Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): My Journey with Dr. Sohere Roked
Turning 40 hit me harder than I thought it would. I wasn’t just dealing with the usual signs of ageing—feeling more tired, less motivated and my body changing in ways I didn’t like—I was also feeling a general lethargy that no amount of sleep or coffee could fix. I was stuck. It wasn’t just physical tiredness; mentally I was in a fog and I knew something was off.
A friend of mine, who had been raving about the care he received from , encouraged me to make an appointment. He’d been seeing her for and had seen dramatic improvements in his energy, mood, and overall quality of life.I’d also recently read her book The Tiredness Cure and it really spoke to me. I knew I needed professional help to get my health back on track.
A Holistic Approach to Wellbeing
From the moment I walked into Omniya Clinic I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Roked’s approach is so holistic. She doesn’t just address symptoms in isolation, she gets to the root of the problem and blends medical expertise with lifestyle advice to create a plan for each individual. During our first appointment she asked me about my diet, exercise habits, stress levels and sleep patterns. It wasn’t about quick fixes, it was about creating a long term solution for my health.
Blood tests followed. These several issues: my testosterone was low, my vitamin D was and my hormonal balance was out of whack. Dr. Roked told me that these were likely the cause of my fatigue, lack of motivation and the weight gain I’d been experiencing over the past few years.
Her plan for me included , DHEA supplementation, and high-strength vitamin D. This combination, alongside a focus on regular exercise and a balanced diet, would be the foundation of my journey back to feeling like myself again.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy Explained
Testosterone is key to a man’s overall health. It affects energy, mood, muscle mass, libido and cognitive function. As men age, testosterone levels decline but for some this decline is enough to cause symptoms – what’s often to as low testosterone or “Low T”.
Dr. Roked told me that could help restore these levels, improve energy, focus and even emotional wellbeing. We discussed the different ways to administer TRT – injections, capsules, lozenges, creams and gels. I chose the bioidentical testosterone cream that I apply daily. It’s easy to use, a steady dose of testosterone and has side effects.
One of the things I liked most was her emphasis on safety. She told me that because testosterone is a natural hormone, using TRT under medical supervision doesn’t introduce anything foreign to the body. Instead it just restores what my body wasn’t producing enough of.
The Role of DHEA and Vitamin D
In addition to testosterone, Dr. Roked recommended DHEA, a pro-hormone that supports the production of other essential hormones like testosterone and oestrogen. DHEA isn’t widely available in the UK but it’s a common treatment in US based hormonal health clinics. Its role in energy, mood and hormonal made it a natural fit for my treatment plan.
Vitamin D was another key part of the plan. Like many people in the UK my vitamin D levels were low – a common problem due to our lack of sunlight. Research shows that vitamin D is linked to low testosterone, fatigue and weakened immune function. Taking high strength vitamin D has been a game changer for my energy and overall health.
The Transformation
The changes I’ve experienced since starting have been nothing short of life-changing. Within weeks, my energy levels improved dramatically. I felt sharper, more focused, and less irritable. The mental fog that had weighed me down for years lifted, allowing me to approach my work and personal life with renewed clarity.
Physically the results have been just as impressive. My workouts feel more effective – I’m building strength and endurance I hadn’t seen in years. My body composition has improved – less fat and more muscle definition. Even small things like waking up feeling rested or having the energy to tackle a busy day have made a big difference to my overall quality of life.
Emotionally, I feel like myself again. My mood has stabilised, and I have a sense of confidence and resilience. The transformation has been about more than just hormones; it’s been about reclaiming my vitality and joy for life.
