Our Objective is simple... To ensure Australian men receive the treatment they deserve

Despite being home to one of the best healthcare systems in the world, Australia sometimes falls short in addressing specific conditions like low testosterone and hypogonadism.

As men age, they undergo various physical, hormonal, and psychological changes. One significant change is a gradual decline in testosterone levels, which can start as early as their 30s and continue throughout life. 

• Nearly 40% of men over 45 have low testosterone.
• 20% of adolescents and young adults also suffer from low testosterone.

Over the past two decades, studies have shown a significant decline in testosterone levels among men, highlighting a concerning trend for men's health...

This hormonal shift can lead to:

• Decreased muscle mass and strength
• Increased body fat
• Reduced libido
• Changes in energy levels, mood, and cognitive function
• Increased fatigue, irritability
• Challenges with memory or concentration. 

• Up to 55% of men do not get regular health screenings

Despite strong evidence showing how common low testosterone is, Australia appears to be lagging behind in prescribing treatments compared to countries like Canada and the United States. 

In several countries the treatment of low testosterone is common and widely accepted. The medical community's in these countries keeps up with the latest research, particularly studies that highlight the safety and benefits of responsible treatment.

However, in Australia, there is still a stigma associated with treating low testosterone. Additionally, Australia has a very wide reference range for total and free testosterone levels, with the lower end of the range being much lower than what international standards and research-focused societies would consider hypogonadal.

In Australia, many men suffering from symptoms, frequently encounter significant challenges in obtaining Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) from their GP's or endocrinologists.

At Advanced Sports Clinic we are dedicated to providing a medically sound and balanced approach to TRT, ensuring our patients receive appropriate and safe treatment for their specific needs.

For men who are deemed eligible through our rigorous screening, we use the minimal effective doses and monitor patients blood work and symptoms frequently to ensure we keep levels in the physiologic range, improve your symptoms and monitor you for any side effects.

Several conditions can mimic the symptoms of low testosterone in men, making it important to perform a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause before commencing testosterone replacement.

That is why you will have a 30 minute consultation with an Australian trained doctor, not a "health admin" like other online clinics. Our experienced doctor can help differentiate between these conditions and low testosterone through a comprehensive evaluation, including a complete medical history and extensive laboratory tests to determine if you need low testosterone replacement.

If need be the doctor can organise for further testing or referral to other specialists if there is evidence of other medical conditions.

TRT is only indicated and prescribed for men suffering from low testosterone confirmed by blood tests and having symptoms that correlate with it, as well as no other clear cause of the symptoms.  

If you are eligible for TRT, we know that everyone is different. There are multiple different options available when it comes to TRT therapy, from patches to creams and gels, to short acting and long acting depo injections. It is essential to get the dosage right for you. We aim to keep your testosterone levels in the upper range of normal (20-33nmol/L). Studies show that this will have maximum impact on reducing your symptoms while minimising your risk of side effects and complications.

Our medical doctor will discuss the options with you and tailor the best treatment regime for you.

No subscription fees, no hidden costs, no ongoing service fees. You only pay for the service we provide you. Our aim is to help you improve your quality of life.

You will receive a complete pathology blood form prior to your appointment which will need to be done fasted and first thing in the morning. In most cases this is bulk billed by the pathology lab.

Following your initial consultation, you have a complimentary 15 minute consultation available to you over the following 4 weeks free of charge.

Our aim is provide you with the best health care and to improve your quality of life. That is why if you are on TRT therapy, follow up with your treating doctor is important.

In most circumstances if you are commencing TRT for the first time, you will need follow up bloods and assessment of your symptoms in the first 2 to 4 weeks of commencing the medication.

Subsequently you will have meticulous follow up with 3 monthly blood tests and doctor review to ensure your treatment is optimised.

The cost of TRT therapy can vary depending the medication and dosage required. With our established pharmacy partners, the average daily cost of TRT can be between $2.80 to $5 a day, depending on the medication and dosage required.

In most circumstances your script will be sent directly to the pharmacy who will dispense the medication directly to your home via express post.

Finding a doctor in Australia to prescribe TRT can be quite challenging. We have our own doctors who are passionate and have experience in managing patients with low testosterone.

By offering a telehealth care service, we can cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Our services include diagnosing, investigating and tailoring the best treatment for men suffering form testosterone deficiency, in a convenient and cost-effective way.
