MULTIGEN WELLNESS HEALTH ARTICLE #35 – HOW LONG UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER ON HRT OR TRT?

“I’m thinking about starting Hormone Therapy. How long until I start feeling better?!”

In a world that expects instant results, healthcare has struggled to keep pace with society’s demand for a quick fix. But in the case of Hormone Therapy—or TRT—we often see rapid improvements, sometimes surprisingly fast, in both men and women.

The beauty of hormone therapy is its simplicity: we’re adjusting hormone levels, and that can sometimes be done quickly and effectively.

I’m Joshua G. Crampton, founder of MultiGen Wellness Online Hormone Therapy. I launched MultiGen after my own experience as a patient at a local San Antonio clinic that focused only on testosterone. They ignored the rest of my endocrine system, and the result was a hospital stay and a lawsuit for malpractice.

Out of that experience came a mission: to provide total-body hormone care for men and women—real healthcare, not “Profit-First Healthcare.” At MultiGen, we practice Patient-First Healthcare. We start with a Total Body Insights Blood Test, followed by a Coaching Call to break down your results and walk you through options.

One of the most common questions we get is:

“How long until I feel better?”

And honestly, I tell patients: you’ll start feeling better the moment we do your Coaching Call. When you see, with hard science, why you’ve been feeling off, you gain clarity. And clarity is power. Clarity gives you hope—and hope changes everything.

How Fast Can You Feel Results?

In some cases, patients feel a difference within minutes. Our pharmacy ships powerful treatments like ED medications that take effect in as little as 15–30 minutes.

In terms of hormone therapy, men and women with low testosterone may start noticing changes within 2–3 days of their first injection or treatment. That’s because testosterone typically begins working within 24–48 hours after entering the bloodstream.

Scientific Effectiveness Timelines – Men

• Testosterone (Cypionate/Enanthate): Begins working in 24–48 hours; mood, energy, and libido may improve within 3–7 days. Full effects often build over 4–6 weeks.

• Anastrozole (Estrogen Blocker): Begins lowering estrogen within 2–4 days; mood and water retention may improve quickly.

• Hematocrit Reduction: Through blood donation, patients can feel relief immediately—often while still in the donation chair.

Scientific Effectiveness Timelines – Women

• Testosterone (Low-Dose for Women): Energy, mood, and libido often begin improving within 3–7 days; full hormonal balance can take several weeks.

• Progesterone (Sublingual or Capsule): Often helps with sleep and anxiety within a few days of consistent use.

• Estrogen Therapy: Can take 1–2 weeks for noticeable effects; optimal balance achieved over several months, monitored through labs.

If a man comes in with high estrogen (say, in the 50s), we’ll often prescribe Anastrozole at 1mg daily for 4–5 days, then taper to 2mg/week. Patients often feel the difference within days.

If a patient has elevated hematocrit levels in the 50s, we may send them for blood donation. Each donation can drop hematocrit 3–4 points—and the patient often feels better immediately.

Why This Works

By running full endocrine labs on every new patient, then targeting each imbalance against clinical benchmarks, we can correct problems quickly. We’re not guessing. We’re using science to tune the system fast.
