[isos265]

23, 5'5 150lbs and have been feeling all of the symptoms of Low T the past 6 months. My diet is good, sleep is good, and I weight lift 3-4 times a week.


Full results 8:00am fasted. Unfortunately doc wouldn't get E2 (it was 10.2 (7.6-42.6 pg/mL) 12 days ago). Older results are at the bottom. Father has hypothyroidism if it helps. Thank you in advance!

Your results are a lot like mine. Your high SHBG is keeping your FT low and you LH FSH are low indicating secondary hypo. What are your symptoms? You say all. But specifics?
