Understanding Testosterone & Men's Health
In Grand Junction and across Colorado, more and more men are taking charge of their health — and a big part of that conversation is about testosterone. As a key hormone in the male body, testosterone affects nearly every aspect of men’s health: energy, mood, muscle strength, libido, and overall vitality.
As men age, it’s natural for testosterone levels to decline, but for many, the symptoms of low testosterone (Low T) can severely impact daily life and long-term health. Fortunately, there are solutions — and the team at Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado is here to help.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men
Not sure if Low T is affecting you? These are the most common symptoms we see in men from Grand Junction and surrounding areas:
Chronic fatigue and lack of motivation
Decreased sex drive and performance issues
Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
Loss of muscle mass and strength
Depression, anxiety, or irritability
Poor concentration and memory (a.k.a. “brain fog”)
Trouble sleeping or staying asleep
Hair loss or thinning
Weakened bones or frequent injuries
General feeling of not being yourself
If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to accept them as “just aging.”
What Is Testosterone Pellet Therapy?
At Hormone Health and Wellness of Colorado in Grand Junction, we specialize in testosterone pellet therapy, one of the most effective and low-maintenance treatment options for men with Low T.
Pellet therapy involves inserting small, natural hormone pellets just under the skin (typically in the hip area), which release a steady, optimized dose of testosterone over 4–6 months. This eliminates the need for daily gels, weekly shots, or messy creams.
