Background:
Though I have had been late in hitting puberty(external signs like facial and body hair) and never had a really high libido, after turning 35 and putting on high bodyfat noticed a decline is libido.
Last couple of years worked out regularly, fixed diet and now I am in best shape of my life at 40plus. Thought of getting my Testosterone checked for the first time in my life since the libido hasn't recovered much and last few pounds of fat are refusing to go away.
Results came,
Total Test at 5.73 ng/mL (570 ng/dL), range(1.75-7.81)
Free Test 17.46 pg/mL; range (3.84-34.17). Doctor said both were normal and didn't want to prescribe any TRT drugs.
I also did a full body medical at the same time and all tests are normal, including Vit D, Bone density(DEXA) and Prostrate.No advice from doctor except to reduce couple of kilograms of body fat.
Have seen some very experienced members here on TRT and protocols. Curious to know their opinion on the test results and if there is benefit with any suggested treatment.
I would love to get my libido back, stronger and more frequent erections and better performance with lifting. I might visit an antiaging doctor in Seattle area and see if one is willing to give a prescription.
Any guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks
