    THE WHOLE BILL, UPFRONT

    • $149 — the assessment: 30-minute video consult, lab request and written summary. The only charge to find out.
    • $0 — the blood tests: collected under the publicly funded pathway (for patients eligible for publicly funded healthcare).
    • Funded — the medication, if criteria are met: testosterone is Pharmac-funded once hypogonadism is confirmed.
    • No membership required, no surprise fees — consult fees are the only fees we charge (follow-ups on treatment: $149, or a full year for $560 — payable $149 a quarter).

    Already on TRT elsewhere? The same assessment works as a transfer-of-care review — bring your current protocol and recent blood results.

    IN SHORT

    Enhanced Men is a doctor-led TRT and low testosterone clinic in New Zealand

    One telehealth appointment — the Low Testosterone Assessment, $149 — covers the consult with Dr Jack Yeoman (NZ-registered, MCNZ 89436), the lab request, your results explained and a written plan either way. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) starts only if two early-morning results and your LH and FSH confirm testosterone deficiency; the medication is then Pharmac-funded, with quarterly blood tests and reviews. Most men assessed turn out not to be low, and leave with a plan for what is.

    Who you see
    Dr Jack Yeoman, NZ-registered doctor (MCNZ 89436). The same doctor runs the consult, reviews the results and writes any prescription.
    Where
    Auckland-based (Mount Eden); video consults New Zealand-wide. No GP referral.
    The appointment
    Low Testosterone Assessment: 30 minutes by video, $149 — includes the lab request and a written summary.
    What's tested
    Morning testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, plus general health markers — collected at a community lab under the publicly funded pathway (for eligible patients).
    How a diagnosis is made
    Symptoms plus two 7–11am results below range about four weeks apart, with LH and FSH; reversible causes (sleep, training load, body fat, medication, mood) worked up first.
    If you meet criteria
    Testosterone replacement therapy with Pharmac-funded medication, a personalised protocol, and quarterly bloods and reviews. Fertility is discussed before you start. Testosterone is a prescription medicine with risks and benefits, discussed with you before any prescription.
    Ongoing fees
    Follow-up $149. 12-month plan $560 (four quarterly reviews), or $149 a quarter ($596). Borderline re-check $69, by invitation. No membership.

    How It Works

    01

    Book

    Pick an evening or weekend slot. Everything is telehealth, anywhere in New Zealand — no GP referral needed.

    02

    Consult

    A proper 30-minute conversation about your symptoms and the things that move testosterone.

    03

    Bloods

    A morning panel (7–11am, fasting) at your local collection centre. If the first is below range, a confirmatory second sample about four weeks later.

    04

    Answer

    Results reviewed and explained, with a written plan — treatment if you meet criteria, a different plan if you don't.

    Straight up, before you book

    Most men who come in convinced their testosterone is low turn out not to be. That is a real result, not a wasted consult — it means the thing making you feel flat is something else, and something else is usually more fixable than you'd think. What you're buying is a proper answer and a plan, not a prescription. If you do meet the criteria for testosterone deficiency, treatment is funded and we'll start it. Sometimes the answer is no — and we tell you straight.

    What the Assessment Includes

    • 30-minute telehealth consult with Dr Jack Yeoman, NZ-registered doctor (MCNZ 89436) — symptoms, history, training, sleep, mood and medication review
    • A lab request for a proper panel: morning testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, plus general health markers
    • Community lab collection near you (Awanui, Pathlab, Labtests) — the lab work itself is publicly funded when a doctor requests it
    • Your results explained in plain English, with the reference ranges that actually matter
    • A written summary and plan you keep — whether or not your testosterone turns out to be low
    • If criteria for testosterone deficiency are met: treatment started, with funded medication and structured monitoring

    Blood tests requested by a doctor are collected under the publicly funded pathway for patients eligible for publicly funded healthcare in New Zealand. Testosterone is Pharmac-funded once a diagnosis of hypogonadism is confirmed. Consultation fees don't guarantee a prescription — treatment decisions are clinical ones, made after assessment against clinical criteria.

    What You're Noticing

    Tick what applies. Three or more is worth investigating — though these symptoms have several possible causes, and that's exactly the point of testing rather than guessing.

    Four Things That Cause These Symptoms

    Only one of them is treated with testosterone. Working out which one you're dealing with is the whole job — and it takes bloods, not a symptom list.

    Actual testosterone deficiency

    A genuine failure of the testes to produce testosterone — confirmed on a repeat morning sample with a raised LH and FSH. This is the group that meets the criteria for treatment, and where testosterone is Pharmac-funded.

    Sleep and sleep apnoea

    Testosterone is made largely during sleep. Chronic short sleep and untreated sleep apnoea both suppress it — and both produce exactly the symptoms men attribute to low T. Treating the sleep often lifts the level without any prescription.

    Training load, body fat and diet

    Heavy training with under-eating suppresses the hormonal axis; so does carrying significant excess body fat, which converts testosterone to oestrogen. Both are reversible, and both change the numbers within months.

    Stress, mood and medication

    Depression, chronic stress, opioids, some antidepressants and heavy alcohol all lower testosterone or mimic low-T symptoms. Getting this right matters — testosterone will not fix a problem it did not cause.

    If You Are Low — What Treatment Looks Like

    A minority of men assessed turn out to meet the criteria for testosterone deficiency. This is what testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) looks like for them — started from a standard follow-up consult once the diagnosis is confirmed.

    • A personalised protocol — typically testosterone cypionate, with the dose adjusted on your monitoring bloods
    • Quarterly bloods and clinician reviews through the first 12 months
    • Prescriptions dispensed by your local community pharmacy, with the medication Pharmac-funded once hypogonadism is confirmed
    • Discreet plain-packaged delivery
    • Injection technique, travel letters and administration guidance

    Treatment is a long-term commitment. Most men feel meaningful improvement within 6 to 12 weeks, and full benefit takes around six months.

    ALREADY ON TESTOSTERONE?

    Transferring your care

    If you are already on testosterone — from another New Zealand clinic, or from overseas — this is the same appointment. We will review what you are on, what the original diagnosis was based on, and where your levels sit now, then set up ongoing monitoring or a change of formulation if that is appropriate.

    Bring your current protocol and any recent blood results you have. If you would like your GP kept in the loop we will write to them — your call, not a requirement.

    TRT in Auckland — and everywhere else in New Zealand

    Enhanced Men is an Auckland-based clinic (Mount Eden) that sees men entirely by video, so a testosterone assessment works the same in Auckland as it does in Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga or Dunedin. There is no GP referral and nothing to travel to.

    The two early-morning testosterone tests and the rest of the panel are requested at a community collection centre near you; treatment, once hypogonadism is confirmed, is dispensed by your local pharmacy — the injectable products and the gel are Pharmac-funded, so the consult and the monitoring are what you pay for.

    Book Your Appointment

    Select a service and find a time that works for you. All consultations are conducted via secure telehealth video, anywhere in New Zealand.

    What to expect

    Consultations run 20–30 minutes by secure video with your Enhanced Men doctor — an NZ-registered doctor practising evidence-based men's health. We review your history and goals, arrange any blood tests at a local NZ lab, and, where appropriate, send prescriptions directly to your nearest pharmacy. Follow-up reviews are scheduled to track response and adjust treatment over time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    You can't tell from symptoms alone — they overlap almost completely with poor sleep, overtraining, stress, depression and thyroid problems. It takes a morning blood sample between 7am and 11am, repeated for confirmation about four weeks later if it comes back below range, plus LH, FSH and prolactin to show where the problem sits. That's what this assessment sets up.

    That's the most common result, and it's a useful one. You get a written explanation of what your numbers show, what is most likely driving your symptoms, and a plan to address it — sleep, training load, body composition, mood, medication review, or referral where something else needs investigating. We don't prescribe testosterone to men who don't need it.

    Generally no, and it's important to be straight about that. A diagnosis needs symptoms plus a low level confirmed on repeat 7–11am samples, with LH and FSH showing where the problem sits. Published thresholds differ, and by a lot: New Zealand primary-care guidance (BPAC, 2024) puts the treatment threshold under 8 nmol/L, while the European urology guidance sits at 12 nmol/L. We assess the whole picture rather than a single cut-off: confirmed levels, gonadotropins and symptoms together. Prescribing to men with genuinely normal levels shuts down their own production for a symptom testosterone may not be causing. If you don't meet criteria we'll tell you why, and treat what's actually there.

    No. You can book directly. If you'd like your GP kept in the loop we'll write to them — that's your call, not a requirement.

    No — for patients eligible for publicly funded healthcare in New Zealand. When a doctor requests the panel it's collected at a community lab under the publicly funded pathway, so there's no charge for the tests themselves. The consult is what you pay for.

    The Low Testosterone Assessment is $149 for a 30-minute consult, which includes the lab request and your written results summary. If you go on to treatment, follow-up consults are $149 each, or $560 for a full year of monitoring, reviews and prescriptions — payable $149 a quarter ($596 in total) if you'd rather spread it.

    Borderline results get a plan: we set a retest window suited to your result, and when you're due we invite you back for a shorter Repeat Bloods Review — $69 for 15 minutes, with a fresh lab request and an updated written summary. It's booked by invitation from your results letter. If the repeat result meets clinical criteria, treatment starts from a standard follow-up consult.

    Yes, for confirmed hypogonadism. The injectable testosterone products and the transdermal gel are all Pharmac-funded with no Special Authority required. That means once a diagnosis is established, the medication itself is not what costs you money; the clinical service is.

    The first consult is usually within a week — we run evening and weekend clinics. Because confirming a low result needs a repeat sample about four weeks later, expect around five to six weeks from first consult to a confirmed answer.

    Book this one. We'll review what you're on, what the original diagnosis was based on, and where your levels sit now — then set up ongoing monitoring or a change of formulation if that's appropriate. Bring any previous blood results you have.

    Often, but not always — we will explore reversible causes first. Testosterone treatment for confirmed deficiency is generally long term, and that is worth understanding before you start rather than after.

    It can suppress sperm production. If fertility matters, raise it — there are fertility-preserving options we'll talk through before starting.

    Yes — most men train better.

    Testosterone treatment can accelerate male pattern hair loss in genetically predisposed men. We'll flag the risk during your consult so you can decide how you'd like to manage it.

    Most men feel meaningful improvement within 6 to 12 weeks; full benefit takes around six months. We will not start treatment if your bloods or history suggest a better path first — weight loss, sleep correction, or treating an underlying cause.

    Properly monitored treatment in men with confirmed deficiency has a strong safety record. We monitor quarterly to catch any concerns early.

    Yes — when it is prescribed by a New Zealand-registered doctor for confirmed hypogonadism. Buying testosterone yourself is not: it is a prescription medicine, and unauthorised supply or importation is an offence under the Medicines Act 1981. Every prescription from Enhanced Men is dispensed by a NZ community pharmacy.

    Only if you want them to. We can liaise with them, or keep your care entirely with us.
