[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 190565, member: 38109"] The lifestyle stuff is worth doing regardless, but large improvements in serum testosterone are less common. There are a couple other intermediate things to try that are short of full blown TRT. One is enclomiphene. I'd even start with an unusually low dose of that, say 12.5 mg two or three times a week. You're looking for hints that this is taking you in the right direction. If I didn't notice anything then I would try more typical doses. A testosterone nasal gel is another interesting option. This would give a more direct taste of higher levels of testosterone without an HPTA shutdown. Natesto is the name brand, and Empower Pharmacy has its own less expensive version. Looking again at your symptoms "...low energy/low motivation and some brain fog/forgetfulness issues...", I have to remark that I had these same symptoms appear and/or get worse under TRT. Only recently have I started to get them under control with T3, selegiline and various supplements, and by going to more extreme lengths to make my TRT emulate what's natural, including lowering the doses and restoring the suppressed upstream hormones. With all of this I finally have a taste of pre-hypogonadism normalcy. [/QUOTE]
