As a man with Low T , I diet and exercise and was still loosing muscle and gaining fat . Also becoming dangerously depressed. TRT has literally pulled me out of a bad place . So man to man if you need it , you should not give 1 damn about what anyone else thinks.
Have you started losing weight yet? I started trt about 6 months ago, ive stopped gaining weight but now am struggling to lose weight even while dieting and working out.
Iam 27 and have every specific and less specific symptom of low T. My total test came 286 and borderline normal FSH and LH levels. Does that rule out problems in testicles? So if anythings wrong it must be in pituitary or hypothalamus in my case right?
Coming up on 26 and I have the same. My LH and FSH and been non constant. Your doctor would have to take you off TRT and run tests to narrow down the cause but I wouldn’t hold my breath on a concrete diagnosis. Good luck friend I know how hard having Hypogonadism can be on the mind and body
At your age it's not very likely that your testicles aren't working, but there are other issues that could be at play, no doubt. Excess Cortisol/stress, Low Vitamin D levels, Low Zinc, Low Magnesium. You say 'borderline normal FSH and LH' which leads me to believe that diet/exercise is probably not optimal either. What does that situation look like? Otherwise, I would suggest you start Supplementing Vitamin D3+K2 (2,500 or 5,000 IU's give or take) along with 500 mg of Magnesium Glycinate, and ~12 mg of Zinc

I’m 25 and I have total test at 339 and shbg at 24.6. Lh at 1.5 and fsh at 2.5. I’ve gained weight fairly easy my sex drive decreased drastically. I don’t have sex and when I do it’s like once a month and it lasts like 10 minutes. I’m really worried because I wasn’t like this, until I contracted COVID August of last year. Prior to that, I felt fine but now I feel hopeless and depressed. What could I do?
@@algo2957 nah not really. I feel ok some days but some days I feel terrible. For example right now I’ve been feeling out of it for over a week with brain fog, balance problems coordination, and overall feeling down.

About the diet, exercices is "a hard one track", that´s sure, the public prefer a fast and easy even magic result.
Love the ridiculous anti T bias in that abc news piece
What an infantile, "News", bulletin!
