Hormone Replacement Therapy Doctor Christopher Pick

How many male patients do you estimate that you have treated with testosterone therapy?

I would estimate that it is in excess of 200 over the years. It may or may not surprise you to know that I have also treated females who had shown via test procedures, a lack of testosterone.

What are your preferred delivery methods for prescription testosterone?

I very rarely resort to this method as over the longer term it shuts down the body’s own production of testosterone. When I have prescribed it – I have used a cream that is rubbed directly on the scrotum.

Doctors sometimes develop different areas of expertise. Do you feel that HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is one of these areas for you and your office?

Yes, in both males & females.

Do you know the foods and drinks that increase erection-boosting Nitric Oxide? Check out the Peak Erectile Strength Diet where I show you how to dramatically and naturally improve your erectile strength.

What do you monitor on a routine basis when a man goes on HRT?

A full hormone profile is undertaken on a two to three month basis. It is always my intention to address the nutritional (in most cases) issues that cause hormonal imbalance. My intention is to use HRT as a short term measure while the body readjusts the mechanisms for its own hormone production.

How do you handle men who clearly could benefit from HRT but do not have insurance? What options are available through your office?

Erectile problems that are covered by insurance plans in the U.K. are extremely limited. However, the state will offer prescriptions for drugs such as Viagra.

How do you monitor prostate issues and screening for men on HRT?

I undertake an initial PSA screen & symptom analysis & I then always refer the patient to his doctor. I do like to follow that up with a consultation regarding the doctor’s results / advice.

How does your office go beyond simple subscribing of PDE5 Inhibitor for Erectile Dysfunction? Do you have any other treatment strategies for men who are experiencing a loss of erectile strength?

I always look at the nutritional issues that are, in most cases, at the root of the problem. I utilise my findings to address the issues together with natural proven supplementation for problems such as a lack of nitric oxide, low testosterone, etc. I always test for these levels prior to treatment.

Are there aspects of your practice or treatment strategies that you’d like to share that feel may make your practice "stand out from the crowd?"

That is a difficult question as so many healthcare practitioners have such differing strategies. Having said that, my aim is to restore the health an individual so that he may realise his genetic potential for great health & a long life. At a basic level the body is an immensely complicated manufacturing unit. In all my years of the study of it I am still in awe of what it has to accomplish to sustain life. The map of the metabolic pathways alone is absolutely mind boggling!

As an analogy, if you supply rubbish parts to manufacture say an automobile, you will get a rubbish vehicle that falls apart & dies prematurely. The body is no different – rubbish in equals rubbish out.

In the majority of cases erectile dysfunction is symptomatic of problems elsewhere, the latest research shows that healthcare professionals should always investigate cardiovascular disease if a patient presents with ED.

To reiterate, in my view it is vitally important to treat the ‘whole being’ rather that the symptoms of any particular issue.

Can you give a brief description of your medical certifications and licensing?
