What is Low Testosterone?
Testosterone is the primary male hormone responsible for energy, muscle growth, fat metabolism, sex drive, mood regulation, and cognitive function. After age 30, testosterone levels naturally decline by about 1-2% per year — but for many men, the drop is steeper.
Research shows that over 40% of men aged 45 and older have clinically low testosterone levels. But low T isn't just an issue for older men — an increasing number of men in their 30s and early 40s are experiencing suboptimal testosterone, driven by stress, poor sleep, environmental factors, and sedentary lifestyles.
The good news: testosterone replacement therapy can restore your levels and help you feel like yourself again. TRT interest has quadrupled over the past five years, and Ohio is among the fastest-growing states for men seeking treatment.

Signs You May Have Low Testosterone
Low T doesn't look the same for every man. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, it may be time to get your levels checked.
Persistent Fatigue
Feeling exhausted even after a full night's sleep. Coffee doesn't help the way it used to.
Low Sex Drive
Decreased interest in intimacy, difficulty with arousal, or erectile dysfunction.
Muscle Loss
Losing muscle mass despite working out, or finding it much harder to build or maintain strength.
Weight Gain
Stubborn belly fat that won't go away no matter how much you diet or exercise.
Brain Fog & Irritability
Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, feeling "off," short-tempered, or anxious for no clear reason.
Poor Sleep
Difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking up unrested, or decreased sleep quality overall.
Experiencing 2 or more of these? A simple blood test can tell you if low T is the cause.

TRT Frequently Asked Questions
What is testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)?
TRT is a medically supervised treatment that restores testosterone to healthy levels in men experiencing low T. At Glow Medical Group in Delaware, Ohio, Chasidy Crist, NP designs personalized TRT protocols based on comprehensive lab work. Treatment typically involves testosterone injections and is monitored with regular blood panels to keep your levels optimized safely.
How do I know if I have low testosterone?
Common signs include persistent fatigue, decreased sex drive, difficulty building muscle, increased body fat (especially around the midsection), brain fog, irritability, and poor sleep. The only definitive way to know is through a blood test. We start every patient with a comprehensive hormone panel at Quest Diagnostics.
What testosterone level is considered low?
Most labs define the normal range as 300-1000 ng/dL, with anything below 300 ng/dL considered clinically low. However, many men experience significant symptoms in the 300-500 ng/dL range. We don't just look at whether you're "in range" — we look at your symptoms, overall health, and where you'd optimally function.
How much does TRT cost at Glow Medical Group?
Male TRT is $199/month, which includes all medical appointments, testosterone medication, supplies, and shipping to your door. Labs are drawn at Quest Diagnostics 2-4 times per year at approximately $100-$200 per draw, paid directly at the time of the blood draw. No contracts or hidden fees.
How quickly will I notice results from TRT?
Most men notice improvements in energy and mood within the first 2-4 weeks. Increased libido and better sleep often follow within 3-6 weeks. Changes in body composition — more muscle, less body fat — typically become noticeable by 3-6 months with consistent treatment and proper nutrition.
Are testosterone injections painful?
Most men report minimal discomfort — a brief pinch similar to a standard vaccination. We use small-gauge needles and provide thorough instruction on self-injection technique so you can comfortably administer your treatment at home.
What are the side effects of TRT?
Possible side effects include acne, increased red blood cell count, fluid retention, and mood changes. These are typically mild and manageable with proper monitoring. We check your labs regularly and adjust your protocol as needed to minimize side effects while maximizing benefits.
Do you offer TRT via telehealth?
Yes! Consultations and follow-ups are available via telehealth across all of Ohio. Labs are drawn at any Quest Diagnostics location near you, and testosterone medication ships directly to your home. This makes TRT accessible whether you're in Columbus, Lewis Center, New Albany, Pickerington, or anywhere in the state.
Is TRT covered by insurance?
Glow Medical Group operates on a direct-pay membership model. At $199/month for all appointments and most medications, many patients find this more affordable than insurance-based clinics with copays, prior authorizations, and restricted formularies. No surprise bills or insurance hassles.
Can I get TRT if I live in Columbus, Lewis Center, or the suburbs?
Absolutely. Our office in Delaware, Ohio is a short drive from Columbus, Lewis Center, Powell, Westerville, Dublin, Worthington, and Sunbury. We also offer telehealth for patients throughout Central Ohio including New Albany, Pickerington, Grove City, Hilliard, German Village, and downtown Columbus.
What labs are required for TRT?
We order a comprehensive hormone panel that typically includes total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, and PSA. Labs are drawn at Quest Diagnostics and repeated 2-4 times per year to monitor your progress and optimize your protocol.
What is the NAD/Testosterone Stack?
The NAD/TRT Stack ($350/month) combines testosterone replacement therapy with NAD+ cellular optimization. NAD+ supports cellular energy, DNA repair, and healthy aging. The protocol involves NAD+ 4 days per week and testosterone 3 days per week on rotating days, delivering enhanced energy, recovery, and anti-aging benefits.
