Built Around Your Biology
Comprehensive Testosterone Testing in Maine
Most conventional doctors check total testosterone and compare it to a broad reference range. If you fall anywhere within that range, you are told you are fine. The problem is that the reference range is enormous, and a level that is technically in range can still leave you feeling terrible.
At Med Matrix, we test total and free testosterone, plus the markers that interact with testosterone: estrogen, thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and more. Your provider reviews everything with you in a full-hour consultation and explains what is driving your symptoms before recommending any treatment.
Clinical Standards
Where Your Providers Train
Functional medicine isn't taught in medical school. Our providers invest years of additional training with the institutions that built this field.
Institute for Functional Medicine(IFM)
The academic home of functional medicine. IFMCP certification requires advanced training in hormonal, immune, gastrointestinal, and neuroendocrine systems. Multiple Med Matrix providers hold this credential.
Your provider sees how your hormones, gut, immune system, and metabolism connect, not just isolated symptoms.
Seeds Scientific Research & Performance(SSRP)
Clinical training in hormone dosing, advanced lab interpretation, and peptide protocols. Where textbook medicine gets translated into treatment plans that show measurable change inside 90 days.
Your protocol is built on real clinical training, not a one-size-fits-all template.
American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine(A4M)
The largest training body for age-management and longevity medicine. Fellowship and board certification cover hormone replacement, peptide therapy, metabolic medicine, and regenerative therapies.
Your care team trains with the organization that sets the clinical standard for longevity medicine.

Your Hormones Over Time
What Happens to a Man’s Testosterone as He Ages
Total testosterone, free testosterone, and DHEA all start declining in your 30s. Most men have been losing ground for years before the symptoms get obvious enough to act on.
Illustrative pattern of natural hormone change across a man's lifespan. Individual labs vary.
We use bioidentical testosterone. That means the molecular structure matches what your body already makes, so your cells recognize and use it the way they were built to. Synthetic alternatives behave differently. Your body knows the difference.
Most protocols involve testosterone combined with monitoring of estradiol, SHBG, hematocrit, and PSA. Free testosterone matters more than total, and most conventional providers never test it. Low free T drives the drop in energy, drive, recovery, and body composition that most men assume is just part of getting older.
Our practice guide covers exactly how we approach men’s TRT, including delivery options, lab monitoring, and what to expect in the first 90 days. Get your free copy.
When We Go Deeper
Advanced Testing for Men's Hormone Health
When your standard panel points to something that needs further investigation, we have the tools to go deeper. These advanced tests are not part of every patient's protocol. They are available when your provider needs more information to build the right plan.
DUTCH Complete
What it measures: Dried urine panel of every sex hormone metabolite plus cortisol rhythm.
Why we use it: Serum hormones are a snapshot. DUTCH shows the full metabolic picture over a day, including how you process hormones and whether your stress system is burning out.
Cardiovascular & Longevity Markers
What it measures: Advanced cardiac panel with Apo-B, Lp(a), and oxidized LDL.
Why we use it: Standard lipid panels miss the markers that actually predict cardiac events. This panel catches risk years earlier.
Genetic & Methylation Analysis
What it measures: SNPs affecting methylation, detox capacity, hormone metabolism, and nutrient needs.
Why we use it: Your genes tell us which interventions will work for your biology and which ones won't. MTHFR, COMT, VDR, and others change how you should be supplemented.
Neurotransmitter Panel
What it measures: Urinary markers for serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and their precursors.
Why we use it: Before trying another approach, we see whether the raw material is actually there. Low precursors explain a lot of mood and focus issues.

FAQ
Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Bridgton
Common questions about testosterone replacement therapy near Bridgton, Maine.
Med Matrix is in South Portland, about 50 minutes southeast of Bridgton via Route 302 and the Maine Turnpike.
Full onboarding is approximately $1,200 to $1,500. New patients receive a $100 voucher toward their first visit. Ongoing TRT is $70 to $200 per month. We accept HSA, FSA, CareCredit, and all major cards.
Yes. Many TRT patients also work with their providers on thyroid optimization, metabolic health, peptide therapy, or weight management. Our providers look at the full picture and build a plan that addresses all of your health needs.
Plan for about 90 minutes. This covers the blood draw, InBody body composition scan, and a one-hour consultation with your provider.
Dosing depends on your labs, not a standard amount. 1 ml of testosterone cypionate (typically 200 mg/ml) is a common starting dose, but your provider adjusts based on your total and free testosterone levels, estrogen response, and symptoms. At Med Matrix, we check your labs after starting treatment and fine-tune your dose from there.
Testosterone itself does not cause hair loss. DHT, a hormone your body converts testosterone into, can accelerate thinning in men who are genetically predisposed. Your provider at Med Matrix monitors DHT levels as part of your lab panel and can adjust your protocol or add supportive treatments if hair thinning becomes a concern.
Subcutaneous (under the skin) testosterone injections are actually a valid and increasingly common method. If an intramuscular injection lands in subcutaneous tissue, the testosterone still absorbs, just at a slightly different rate. Your provider will show you proper injection technique during your visit and can recommend the delivery method that works best for you.
Yes. TRT is not a lifelong requirement for every patient. If you stop, your testosterone levels will return to where they were before treatment over several weeks. Your provider may recommend a tapering protocol or alternatives like enclomiphene to support natural production during the transition. The decision to continue or stop is always based on your labs and how you feel.
