At BIOV8, we provide a clinical, evidence-based approach to men’s hormone health, focusing on the assessment and management of low testosterone–related symptoms.
UNDERSTANDING MALE HORMONE HEALTH
Testosterone and other hormones play essential roles in physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Fluctuations can occur naturally with age, stress, illness, or lifestyle factors. Understanding your hormone levels through qualified testing can help your doctor identify potential imbalances and guide appropriate next steps.
Sexual Function and Libido
Testosterone plays an important role in supporting sexual function and libido. Research indicates that balanced testosterone levels are associated with improved sexual wellbeing in men.
Mood and Cognitive Function
Testosterone plays a role in mental health, with deficiencies linked to mood disorders. Research indicates that hormone therapy may alleviate symptoms of depression, particularly in men with hypogonadism.
Bone Density and Muscle Mass
Adequate testosterone levels are crucial for musculoskeletal health. Hormone therapy has been associated with increased bone mineral density and muscle mass, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and sarcopenia.
Metabolic Health
Testosterone influences body composition and metabolism. Studies have shown that hormone therapy can lead to reductions in fat mass and improvements in insulin sensitivity, potentially aiding in the management of type 2 diabetes.

Frequently asked questions
We know managing your health can feel complex, so we’ve answered a few of the most common questions.
Is hormone therapy right for You?
Hormone therapy is not suitable for everyone. At BIOV8, treatment is only prescribed after proper diagnosis and consideration of your individual circumstances. All therapies are prescribed by AHPRA-registered doctors in line with TGA regulations.
What is hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is a treatment prescribed to men who have clinically diagnosed low testosterone levels (also known as hypogonadism). It aims to restore testosterone to normal levels to support physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. ormone therapy is only offered following proper diagnosis and medical assessment.
What are the symptoms of low testosterone?
Some men with low testosterone may experience:
- Fatigue or reduced energy
- Decreased libido or sexual performance
- Difficulty with focus or memory
- Mood changes such as irritability or low motivation
- Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
These symptoms can have multiple causes, so it’s important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation.
How is low testosterone diagnosed?
Low testosterone is diagnosed through a combination of symptom assessment and pathology testing (blood tests). Blood is usually taken in the morning to ensure accurate hormone level readings.
Do I need a referral?
You can book directly with a BIOV8 doctor; however, you may choose to involve your GP for continuity of care.
Is hormone therapy safe?
All medical treatments carry potential risks and benefits. Your doctor will explain these and decide whether therapy is appropriate for you. Ongoing monitoring is mandatory for anyone prescribed hormone-related medicines.
Can I get hormone therapy without testing?
No. Hormone therapy is only prescribed after a confirmed diagnosis of testosterone deficiency through clinical evaluation and blood tests. This ensures treatment is safe, legal, and medically appropriate.
Can I stop treatment at any time?
Yes, but it’s important to discuss this with your doctor. Stopping hormone therapy suddenly without medical supervision may lead to unwanted side effects. Your doctor will help you transition safely if needed.
