Low testosterone is a common condition that men can be born with or develop due to age, stress, disease, physical trauma, an unhealthy lifestyle or environmental factors.
Men with low testosterone often report low mood, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, reduced libido or difficulty achieving an erection. Other common symptoms include brain fog, lack of motivation, low confidence, difficulty losing weight and difficulty gaining muscle. These symptoms may also be caused by stress, diet, sleep apnoea or other medical conditions. Our blood test helps rule out hormones so you can find the root cause.
Blood testing is the only way to know for sure if you have a testosterone deficiency. Our Initial Testosterone Blood Test (a simple finger-prick test) can be taken at home. If the results show that you have low testosterone and you’d like to start testosterone replacement therapy, medical guidelines require you to take a second, more comprehensive blood test first to confirm your testosterone level is persistently low and to get a baseline measure of your core health before you start TRT. This one is a venous test which has to be administered by a nurse or phlebotomist.
Research has confirmed that testosterone counts in men are significantly lower than they were just a few decades ago. One in four men over the age of 30 may have abnormally low testosterone levels according to scientific studies.1
Around the age of 30 testosterone levels naturally begin to decline, but it’s usually a very gradual process. For most men, testosterone levels drop between one to two percent each year from the age of 35. Free testosterone levels also drop considerably as men age, making TD even more common. An increase in obesity, hormone-disrupting environmental chemicals, and anabolic steroid use is also making testosterone deficiency in younger men more prevalent than ever.

Yes, you’ll have a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss your test results and they can provide a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our doctors specialise in TRT for men and are all registered with the General Medical Council.
Our initial blood test will establish whether you have a testosterone deficiency. If the first test shows that you have low testosterone you’ll need to take our second, more comprehensive blood test if you’d like to start TRT - this is to confirm you do indeed have persistently low testosterone and to get a baseline measure of your core health before you start TRT.
Our blood test kits usually arrive within three working days. It may take longer over public holidays.
We’ll get in touch to give you your results within two to three business days.

Your venous sample will be collected by a registered nurse at one of our partner clinics.

You’ll have an in-depth discussion with one of our TRT doctors so that they can design a personalised, sustainable protocol for you which results in real improvements. The consultation will cover the following topics.
In cases where injections or topical treatments aren’t suitable, oral testosterone treatments might be prescribed. This method of treatment is incredibly convenient since it involves taking just one daily tablet, and has the added perk of not requiring any injections. This form of treatment helps to maintain fertility whilst increasing testosterone levels, but isn’t effective for some men.
Injectables are a popular choice, in fact, 98% of our patients use this method! Not only are they convenient – taking around 10 minutes to administer, Two or three per week – they’re also highly effective as they maintain steady testosterone levels over time. Having said that, not everyone likes the idea of having to inject themselves with medication, so they aren’t for everyone.
Topical testosterone treatments are a great option for those who prefer a needle-free approach, as they come in the form of a cream or gel. They’re applied daily and although they work well for some men, the overall outcome of the treatment can be affected if they’re not absorbed properly.
Regular monitoring is essential to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective. Your TRT doctor will check in with you at the 5-week mark, and further blood tests (now included free with your subscription) will be conducted at 3, 6, and 12 months. These tests allow your doctor to track your progress, identify any side effects, and make precise adjustments to your treatment plan. Our monitoring blood tests, normally £70, are now completely free as part of your plan.
