> If they are low get on TRT
This blanket advice is a bit dangerous. Once on a test cruise for longer than a couple months, it's a lifelong commitment. Low testosterone has a LOT of input variables. You need to know your cortisol, your LH, your FSH, your E2 and SHBG, your TSH, and T3/T4 levels as well.
Some men can be fixed with stress reduction methods, some can be fixed with interventions that increase gonadotropins, like clomiphene or HCG. Sometimes you need to inhibit aromatization into estradiol. Sometimes you just need to lift heavy weights.
Check all your hormones, because your HPTA is not a one-variable function. Then decide on a course of action.
Hitting up Big Mike in the locker room for 500mg test cyp because your testosterone is low is a bit premature.
- wonderwonder 4y ago"This blanket advice is a bit dangerous." Its a message board friend, I advised him to get his levels checked by a Dr. Doctor is not going to prescribe TRT based on my post. No one mentioned (except you) breaking the law and purchasing steroids from a black market dealer. The word dangerous is a bit of a stretch here.
- staticman2 4y agoElsewhere on this thread you said you generally agreed with someone who said the medical consensus on healthy TRT levels was wrong and someone should shop around for a doctor with alternative views. If the medical consensus is not wrong your "general agreement" about shopping doctors is probably at least a little risky.
