Low testosterone affects 1 in 4 men over 40 — yet most are never properly tested, and many find themselves at franchise clinics with cookie-cutter protocols. At BioidenticalHormones.nyc — a division of Patients Medical since 1974 — Dr. Rashmi Gulati provides physician-led TRT that goes far deeper than the standard testosterone check.

Most men dismiss these as “just getting older.” They’re not — they’re symptoms of a treatable hormonal condition.
The standard “normal” range (300–1,000 ng/dL) spans men of ALL ages. A 40-year-old at 310 ng/dL is technically “normal” but significantly below optimal for his age. This is why Dr. Gulati tests free testosterone, SHBG, and the full hormonal picture — not just total T.

Adrenal hormone precursor
Low thyroid mimics and worsens low T symptoms
Chronic stress destroys testosterone levels
Glucose, insulin resistance, inflammation markers
