WELLCORE HRT BENEFITS

What are some of the benefits of Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy service for men?

Potential benefits include an increase in strength, fat loss, muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, sexual function, mood and exercise recovery. Studies demonstrate a reduced risk of diabetes, osteoporosis and overall metabolic health (glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol) after 1 year of continuous therapy. Hormone optimization therapy IS NOT a magic elixir. The more you improve your sleep, nutrition and exercise regimen while on hormone optimization therapy, the better your results and overall risk of developing chronic diseases in the future will be.

What makes Wellcore different from other companies that provide access to testosterone-boosting therapies?

Wellcore’s top priority is providing safe and effective hormone optimization therapy to our clients. We achieve this by continually monitoring up to two dozen different biomarkers with a convenient, practically painless, at-home, whole-blood-collection device called Tasso. These biomarkers consist of all seven sex hormones related to testosterone therapy, including free testosterone. Free testosterone is the most important analyte to monitor while on testosterone optimization therapy because it is the unbound, active form of testosterone that creates the physiological benefits of increasing one’s testosterone levels.

Most companies monitor one’s total testosterone level. Wellcore also assesses cholesterol levels, kidney function, liver function and the percentage of red blood cells circulating in your blood (hematocrit). Hematocrit is important for safety because being on hormone optimization therapy for more than three months can raise one’s production of red blood cells. This can be a good thing, as it increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of your body, but it can also increase blood pressure. Wellcore uses a practically painless auto-injector device to administer testosterone injections. These injections allow us to use a smaller, shorter needle. With the reusable auto-injector device, one doesn’t have to self-jab with a needle. The device does all the work at the push of a button.

HOW WELLCORE WORKS

When will I receive my Wellcore Hormone Optimization Therapy kit and medication?

Kits are typically shipped out within 24 hours after your payment has been processed.

What comes in my Wellcore Hormone Optimization Therapy kit?

Your kit includes a three-month supply of all hormone-related medications (testosterone and/or clomiphene), injection supplies, and a practically painless autoinjector.

What happens during and after my Wellcore clinician consultation?

Your Wellcore clinician will discuss your medical history, bloodwork and current concerns and determine whether a personalized treatment protocol is a good fit for you. If medications are recommended, you will have the option to pay for and begin treatment immediately.

Will Wellcore function as my primary care physician (PCP)?

No, you should still have a PCP to address any acute issues or concerns. We will alert you if we believe you need to follow-up with your PCP for any abnormalities that we see in your bloodwork or medical history that may require further investigation.

How often do I meet with a clinician or provide blood samples?

You will receive Wellcore’s practically painless at-home blood collection device about eight weeks after starting your personalized treatment protocol. After your blood sample has been analyzed by our lab, a member of your Client Success Team will contact you to schedule a follow-up to review your results and discuss any further optimizations. It is important that you complete this follow-up process in a timely manner to avoid any delays in refilling your medication(s).

How much does this service cost?

Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy service for men is $225 per month and is billed quarterly. This includes a three-month supply of all hormone-related medications (testosterone and/or clomiphene), injection supplies, a practically painless autoinjector, follow-up labs, follow-up clinician consultation, custom storage case, and unlimited access to your Wellcore Client Success Team via text and email. Add-on medications for hair loss or skin care are billed separately.

If I start Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy service for men, do I have to stay on it for the rest of my life?

Although most men choose to continue testosterone once they have started (due to the benefits and how they feel), you can stop whenever you’d like. After you stop testosterone injections, it may take three months to a year for you to return to your age-appropriate baseline (pre-testosterone therapy) testicular function. For example, if you are on testosterone therapy for 10 years and then stop it, you will return to a testicular function that is appropriate for someone 10 years older than when you initially started treatment. The timeframe to return to this age-appropriate level is dependent on the duration of your therapy. Taking clomiphene during and after stopping testosterone injections can greatly speed up the return to baseline testicular function and mitigate the potential for any symptoms associated with an abrupt decline in levels.

Health & Safety

Does Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy cause infertility?

Injecting testosterone causes a reduction in your ability to produce sperm, so yes, it can cause infertility. If you are concerned about fertility or may want to have children in the future, we do NOT recommend testosterone injection therapy. In this case, we recommend using the medication clomiphene to increase your testosterone levels, which will maintain and often increase your sperm count/fertility. Clomiphene stimulates the brain to increase the hormones (LH and FSH) that are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone in the testes.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy increase my risk of prostate cancer?

A majority of clinical studies do NOT demonstrate an increase in the risk of prostate cancer. In fact, some demonstrate a reduced risk of prostate cancer the longer one is on therapy to increase testosterone levels. In studies where participants developed prostate cancer, it was of a lesser severity than those in the group of participants that were not on testosterone therapy. Furthermore, there are studies that demonstrate an association between low testosterone levels and an increased risk of prostate cancer.

Does Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy increase my risk of a heart attack and/or stroke?

In those that had diagnosed heart disease with low testosterone levels before starting testosterone therapy, some clinical studies demonstrate a reduced risk of overall death and heart attack or stroke while on testosterone therapy. In those that did not have underlying heart disease before starting testosterone therapy, it has NOT been demonstrated that starting therapy increased the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Does Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy increase my risk of a blood clot (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism)?

Increasing testosterone levels causes a secondary erythrocytosis. This means your body makes more red blood cells (RBCs), and as a result your hematocrit (percentage of RBC in your blood) increases. Many people still believe that this increases one’s risk of developing a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (DVT or PE). If you have had a DVT or PE prior to starting medication that increases your testosterone levels, you may be more likely to have a DVT or PE while on Hormone Optimization Therapy. Studies have shown that you are NOT more likely to have a blood clot on Hormone Optimization Therapy if you never had one before starting it.

If you have a genetic predisposition to forming a DVT or PE prior to starting medication that increases your testosterone levels, you could be at an increased risk of having a DVT or PE while on Hormone Optimization Therapy. An increase in RBCs can cause an increase in blood pressure, which can put undue stress on the arteries of your circulatory system—which, if left untreated over time, can increase your risk of a cardiovascular event (heart attack or stroke). For this reason, it is important to check your blood pressure at least once per week (using Wellcore’s Blood Pressure Monitoring Protocol) while on Hormone Optimization Therapy. If your blood pressure increases by more than 10 points (systolic) and 10 points (diastolic), please inform your Client Success Team.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy cause my hair to fall out?

Increasing testosterone levels increases a metabolite called DHT. In some who are genetically predisposed, this can cause or worsen hair loss on the scalp. If you have or have had hair loss on the scalp before starting hormone optimization therapy, we recommend you take low dose finasteride and minoxidil (one capsule) or use a topical scalp cream. These medications have been shown to be effective at reducing loss of hair on the scalp while on hormone optimization therapy.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy cause acne?

Increasing testosterone levels will increase oil production in the skin. For some, this can create or worsen acne on the face, chest, back or shoulders. If you currently have or have had moderate-to-severe acne as a teenager, we recommend you wash your face, chest, back and shoulders with soap and water at least once per day while on the program. In addition to this, we can prescribe you a topical cream to treat any acne that may arise.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy cause me to become angry and aggressive or experience “roid rage”?

Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy program is highly personalized and is designed to optimize your testosterone levels. The doses of medication that your clinician will prescribe very rarely cause negative changes in mood. Many men, depending how low their baseline testosterone levels are, experience a more stable and improved mood. If you do notice a change in mood, your Client Success Team is available by text or email to speak with you and make changes to your regimen as needed.

Does Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Program cause infertility?

Injecting testosterone causes a reduction in sperm production while one is on testosterone. Being on exogenous testosterone for an extended period of time can cause infertility. If you are concerned about your sperm count/fertility or may want to have children in the future, we do NOT recommend taking testosterone in any form. In this case, we recommend using the medication clomiphene to increase your testosterone levels which will maintain and often increase your sperm count/fertility. Clomiphene stimulates the brain to increase the hormones (LH and FSH) that are responsible for producing sperm and testosterone in the testes.

If you have a genetic predisposition to forming a blood clot prior to starting medication that increases your testosterone levels, you could be at an increased risk of having a blood clot while on these medications. Studies have shown that you are NOT more likely to have a blood clot on testosterone if you never had one before starting testosterone.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Program cause my hair to fall out?

Increasing testosterone levels also increases a hormone called DHT. In those that are genetically predisposed, this can cause or worsen hair loss on the scalp. If you have or have had hair loss on the scalp, we recommend you start a hair regrowth cream or take a daily capsule at the time that you start medication that increases testosterone. These medications have been shown to be effective at reducing loss of hair on the scalp while on medications that increase levels of testosterone.

Will Wellcore’s Hormone Optimization Therapy cause acne?

Increasing testosterone levels will increase oil production in the skin. For some, this can create or worsen acne on the face, chest, back, or shoulders. If you currently have or have had moderate to severe acne as a teenager, we recommend you wash your face, chest, back, and shoulders well with soap and water at least once per day. In addition to this, we can prescribe you a topical cream to treat any acne that may arise.
