Got my blood work done recently. Been feeling off lately even though I lift heavy. Do combat sports. Run in the sun. Do sprints. Eat red meat and healthy fats and carbs. Stay away from dyes, seed oils, and inflammation causes foods. Drink organic bone broth in the mornings. Eat duck fat with my red meat. Don't eat a lot of sweets.
And yet, my sex drive has plummeted. I have trouble sleeping (had for the last 15 years). Brain fog. Hard to pay attention. Can't breathe during my BJJ rolls.
And so my test levels are in the mid 300s. Bummer. I'm not jabbed. But could be all the microplastics. Or just too much screen time. Or breathing in chem trail air. Or just getting older in a hormone destroying world.
Before consulting about trt, wanted you guys opinion on TRT or natural testosterone boosting methods.
Thanks all.
Was in the bodybuilding seen for a while and did a number of different chemicals. Never went crazy with doses. After the years of that and being out of it for quite a while yet still keep up with test health topics, I've learned a few things. First, it doesn't matter what your T levels really are, from a health prospective. it matters how you feel. I used to be a paramedic and one of the first things they teach you is treat the patient, not the monitor. (peeps in the medical field get that reference). A guy can have a test level in the 800s and feel like ass. And another guy can have a 350 and feel great. Point being, everyone's body chemistry is different. Find a doc who will prescribe you a low dose and see how you feel. The following info is not medical advice, consult your doctor.. However, when I felt like my levels were low, I was in my early 40s and just felt run down. I started with a very low dose, just to feel like a normal man again. I think I was taking about 40-50mg twice a week, in order to keep my levels even. Commercially available testosterone contains the Cypionate ester witch has a halflife of about 18 days if memory serves me. But your levels still fall sooner than that once you've been on it for a bit. So most men find that dosing twice weekly over once weekly makes them feel more normal. And you can also do Sub-Q route over intramuscular if you want. That's what I do. Insulin pins are all you need. I would also get your LH and SHBG checked. Consider doing low dose HCG at around 200-250ius twice a week also. I do mine along with the test. Not in the same shot though. the HCG is water based and test is oil based and the two don't mix. Both subQ and you can do them just about anywhere you want on the body. Do your own research on that as well. Also have your doc keep an eye on your estrodiol. There is good research on compounded Aromasin at a 1mg dose to keep that under control. But that will depend on your body's rate of conversion from test to estrodiol. The less body fat you have, the less you will convert test into estrogen. My estrodiol got way too high and began to have panic attacks and took a while to figure out what the culprit was. Once the estrogen was back to normal, the attacks stopped. Now that my body fat is lower, I need far less of the estrogen control. I just started taking the chemical DIM to see if that helps control it. Keep in mind what I said earlier about everyone's body chemistry being different. It may take you a few doctors before you find one who doesn't have his head up his ass about T therapy. Mine is decent. And one last point. Keep an eye on your Hemoglobin/Hematocrit levels. I for one, have to donate blood about every 6 weeks to keep that under control too. And believe me, after I donate, I feel a ton better. Plus it's just good for you all around. It's like changing the oil in your car. Best of luck, good sir!!
