[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 143981, member: 15043"] You absolutely will never feel the full effects of TRT without optimizing thyroid as well. That’s if your thyroid is out of balance of course. The problem is that most guys don’t get a full thyroid panel done. Even if they do, the other problem is understanding how to interpret the labs. For instance, you want total T3 to be in the upper 1/3 of the range, free T4 to be in the upper 1/3 of the range, free T3 in the upper 1/4 of the range, RT3 below 15, TSH below 2.5, and thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibiodies both as close to zero as possible. Most guys will get thyroid labs done, and if their free T3 is above 3, they think their thyroid is working just fine. So imo, there’s probably a ton more guys that are hypothyroid, and just don’t realize it. Idk how many times I’ve heard guys say “my doctor said my thyroid labs look fine”, and then they will post them, and their labs are very far from “fine”. Best advice I could give someone is to never, ever, ever, trust a doctor’s opinion on labwork. ALWAYS get a copy, and analyze it for yourself, or have someone analyze it that knows what they’re talking about. [/QUOTE]
