* TRT may be appropriate for men with persistent symptoms and repeatedly low morning testosterone levels. The clinic counsels on realistic goals: improved sexual function, energy, strength, and sleep quality, while monitoring for potential risks such as erythrocytosis, blood pressure or lipid changes, fertility suppression, acne, edema, or sleep apnea exacerbation.


* True North Metabolic’s protocol schedules labs at predictable intervals: early rechecks and then at regular intervals. Monitoring includes hematocrit/hemoglobin, testosterone levels timed to route, PSA where indicated, lipids, and blood pressure. The clinic also screens for obstructive sleep apnea and explores fertility-preserving alternatives when family planning is a priority. Adverse effects are managed through dose adjustment, route changes, or coordinated specialty referral when needed.

A Physician-Led, Mechanism-Focused Approach

True North Metabolic’s care model emphasizes the mechanisms behind hypogonadism and the practical realities of daily treatment. Patients begin with a structured intake that documents symptoms (libido, energy, sleep, mood, body composition), medical history, and medications, followed by targeted morning labs and confirmatory testing when indicated. The clinic’s protocol aligns therapy with physiology—beginning only when diagnostic criteria are met—and pairs treatment with scheduled follow-ups to evaluate benefits, side effects, and adherence.




Why TRT, and For Whom

TRT may be appropriate for men with persistent symptoms and repeatedly low morning testosterone levels. The clinic counsels on realistic goals: improved sexual function, energy, strength, and sleep quality, while monitoring for potential risks such as erythrocytosis, blood pressure or lipid changes, fertility suppression, acne, edema, or sleep apnea exacerbation. Patients in Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Ontario and Guelph, Ontario receive individualized care plans that consider work schedules, training demands, and family-building timelines.




Therapy Options Tailored to Daily Life

The clinic offers multiple TRT routes and helps men choose the option that matches their routine, personal preferences and monitoring preferences:

Topical gel (once daily):
convenient and steady levels; requires transfer precautions and consistent application.

Intranasal gel (three times daily): rapid on/off kinetics with low transfer risk; ideal for flexible dose titration.




Injections:

Shorter-acting (cypionate/enanthate):
weekly or twice-weekly dosing, intramuscular or subcutaneous; cost-effective with predictable levels.

Long-acting undecanoate (IM): infrequent clinic dosing with stable levels and observation period.




Oral testosterone undecanoate (capsules): limited availability; considered case-by-case with counseling on cost and expectations.




The TRT program integrates lifestyle modifications so patients see durable improvements beyond the prescription.




Safety, Monitoring, and Follow-Up


True North Metabolic’s protocol schedules labs at predictable intervals: early rechecks and then at regular intervals. Monitoring includes hematocrit/hemoglobin, testosterone levels timed to route, PSA where indicated, lipids, and blood pressure. The clinic also screens for obstructive sleep apnea and explores fertility-preserving alternatives when family planning is a priority. Adverse effects are managed through dose adjustment, route changes, or coordinated specialty referral when needed.




Care That Extends Beyond Testosterone

Men often present with overlapping concerns—weight gain, metabolic risk, and hair loss—that affect confidence and long-term health. True North Metabolic connects TRT care to additional services so patients have a single, coherent plan.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
