– Few caveats: I am not on TRT. Apparently the “Testosterone II and SHBG are assayed on the Siemens Centaur/Atellica”. Not sure if that’s important. Felt like shit since about 18 years old. I had a huge drop in wellbeing on every metric when I hit about 18. I had my testosterone tested when I...

So I've retested some tests at a different lab and there are many things that are out of range. I don't know where to start, or how to go about with treatment, or what is causing what, or if there is a direct connection between any of them and one of them is throwing the others off. I don't...

If someone has a total testosterone of 150 but their free testosterone is within range, do they have low T? That was my case before I started TRT. I had clinically low total testosterone but my free testosterone was within range (but maybe on the lower end of the scale). So if someone has a...
