What time of the day did you have labs? First thing in the morning?

Yeah, but you didn’t even try to go through insurance and then you start talking about costs, lol!

When shopping for a doctor to manage your TRT, you should treat it more like a job interview and you’re the one doing the hiring.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
