What Is TRT and Who Is It For?
Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) restores testosterone to normal physiological levels in men with clinically low testosterone — a condition known as hypogonadism (ICD-10: E29.1). Symptoms include persistent fatigue, reduced libido, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, brain fog, and mood changes. Diagnosis requires bloodwork confirming low total testosterone (typically below 300 ng/dL or 10.4 nmol/L) alongside clinical symptoms.
In BC, TRT is available through the public healthcare system (via GP referral to endocrinology) or through private longevity and men's health clinics. The public route is MSP-covered but typically involves 6–18 month specialist wait times. Private clinics offer physician-supervised TRT with same-week or same-month starts, no referral required, and transparent pricing.

How to Start TRT in Vancouver
Get baseline bloodwork
Most clinics require (or will order) a hormone panel before your first consultation: total testosterone, free testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, estradiol, PSA, and CBC. Some clinics include this in the consultation fee; others require you to obtain it via your GP or a private lab.
Book an initial consultation
No referral is required at any of the clinics listed above. Book directly via their website or phone. The initial consultation (typically 45–60 minutes) reviews your bloodwork, symptoms, health history, and goals. Expect to pay $150–$350.
Receive your prescription and protocol
If TRT is clinically appropriate, your physician or naturopathic doctor will prescribe a protocol — typically weekly testosterone cypionate injections, topical gel, or pellets. You'll receive instructions for self-administration (for injections) or a clinic schedule.
Ongoing monitoring
TRT requires regular bloodwork (typically every 3–6 months) to monitor testosterone levels, hematocrit, PSA, and estradiol. Most private clinics include monitoring in their monthly program fee or charge a separate monitoring fee. Do not start TRT without committing to ongoing monitoring.
