SDBody, formerly Hormones and Wellness, runs a free-standing clinic at 7710 Fay Ave in the heart of La Jolla village, minutes from the coast. Testosterone replacement therapy here starts with bloodwork and a real conversation with a clinician, and it moves forward only if the labs and the symptoms line up.
Testosterone Therapy That Starts With Testing, Not a Sales Pitch
Low testosterone is a clinical diagnosis. It is confirmed with blood testing, usually more than one draw, and it is interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Published endocrine practice guidance is clear that testosterone therapy should follow consistent low readings plus matching symptoms, not one number in isolation.
That is how it works at our La Jolla clinic. We draw a panel on site, a clinician reviews the results in context, and you get a straight explanation of what the numbers mean before anyone talks about a prescription. If your labs point somewhere else—thyroid, sleep, metabolic health, or stress—you hear that too. Plenty of men who come in convinced they need testosterone leave with a different and better plan.
Symptoms Men Bring To Our La Jolla Clinic
Patients usually describe some mix of the following:
- Energy that runs out mid-afternoon no matter how they sleep
- Lower sex drive, or changes in erections and performance
- Strength and muscle that will not respond to training the way they used to
- Body fat gathering around the midsection despite steady effort
- Mood that feels flat, irritable, or unusually short-fused
- Brain fog, slower recall, or trouble holding focus through a workday
- Poor sleep quality and slow recovery from hard training
These can point to low testosterone. They can also point to several other things. That is exactly why we test first. If you want to read more about the pattern before you book, see our pages on low energy and fatigue and strength and performance.
What Happens At Your First La Jolla Visit
Our published pathway has four steps, and we follow it every time.
- Intake. You tell us your goals and what feels off, with enough time to actually talk it through.
- Lab draw. You choose a panel, and our medical staff walks you through the options in the clinic so you understand what each one covers. We offer three panels: Hormone, Core, and Advanced.
- Consultation. A clinician reviews your results against your symptoms, history, and medications.
- Next steps. If therapy is appropriate, the clinician explains the plan, the alternatives, the risks, and the monitoring schedule before anything begins.
No seven-minute visit, and no plan that starts before the results are back. You can see the full pathway on our how-it-works page.
Monitoring Is Part Of The Treatment
Testosterone therapy is a prescription therapy with real effects and real risks, and FDA labeling for testosterone products reflects that. Men on treatment need periodic rechecks of hormone levels, red blood cell counts, and other markers, along with symptom review, so the plan can be adjusted or stopped if it is not serving you. Follow-up bloodwork is built into care here rather than sold as an upgrade later.
Why Men Choose SDBody La Jolla
Most testosterone clinics in San Diego are one of two things. Either a national franchise running a location page with no local clinicians named on it, or a small storefront with no diagnostic depth behind it. We are neither.
- Physician-led. SDBody was co-founded by Dr. Shawn Vedamani, MD, Medical Director, and a board-certified anesthesiologist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, and Dr. Alex Roher, MD, also a board-certified anesthesiologist. Brooke Stearns, PA-C, our Lead Medical Provider, works in hormone optimization, weight management, and longevity medicine. Meet the full team on our providers page.
- Labs in the building. Your panel is drawn at the La Jolla clinic and reviewed by the clinician who is going to treat you.
- More than a prescription. Recovery and performance services sit under the same roof, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, PEMF therapy and infrared sauna and cold plunge. Recovery studios cannot order labs. Testosterone clinics do not run recovery. We do both.
- Straight answers. You will be told what the evidence supports, what it does not, and what depends on you.
