HORMONE OPTIMIZATION FOR MEN IN CHAPEL HILL, NC
Boost strength, vitality, and clarity with precision-guided care.
IS LOW TESTOSTERONE HOLDING YOU BACK?
Many men over 40 experience symptoms they chalk up to “just getting older” — fatigue, brain fog, stubborn belly fat, low libido, and poor recovery. But these are often signs of hormone imbalance, especially low testosterone. The good news? You don’t have to accept it.
Our Personalized Approach to Men's Hormone Health
At MedSpa 501, we offer more than just testosterone replacement. We combine hormone therapy with functional and precision medicine to help you perform, feel, and live better. Our 1Wellness Program evaluates all of the root causes contributing to low testosterone and hormonal imbalance — including inflammation, metabolic health, stress load, sleep quality, and toxin burden — and addresses them through a customized plan.
Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance in Men
You may benefit from hormone optimization if you’re experiencing:● Low energy or persistent fatigue● Loss of strength or muscle mass● Increased abdominal fat● Low libido or erectile dysfunction● Poor motivation or mental fog● Sleep disturbances● Mood swings or irritability
These symptoms are not just inconvenient, they can signal an underlying imbalance that affects your long-term health, cardiovascular risk, and quality of life.
Our 1Wellness Method for Hormone Optimization
Hormone therapy alone isn't enough — it needs to be tailored and tracked within the context of your full-body health. Here's how we do it:
Advanced Lab Testing
We go beyond standard hormone panels. Your personalized testing may include:● Total and Free Testosterone, Estradiol, DHEA, LH/FSH● Thyroid hormones and antibodies● Cortisol rhythm and adrenal markers● Inflammatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular risk markers● ApoE genotype and other longevity-focused labs
Functional Medicine Assessment
During your initial consultation, we’ll review your labs and perform a comprehensive evaluation of your symptom drivers, cardiovascular and metabolic health profile. We will consider other hormones (e.g. growth hormones, thyroid, etc.) that may be driving your symptoms.
Tailored Treatment Plan
Your provider will create a precision plan based on your labs, symptoms, and performance goals. Treatment may include:● Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)We offer testosterone therapy via injectable, pellet, cream, and oral forms, selecting the best route based on your labs, goals, and convenience. All protocols are personalized and closely monitored to ensure optimal dosing and safety.● Enclomiphine or ClomidFor men with mild-to-moderate testosterone decline who still want to preserve fertility, these medications help stimulate your body’s natural testosterone production rather than replacing it directly.● Sermorelin or Growth Hormone PeptidesIf you’re experiencing sleep disruption, low energy, poor recovery, or stubborn body fat, we may use therapies like Sermorelin to stimulate natural growth hormone release and support cellular repair, body composition, and recovery.● Lifestyle and Supplement ProtocolsTargeted support for exercise, nutrition, sleep, gut health, stress, and detox pathways to improve hormonal resilience and long-term vitality.● Ongoing Tracking and AdjustmentsWe track labs, symptoms, and progress every quarter. adjusting your protocol as needed to optimize results.

FAQs – MENS HORMONE OPTIMIZATION AT MEDSPA 501
What are the signs of low testosterone in men?
Common symptoms of low testosterone include low energy, decreased libido, brain fog, weight gain (especially around the midsection), poor sleep, and difficulty building or maintaining muscle. Many men over 40 experience these changes without realizing they’re linked to hormone decline.
How do I know if I need testosterone therapy (TRT)?
We use comprehensive lab testing, symptom review, and health history to determine whether you’re a good candidate for TRT. Not everyone with low testosterone needs TRT — some men benefit more from therapies that stimulate natural production, like Clomid (Enclomiphine). That’s why we tailor every plan to your biology.
What types of testosterone replacement do you offer?
We offer several options to meet individual needs and preferences, including:● Injectable testosterone● Testosterone pellets (long-acting)● Topical testosterone creams● Oral testosterone (KYZATREX™) Each option has its pros and cons, which we’ll review with you to find the best fit for your goals and lifestyle.
Can I optimize testosterone without doing full TRT?
Yes. Some men prefer to stimulate their body’s own testosterone production using clomiphine or enclomiphine — medications that boost the signals in your body to produce more testosterone — especially younger men or those wishing to preserve fertility. This can be an excellent first-line or adjunctive option.
What is Sermorelin and who is it for?
Sermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing peptide that helps improve energy, body composition, muscle recovery, and sleep. It’s often used in men whose testosterone is in range but who are experiencing symptoms that suggest low growth hormone activity or cellular repair dysfunction.
How long does it take to see results from hormone therapy?
Many men notice improvements in energy, sleep, mood, and libido within the first 4–6 weeks. Body composition and strength changes typically follow over 3–6 months. We adjust protocols every quarter based on your labs, feedback, and goals.
Is hormone therapy safe long term?
When properly prescribed and monitored, testosterone and peptide therapies are safe and effective for improving both symptoms and long-term health outcomes. We follow evidence-based processes and track your labs regularly to ensure safety and optimize performance.
Do I need to be on a 1Wellness membership to receive hormone therapy?
Yes. Hormone optimization is included as part of your 1Wellness membership, which also gives you access to advanced lab testing, long-term risk assessment, and functional medicine support. We believe hormone health is a key piece — but just one part — of your total wellness strategy.
