Low energy. Weight gain. Irritability. A dip in libido. These are more than just signs of getting older—they may point to low testosterone. At Northern California Wellness in El Dorado Hills, men’s testosterone therapy is a safe, effective way to restore hormone balance and regain vitality. If you’re tired of feeling “off” and want to feel like yourself again, you’re in the right place.
What Is Testosterone Therapy?
Testosterone therapy is a treatment that restores optimal levels of testosterone—a hormone crucial for male health and performance. As men age, testosterone levels gradually decline. For some, this drop is significant enough to affect quality of life. Testosterone therapy replenishes what the body no longer produces at youthful levels, helping men regain strength, mental clarity, and physical performance.
At Northern California Wellness, testosterone therapy is never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Cheree Dunbar, a leader in men’s hormone health, uses advanced lab testing to evaluate your full hormone profile. From there, she creates a personalized treatment plan using bioidentical hormones designed to match your body’s natural chemistry.
Signs You Might Have Low Testosterone
Low testosterone, or hypogonadism, often goes undiagnosed. Many men chalk it up to aging or stress. But when symptoms start affecting your day-to-day life, it’s time to look deeper.
Common signs include:
- Persistent fatigue—even after a full night’s sleep
- Reduced muscle mass or increased belly fat
- Low sex drive or erectile dysfunction
- Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability
- Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
- Decreased motivation or confidence
If any of these sound familiar, a simple blood test could uncover the root cause.
How Does Testosterone Therapy Work?
Dr. Dunbar offers several delivery options depending on your lifestyle and health goals. These may include:
- Testosterone injections: Often administered weekly or biweekly for consistent hormone levels.
- Topical gels or creams: Applied daily for steady absorption through the skin.
- Pellet therapy: Tiny hormone pellets inserted under the skin release testosterone gradually over several months.
You’ll work closely with our team throughout your treatment to ensure optimal dosing and symptom relief. Regular monitoring helps maintain balance while minimizing side effects.
What Are the Benefits of Testosterone Therapy?
When guided by a trained hormone optimization specialist, testosterone therapy offers more than just physical improvement—it can restore your mental sharpness and overall well-being.
Men often report:
- Increased energy and stamina
- Better sleep and improved recovery
- Enhanced libido and sexual performance
- Stronger bones and lean muscle
- Sharper focus and clearer thinking
- Improved mood and emotional stability
The goal isn’t to look like you’re in your twenties—it’s to help you feel healthy, focused, and resilient at every stage of life.

Is Testosterone Therapy Right for You?
Not every man with fatigue or weight gain needs hormone therapy. That’s why we start with a thorough consultation and bloodwork. We look beyond just testosterone to assess full-body function—thyroid, cortisol, nutrient levels, and more.
Testosterone therapy may be appropriate if:
- You have confirmed low levels on a lab test
- You’re experiencing multiple symptoms affecting daily life
- Lifestyle interventions alone haven’t brought results
When it comes to optimizing men’s health, restoring testosterone is only part of the solution. At Northern California Wellness, we combine hormone support with lifestyle, nutrition, and advanced wellness services for full-spectrum care.
Supporting Therapies That Pair Well with Testosterone Therapy
For even better results, some men benefit from combining testosterone therapy with other wellness treatments:
- IV vitamin therapy to replenish energy and immunity
- InBody body composition analysis to track fat loss and muscle gain
- Peptide therapy to support recovery, metabolism, and libido
- Nutrient testing and optimization to ensure your cells have what they need to thrive
