Many women are not aware that they are more likely to develop testosterone deficiencies during the two to three years preceding menopause and even more commonly, during the five years following. Women who have had a hysterectomy, even if the ovaries have been left in place, are very likely to develop testosterone deficiency, and may benefit substantially from appropriate evaluation and supplementation of testosterone. Furthermore, women who have had chemotherapy resulting in loss of ovarian function often develop testosterone deficiency.
In men, testosterone production increases rapidly at the onset of puberty and decreases rapidly after age 50 (to 20–50% of peak level by age 80). Many call this rapid decrease the “male menopause” or “andropause”. Recent estimates show that approximately 13 million men in the United States experience testosterone deficiency and less than 10% receive treatment for the condition. Studies have shown that men with obesity, diabetes, or hypertension may be twice as likely to have low testosterone levels. It has also been revealed that low testosterone in men can increase the risk of heart disease.

At Arizona Integrative Medical Center, P.C., Dr. Stallone uses thorough and accurate testing in order to determine if an individual has a testosterone deficiency and would benefit from supplementation. Many people know about controversy surrounding improper testosterone use from the media and/or athletes’ use. However, in order to learn the proper facts regarding testosterone and its administration, it is important to find a trusted healthcare provider who can provide you with proper information and various treatment options depending upon your individual history, current overall health, and goals. As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, Dr. Stallone has the advantage of being able to provide patients not only bio-identical testosterone in the form of drops, pellets, and creams--but also, other natural methods, such as the use of homeopathics, botanicals and supplements.
