Is there a committed time?
There is NO time commitment. It is necessary to have patience for the first 8-10 weeks, so that the doctor is able to review your labs and make changes so that your levels are safely balanced. This prevents any side effects that may occur while optimizing your levels to the higher end of the “normal range”.
Will insurance cover my hormone treatment therapy?
NO, but there is a chance you will be reimbursed depending on the type of insurance you have. In general, if you have a PPO, there is a 50% chance for all or partial reimbursement. You will not get reimbursed if you have an HMO, POS, Tricare, Medicaid or Medicare. Medical savings accounts associated with your credit card may be utilized. RjsLowT4men will provide paid invoices to you. It will be your responsibility to seek REIMBURSEMENT.
What is the general cost of your program?
The cost of the program will vary, depending on your specific needs and personal goals. The price will vary if you are deficient in ALL hormones, including Human Growth Hormone, and chooses the full program. Remember, you only pay as you go, so some months will be more and some less. You will receive a price list for your review prior to becoming a client.

Will I go bald from using testosterone?
The rule of thumb is, if you do not have male pattern baldness or loss of hair before the age of 40, testosterone will not cause you to lose hair. However, if you do have male pattern baldness before the age of 40, then it is possible that testosterone, due to its conversion to DHT, could exacerbate the rate at which you are losing hair.
Is there an increased risk of prostate cancer with HRT?
NO. In fact, LOW testosterone and LOW estrogen levels have been directly linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer. RjsLowT4men will test your PSA throughout treatment.
