Greetings from Norway

Hey guys! I'm a 35 year old male from Norway who recently found out I have quite low testosterone. I'm looking to get informed on the subject, and this forum seems like a good place to start as any. I've read Vergel's book, and quite liked it. Consise and to the point.

I lift weights on a regular basis, three days a week. Last december I had a DVT which set my training back quite a bit. The affected leg it still not quite back to normal, but it's getting better. I'm following the Starting Strength program now to make up for the less than stellar training the last six months or so. I work in IT, so total desk jockey. I'm in a relationship for the last 12 years with a really nice girl. That's about it, I guess. I look forward to participating in the forum and getting educated on the subject of TRT.
 
Thanks, Nelson! I will look at those threads. I most definitely will have more questions in addition to the ones I already have as I learn more. There's still a lot of information to digest, I'm diving into it at the moment.

Kudos on your book, by the way. I like your style of writing - concise and to the point, very informative. You're very welcome to Norway any time :-)

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.
