Hormone Therapy in Troy, MI

Low energy. Weight that will not come off. Mood that is not quite right. Sleep that does not restore you. For many patients, these symptoms get brushed off as just getting older. Sometimes that is accurate. Sometimes it is a hormone problem that is entirely treatable, and the only way to know is to actually test and look at the full picture.

At Phase Medical Group, Dr. Alex Christofis offers hormone therapy and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as part of a thorough, patient-centered family medicine practice. We are not a hormone clinic and we are not a specialty shop. We are your family doctor, and hormone therapy is one piece of your overall health, not the whole story.

What Is Hormone Therapy?

Hormone therapy involves supplementing or replacing hormones your body no longer produces in adequate amounts. As we age, hormone levels naturally decline, leading to symptoms that many people assume are just part of getting older. The truth is that many of these symptoms are treatable.

We start with a careful evaluation of your symptoms and health history. If hormone testing is appropriate, we can order lab work to check your levels and guide treatment decisions. Lab work is billed separately through your insurance.

Treatment Options We Offer

We offer hormone therapy through injections and topical gels. Your physician will work with you to determine which method best fits your needs, lifestyle, and health goals.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

TRT is one of the most common hormone treatments we provide. For men with clinically low testosterone, TRT can help restore energy, improve mood, support healthy body composition, and address sexual health concerns. We offer both injectable and topical gel options.

Hormone therapy for women

For women experiencing symptoms related to menopause or hormonal changes, we can discuss hormone therapy options to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Treatment plans are individualized based on your symptoms, health history, and risk factors.

What to Expect

Step 1: Initial consultation

Your first visit includes a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and health goals. Your physician will discuss whether hormone testing is appropriate for you. If lab work is needed, we can order it at that time. Lab work is billed separately through your insurance.

Step 2: Review and treatment plan

Once your results are in, we review them together and discuss your options. If hormone therapy is appropriate, your physician will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and walk you through what to expect.

Step 3: Ongoing monitoring

Hormone therapy requires regular follow-up to make sure your treatment is working and to adjust dosing as needed. We schedule periodic check-ins and lab work to track your progress and ensure safety.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Hormone therapy may be right for you if you are experiencing:

• Symptoms consistent with hormone imbalance
• Lab results confirming low or imbalanced hormone levels
• Symptoms that have not improved with lifestyle changes alone
• Menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms affecting daily life

Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Your physician will review your full health picture to determine whether it is a safe and suitable option for you.
