When low testosterone or hypogonadism occurs, however, males begin to notice concerning symptoms that often affect their everyday lives and romantic relationships.

Causes What Causes Low Testosterone?

Also called low T, lower testosterone levels are most often caused by aging. When testosterone levels deplete in this manner, it occurs naturally - just about every man will experience lower levels of testosterone as they get older. However, other causes of low T also exist, including drug abuse, obesity, prescribed meds, testicle injuries and even taking certain bodybuilding supplements.

When men lose significant amounts of testosterone, it alters their body's levels of testosterone and estrogen. Lower T levels usually result in abdominal fat, which in turn causes estrogen synthetize levels to increase, creating even higher levels of estrogen in the body. With more estrogen and less testosterone, a number of concerning issues begin to surface. Some of the symptoms of low testosterone include:

  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Lowered Libido
  • Lowered Sperm Count
  • More Body Fat
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Issues with Concentration
  • Male Breast Development
  • Less Muscle Mass
  • Motivation Issues

If you're a man struggling with one or more of the symptoms above, it could be because you have low testosterone. But the only way you can find out for sure is to have your testosterone levels tested by a wellness center like Proactive Wellness. If your testosterone levels are low, TRT in Reston, VA, may be the answer to your low-T problems.

Understanding The Symptoms of Low Testosterone

Are you starting to notice that you don't feel like "you" when you're at home or at work? Do you feel tired and lethargic all the time, even in your free time away from the office? Many men mistake these symptoms for being too sleepy or too busy. But the truth is, they're suffering from low testosterone. Since no two males will have the same symptoms of low T, it's prudent to recognize and understand some of the most common signs:

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction

If there were two words that all men wish to avoid, it's these two. Being unable to perform in the most intimate moments isn't just embarrassing - it can affect long-term relationships and mental health. It's a difficult topic to talk about. But it doesn't have to be. Our experts are ready to help you re-light that special spark.

Low Libido

Low Libido

When you have low testosterone, sometimes the thought of having sex just isn't appealing. If you're one of the many men in the U.S. who lacks sex drive, it might not be you. I could be low testosterone. Don't settle for a mediocre sex drive - reclaim your vigor at Proactive Wellness Centers.

Lack of Sleep

Lack of Sleep

Do you work hard every day and come home exhausted, only to find that you toss and turn all night long? Whether you have undiagnosed insomnia or another sleep disorder, it could be linked to low T.

Less Strength and Muscle Mass

Less Strength and Muscle Mass

When testosterone levels deplete as we age, men lose their ability to lift heavy items, even with weightlifting routines in the gym. If you're making a concerted effort to maintain your muscle mass and strength but aren't making gains, it could be due to low T.

Depression

Depression

Your brain is home to many testosterone receptors, but when your body has low T, it can affect your mood. With time, poor spirits can lead to serious psychological issues, like depression. However, studies show that TRT in Reston, VA, can rebalance your hormones, which can help relieve depression and improve your mood.

Lack of Concentration

Lack of Concentration

Do you find it hard to complete normal tasks when you're at work? Does it seem like your memory is fading? Does your spouse or significant other complain that you're not paying attention to them? The effects of low testosterone don't just affect your body - they can affect your mind and memory, too. When your testosterone levels are within normal range, brain fog and other concentration issues have been shown to go away.

What are the Risks of Living with Low Testosterone?

At Proactive Wellness Centers, we understand what men must go through daily when they have low testosterone. They suffer from fatigue and lack motivation and often don't feel like their usual selves. But as bad as those symptoms sound, living with low T can have more severe health risks that that put vital organs at risk. Some of the most concerning health risks you should be aware of include the following:

Some of the most concerning health risks you should be aware of include the following:

Sexual Function Reston, VA
heart-health

Heart Health

If you've been told by a doctor that you have high blood pressure, you're probably wondering what it stems from. Is it aging? Is it hereditary? Is it something else? According to academic research, men with low T have a higher chance of developing cardiovascular illnesses. When testosterone levels are low, red blood cell reproduction suffers. When that happens, plaque buildup in your arteries may be accelerated. With time, plaque building can lead to very serious problems like strokes and heart attacks.

Anemia

Anemia

When you have anemia, your body has a lack of or dysfunctional red blood cells, meaning your organs have less oxygen with which to function. Because testosterone has a role in healthy red blood cell production, it makes sense that men with low t have a higher risk of anemia. In fact, a 2009 study found that older men with low T are 5x more likely to be anemic than men with healthy levels of testosterone. While TRT in Reston, VA, isn't a cure for anemia, it will help produce more red blood cells in your body, which can prevent anemia.

Diabetes

Diabetes

If you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes, and you're trying to figure out why, it may be linked to your T levels. That's because men with low testosterone have a greater chance of developing diabetes as they age. Similarly, men with diabetes are much more likely to have low testosterone, establishing a relationship between diabetes and testosterone. This relationship is further solidified by the fact that men with low T have a more challenging time resisting insulin. Though TRT won't cure diabetes, studies show that men with healthy testosterone levels also have healthier blood sugar levels and are often less obese.

Obesity

Obesity

If you look in the mirror in the morning and can't stand how much body fat you've gained since getting older, you're not alone. Many aging men have problems with their waistlines. If you eat well and exercise regularly but still can't get rid of that unsightly stomach or body fat, the culprit may be low testosterone. Multiple studies have shown the link between obesity and low T. In fact, testosterone plays an important role in food metabolism by regulating insulin, glucose, and fat. Fortunately, when combined with diet and exercise, men who undergo TRT can often lose weight and enjoy improved blood glucose and low-density cholesterol levels.

Testosterone replacement therapy does precisely what it sounds like: It is a science-backed therapy that replaces low testosterone levels in men. The ultimate goal of TRT is to improve your life and well-being by balancing your hormones. Also referred to as androgen replacement therapy, TRT helps many men deal with and overcome the debilitating side effects of low T.

Originally developed by scientists in the 1930s, TRT has grown substantially in popularity over the years. Today, it is one of the most common and promising treatments for males with low testosterone.

How Does TRT Work?

Without getting too scientific, TRT works by providing your body with the testosterone it needs to function properly. Without healthy levels of testosterone, the male body can't maintain the natural processes it needs for overall health. In fact, men with low testosterone levels are more prone to serious health problems like type-2 diabetes and even heart disease. Until their T levels are restored to normal, most men suffer until they find a solution.

That's where TRT comes into play. With balanced hormones, your body can finally begin to heal, causing most symptoms of low t to diminish greatly.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Trust The Proactive Wellness Difference

Did you know that 13 million males suffer from low T, but a whopping 90% go untreated by doctors? The reason is that conventional doctors believe that unless your Testosterone level is below the low lab reference range level, that your are "OK". At Proactive Wellness, we help you to optimize and be the best you can be, not just OK. Why be OK, when with the help of the right Testosterone dose, you can feel better, be healthier, stronger and more vibrant. If you believe that your testosterone levels are at unhealthy levels, it's time to contact Proactive Wellness Centers for testing. Living with low testosterone is a risk, but with personalized TRT in Reston, VA, you can minimize the harmful effects on your body.

Unlike other TRT clinics, we utilize a more complete and personalized approach to Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Our approach considers the role of DHEA, another very important hormone that needs to be balanced. And we look at Estradiol conversion, the unwanted effect where some men convert too much Testosterone to estradiol. In this case, these men (about 10%) need a medication to block this conversion, called an aromatase inhibitor. But notice that I mentioned that only 10% of men need this, but at many men's clinics, all men automatically get an aromatase inhibitor whether they need it or not. This drives Estradiol too low, causing other issues. Yes, Men need Estradiol also, but they need it in the proper proportion. Bottom line, our personalized approach ensures that you get exactly what you need, no more and no less.

Further, Proactive Wellness offers the widest range of Testosterone Replacement options so that men can choose the best for their particular lifestyle. Choose from pellets that are inserted just under the skin and last for 4-5 months, or the most popular option, Test Cypionate injections that are typically done weekly, or specialized transdermal cream or even a specialized intranasal application that mimics natural testosterone levels. Any of these methods are available at Proactive Wellness Centers so that you can get the option that is right for you.

Is testosterone replacement therapy enough? Maybe, it all depends on your goals and your lab results. Many men are also deficient in growth hormone (GH) and this hormone can also contribute to you not being your best. If this one is low, Proactive Wellness offers a range of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) peptides to increase your GH levels. Many men combine this with TRT to feel their absolute best.

If you're ready to reclaim your confidence and return to loving life on your own terms, our physicians and medical team are ready to help. Don't be one of those men who constantly complain about their health but don't do anything about it. Contact Proactive Wellness Centers today to make a difference in your life!

RESTON, VA — A Reston-based defense contractor agreed to pay $1.95 million in order to settle False Claims Act allegations involving two Air Force contracts, according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office release.

Two former Intelligent Waves employees filed a false claims lawsuit against the company under the whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act. As such, the two whistleblowers will receive a percentage of the $1.95 million settlement.

A news release from Intelligent Waves said it maintains it acted lawfully, transparently, and in good faith. The decision to settle does not reflect any admission of wrongdoing, but rather a practical and strategic business determination made to avoid the time, expense, and disruption of protracted litigation.

“We take immense pride in our longstanding commitment to integrity, accountability, and client service, especially in support of our nation’s most vital missions,” said Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves, in the statement. “While we believe our actions were always responsible and aligned with applicable guidance, we opted to resolve this civil matter to move forward without the uncertainty and distraction of extended legal proceedings."

The U.S. Attorney accused Intelligent Waves of knowingly making false statements that induced the awarding of the SAPF contract and provided meals and entertainment to Air Force employees before the award of and during the period of performance of the crowd-sourced and SAPF contracts, court records say.

In September 2019, Intelligent Waves, LLC signed a crowd-sourced contract with the Air Force to provide crowd-sourced flight data collection support and data analytics to the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, according to court records.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Intelligent Waves sold equipment to the Air Force that the company knew wasn’t authorized under the crowd-sourced contract. In addition, the contractor submitted invoices to the Air Force portraying the same equipment as authorized equipment under the contract, court records say.

On top of that, Intelligent Waves also knowingly submitted invoices to the Air Force for products and/or labor that the company failed to deliver, court records say. The contractor failed to provide credit to the Air Force for the undelivered products and/or labor. Instead, the company provided substitute products requested by non-procurement personnel.

In November 2020, Intelligent Waves signed a special access program facilities contract with the Air Force to build special access program facilities at Edwards Air Force Base in California, according to court documents.

Rehab 2 Perform's new Reston location offers physical therapy, sports rehab, concussion care, pelvic health and peripartum care.

Michael O'Connell, Patch Staff

RESTON, VA — Josh Funk’s own bad experience as a college athlete recovering from an injury him to launch their own rehab business 10 years ago.

“Rehab 2 Perform has been in existence for a little over a decade, which is really cool, because an idea that I had in college became something that was able to actually sustain over time and turn into, at this point, an 11-location company.”

As a member of The Ohio State University lacrosse team with R2P's chief of operations Matt Cornell, Funk suffered an injury that required a period of rehabilitation. While he received excellent care and support from the people and facilities at Ohio State, that was not the case when he returned home and tried to continue rehab.

“I became what we want to avoid in healthcare, which is churn,” he said. ”We want to avoid people churning out and ideally not having ideal outcomes.”

That philosophy became an idea, which allowed Funk, Cornell and the rest of the R2P team to expand beyond the company’s original location in Frederick, Maryland to 10 other facilities across the DMV, including its newest cent in Reston.

Find out what's happening in Restonfor free with the latest updates from Patch.

One of the significant changes in healthcare recently is that physical therapy has shifted more to direct access service. As such, 80-85 percent of the people who come to R2P for PT do so without a doctor’s referral, according to Funk.

“We do physical therapy, sports rehab, concussion care, pelvic health and peripartum care,” he said. “You might think of PT, and you might think of feeling better. ‘I'm going somewhere if I have pain.’ We would argue that that's part of the equation. It's very, very important that not only do we do things to address discomfort, but we put you in a position where you do reduce your risk of re-injury."

On Friday afternoon, the R2P team celebrated their shared success by taking part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Reston center. They were joined by family, friends and other business leaders from Reston.

“It's always exciting to see and celebrate a brand new business coming into Reston,” said Charles Kapur, president and CEO of the Greater Reston Chamber of Commerce. “It speaks to the vibrancy of the business community and the opportunities and the growth here in the greater western region”

Even though R2P's rehab center at 11507 Sunset Hills Road in Reston opened on Oct. 21, 2024, Funk and his team have already been active in the local business community, according to Kapur.

“From day one, the community has responded so positively by supporting them, and they're providing a huge service,” he said. “Our community needs top quality health services, and Rehab 2 Perform is a fantastic member of our dynamic health services industry here in Reston."
