In less than one month I will be seeing an endocrinologist to talk about the possibility of myself start TRT.
Background: I have tested my testosterone levels 2X and both times it came back as low. Since I am 48 yo my doctor suggested either start TRT or meet and Endocrinologist to have a second opinion. I chose the second option because my doctor didn’t ask/checked any other hormone or cross referenced that information with anything else.
Stats:
48 yo 185 lbs 12%bf lifting/exercising since I was 12
Symptoms:
Low energy, no libido, excessive caffeine consumption, terrible sleep, difficulty loosing body fat, ease to add body fat
Lifestyle:
7-8 h sleep lift 4-6X a week no cardio yoga/hot yoga 1-3X a week Pilates 1X a week
Eat very close to Paleo (a lot of night shades if that matters)
Alcohol on weekends only
Sugar addict (I indulge very often but never more than 1X a week)
Questions:
1 - what shoudl I ask the doctor
2 - what information should I have ready for him?
Thank you for your time
