Androgen Deficiency in the Ageing Male (ADAM), commonly known as late-onset hypogonadism or low testosterone, is a decline in testosterone levels that occurs with age. ADAM can significantly impact a man’s quality of life, leading to debilitating symptoms such as severe fatigue, reduced libido and sexual function, mood changes, muscle loss, and metabolic decline. Our specialist service is dedicated to accurately diagnosing this deficiency and restoring levels for optimal long-term health and wellbeing.
Our specialists focus on comprehensive diagnostics and evidence-based Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), ensuring that therapy is precisely tailored and safely monitored.
Comprehensive hormonal profiling (Total & Free Testosterone, SHBG, LH/FSH), metabolic panels, and symptom assessment.
Prescription and monitoring of testosterone via injections, gels, patches, or implants, chosen based on patient preference and clinical profile.
Co-ordination with metabolic health specialists (like Professor Boyages) to address concurrent issues like ADAM-related weight gain and insulin resistance.
Strict protocols for regular blood monitoring to manage safety risks (e.g., polycythaemia) and ensure therapeutic levels are maintained.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) requires precision and expert monitoring to maximise benefits and minimise risks. The Kalix approach is defined by its evidence-based, integrated oversight.
We move beyond a single blood test. Our specialists perform detailed hormonal and metabolic profiling to identify if symptoms are truly due to ADAM or another underlying cause (e.g., thyroid issues, sleep apnoea).
Therapy is initiated only when clinically justified. We operate under strict safety protocols, with regular monitoring of blood viscosity and prostate health, ensuring the treatment supports long-term health and longevity.
TRT is managed as part of a larger picture of Metabolic Health, ensuring improved energy, mood, sexual function, and cardiometabolic health, reinforcing our philosophy of comprehensive care.
Kalix works with a network of trusted specialists across surgery, medicine, and allied health. Every clinician within the Kalix ecosystem is selected for their depth of expertise in their field.
While testosterone levels decline with age, ADAM is a medical condition that requires treatment when it causes significant symptoms or negatively impacts health. Our specialists help differentiate normal ageing from clinical deficiency.
When managed by an expert specialist, TRT is safe. The key is the regular, expert monitoring and dose adjustments provided by our Kalix team to manage potential side effects and ensure therapeutic efficacy.
TRT can significantly improve libido and overall energy. However, if erectile dysfunction persists, our specialists co-ordinate seamlessly with our Urologists (like Dr. Ross Calopedos) for advanced functional assessment.
Start with your concern. Kalix will guide the rest.
