors.

    Once your plan is complete, your prescription will be sent to a trusted compounding pharmacy. Because these prescriptions are custom-made, it may take a few days for them to be ready.

    Your BHRT appointments can be done virtually or in-house at any of our three physical locations. We currently offer in-house BHRT in Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove.

  • After 8 weeks on your medication, a follow-up appointment is required to review any symptoms or concerns and to renew your prescription. This follow-up may include additional bloodwork, and in some cases, clients may require an extra appointment to achieve optimal results. Additional follow-up visits are billed at $200.

  • Yearly checks are required to review blood work and renew any medications. Your yearly appointment is due one year after your last appointment.
