Testosterone is a crucial hormone for men’s health and quality of life. It impacts everything from energy levels and muscle mass to mood and libido. As men get older, testosterone levels naturally decline leading to symptoms that affect daily life.
One of our clients in Eugene likes to say that he “used to live for live elk hunting.” But as he got older he found himself losing the motivation and energy to be able to get out and chase elk. Since initiating TRT, he is back chasing elk up and down the mountains again and living his best life!
Another one of our clients in Salem used to spend all his free time on the water — skiing behind his boat. He was so dedicated that he’d be out on the water in a thick wet suit when the air temperature was 50 degrees or less! He lost all motivation and energy to do this hobby that he used to love. After initiating TRT, he is back out nearly every weekend enjoying the time on the water with his wife and kids and making memories that will last a lifetime.

How to Confirm Low Testosterone
If you’ve answered YES to some of these questions in our Low Testosterone Quiz, then the next step is testing your testosterone levels. At Quali-T Men’s Health, we offer:
- Comprehensive blood testing to measure total and free testosterone levels. Free testosterone is even more important to check than total testosterone, but is often ignored.
- Evaluation of other key hormones for optimized health.
- A free personalized consultation to discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.
Our TRT clinic begins with a simple yet thorough testosterone blood test. We measure total testosterone, free testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, albumin, and other key biomarkers such as LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) to diagnose low testosterone levels with precision. We also check many other labs to evaluate your overall health and look for areas of concern. Our expert team uses state-of-the-art hormone testing protocols to ensure you get the answers—and solutions—you need.
When Is TRT the Right Choice?
As your trusted provider we’re here to help you make the right choice for TRT. To start, we will run a full blood test panel to get a baseline check for your total and free testosterone. Remember though, we don’t just look at your testosterone number – we look at you as an individual. We look closely at the persistent symptoms you are experiencing like fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, belly fat gain, muscle loss, and/or brain fog. When viewed together, these symptoms provide valuable insight that helps us create the most effective treatment plan for you.
We’ll also work to rule out any underlying conditions that could be contributing to your symptoms. These might include thyroid issues, depression, prolactinomas, or other health concerns. Additionally, we’ll evaluate whether lifestyle changes—like improving sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management—have made a significant impact. If you’ve already taken these steps and your testosterone levels remain low, TRT is likely the next step. Sometimes though, it may seem impossible to improve your exercise and diet with the way you are feeling. If this is the case, starting TRT and then addressing the aforementioned issues when you are feeling better might be the best plan of action.
