About This Treatment

What It Is

Testosterone is the engine behind your energy, muscle mass, mental clarity, libido, and motivation. When levels decline — whether from aging, stress, poor sleep, or underlying health conditions — the effects are unmistakable. You feel slower. Weaker. Less like yourself.

Hormone optimization at Mana Wellness and Aesthetics is not a one-size-fits-all testosterone prescription. It is a medically supervised, lab-driven protocol designed to restore your hormones to optimal levels — not just "normal range." Aubrie Bair, DNP, FNP-BC evaluates your complete hormonal picture including total and free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, DHEA, thyroid markers, and metabolic panels to identify exactly where the imbalance lies.

We use bioidentical testosterone and, when appropriate, adjunct therapies like HCG, anastrozole, and DHEA to create a protocol that fits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. This is precision medicine — built around your labs, not guesswork.

Our Process

How It Works at Mana

Your first visit starts with comprehensive blood work — not the basic panel your primary care provider runs, but a deep dive into the hormones and metabolic markers that actually matter. Aubrie reviews every result personally and sits down with you to explain what your numbers mean and what they should be.

From there, she builds a customized TRT protocol that may include testosterone cypionate injections, topical testosterone, HCG to maintain fertility and testicular function, and estrogen management as needed. Dosing is calibrated to your body. Follow-up labs are drawn at regular intervals to track progress and refine your protocol. At Mana, optimization is the standard — not "within range."

Results

What to Expect

Most men begin noticing improvements in energy, mood, and mental clarity within the first 2 to 4 weeks of starting TRT. Improvements in body composition, libido, and workout recovery typically develop over 6 to 12 weeks as your levels stabilize.

You will have follow-up labs drawn at 6 to 8 weeks, then every 3 to 6 months as your protocol matures. Appointments are straightforward and efficient — Aubrie respects your time. Expect to spend about 30 minutes at your initial consultation and 15 to 20 minutes at follow-ups.

This is not a quick fix. This is a long-term investment in how you feel, perform, and age.

FAQ

Hormone Optimization for Men FAQ

What testosterone levels do you optimize to?

We optimize to the level where you feel and function your best — not just the low end of the reference range. For most men, that means a total testosterone between 800 and 1100 ng/dL, but we dial in based on your symptoms, labs, and response to treatment.

Will TRT affect my fertility?

Exogenous testosterone can suppress sperm production. If fertility preservation is a concern, Aubrie incorporates HCG or other protocols to maintain testicular function. This is always discussed before starting treatment.

Do I need TRT for life?

It depends on your situation. For many men with clinically low testosterone, TRT is a long-term commitment that delivers lasting benefits. Aubrie will discuss your options honestly — including what happens if you decide to discontinue.

What are the risks of TRT?

When properly monitored, TRT has a strong safety profile. Potential side effects include elevated red blood cell count, estrogen conversion, and acne — all of which are managed through regular lab monitoring and protocol adjustments. Aubrie tracks your markers closely.

How is Mana different from online TRT clinics?

Online clinics often prescribe cookie-cutter protocols with minimal oversight. At Mana, Aubrie personally reviews your labs, adjusts your dosing, and monitors your health at every visit. You get a real provider who knows your name, your numbers, and your goals.

Can I combine TRT with other services at Mana?

Absolutely. Many of our male patients combine hormone optimization with peptide therapy, weight loss protocols, and IV therapy for a comprehensive approach to performance and longevity.
