Fatigue, low libido, brain fog, and trouble building muscle are classic signs of low testosterone — but most men don't connect the dots. Learn the 12 warning signs of low T and how Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas can help.

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone — responsible for muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, energy levels, mood, and much more. After age 30, testosterone levels naturally decline. For some men, this decline is faster and more dramatic, leading to a condition called hypogonadism, or clinically low testosterone.
At Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas, we help men understand and address low testosterone through comprehensive testing, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing physician oversight.
Normal total testosterone levels typically range from 300 to 1,000 ng/dL, though optimal levels for most men fall in the mid-to-upper range of this spectrum. Levels in the clinical low range are generally considered to warrant evaluation, though symptoms can occur at higher levels depending on the individual.
The important thing to understand is that symptoms matter as much as numbers. A man who feels great may not need treatment even if his number is on the lower end. A man struggling with fatigue, low libido, and depression at the same level may benefit significantly from hormonal optimization.
Unexplained exhaustion that doesn't improve with adequate sleep is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of low T. If you're sleeping 7–8 hours and still dragging through the day, your hormones may be to blame.
A significant decrease in libido — not just an occasional dip, but a sustained loss of interest in sex — is a hallmark symptom of low testosterone.
While ED has multiple potential causes, testosterone plays a role in erectile function. Low T is frequently a contributing factor. Our erectile dysfunction treatment program evaluates testosterone as part of a comprehensive workup.
Testosterone is the primary driver of muscle protein synthesis. Men with low T often notice it's harder to build or maintain muscle — even when working out consistently.
Low testosterone is associated with increased fat storage, particularly around the belly. This isn't just cosmetic — visceral fat is linked to cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome.
Testosterone significantly impacts mood regulation. Low T can manifest as irritability, depression, anxiety, low motivation, and a general sense of emotional flatness that many men struggle to explain.
Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, and trouble thinking clearly are frequently reported by men with low testosterone. Many patients describe feeling like they're not as sharp as they used to be.
Low T is associated with disrupted sleep, including insomnia and reduced sleep quality. Poor sleep further depresses testosterone — creating a cycle that's hard to break without addressing the underlying hormonal issue.
Testosterone plays a critical role in bone health. Men with prolonged low T face increased risk of osteoporosis — a concern often overlooked until a problem occurs.
Testosterone drives hair growth patterns in men. A noticeable reduction in body or facial hair can indicate declining hormone levels.
Low testosterone or pituitary dysfunction can cause changes in testicular size or texture. This is a symptom many men are reluctant to mention but is clinically significant.
While often associated with women, men with dramatically low testosterone can experience hot flashes — sudden feelings of warmth, flushing, and sweating.
Low testosterone can result from multiple causes, including natural aging, obesity and metabolic syndrome, chronic stress and elevated cortisol, sleep apnea, certain medications including opioids and steroids, pituitary or hypothalamic disorders, testicular injury or infection, and type 2 diabetes. Identifying the underlying cause matters because it influences the right treatment approach.
If you're experiencing 3 or more of the symptoms listed above — especially fatigue, low libido, mood changes, and difficulty building muscle — it's worth getting your testosterone levels tested.
At Modern Wellness Clinic, we offer comprehensive hormone panels that go beyond a single total testosterone reading. We evaluate total and free testosterone, SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), LH and FSH (pituitary hormones), estradiol, thyroid function, and a complete metabolic panel. This complete picture allows us to create a treatment plan that actually addresses your situation — not just a number on a lab report.
If testing confirms low testosterone, our low testosterone treatment program offers multiple evidence-based options tailored to your lifestyle and health history.
TRT can be administered via injections, topical gels, or other methods depending on your lifestyle and preferences. Our physicians will determine the right protocol for your specific situation and goals.
For men with mild to moderate low T, targeted lifestyle changes — sleep optimization, stress management, exercise programming, and nutritional adjustments — can meaningfully improve hormone levels and symptom burden.
Certain peptides can support natural testosterone production by working through the pituitary axis. This may be preferred for men who are concerned about maintaining fertility.
Traditional TRT can affect natural testosterone production and sperm count. If you're planning to have children, this is an important conversation to have with your physician before starting any treatment. There are fertility-preserving approaches available that we can discuss during your consultation.
