Low testosterone (commonly referred to as “low T”) is one of the most common concerns we hear from men in our primary care clinic. Fatigue, low libido, weight gain, and mood changes can all be signs of low testosterone — but they can also be symptoms of many other underlying conditions. That’s why it’s so important to get evaluated by a trusted primary care provider.
At Complete Health Partners, our primary care team takes a comprehensive approach to men’s health. We’re excited to introduce Ben Bueno, PA-C, our men’s health expert, who is passionate about helping men optimize their wellness, energy, and overall quality of life.
What Is Testosterone and Why Does It Matter?
Testosterone is a hormone that plays a critical role in a man’s physical and mental health. It’s responsible for:
- Building muscle mass
- Maintaining bone density
- Supporting libido and sexual function
- Regulating mood and energy levels
- Supporting the production of red blood cells
As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline — but for some, they drop too low and lead to a condition known as hypogonadism, or low testosterone.
Signs and Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone can present in different ways. Common symptoms include:
- Low sex drive
- Erectile dysfunction
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Weight gain, especially in the belly area
- Loss of muscle mass
- Depression or mood swings
- Trouble concentrating or brain fog
- Decreased motivation
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to talk to a provider. Low T can affect more than just your libido — it can impact your overall health and quality of life.

How We Diagnose and Treat Low Testosterone
At Complete Health Partners, we start with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. If low T is suspected, we’ll order lab testing to measure your testosterone levels — typically done in the morning when levels are highest.
If your labs confirm low testosterone, we’ll discuss treatment options. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be recommended, but it’s not right for everyone. That’s why working with an experienced provider like Ben Bueno is so important. He’ll help you understand the risks, benefits, and alternatives to make the best decision for your health.
