Testosterone is one of the most important hormones in a man’s body, but it doesn’t stay stable forever.

As men get older, testosterone levels naturally begin to decline. This drop can trigger a cascade of symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, muscle loss, low libido, mood changes, and difficulty focusing. These changes are common, but they’re often dismissed or misdiagnosed, leaving many men feeling off without knowing why.

Male Excel’s comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) system is built on The Excel Advantage™. This proven approach combines daily testosterone and thyroid dosing, using subcutaneous injections, topical creams or gels for testosterone, and oral capsules for thyroid deficiency. This method helps maintain stable hormone levels, supports long-term health, and reduces the risk of age-related diseases linked to hormonal decline.

Embracing the Daily Dosing Concept

Male Excel’s medical team recommends daily testosterone dosing over the more traditional once-weekly injections. While many clinics rely on larger, infrequent doses, this approach is built for consistency and precision.

Administering controlled daily doses of testosterone and thyroid hormone helps maintain more stable hormone levels, avoiding the sharp peaks and crashes that often come with weekly injections. It also better reflects the body’s natural hormone production patterns, supporting a more balanced and sustained response. This method has been shown to more effectively alleviate symptoms like low libido, reduced muscle mass, erectile dysfunction, weight gain, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.

Easier Entry As Well

For many men, the idea of using large needles for testosterone injections can be a major barrier to starting treatment. Male Excel eliminates that concern by using a more comfortable, minimally invasive method.

Testosterone is administered subcutaneously using short, ultra-fine 0.5-inch needles, similar to those used by people with diabetes. These injections go just beneath the skin into the fat layer, significantly reducing the risk of nerve or muscle damage. With proper guidance, members can self-administer their injections at home or with help from a partner, avoiding clinic visits and making treatment easy to maintain.

And if you’re not comfortable with needles, there’s another option. Male Excel also offers twice-daily testosterone creams or gels, which can be just as effective as injections and, for many men, deliver even better symptom relief. The goal is simple: consistent, convenient treatment that fits your lifestyle and delivers life-changing results.

Simpler Administration Is Not the Only Perk

What sets Male Excel apart isn’t just the ease of treatment. It’s the medical expertise and structure behind it. Every member begins with our proprietary symptom assessment, designed to identify key hormone imbalances with precision. This is followed by a thorough lab review and an online video consultation with a leading hormone expert to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual’s hormone levels, symptoms, and goals.

The support doesn’t stop there. Members receive a 60-day follow-up to review symptoms, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure the treatment is delivering results. At six months, a second round of lab work provides deeper insight, allowing our providers to fine-tune therapy for long-term success.

Throughout the process, members have direct access to Male Excel’s team of hormone specialists with years of experience in optimizing testosterone and thyroid health. This level of ongoing care and personalisation helps members achieve consistent results and lasting improvements in energy, strength, mental clarity, and sexual health.

Balancing Hormones for Better Health

Craig Larsen and Leif Wombwell founded Male Excel after recognizing a critical gap in men’s healthcare. Too often, men struggling with hormone imbalance were dismissed, misdiagnosed, or given outdated treatment protocols. Their mission was to create a telemedicine platform that made expert-led hormone therapy more accessible, more personalized, and more effective.

Under the guidance of Dr. Peter Fotinos, Male Excel’s Medical Director, the company has built a modern approach to hormone optimization rooted in clinical research and real-world results. This includes a key distinction in how Male Excel handles estrogen—an area where many clinics go wrong.

Many clinics routinely prescribe estrogen blockers alongside testosterone, assuming that lowering estrogen is necessary. Estrogen is not the enemy. It plays a vital role in men’s health and is essential for proper hormonal function.

Estrogen supports testosterone regulation in men primarily through aromatization, the natural process of converting testosterone into estradiol. This hormonal balance is crucial for maintaining sexual function, mood stability, bone strength, and cardiovascular health. Disrupting that balance by blocking estrogen can lead to serious side effects, including joint pain, fatigue, irritability, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido.

“At Male Excel, we don’t suppress estrogen — we balance it,” says Dr. Fotinos. “By monitoring all key hormones and treating the entire system, we help men achieve optimal results without compromising their health.”
