SYMPTOMS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM – THE SEARCH FOR THE ROOT CAUSE OF HORMONE IMBALANCE
What is the truth about how the endocrine system works and functions when it comes to the negative side effects of a hormone imbalance?
At MultiGen Wellness, we require all new patients to take a “Total Body Insight” blood test that evaluates the entire endocrine system—from B12 to cortisol. We practice old-school endocrinology, based on science and thorough blood analysis.
I’m Joshua G. Crampton, and I founded MultiGen Wellness Hormone Therapy in 2020. For years, I personally answered the phones and conducted all the initial consultations. After handling thousands of calls and providing thousands of consults, I’ve learned the core questions every new patient asks.
The most significant aspect of every health consultation is educating patients about how the endocrine system functions. For example, a man might call and say he feels lethargic and believes he has low testosterone. While his testosterone could indeed be low, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the root cause of his symptoms. In fact, lethargy is not a common side effect of low testosterone—it’s often the first sign of an imbalanced thyroid gland.
Many patients initially object to paying for the comprehensive hormone test, especially after visiting other clinics that don’t require these tests upfront. The most common refrain I hear from men is: “I ONLY CARE ABOUT MY TESTOSTERONE! I ONLY WANT TO TEST MY TESTOSTERONE.” Believe it or not, I’ve heard this thousands of times.
I can often tell within 30 seconds of speaking to a new patient if they’ve been to one of those “pump-and-dump” testosterone depots. These places will inject you with testosterone for $25, leaving men to think it’s a fix-all solution. But testosterone isn’t the biggest concern when it comes to proper endocrinology.
It’s crucial to understand the root causes of symptoms—specifically, which hormones are imbalanced and causing the issues. Assuming low testosterone is the culprit behind every symptom is both false and ignorant. Men who refuse to pay for or undergo our “Total Body Insight” blood panel often aren’t a good fit for us. If they insist on skipping this crucial step, we simply end the call and ask them not to contact us again.
The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of evaluating the entire endocrine system. Anything less is malpractice. Always check the legal records of any testosterone therapy clinic before signing up. Many of these clinics operate in a shady, litigious manner, with lawsuits piling up against them. They hire high-powered lawyers to intimidate victims into hasty settlements, silencing those who speak out.
I speak from experience. I once sued Synergenex of San Antonio for this very issue. They put me in the hospital by recklessly raising my testosterone levels to over 1,300 after I kept reporting that my symptoms weren’t improving. They kept injecting me with testosterone without properly assessing my entire endocrine system. Since they didn’t understand what was happening in my body, they nearly killed me. I sued, we settled, and I opened MultiGen Wellness with a mission to genuinely help men—not to run a get-rich-quick scheme that preys on uneducated men who can’t distinguish ethical treatment from malpractice.
