Moderate Symptoms Detected Moderate Symptoms Detected
Thank you for completing the Biltmore Restorative Medicine Male Hormone Assessment.
Based on your responses, your total symptom score is {calculation-1}/125 , which falls into the Moderate Symptoms range.
What This Means:
Your symptoms indicate a meaningful hormonal imbalance that is affecting your quality of life, performance, and wellbeing. You’re likely experiencing the effects of testosterone deficiency (Low T) that could significantly benefit from professional evaluation and treatment.
You are a good candidate for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).
Men in your symptom range typically see substantial improvements with properly balanced testosterone therapy, often reporting they “feel like themselves again” or “have their edge back” within weeks to months of starting treatment.
The Impact on Your Life:
Moderate symptoms don’t just affect how you feel—they impact:
Work Performance: Reduced energy, focus, and competitive drive affect career success
Physical Health: Muscle loss, fat gain, decreased strength and endurance
Sexual Function: Reduced libido and performance affecting intimacy and confidence
Mental Sharpness: Brain fog, memory issues, and decreased concentration
Emotional Wellbeing: Mood swings, irritability, or depression affecting relationships
Overall Vitality: Feeling older than your years, lacking enthusiasm for life
You don’t have to accept this as “just getting older.”
Why Your Symptoms Matter:
Beyond quality of life, untreated testosterone deficiency increases risks for:
Cardiovascular disease – Low testosterone is linked to heart problems
Type 2 diabetes – Testosterone affects insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
Osteoporosis – Testosterone is crucial for bone density
Muscle loss (sarcopenia) – Accelerated aging and weakness
Cognitive decline – Memory and mental function deterioration
Depression and anxiety – Mental health significantly affected by hormones
Early intervention protects your long-term health.

Step 2: Comprehensive Hormone Testing
To properly diagnose and treat your condition, we recommend:
Essential Tests:
Total Testosterone – Overall testosterone level
Free Testosterone – Bioavailable testosterone (most clinically important)
Estradiol (E2) – Estrogen level (balance is critical)
SHBG – Sex hormone binding globulin
LH and FSH – Pituitary function assessment
DHT – Dihydrotestosterone (potent testosterone metabolite)
Additional Important Tests:
Complete Thyroid Panel – TSH, Free T3, Free T4 (thyroid affects everything)
Complete Metabolic Panel – Overall health assessment
PSA – Prostate health (Dr. Ibrahim’s urological expertise is critical here)
Complete Blood Count – Red blood cells and hematocrit
Vitamin D, B12 – Often deficient and affect energy
Lipid Panel – Cardiovascular health
HbA1c – Glucose metabolism
Why comprehensive testing matters:
Identifies the root cause of your symptoms
Rules out other conditions mimicking low testosterone
Establishes safe baseline before treatment
Allows proper monitoring during treatment
Dr. Ibrahim’s urological expertise ensures prostate safety
Step 3: Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your results, Dr. Ibrahim will design a treatment approach tailored to you:
Bioidentical Testosterone Options:
Testosterone Pellet Implants (Dr. Ibrahim’s preferred method for most men)
Small pellets inserted under the skin (quick, office procedure)
Steady, consistent testosterone levels for 3-4 months
No daily administration or hassle
Most closely mimics natural testosterone production
Proven most effective for moderate to significant symptoms
Testosterone Injections

Thyroid optimization – If thyroid is contributing to symptoms
Nutritional support – Vitamins and supplements to optimize results
Step 4: Monitoring and Optimization
Proper hormone therapy requires ongoing monitoring:
Follow-up at 6 weeks to assess initial response

Common Questions:
“Is testosterone therapy safe?” When properly monitored by an expert like Dr. Ibrahim, testosterone therapy is very safe. Risks are minimized through proper screening, dosing, and monitoring—especially prostate health monitoring, which is Dr. Ibrahim’s specialty.
“Will I have to take this forever?” Most men choose to continue because they feel dramatically better. However, you’re not “locked in.” Testosterone can be discontinued if desired, though symptoms would gradually return.
“What about my prostate?” This is where Dr. Ibrahim’s urological expertise is invaluable. Proper monitoring and management keep your prostate healthy. Current evidence shows testosterone doesn’t cause prostate cancer, but monitoring is still essential.
“Will my insurance cover this?” Some insurance plans cover testosterone therapy if you have documented low testosterone. We can provide documentation for insurance submission. Many men choose to self-pay for more comprehensive optimization.
“How quickly will I feel better?” Most men notice improvements within 2-4 weeks, with progressive benefits over 3-6 months. Timeline varies based on severity of deficiency and individual response.
