Sheffrin Men’s Health is a scalable business providing Testosterone Replacement Therapy by injection, integrated with patient education, viability, dosing, testing and measurement by certified physicians, nurse practitioners and administrative personnel. With more than three years developing and distinguishing its practice, the organization is ready for expansion and actively engaged in developing the resources and expertise to do so.
Testosterone deficiency Testosterone and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) have been too narrowly associated with sexual performance. Like other hormones, testosterone is involved in multiple body processes, directly and indirectly. Testosterone levels begin declining naturally at about age 30, but several factors, most notably diabetes and obesity can intensify the rate of decline. As levels decline, men can experience fatigue, weight gain, decreased mental sharpness, loss of motivation, irritability and declining muscle mass as well as loss of libido. Research has linked testosterone deficiency to chronic diseases and risk factors, including heart and vascular diseases, even an overall increased mortality rate.
Returning hormone levels to a normal range can have profound effects: clinically significant improvement in insulin sensitivity, improved strength and endurance, sexual function, stability and balance, and improvements in symptoms associated with heart failure.
The market for TRT Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has been available since the 1930s, yet broadly accepted only during the past decade, primarily due to the introduction of topical gels. Since then, demand has soared, therapy sales growing an average of more than 20 percent annually. TRT today is recognized as an established healthcare field, a lucrative practice with an even more promising future given the current treatment penetration rate, which is less than 12 percent of prospective patients in the U.S., the world’s fastest-growing, largest and most developed TRT market.
TRT sales have been spurred by rising awareness among patients as well as doctors about hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency, and its treatment. Contributing factors include the availability and wider range of treatment options and a surge in the aging population. Aggressive promotions to patients and physicians by such pharmaceutical majors as Abbott Laboratories, Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Columbia Laboratories, Eli Lilly and GlaxoSmithKline are adding momentum.
Further, support of TRT as preventive healthcare is widespread. All major payers cover TRT when administered by appropriately credentialed providers like Sheffrin Men’s Health. (Sheffrin Men’s Health clinics benefit uniquely by the practice’s proprietary, scalable automated system for filing claims, which expedites reimbursement.) And corporate wellness programs support employee use of TRT as part of an effective preventive healthcare regimen.
The Sheffrin practice Not all testosterone replacement therapies are created equal. Early synthetic versions proved intolerable when they were administered orally and incidents of liver damage were reported. Topical gel treatments are flawed for several reasons, including the difficulty of assuring they are applied evenly and absorbed regularly. IInjections following diagnosis by and under the direction of a physician are the preferred treatment methodology as they allow direct blood access, bypassing the liver and preventing complications.
Sheffrin Men’s Health distinguishes its practice in significant ways: Provides patients in depth consultation based on expertise and experience, ensuring patients are educated and receive a superior patient experience. Conducts comprehensive lab tests to ensure patients are viable candidates for therapy and can realize an appreciable level of benefit. Optimizes and individualizes a therapy regimen for each patient that includes regular, consistent monitoring of numerous variables to ensure testosterone levels are achieved and maintained, allowing maximizing benefits and safety and minimizing side effects. Integrates nutrition and fitness consultation to ensure patients maximize the benefits of TRT and experience an overall improvement in lifestyle quality. Maintains leadership in the practice by adopting practices and protocols based on the latest research from the most respected sources, including peer-review journals, clinical trials and Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines. In advanced stages of implementing customized EMR and practice management software that will facilitate administration of the clinical and financial side of added clinics on a large scale Provides position training and cross-position training for all clinic staff.
