What to do to lower free test and raise total or is it nothing to worry about if you feel ok but not as good as I'm wanting.

Total TESTOSTERONE, SERUM
739 264-916 01 NG/DL
Adult male reference interval is based on a population of healthy nonobese males (BMI <30) between 19 and 39 years old. Travison, et.al. JCEM 2017,102;1161-1173. PMID: 28324103.
FREE TESTOSTERONE(DIRECT)
27.3 HIGH 7.2-24.0
 
That free T number is about perfect. Not very high at all. Many guys on scrotal cream for their TRT running double your free T level. No need to worry about it or lower it. You have to remember the free T reference range is based off of the current population, where guys don’t have near the testosterone levels as men did generations and generations ago.

How did you feel before? Now? What are you looking to improve?
 
How did you feel before? Now? What are you looking to improve?
Before- depressed, anxiety, fatigue, terrible sleep, no libido, fat belly,
Now-less depressed, less anxiety, less fatigue, better sleep not great, still not much libido, put on some muscle-should be from just working out more, no belly fat loss
improve- all the above
have changed dose strengths a few times and have switched from once a week to every 3.5 to now every other day, will keep monitoring blood and adjusting what the dr. says
 
@Vince your free test is at 30. That seems ideal. From the research I have done it seems most are happiest around that upper end or just above.

I just got my 3-month results back and am at 20 for free with Labcorp. I'd like to get them up closer to your range. Did you tell your medical clinic you wanted to get up to close to 30? I'd like to do the same in my 3-month consultation. At least to see how it goes.

If it matters, all my other lab results numbers are very close to you except total T about 300 less.

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.
