Questions about Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Well…..a review of the Remedy Room.

Dr. Mary is easy on the eyes, however.

Dr. Mary is a scam artist of the highest order. She claims she can help legitimately sick people with chronic illnesses, when she has no qualifications to do so. She pushes Doterra essential oils on her patients (which is illegal) and makes wild and false claims about their health benefits. Other doctors in New Orleans have voiced their concerns about her practices and the legitimacy of her license. She's honestly a maniac. At first, she will seem wonderful. She validates your illnesses, which is an incredible feeling when you've been passed around from doctor to doctor with no clear diagnosis or treatment. She assures you she can help you get better. And then she insists you buy all of her "Dr Mary" branded supplements. Yes, it's literally got her name on it. She'll scam you out of thousands and thousands of dollars in your desperation, and only then will you finally realize that this woman is a con. This woman is dangerous. She gives medically disastrous advice, especially when it comes to "block fasting" and the ketogenic diet. Look, there's nothing wrong with keto or intermittent fasting, it works for lots of people. But Dr. Mary will PUSH AND PUSH them on you. She tries to get you to go 5 days without eating a thing. Nothing. And she pushes this even on people with serious blood sugar issues. Her partners have left her and her con game of a "practice", probably for fear of going down with her when her license is finally taken away. She should be shut down for good.

Insurance will only cover for initial blood work (wellness) and testosterone injections. They typically do not cover creams or pellets.

Its covered if so, should be subq shots twice weekly.

Are Lousiana docs now actually pushing SubQ? If so, that is great! Especially for TRT doses.

no idea. i know baylor medical does.

The testosterone itself is very cheap. I pay ~$30 for a 10ml vial that lasts 3 months. That's prescription with GoodRx discount, not UGL. Labs are typically covered by insurance but YMMV. The doc visit itself isn't covered by my insurance but I only see the doc in office once/year (with a few phone/online consults sprinkled in) and that office visit is ~$250.

If you're looking for TRT via telemed:

Defy Medical is well thought of in TRT circles

I'm a fan of Elevate Mens Clinicand would probably use them if I didn't have a good local doc

There are others including Royal Medical and Novus that I know people who've used with success.

Those are "all in" clinics where you're paying a flat monthly fee that covers consults w doctor, labs, medications. They are NOT "Low T Center" like you see in strip malls - avoid those like the plague.

There's a lot of good, and a lot bad/wrong/outdated info out there on TRT. Do your homework and become actively involved in your own healthcare in this area as you should in all others.

Spend some time consuming the TRT and Hormone Optimization channel on YT

I'm late 50s and have been on TRT for a couple years - it's been transformative and that's an understatement. But it's not a light switch, it' a process.

I’ve been with Defy Medical for almost 6 months now. It’s not cheap but they’ve been worth every penny so far.

I asked them if they realized they were not the only player in the game. These clinics are popping up like urgent care centers

Thanks

Sounds like you want this and not necessarily NEED this. If needed, your insurance would cover. Mine does. Been on it for years.
