Testosterone Levels - Everything You Need To Know

[aeringothyk]

In America, I noticed a strong correlation between whether or not your endocrinology doctor was male or female and at what point they were willing to give you TRT. Women doctors don’t tend to see the importance of testosterone as much as the male doctors so they will want you to have lower levels are undergo more testing first.

Doctors are like mechanics you got to look around to find a good one.

Very good video Paolo. Thanks for posting this. One thing most people don't ever discuss is the fact that your target level or level you are aiming for while on TRT is not a constant. When you say you should aim for 600-900 you don't mention what time of the day or even what day you are testing on. Injections vary so much over the course of a week or 10 days. Day 2 will show the highest reading and then it will slowly drift down until you next shot. When men talk about an "optimum level at around 800" they are usually talking about a morning reading in "healthy young males" etc, but I wound venture to say that even a 20 year old guy would have much lower T in the late afternoon compared to his morning reading. I use Fortesta gel and with only one pump a day(after showering in the morning)I get a T reading of around 1000-1200 three hours after application. So if I put my gel on at 8am and get tested at 11am I'm usually bound1000. If I test later in the day at around 3pm my level drops to about 500 or 600. When I test before application of gel the next morning I'm at around 400. Point is the half life of gels is pretty short so you have to do it daily but it's very consistent. Cypionate injections really drop off by the end of a 7 or 10 day period. I have considered cypionate injections mainly because its so much cheaper but I've had great results with Fortesta gel so I stick with it.

Got results today, mine is 627 at age 51. Ten years ago I was 545. I have been weight training for the last three months. I guess that did the trick. Very happy.

Thank you for posting these videos. Did you notice any changes in your libido after TRT?

Best video on this subject I've seen well done

[meridethmatt]

Thank you so much much for this video. I could not find much information on low T borderline, real world normal levels and optimal T levels. You have exceedingly informed me on the whole topic and I was unsure and starting trt this week. Second guessing myself etc. I’ve had fluctuating t levels past 10 years (500 highest-240 lowest) and pcp would do nothing despite my ever increasing symptoms not attributed to anything else. Thanks for the clarification!! P. S. 50 years old

Thank you for the video. I also want to ask what can you tell about the excess testosterone levels and it's treatment? I learned that one of the side effects can be emergence of acne as testosterone causes an increase in sebum production. Could it really be a major cause of acne?

Hey serious question here. My testosterone came back at 442. I’m 37 years old, stopped working out a couple years ago after I broke my vertebrae. Haven’t gotten back into the gym yet due to pains when lifting. I ordered test and have it sitting in my room. What do you guys suggest? Should I start working out, sauna, cold plunge, super human protocol style and then retest my levels to see if I still need to take it or is it about that time and age where I can supplement? I want to go the Huberman route and do .20 every 2 days.

Hello Paolo, I'm on testosteron gel now. My doctor said a natural estrogen regulator would be good.
Do you know a good product that really works to get the estrogen levels down?

Thanks!!!

Hey Paolo, I started trt 6 weeks ago. Ive been injecting 50mg testosterone cypionate twice per week. I haven't had an increase in sex drive, energy, or strength. Do you think I should increase my dose?

[jacob]

Thank you for your video. I am 39 almost 40 year old Man, I recently got my testosterone levels checked, the results were (test. Total 5.49 ng/ml), and other reading is 1.7 ng/ml, is that low? I am confused and the doctors at the trt clinic refuse to give me testosterone because they say "my test. Levels are normal". So am I normal regarding my testosterone levels?.

[michaelshannon]

HI Paolo. I am exhibiting many of the symptoms with low TRT despite been in normal range, 600, what are your thoughts on taking a certain dosage to see if there is some enhancement despite my levels? Thanks
