HRT & Peptide Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
Overcome Symptoms of Low T & Boost Sexual Wellness, Brain Functioning, Muscle Mass, and More
Aging is a natural process, but for many men, it can bring about some difficult experiences such as a decrease in libido, energy, mental functioning, and much more. This is due to testosterone levels dropping in men as they age, starting at around the age of 30 and progressively getting worse into your 40s. Low T can cause a wide variety of concerns from sexual dysfunctions to irritability.
If you’re struggling with symptoms of low testosterone, TRT can help! Testosterone replacement therapy acts as a way for millions of men to overcome these problematic symptoms. If you think you’re dealing with low testosterone and want to explore the different treatment options, including TRT and peptides, contact BSW.

Call us today at (818) 240-2233 to schedule your consultation and learn if TRT is right for you.
When Do Testosterone Levels Start to Decline?
Testosterone levels tend to peak at around 17 and naturally begin to decline between the ages of 30 and 40. The decline is gradual, with most men experiencing a 1% drop yearly. As the body continues to age, test levels continue to decrease at a faster rate. By age 70, most men have approximately 30% less testosterone than they did at the peak, though this often remains within a normal range for that age.
On top of the disruptions low testosterone can have to the way you feel and how you live your life, studies show that low testosterone is actually linked to an increased risk in heart disease. According to the Journal of American Urology, “Research has consistently shown that low testosterone levels are associated with an increased incidence of major adverse cardiac events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and possible cardiovascular-related mortality and an increased prevalence of certain atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors.”
The study goes on to point out that, “Testosterone deficient patients should be informed that low testosterone levels place them at risk for these major cardiovascular events.”
What is Testosterone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Testosterone is a vital hormone that maintains muscle mass, energy levels, libido, mood, cognitive functioning, and more. However, as we age, testosterone levels in men tend to decline naturally, often leading to symptoms that affect our quality of life.
Testosterone therapy is a treatment created to help men restore their hormone levels and improve their daily life. Since Low T often results in symptoms like fatigue, decreased muscle mass, brain fog, trouble concentrating, trouble thinking, low libido, and other sexual concerns, it can be really devastating for some men to live with day in and day out. Hormone therapy acts as a way for men to overcome this natural, yet unfortunate life process by replenishing testosterone levels.
TRT increases energy, improves mental clarity, enhances muscle strength, and boosts metabolism. This therapy can also help regulate mood, reducing feelings of irritability, anxiety, and depression while promoting better sleep quality for overall well-being.
In addition to physical and mental benefits, testosterone therapy supports sexual health and performance, helping to restore libido and improve erectile function. It also plays a crucial role in bone health, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and supporting long-term strength and mobility. With a properly managed treatment plan, men can regain their vitality, confidence, and quality of life, feeling more like themselves again. Whether dealing with age-related testosterone decline or hormone imbalances, this therapy offers a safe and effective way to optimize overall health and performance.

Different Forms of Testosterone Therapy Available at BSW
BSW is proud to offer two distinct forms of testosterone therapy. We offer pellets and injections:
Testosterone Pellets: This form of TRT involves making a tiny incision near the hip, through which we insert the testosterone pellets, each the size of a grain of rice. We insert the pellets under the skin using a trocar. The pellets slowly release the hormones over the course of about three to four months.
Testosterone Injections: TRT is also offered as an intramuscular injection. Depending on your treatment plan, we often administer these injections directly into the gluteal muscles every 10-14 days.
How Do I Know If I’m a Candidate for Testosterone Therapy?
Testosterone therapy is a valid treatment for any man who notices a decline in the way they feel about their manhood. For example, if you have a low sex drive, less stamina, are gaining weight, and feel fatigue, you could be a candidate for TRT. If you suspect something may be going on with your test levels, we can find the issue during appropriate medical testing like a simple blood test.
Schedule a consultation with BSW to determine if Testosterone Replacement is right for you and your concerns.
BSW proudly offers CJC-1295 Peptide Therapy as a complimentary treatment for our TRT programs!
Peptide Therapy Also Available at BSW
Peptide Therapy is an incredible addition to TRT. Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. They are very important as they help the body perform vital functions. Peptide therapy directs other cells on what to do by replacing or mimicking the functions of the naturally occurring peptides. The difference? These peptides can rewrite cell chemistry, promote restoration, encourage anabolism, and enhance homeostasis. In addition, peptide therapy can also help men lose weight by stimulating the breakdown of visceral fat.
BSW is proud to offer some of the most popular peptides, including:
CJC-1295
The CJC-1295 peptide resembles the atomic structure of growth hormone-releasing hormones like Sermorelin. This peptide therapy stimulates the pituitary gland. It is composed of 29 key amino acids and has the power to spur growth hormone levels in adult patients. This means it can enhance the physical and mental peaks you want to achieve, along with improvements in lean muscle mass and fat reduction, and it can essentially slow down the aging process.
BPC-157
The peptide BPC-157 is a naturally occurring protective protein that is found in the stomach. This form of peptide therapy can help you overcome joint pain, injuries, and organ damage. It can also improve joint mobility by accelerating angiogenic repair.
We also offer additional peptides and can discuss them during a consultation.

Frequently asked
QUESTIONS
What are the potential side effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Some possible side effects include:
- Increased red blood cell count (can be managed with regular blood tests)
- Water retention
- Acne or oily skin
- Changes in cholesterol levels
- Possible testicular shrinkage or reduced sperm count (for those concerned with fertility)
Most side effects are manageable with proper monitoring and dosage adjustments.
Can TRT help with weight loss and muscle gain?
Absolutely! Testosterone therapy can enhance fat metabolism and muscle growth, making it easier to lose stubborn fat and gain lean muscle mass when combined with a proper diet and exercise routine.
If you are currently experiencing chronic pain, you may only need to visit two or three times a month or whenever you experience a flare-up. Alternatively, if you are not in any pain and simply wish to maintain your wellness, you may only need to get an adjustment once a month.
Do I have to be on TRT for life?
TRT is a long-term commitment, but some men choose to stop or cycle off with the guidance of their provider. Stopping TRT suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms, so a proper post-therapy plan is necessary.
Is TRT safe?
When administered and monitored by a qualified provider, TRT is generally safe. Regular bloodwork ensures hormone levels remain balanced, and side effects are minimized. However, like any medical treatment, individual risks may vary, so ongoing monitoring is essential.
