TRT 101

What Every Man Over 40 Should Know About Testosterone Replacement Therapy

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just running low — on testosterone.

It could be low testosterone, also known as Low T — one of the most common yet overlooked conditions in men over 40.

At Evolve Wellness, we help men reclaim energy, focus, and performance through safe, medically supervised Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) — available both in-person and through telehealth.

Let’s break down what TRT really is, how it works, and why it can completely change how you feel.

Testosterone is the hormone that drives more than just muscle and libido — it affects your:

  • Energy and motivation

  • Mental clarity and mood

  • Sleep quality

  • Metabolism and fat storage

  • Strength and recovery

After about age 35, testosterone levels naturally decline by 1–2% per year. That gradual drop adds up — and for many men, it’s the difference between thriving and dragging through the day.

TRT is a medically supervised treatment that restores testosterone levels back to their optimal range, helping you feel like yourself again — focused, strong, and steady.

1. What Exactly Is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?


2. The Hidden Signs of Low Testosterone

Low T doesn’t always show up as an obvious symptom.
It can look like:

  • Constant fatigue (even after 8 hours of sleep)

  • Mood swings or irritability

  • Weight gain, especially around the midsection

  • Low sex drive or performance issues

  • Loss of motivation or confidence

  • Poor workout recovery

If that list hits home, it’s not a willpower problem — it’s biology. The good news: it’s fixable.


3. How Evolve Wellness’ TRT Program Works

Forget cookie-cutter online prescriptions or sketchy clinics.

At Evolve Wellness, every patient receives MD-supervised, data-driven care built around your exact needs.

1. Lab Testing & Hormone Assessment

We start with a comprehensive lab panel to evaluate:

  • Total and free testosterone

  • Estrogen balance

  • Thyroid function

  • Cortisol, vitamin D, and other key markers

This helps us identify whether TRT is truly right for you — or if other factors (like stress, thyroid, or nutrition) are impacting your hormones.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

If TRT is a fit, our provider creates a plan tailored to your body’s needs, lifestyle, and goals.
Treatment options include:

  • Injections

  • Creams or gels

  • Peptide and supplement support

Our goal isn’t just to boost testosterone — it’s to optimize your entire hormonal ecosystem.

3. Follow-Up, Monitoring, and Adjustment

We track your progress, labs, and symptoms regularly to make sure your dosage and results stay balanced.

Because optimal testosterone isn’t about “more” — it’s about the right amount.

With telemedicine check-ins, you can do everything from the comfort of home — including prescription refills and ongoing support.


Within weeks, many men report:

  • More energy and motivation

  • Sharper mental focus

  • Improved strength and recovery

  • Easier fat loss

  • Better sleep and libido

  • Greater sense of confidence and stability

Over time, TRT helps rebuild muscle, regulate metabolism, and restore vitality — so you can feel like the best version of yourself again.

4. The Benefits of TRT


When prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider, TRT is very safe and effective.

Common myths — like it causing aggression, heart issues, or infertility — are largely outdated and tied to unsupervised or excessive dosing.


At Softwave, every patient’s protocol is medically managed and monitored to ensure:

  • Safe dosing

  • Regular lab reviews

  • Balanced hormone ratios

  • Optimal long-term results

We take a functional medicine approach, focusing on longevity, not just testosterone levels.

7. Combine TRT with Peptides for Maximum Results

Many of our patients stack TRT + peptide therapy for even greater results — improving muscle tone, recovery, and fat metabolism.

Popular combinations include:

  • TRT + CJC-1295/Ipamorelin: boosts growth hormone and energy

  • TRT + BPC-157: aids recovery and inflammation

  • TRT + Semaglutide: accelerates fat loss safely

Think of peptides as the upgrade that amplifies your TRT results.

  • For most men, optimal total testosterone levels range between 700–1000 ng/dL. Many “normal” lab results fall below that, but symptoms can still occur in the low-normal range.

  • Most patients start feeling improvements in energy, mood, and motivation within 2–4 weeks. Body composition changes typically appear within 6–12 weeks, depending on dosage and lifestyle.

  • TRT replaces what your body is no longer producing adequately — similar to thyroid or insulin therapy. If you ever stop TRT, testosterone levels will gradually return to baseline, but you won’t be “addicted.”

  • Yes. Evolve Wellness’ telemedicine TRT program is available across multiple states. We’ll send you an at-home lab kit and handle everything — from prescription delivery to follow-ups — virtually.

  • When monitored properly, side effects are minimal. Potential temporary effects can include mild fluid retention or acne, both of which are easily managed with proper dosing and lab tracking.
